VP’s and Executives need to cut their bonuses
Elevance is spiraling out of control…cut the leadership bonuses!!! Until mid February now there’s months of negotiations for the worker bees bonuses and merit raises…it’s ridiculous. The Pennie’s given to colleagues below VP level is shameful!!!!!... — read more
Carelon is HORRIBLE
This place is a zoo!!!!! Nobody knows what the heck they are doing…just chasing their tails. VP of Staff upward should be let go! Never seen such a rat race! If you think it’s rough now it’s going to get worse and worse in 2025.

LayOff’s and offshoring
I hope trump administration comes in and gives higher ups a kick on there but to stop offshoring and bring back jobs to US.
I’m so ashamed to work for Elevance

Badge in policy for associates
Are associates required to badge in 3 or 4 times per month?
Webtime clock

People need to stop quitting without finding a job first

Carelon is horrible
Working in Carelon is probably the worst decision of my career. Ask a simple question and it takes multiple calls and meetings to get it answered. It is a rat wheel…nobody knows what’s coming or going and from the VP of Staff upwards are yes/no men... — read more
