Saw an org announcement that we now have seven CIOs with overlapping responsibilities (we had some of them before). I guess things were going so well with chief dipsh-t as CDIO that they decided we needed even more chief dipsh-ts. This played out at... — read more 

Big re-org in Ratnakar’s organization this week. My boss moved my 1:1 to Thursday morning at the last minute today. My spidey sense says I’m in trouble. Anyone heard anything?

I’ve been hearing rumors that they will be getting rid of unlimited PTO and going back to the traditional PTO system we had in the past. Is there any truth to this?

Leadership repeats these concepts on every call, and have for years. In 20 years of having health insurance as an employee here, my costs have gone down ZERO times. Year over year, it only gets more complicated. Talk is cheap. Like propaganda, no... — read more 

Does anyone actually know what is going on? The total lack of communication or transparency makes it seem ominous.

How long are we staying in the office, if there is a badge-out system? Is there a “minimum number of hours required”? Does anyone know the “rules”?

We post so much about the micromanaging the layoffs , those people don’t care. More money for them.

Unknown date. Conversational AI expansion/ they will be repurposing some roles prior to the RIF

I have an interview with a recruiter for an internal position I applied to. Any idea what they ask? I am guessing technical questions are reserved for an interview with the hiring manager. Also my application status still shows applications... — read more 

This place taught me that couldn't be further from the truth. I have been a high performer, always available, never complaining, and yet I got miserable raises and no promotion. Elevance is the one that did everything wrong and accepting that has... — read more

Hi everyone! Does anyone here go to the Richmond, VA PP? Does it have a badge-out system?

I had a colleague who bragged about not taking a single day off in two decades. He saw it as a mark of character, as something to aspire to. I told him he was a fool and he was genuinely surprised. That kind of thinking is exactly what's wrong with... — read more 

I am seeing RDA (Reporting,Data and Analytics) emails all around. Are they planning to consolidate all reporting teams under one leadership? Will there be reorgs or layoffs due to that? Anyone see it coming soon in few weeks or months or... — read more 

For the last two or three years we’ve had so many RIFs, and I cannot figure out why. I’ve been here for almost 17 years and this is just so unusual. We are walking on eggshells feeling like it could be us any day. There seems to be no rhyme or... — read more

I’m sure this changes month-to-month or year-to-year. But, do people leaders have awareness to layoffs or are they just as caught off guard? Please provide your experiences.

Brace yourselves for potentially massive layoffs. This is reportedly confirmed by a senior IT source. And, of course, AI will likely get the blame. If you've been working after hours, you might want to consider spending some of that time looking for... — read more 

Bullet point #3 on the survey states - You can access the survey from any computer, but you must be logged into your EH account via your Domain ID. Why does this organization think people are so stupid?

That's all I wanted to say. Pay me to leave this place and I'll dance out the door.

Not surprising, though. New people don't get trained properly, can't keep up, and run for the door before the three-month mark hits. When will they realize that training people properly will benefit both the company and those of us who won't have to... — read more

The workload keeps growing, and the support keeps shrinking. I haven't seen a single meaningful change that would improve things in years. How are we supposed to keep working when we're all literally burning the candle at both ends?

I spend at least 8 hours in the office on my in person days. Is that necessary?

No surprise that reports are wrong, nothing new, this place has been dealing with that for years. Systems don't work, are not examined for the root cause of bad data and reports. More micromanagement but wait....now so many of us are on a correction... — read more
