RTO just because I am forced to do so. Collaborate with no one - all my meetings are via Teams - Merit 1.5% and gas close to 4 bucks a gallon. Thanks Gail - your stupid policy is costing me money to work here.
A FAILED COMPANY
Throughout Gail's reign of te---r, she has brought this company to a new low. It's true that all the major healthcare companies are cr-p these days, but Elephants Health has trampled on its people far more than any other I've heard. They care NOTHING... — read more
Moving pulse point locations
Hello all! I am waiting for my manager to return from PTO so thought I would ask her till then as I am freaking out. My current assigned pulse point and where I live is Indy. However, my husband matched for a residency program in Galveston, TX. That... — read more
In the clear?
Is GBD still being targeted or we "in the clear" for now? My anxiety is screaming to jump ship at this point.
Internal job transfers
Does anyone know if bosses can essentially block an associate from transferring to another internal job? No known freezes or limits within the department on transfers.
Three people gone from my team yesterday
Skilled, experienced, two were veterans. Feels like they're targeting the ones we actually need. Apparently being good at your job is now a liability.
No cuts today?
I haven't heard there were any more cuts today, did I miss anything or was yesterday really an isolated incident?

COLA raises
Why, why, why doesn’t this company never give a COLA raise. They know these simple merit increases do nothing and barely cover the difference costs of insurance not to mention all the prescriptions they don’t cover that you have to pay out of pocket... — read more
Layoffs today

Culture Commons and PAC emails
Reading my emails after a few days off and see we're supposed to support each other while our colleagues get laid off then an hour later a message asking us to donate to the Elevance PAC. What phenomenal leadership.
HR question: Does a “Do Not Rehire” flag follow you across the healthcare industry?
I worked for Anthem, Inc. (now Elevance Health) for about 10 years. In 2020 during the pandemic, I accepted another remote job with about a 30% pay increase and put in my two weeks. While transitioning my work, I attempted to upload some personal... — read more
Good departments to work for?
If you were looking to move internally, what are good departments? What are bad? I heard enterprise COC is one to avoid due to bad leadership at the VP levels. Appreciate any thought
I’m Making a Prediction
I predict Gail will leave the company within a few months (if not sooner), whether it’s her own decision or not. I’ve been here a long time and I’ve never seen a CEO stay as long as her. Our stock is tanking, and has been tanking for at least a... — read more
No plan was better than that place
It's been three weeks since I walked out with zero notice and zero backup. People thought I was crazy. Maybe I am, who knows. But you know what? I sleep now. I don't wake up with that dread feeling. That place was destroying me and leaving with... — read more
Morale is in the toilet
There was a time they would have addressed it, or at least pretended to. Leadership these days doesn't seem to care. It's bizarre. You get the feeling that if everything fell apart, they wouldn't blink. I guess astronomical income has a way of making... — read more
RIFed employees negotiating severance
Have any non-executives and non-management who have been RIFed successfully negotiated their severance? I also read comments here stating RIFed employees must sign an NDA. Is it worth having an attorney read prior to signing?
The lack of intelligence is stunning
I've worked here five years (it feels much longer, though) and I'm still surprised by the decisions leadership makes. It's like common sense goes out the window once you reach a certain level. They roll out policies that actively make our jobs... — read more
Mount Sinai NY - now out of network with Anthem

Just rip off the band-aid
Medicare UM has been hobbling along, with not enough work, since early January. Upper management says that a "strategic decision" was made to pull out of some "overly costly markets", with an expected 22% reduction in membership. It does not take... — read more
Unpopular opinion

“Redeployment Partner”
I was one of the recent folks who got laid off. My “redeployment partner” was worthless. I would email the jobs I applied for and either I’d get a response days later or no response at all. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, I feel like... — read more
AIP and Merit out today (3/3/25)
How did everyone do? I received 3% merit and 90% of AIP.
This is hard to watch
Watching Elevance Health slowly sink like the Titanic. It’s hard to imagine they will ever recover from this mess.
Stock down $28 over CMS sanction threat
Ge-z, what will it take for the board to act?
AIP
I know it's early in the week, but has anyone found out what their AIP and merit is yet? Was hoping that manager would communicate today.
The hypocrisy is staggering
Management loves to brag about perks and post about balance, but ignore a late night message and suddenly you are the example in a meeting. The whole wellness message rings hollow when the expectations never switch off. You can see who gets protected... — read more
Relocation
I am fully remote because the closet pulse point is over 2 hours away. If I wanted to relocate to another state, but remain more than an hour (or more) from a pulse point, would that be permitted ?
Leadership comes and goes, but nothing changes
Toxicity, bad management, questionable practices, all of it remains. The only thing that actually moves is the downward spiral.
Haytaian is Leaving Carelon
Haytaian is transitioning away from Carelon and everyone will move under the CFO. What are the group’s thoughts about this departure?
Haytaian OUT!
Wow, did not see that coming. Devote more time to family my Aunt Fanny.

Was there a large rebadge recently?
Saw someone title change to non-contingent worker as was shocked. How did rebadge miss getting posted on this site? This was recent as far as I can tell.

Go for the Bronze!
With the ongoing game of moving the goal posts every year to deny nearly everyone who earned an exceeds rating from ever getting one, in the spirit of the Olympics, I say “Go for the Bronze “ in 2026 - there is simply no incentive to do more and if... — read more
Operations
Seems for operations, they have to wait for the on site audits to complete and March membership numbers/projections since the end of the subsidies. They can’t show to regulators they are riffing people when we don’t meet TAT
