This has nothing to do with RIF’s. But please be safe. Evacuate if needed. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. Praying for the best outcome possible. Hurricane Milton is not letting up 🥺

If HR or Directors or anyone in the know out there...Are there going to be rifs on 10/17 and 11/14? I read prior postings and the info appears somewhat inconclusive so I am wondering is anyone in the know....knows. If so, please share. Thank you

In another thread someone shared that CM/DM is shifting to Carelon on 1/1/25, as part of Elevance 30. What is Elevance 30 - sounds like a major org overhaul?

What’s going on with GBD? So many states on performance . People getting moved. Claims processing offshore. Is GBD in danger ?

They’ve just put a hold on internal transfers from Carelon until the end of February.

Is this a good thing or inconsequential that this was rescheduled for a potential rif day?

I've heard it mentioned a few times, but can we be certain this is true?

Is there any rhyme or reason as to who gets rif'd within a team or department, or is this predetermined by HR?

Please take time off of this site and take time for you and your family. I wish you all a Happy Friday and upcoming weekend!

Has anyone seen anything from Riffy? They had the most accurate info regarding upcoming layoffs in the past. Riffy, I hope you are still with us and doing well.

Does anyone in the know....know if RIF'S will take place on both of these dates? I am new to this site and reading through the posts...but wanted to ask.

Does anyone have any updates on possible 10/17 RIF? I personally have not heard anything one way or another, so I thought this community site would be good to ask.

I wish they would plainly say that they may have to RIF some positions. Like don’t dance around it, no quick embrace AI/change meetings, and stop the being “efficient” lectures. Inventory is low. I can bet that as soon as other similar company’s... — read more 

Is this related to someone who may potentially be rif'd or does this have nothing to do and this is unrelated? This was mandatory and now in Workday this shows optional. Anyone in the know...know?

Do the managers get notified of upcoming rif and complete some kind of assessments or something? If they do, how far ahead of the rif do they know? 2 weeks, a month? Please be honest.

That meeting was like a symphony of words about nothing, with no clear melody—just a whole lot of talking in circles, leaving everyone confused about what we actually discussed!

Question for recently RIF’d at retirement age - Were you offered any package that included medical insurance or other retirement specific benefits? (Or is that optimistic to the point of delusional??) Thank you.

The end of line is coming for many of us. Key dates. 10/01/24. And 03/2025

I mean, it wouldn’t be a shocker. Anthem is going for as much offshoring as it can get away with and suffer no consequences at least for now. I wouldn’t mind being laid off in the next round, as I see no future in this company for any of us. For that... — read more
