Gave this place 18 years. That’s the thank you I got. Loyalty means sh-t these days.
Learning development Grp -Evernorth
A colleague of mine on this team just got a calendar invite for 1230e today titled “org update” It apparently includes the non clinical side as well. CCs, the instructional designers- the whole learning development group. Does anyone know... — read more

Good luck folks! Hope everyone finds work quickly. They got a good handful of us this am In IT. Brutal hit for our teams. Decisions were made after the town hall in dec. But if you got a invite this afternoon thats prob good news. The cuts were... — read more
What happens when a manager is impacted?
Does HR or someone higher up communicate that news to you?
Curious, anyone now hoping for je?
At this point I find myself surprisingly hoping to be on this je list, and wonder how many others have gotten here? I wasn’t feeling this way and know it’s a bad market apparently but some severance and time to pull myself out of the anxiety I now... — read more
Starts today
I already got my invite with upper management - a 1on1 invite that has never happened before. In Evernorth IT side.
After tomorrow, what happens for remaining employees?
Are we safe for a month? Two months? The rest of the year? I’ll admit that I have been very unmotivated to do any work the last few weeks. The rest of my year will probably be the same if I make past tomorrow.
Cigna Global
Anyone here from CGHB that knows if we are getting hit Tomorrow? US based employees are scared, they hired Indian people for every position so basically they already have our replacements, I wonder if we will be all Job eliminated or what??
JE Notification Process
I have never been through this before, and am wondering how they notify people of JE. Does an email invite for an HR group meeting go out? Does your direct supervisor tell you? How are you informed of your severance package? My team and I are so... — read more
I left Cigna in 2017. It was the right move.
You are nothing more to any company than a line on a spreadsheet. They look at the cost of keeping you as an employee versus the cost of dumping you. A company accountant ran an algorythm on a speadsheet and you are choosen. You may have has a less... — read more
Any updates about 2/19?
Is tomorrow really happening? Anyone know what depts may be on the chopping block? I know it might be inevitable, but w/ my wife's cancer treatment it's even more stressful.
TECDP PIP
Anybody know of any situations where a contractor or TECDP got hit with a PIP, or was unable to post-out of their role. Seems to be a huge concern as a lot of the class is trying to get post-outs and are struggling, with some having to leave... — read more
Definitely not looking forward to the aftermath
If I survive this wave, all I can hope for is more work, more stress, and definitely more chaos. Nothing to look forward to but holding onto this awful job for as long as possible. I'm demoralized to the point of being both numb and depressed. I... — read more
Non Compete
Can anyone direct me on where to confirm in WorkDay / HR Central if I have a non-compete in place? I recall year over year attesting to one under Express Scripts; however since moving under Evernorth a few years ago, I don’t recall signing /... — read more
JE decision
If there’s a manager, or HR… or whoever that knows this please, who is making the decision of who is eliminated from their team? Does this come randomly by HR or does manager have a say on who leaves?
Morale in the gutter
On my team especially after 1/29 layoffs. Anyone else?
I doubt David C would ever lead like this.
I saw this post earlier and thought it was worth to share here. When Nintendo faced disappointing sales during the Wii U era, the company’s leadership made an unusual decision. Instead of reducing staff, then, president Satoru Iwata voluntarily cut... — read more
The Big Day is 2/19
The Big Day is going to be 2/19. Lookout for an email invitation between 6am and 9am...best of luck to us all.
Layoffs are brutal and not just a news
Imagine a man who is the pillar of his family — the sole breadwinner, paying the mortgage, managing expenses, carrying the quiet weight of responsibility every single day. Now imagine him being laid off. He walks back home, opens the door, and looks... — read more
Layoff checklist
Can anyone share a practical checklist for right after getting cut? What documents do you need? What should you sign or not sign? I want to be prepared.
Remember when Cigna was good?
There was a time I was proud to work here. Cigna used to appreciate its employees. Somewhere along the line that changed, and it's never going back. I miss the way things used to be.
The most insulting way to lay people off
Getting laid off is like a bad performance everyone pretends is respectful. They read a script, hide behind wording, shove legal paperwork at you, and act like they care. Then they'll turn around and refill the same role like nothing happened most... — read more
What happens with health coverage when you're laid off?
Does anybody here know?
Layoff with PIP
I just got a PIP. Given the current state of the company and the layoffs, would you think I will be axed at the end of the improvement period?
All Team Meeting is scheduled earlier than usual
The All Team invite is for early March. Usually it's around 4/20. Is this a planned morale band-aid after more layoffs 2/26, are they preparing to announce something, or am I reading too much into everything for JE signs...

How Were JE Determined?
Does anyone know the logic behind who was determined to be JE’d?
The 19th doesn't make sense for layoffs
It's pay week. That would mean all the usual habits and rules are out the window. Where is this rumor even coming from? If it's not close to an official source, it's probably not true.
Recieved email this morning
A email was sent regarding a meeting that is supposedly coming up with the new Operations Senior Director. Per the email, the new Operations Senior Director wants to get “acquainted with our business”. Any ideas of on what this could mean? No date... — read more
Friday the 13th
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. Good luck everyone.
for those that know but aren’t saying
if you have any knowledge about the layoffs and drink the cigna koolaide enough to lie to coworkers or withhold information - you are sc-m. do your duty to mankind - give a coworker a text or call on the side. spread the information you are not... — read more
Can we safely assume we're in the clear until the 26th?
I would really like to have a weekend or two without dreading the next week. Why not just tell us, ffs? This scrambling for scraps of information is its own kind of torture.
130,000 jobs added in January, Health care accounted for more than 60%, but Cigna laid off 2000!
What’s wrong with Cigna? Against the trend? Cigna laid off 2000 employees while other health care organizations added 82k jobs! 130,000 jobs added in January ! The January numbers came in stronger than the 75,000 economists had expected. Health... — read more
I'm glad it wasn't today
For what it’s worth, I’m glad it wasn’t today. I appreciate the extra time, even a day makes a big difference when you’re preparing for the worst.
Things that make it worse..
I feel like all the bs iris articles about making a difference and flu--er content about amazing impact is just nauseating. Read the room and chill tf out. Peoples lives have been turned upside down.
2/26
Layoffs will happen 2/26. The dates are 1/29 & 2/26 for the whole enterprise. Not sure who all will be impacted but fingers are crossed .. good luck everyone.
The wait is the worst
I just need them to get it over with. If I’m laid off, so be it. But the constant waiting and stress are wrecking my mental health and starting to affect my physical health too. I need this to be over.
