Just got out of a meeting with a couple members of leadership. Announcement to come towards the end of October.
WFH Q
Mgmt used to be flexible about WFH and let us do it as needed... Now, out of nowhere, it’s a problem, reportedly because another manager complained. As a single mom and sometime WFH offers me flexibility - but it doesn’t sound like they’re willing to... — read more
Contractor - help
Contractor for 2+ years, and not looking promising. Job market is tough. This place su-ks and LACKS DIVERSITY, big time. Managers, supervisors, etc don't give a single sh-t. Any suggestions?
Working Spouse/Partner Surcharge
Please make sure you read the details of the 2026 medical plan benefits. Cigna is adding a $55.38 per pay period surcharge if your spouse is eligible for insurance through their employer. They are promoting a capped increase of no more than 5% but... — read more
Is today the day?
Just wondering if anyone has received the dreaded 6am email today?
Business side is as well TOXIC
In long years of working, most toxic environment. Not at all healthy or productive for anyone to join this organisation. PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR JOB OPENINGS UN THIS ORGANISATION. You will regret. Plus no promotion just politics.
Cigna Agrees $5.7 Million Settlement in 'Ghost Network' Class Action
A federal judge in the Northern District of Illinois on Monday granted preliminary approval of a $5.7 million class-action settlement resolving claims that Cigna misled customers with inaccurate “ghost network” directories of in-network.
10/9/25 Layoffs?
We skipped the 9/25/25 layoffs. Anyone know who all is expected to be impacted this week?
Pharmaceutical tariffs
Recent proposals for a 100% tariff on imported branded and patented pharmaceuticals will likely increase costs for Express Scripts by raising the acquisition price of dr-gs it manages. As a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), Express Scripts' business... — read more
Coming massive layoffs?
Has any of this been confirmed? If it’s true, do we know any details? The numbers mentioned are scary high. There is a big one coming up.. not sure if it gonna be this month or next.. But a huge one.. we have given a lot of names .. like bottom... — read more
Has anyone else on the PBM side been feeling the impact of the voluntary retirements and overall turnover lately?
In underwriting, the burnout is very real. Pay even came up in the recent town hall, which says a lot. Every time someone leaves, their work just gets redistributed to the rest of us: same pay, more responsibility. Meanwhile, competitors are paying... — read more
Insight Survey
I feel bullied by my leadership to take this survey. I don’t want to take it and risk being on the outs due to all the hard truths I’d give, but now our sr leadership is asking us to post an indication if we took it or not on a group team chat... — read more
PBM Lost Amazon Contract
All the other services have been on a downtrend, now it looks like the PBM side is being impacted. Doesn't seem like Evernorth is trying very hard to maintain its growth. With them already announcing that they're building "offshore campuses" a few... — read more
Forbes List of Companies with the Best Culture - Cigna is...
#499! https://www.forbes.com/lists/employers-culture/ So much for the "employer of choice" part of the Drive to '25. Who's getting fired for this disgraceful showing?
9/25/25 Layoffs
Anyone know who all is expected to be impacted this week. Very interesting how the dates are late in the month for September and October. Good luck everyone!
Not looking pretty out there for job seekers
With over 20 years experience in contracting and network management, recently at a senior level, I’m not getting the time of day by other employers. It’s a bunch of thanks but no thanks. I did get an offer to apply as a pharmacy tech at CVS for... — read more
Job Security…
… doesn’t exist anymore. It is not a thing and it goes beyond HIH at this point. AI is the real disruptor and I’m seeing how this is already creeping into my tasks at an alarming rate
Tech Ops Laid Off - Where Did You End Up?
For those that worked in Technology Operations and were laid off, can you share where you landed if you were able to find something, or the industry you moved to? Feeling like my days are numbered, so keeping my eyes peeled for opportunities.
Thoughts on CIO
We knew it was likely coming but DP officially named new CIO. Thoughts? I think it was somewhere here where someone said DP was one of the ones pushing for HIH....
For those of you who left Cigna on your own, do you ever regret it?
I’m seeing so many people around me planning their exit and talking about how much better it’ll be on the outside, but I keep thinking about the unknowns. Did leaving actually make things better for you, or did you find out later that the grass... — read more
This place is brutal for mental health
Rules change constantly, arbitrary metrics pop up with no explanation, and you’re pressured to keep up with it all no matter how much work you already have to deal with. It’s exhausting and feels designed to make people quit. I’ve never seen such a... — read more
What were the signs?
To all folks who have been laid off or know someone who was laid off by Cigna, what were the signs? I’m talking about everything you noticed from management disengagement, anything “off” or not that lead to that last minute meeting This could be... — read more
Good luck HIH

Chief Health Officer leaving
Dr Brailer is leaving and no public announcement that I kind find. When he joined it was all over the news. Is it a secret? HUM…????
2025 Insights Survey
The best move here is to not fill this out, correct?
Next VRP offer?
Any idea when it would be for the next VRP offer? Any change to the eligibility and severance package?
Evernorth Care Group sold to honorhealth
Sale will go through in January.
Layoff possibility?
A couple of managers were let go last year on my larger team. One manager had 2 employees that were let go about 4 months ago. My manager had a team of 5 including myself. One of my colleagues has now been promoted to a senior role. The other 4 of... — read more
Bit off way more than I could chew
I thought saying yes to everything would keep me safe from layoffs, and now I’m drowning in twice the workload. Cutting back feels impossible without risking everything, and I’m just exhausted. Not sure any of this even helped, so take it from me... — read more
Downcoding visits as of 10/1
Not a good look. Its getting a lot of bad mentions on social media. This is probably why they wanted employees to be social media "advocates". (Cue eye roll.) You want regulators and Congress after you, DC? This is the way.
Cigna Corporate Culture
Hi - I'm looking for new opportunities and may consider Cigna. Very few companies seem like great places to work. But it seems like employee dissatisfaction is comparatively low. Any thoughts on taking a job here?
Next round of layoffs
Does anyone with access to the layoff calendar know when the next round of layoffs is happening?
VRP replacement
I applied for a job that they are filling due to 3 people taking VRP. Is this a good move? I thought they wanted to cut the workforce, not replace them.
VRP - September 26th
Hi everyone - just curious if anyone else at Cigna signed the VRP and has already been given their departure date. I was told today mine is 9/26 - anyone else joining me on that date?
Surviving without burning out
I used to push myself to know everything and ended up on the edge of burnout. Now that I dial it back, things feel way more manageable. It seems like pretending not to know too much while staying polite keeps the workload under control.
Evicore business model
Not a good look... — read more
So done with layoffs
You win, Cigna. You win. I'll be out of here as soon as I land a new job. And I'll do my best to make it as soon as possible. Your plan is working. Also, fu-k you.
More layoffs today
Another 7 or 8 people from marketing let go this week.
Need suggestions please
I know this probably isn’t the perfect place to ask, but I can’t get an objective answer from my manager or the directors. I’ve tried, but all I get are vague responses. I’m hoping someone can give me a straight opinion on how to handle this. I’m a... — read more
