Is there an internal hiring freeze? Hardly seeing any posts internally. Any insight on when this will lift? Aren’t we recession / tariff proof?

The thought of starting the whole search process over again is exhausting. I want to leave, I really do, but having to interview at my age is extremely daunting. I'm honestly not sure how to get over it.

All band 4+ employees must plan their succession (replacement) and justify their skills via Workday before the end of the month. Data will be used for more layoffs and offshoring.

48 minutes in and so far I’m not laid off

Neato! We can now be unpaid shills for the company through our personal social media accounts. And people are apparently doing this? Good God we have some absolute lemmings on payroll.

H1-Bs are a scam and a way for American companies to import cheap, compliant labor. Companies use them to suppress wages for Americans. Many of us have or will be affected. If Trump cancels all H1-Bs, he will become the most popular President we... — read more 

New personal record: I made it a whole three months at Cigna before wanting to run for the hills. Impressive toxicity levels. Congrats, team!

US is putting 25% tariff on India (until he changes his mind of coz) Is that a good news for people living in US ? Will that slow down the HIH recruitment ?

Here is a comment from Yahoo message board. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/CI/community/ More layoffs coming? Institutions were displeased to see that the US commercial membership account number continues to decline. It happens every quarter... — read more 

I don’t find that surprising anymore. The way they achieved a good 2K target in just an year is something. Enbrace for more role transfers to HIH. This time . It is not just engineers, but PM, PO, SM ,BA every single role essentially .

What do you guys make of the changes to the TECDP program that were announced this morning? To me, this seems like a move to slowly ki-l the program and to shift the hiring of new tech grads to HIH instead of from US universities. Also, I’m curious... — read more 

Just a few words if somebody is considering joining Cigna. If you're ambitious and actually want to grow, this is not the place. It's stuck in the past, full of micromanagement and outdated systems, and the only thing that gets you ahead is kissing... — read more 

What does it mean? For c and a side?

I’m taking the early retirement deal and am curious how many other people are. I’m 56 with 18 years of service and I figure I should take the money while it’s being offered. Things are only going to get worse for those still at Cigna and this way... — read more 

Is there another set layoff date anytime soon? When are the 55+ people who accepted the package leaving? Will they extend the package to younger employees?

Our recent town hall was basically a mandate ti start using the AI tools. I tested it out and came away very unimpressed. Grok and ChatGPT were able to resolve my issue better than 365. I hope I’m on the list of team players now.

New data shows 24% of people laid off between ages 50-65 can't find another job. Those who do? Average 11% pay cut. Men take 15% hits, women 7%. The wait is worse: 55-64 year olds spend 26 weeks unemployed vs 19 weeks for younger workers. Many... — read more 

All the labor arbitrage is short term with AI looming large. Cigna and other fortune 500's won't need their massive workforce as AI replaces much of what everyone does. HIH made sense in 2010 but there isn't enough runway now. Stop the madness. ... — read more

Look at the list of wrongful acts Cigna has been sued for. This is why they are laying off. Gotta cover those losses right? Don't believe David or Bryan addressed any of these in any meeting? Millions upon millions paid by this company for doing... — read more 

You can feel the lack of honesty in every meeting. It is clear that profit came first and people are just numbers. No trust, no stability, and no real support from the top.

I can’t make sense of the flurry of org announcements today. It seems to just be a bunch of senior leaders swapping roles. Can anyone explain what the point of all of this was?

For those who left this place through forced exits, I often read here that people land somewhere with better pay. I don't know how true that is in this current economy. I landed somewhere, but one income won't suffice. So I'm working and I am in what... — read more

They want military effort for fast-food pay, then wonder why morale’s in the toilet. How about they try leading instead of lecturing? We’re not lazy, we’re just tired of carrying managers who forgot what real work looks like.

can anyone shed light on what's being discussed in these meetings??

Oh boy

First I’ve heard of this in years

Go to the "USE-T_Contractors+Employees webex chat and it looks like the 74 "newest USET colleagues" have names that would suggest they are hired from the Hyderabad, India (HIH) office?

…what is the next move? Will they offer the exit incentives to a slightly younger group? Will they offer incentives based on years with company? Will they forget about layoffs and give everyone a raise?

It never ceases to amaze me how sleazy this company is. They sent out a "special incentive " retirement option to 3500 employees 55 and older. It was sold as a special opportunity for years of service a d dedication. It's the same thing as if you got... — read more
