Cigna can't keep expecting fewer employees to carry the burden of every cost cutting decision. Leadership needs to own the situation, hire enough people, and stop treating fair pay as an afterthought.
Cigna is #1 layoff place this week

Moving half behavioral health into queue
Here we go. Forced attrition to avoid severance packages right before the holiday Go Evernorth. Bravo.
Were people let go when they could not update their Tax Withholding
I know people posted this in the past, if you are not allowed to update the tax withholding does that mean you will be laid off? Thanks
We should stop hiring
If major layoffs are coming, why do we have so many open positions right now?
Is there even a slight chance low performers will be targeted?
I don't have much hope, considering that every layoff so far has been about money and cronyism, but I guess we can always hope. Let's face it, it's not that we don't have fat that can be trimmed at Cigna. It's that the fat never actually gets... — read more

I invite the sweet release of severance
Nothing would make me happier at this point than being paid by them to leave. Give me the money and I'll be on my way. Hopefully to a less toxic, better run company than this place.

And stress. And worry. And some might quit on their own under pressure. Which, something tells me, might be exactly what they're hoping will happen.
smaller work force….better not higher more in HiH then
So according to BE, he wants to “change the shape and size of our workforce, resulting in fewer managers and employees. ” so we better not see more HIH employees getting hired around the time of these layoffs
Severance
Does anyone know what the odds are that the current severance package would be updated (lowered or removed completely) prior to the upcoming early 2027 layoffs?
Blame Durga Prasad Koka (DP Koka)
DP Koka's pet project HIH is the reason for all of these problems. If you want someone to blame, blame him.

Wonderful
The most passive-aggressive sh-t from the top. They didn't like what we said and it's payback time, bi--h.
According to BE, this is what we asked for
It’s really telling that he’s trying to spin that these changes are a result of the Insights Survey. Laughable

Challenge coins
No shade to the winners but did both Challenge Coins from Evanko go to AI adapters? Not surprising, but what is surprising is that he is not even hiding the fact that patients are not our priority. But saving money by ANY MEANS is (AI, offshoring and... — read more

Maybe leaving really is a fresh start
I came across a former colleague's social media post, a few months after he took the package. He looked relaxed and happy, and it was nice to see him doing well. Part of me envies that freedom, even though I'm genuinely happy for him. It makes me... — read more
