Anyone has an insight on Charles DeShazer sudden retirement plans? He is the Chief Quality and Health Advocacy Officer.

Sounds like you will get your chance! I heard rumors of voluntary retirement packages coming soon. Anyone know if this is true? Would it pay out severance too if I was planning on retiring this year anyway?

Is DP going to be the permanent CIO soon?

Why get emotionally invested in a company that’d replace you before your desk is cold? I do my job, collect the paycheck, and clock out. The extra stress isn’t worth it when leadership clearly doesn’t care.

I was laid off several months ago too. Looking back, I realized I had gotten too comfortable doing the same job at Cigna for years. Over time, I was pulled into so many unrelated projects that were far beyond the scope of my role, and I was underpaid... — read more 

Google Cigna Jobs and Evernorth in Hyderabad. Then start updating your resume. If you or someone on your team is training HIH individuals, it’s NOT so they can back you up. It’s so they can replace you at a discount.

That there are people on here blaming their co-workers who are complaining about the toxicity. Do better.

everything is going to fall apart - literally.

I left this place after 14 years, and it broke my heart to see how far it had fallen. When they outsourced so many positions, everything got slower and sloppier. What’s worse is how leadership pretends it’s all going great despite all the evidence to... — read more 

Anyone has a bigger pictures of it ? Out of 65 K employees, in next 5 years how many will be HIH ?

I just saw a news article about changes to Section 174 of the tax code. It was passed in 2017 but didn't go into effect until 2022. It greatly reduces the tax deduction for R&D, and at least according to the article, is the real cause of the big tech... — read more 

Holey moley, phone and chat support must have been a disaster!

I thought it would hit me hard when it happened. Instead, it feels like a ton of bricks has been lifted off my back. I don’t care what happens next. I just care that I’ll never have anything to do with this place again.
