Microsoft Layoffs today show the dire state of corporate world. Lot of devs involved in the core development of compilers were let go as well. Imagine if you are laid off and supposed to complete with the employees of Amazon and MS. Buckle up guys. — read more
Noelle's last day
Be sure and sign the card and don't forget to pass it along - it's an anchor day so no excuses! Cake will be served in the breakroom at 3:30. If you have a funny story or a cute memory we will be sharing those during this time.
How did DP enjoy the days as interim CIO?
Is it possible to become the full time permanent CIO? Work harder, nobody cares!
Lawsuits?
Any other Cigna MA employees considering suing Cigna Corp or HCSC for the deceptive about the entire deal?! We were demoted and replaced by DEI hires because HCSC was too insecure about the talent that actually leads the business they acquired. If... — read more

Please, think about your future
I get the urge to make a dramatic exit when you land a new job. Trust me, I’ve been tempted too. But think twice before ghosting or blowing up at your boss on the way out. You never know when you might need a reference, or even find yourself... — read more
I'm worried about this week
I think we haven't seen the end of this.

https://newsroom.thecignagroup.com/the-cigna-group-recognized-for-excellence-in-employee-well-being-mental-health Holy cr-p. How bad must the competition be, for Cigna's employee well-being/mental health approach to be award-worthy? I guess folks... — read more
Is it finally over?
At least for this broader round?
On Evernorth
# Themes from the Cigna / Evernorth Layoff Thread ## Poor Communication & Cold Delivery A recurring theme is deep dissatisfaction with how the layoffs were communicated. Many employees were blindsided, receiving short-notice invites and impersonal... — read more
Relax
I think we all should just relax at this point. It’s really stressful to be on here worrying about layoffs & then arguing about it. We are all on the same team!! I wish I never knew about this site but it’s addicting!! It’s terrible for our mental... — read more
Provider Ops again today
No other comment from me.
A thread to mourn NOT being eliminated today
I had a lot of hope for getting JE’d today and spending summer with my severance before finding another job in the fall. I have been with the company for nearly 13 years and my level of burnout is now nearly unbearable. I still enjoy what I do and... — read more
Need an opinion
Hey all, I am a Technical Manager in Data and Analytics Engineering. We are hiring a lot on HIH and lot of times, I am just “told” what to do rather than being in on things. I am truly not happy the way leadership is running things . Keeping even the... — read more
How do severance payments work?
Legacy ESI employee here. I know years ago when someone was RIF’d, their severance was paid biweekly and was contingent on them still being unemployed. In other words, if they got another job before their severance “time” ran out, the payments... — read more

You hate it here so much
And yet you stay. What does that say about you?
It'll be bad
I know of a dozen people that are quit or plan to in the next month it’s gotten so bad. Between that and layoffs on Thursday how bad is it going to get for the rest of us that are left without the luxury of quitting? This is one of the things I’m... — read more
You don't realize how bad it was until you're out
It's funny how you don't recognize the toxicity until you're free of it. At Cigna, just logging on each morning felt like wading through emotional quicksand, having to face the constant dread, the collective misery in every meeting. Now that I'm... — read more
Departure package request?
Optimism here…I remember hearing several years ago that employees could request that HR put together a departure package for voluntary separation. Does anyone know about the history of this, and, if true, if it’s still something that could occur? — read more
Failed leadership
Is anyone else tired of watching so-called leaders pretend problems don’t exist? Instead of actually addressing issues, it feels like they just ignore them and hope we all forget. At this point, I’m not even surprised anymore, just disappointed. How... — read more
JE day tomorrow?
Maybe we can get back to why this site was created instead of it being a general bi-ch session and reporting the news on people leaving. Is tomorrow a JE day? Will certain areas get hit hard again?
WAH Attestation
Look at section XV. They can demand inspections of our workspaces in our homes. Is this even legal?
Don't you dare quit!
Let them fire you or lay you off. Quitting is helping them.
Doing more with less will do all of us in
Cutting management? Fine. There are too many, and a lot don’t add real value. But cutting even more of the people who actually do the work? The ones who remain will eventually start dropping like flies, one by one. My team’s already been cut to the... — read more
Systems Down
We are going on hour 6 of the most important system for EBH calls being down with no resolution as of yet. Monday is obviously the busiest day of the week. Is this a result of tech layoffs, incompetence, or a combination of both? Of course, we’ve... — read more
Find a way to leave
I used to think the constant stress and chaos were just part of the job, at least until I left. Now, working somewhere with actual respect and professionalism, it’s like I woke up form a dream (more like a nightmare). Funny how you don’t realize how... — read more

Employee Assistance Line

Talent hires vs use of consultants.
As a relatively newer hire who was given the company line on talent hiring, I am not understanding our love affair with consultants. If we have been so focused on talent hiring as a philosophy, why do we continue to need consultant engagement after... — read more

All teams thread 4/21
Surprised to see no thread to discuss the all teams town hall given that it was marketed a lot to attend in person in office.
Band 6: Unlimited PTO?!?!
I just saw several posts on the threads about a typical employee’s PTO policy that say the executive class has unlimited PTO now. If true, that’s so tone deaf it’s incredible. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Also, if you’re reading this... — read more
