Clinical Mess

As a member of our clinical organization i can’t believe what I am seeing being done to the organization at the hands of the newish leaders. I didn’t love everything about our team’s prior direction but at least there was honesty and integrity. Now... — read more

Another HORRIBLE policy change

Starting next year, Cigna plans to remove our 56 hour PTO rollover to only allow us to carry over 24 hours. Also not going to pay out any PTO if we’re fired or quit. Thanks for removing another freedom! Can it get any worse??

Anyone from IT can comment on this?

The Human Cost of Layoffs

Layoffs rarely lead to sustained profitability and can have serious human consequences. Those who lose their jobs face a 2 to 3 times higher risk of su----e, particularly with prolonged unemployment. For a healthcare company like Cigna, these... — read more 

WorkAssist as an alternative to layoffs

Hilarious how a lot of phone based divisions have implemented Verint’s AI WorkAssist. Advertised as something to assist the employee, it transcribes calls and alerts managers of potential privacy violations so that the calls can be listened to. I’ve... — read more 

Offical WARN Posted for NJ

If you didn't know google it next is listed as July 3rd. The dates the warn has doesn't align since 4/3 was the date. Unsure if technology will be hit again as hard but this article even mentions software engineers... — read more 

Decrease or increase Productivity target?

Is the warning sign that you’re next up on the chopping block a consistent increase in productivity requirements, which are unrealistic and unreachable, or a decrease in productivity requirements, so that your overall output is easier for someone... — read more 

Rolling layoffs ahead

If the rumors are anything to go by, more cuts are coming—and not just once, but continuously, across the board. For the foreseeable future. All I can say is: put everything you’ve got into finding other options while there are still some left. — read more 

More layoffs coming outside of IT

Another round in April - and again (another round) first week of May. These will be outside of IT and may impact all areas in small chunks. In June there may be another but they haven’t confirmed.

We’re just numbers waiting to be cut

It’s brutal out here. Every round of “cost-saving measures” just means more work dumped on whoever’s left. They slash teams but expect the same output, like we’re just supposed to magically do twice as much. At this point, it’s not even about... — read more

Data Breach in HIH

Why is no one talking about the fact that many of our clients do not allow offshore workers to have access to Production environments? How is this going to work. I personally have already seen 2 cases where offshore workers were given access and then... — read more 

Write Letters to Your Congressman

If you are still an employee, write letters to your congressman about the layoffs and the offshoring to HIH. If you really want to do something, do that, and continue to do it. Call, Write, and Call again. At that level you do have political capital... — read more 

Move on

I spent three years at Cigna with a clueless boss, impossible targets, and a team that made every day exhausting. I was drained in every way, and it even messed with my personal life. I finally left last year and now I’m paid better, working with... — read more 

Manager Gone - Direct Reports Next?

Another pointless reshuffle

This was done before, many times (layoffs, restructuring, whatever name they slap on it) and it never fixes a single thing. Performance stays bad, any small wins vanish fast, and we’re right back where we started. But hey, let’s do it all again... — read more 

Is Cigna making itself attractive to buyers?

We might be missing the real reason for all these layoffs. One reasons companies layoff employees and cut costs is to make itself attractive to buyers by reducing costs in general and making itself look more efficient. I just wonder........

Severence details

Can someone that recently got laid off share what the severance package includes? Those of us that weren’t impacted in this round are interested to know because we may be next.

Got laid off. Here's what I know

Here's the dirt I know: it's was "by function" meaning someone from high up (won't name but know who) was whispering in the ears of VPs what functions they thought should be cut. A pretty high level didnt have any say in what happened and just... — read more 

We lost some of our best talent

I'll never understand this logic. Lay off people who earn the most knowing they are simultaneously some of your best people, then end up paying more to get two people to do their job, because one new person can't handle it on their own. I've seen it... — read more 

Will I lose my scheduled PTO?

I was laid off with a termination date set 30 days out, but I had some PTO scheduled at the end of the month that I never canceled. Am I essentially losing those days? I’ve been trying to get in touch with Cigna but haven’t had any luck. — read more 

What happens to unvested stock?

Like the title says- I got laid off yesterday and I'm having a hard time getting in touch with the department at Cigna that would tell me what happens to my invested LTI (maybe they were laid off too?). Does anyone know for sure?

4/3 - Cigna’s Liberation Day
