Hey all, My Workspace was really acting up yesterday, enough that there was no way to make or take calls without having them be significantly delayed so my leader asked me to reach out to help desk. I reached out first via phone and got a Konda... — read more

LOL office said they will be getting us a scoop of ice cream as a "thank you"
This place is so beyond parody that it is hard to believe they aren't trying to actively spread the rot.
Ice Cream is the new Pizza Party
So they now let us have a bowl of ice cream, as opposed to the classic slice it tie of pizza, to make us think that we are valued and are “getting a perk” and that we will forget that we have better treats in our fridge at home. If we were valued... — read more
OneView Down
One of, if not the most important system we use is currently down, creating widespread issues across medical and behavioral departments. Figured this should be noted given all the talk of increasing tech issues lately on here.
Anyone knows the numbers and goal for HIH?
So I have heard they have a goal to recruit for 1000 roles in HIH. (Cigna’s India office ). That means all of the contracting positions will be offshored. But they are not stopping at just contractors but looking to replace full time roles also... — read more
Gossip about other companies in CT
Looks like Aetna also made 3 days return to office mandatory. Hearing a similar theme for other companies as well. How do companies all of a sudden make this shift one after the other ? Does some agency or govt folks ask all companies to comply at... — read more
Next phase of layoffs may be just by pushing people out in various ways
Maybe traditional severance based layoffs may have paused, but I think mass micro-management based write-ups and corrective action is the next "Phase". I think Cigna is going to leverage the unpopular FOW rules to fire people and save more money by... — read more
Did you all see this ?

RTO PPL NOT COMING IN
Are they actually seeing those badge swipes? I dont see people on achor days ij assigned cubes come inalmost ever. Maybe this is all a hoax theyre monitoring when theyre not actually seeing whos coming in or not
Layoffs finally over?
Haven’t heard of any team impacted by layoffs yesterday. Are the mass layoffs done? Are they done handing out severance and now rely solely on attrition from FOW and toxicity to reduce headcount?
High Band 4 advice
I am in high band 4 and I was poking around on the internal job listings and noticed that the range for many of the jobs similar to mine have a range that starts about 20% higher than what I'm currently at. I'm assuming this is just compression... — read more
I can’t stand this place anymore
I’m burnt out. Completely. I’ve worked hard for so long, and now I have a feeling that it’s all been for nothing. I can lose my job in this grinding machine at any moment. Have no savings to write home about, but what I have are years lost to work... — read more
ADA accommodation approval to remain at home
Has anyone submitted a request to stay at home using an ADA accommodation? I currently do not have a seat assigned and am concerned I will be assigned one soon since my office seems to have space according to iris. I have mentioned it to my boss and... — read more
What’s next to come ?
Wondering where this stops . Money needs to be saved from every corner . Not now but 5 years down the line , where do you think all the set of current directors and managers will be ? With HIH plus AI , where are we heading ? How are we doing... — read more
6/20 Layoffs Congratulations Thread
Let’s hear those stories of freedom and vacation plans. The kinds of stories only a free person knows.
RTO not going as planned?
Is it just my office or is everyone watching their coworkers work a few hours and go home? Not to mention open desks all over the place on anchor days (even though it is busier). People don't seem to be following the 8 hours rule.
Medicare is being gutted at the moment. Why?
Email after email about organizational changes in Medicare. Does anyone know what is going on? Why this could be happening?
Next RTO wave
Thoughts/insight on phase 3? With all the seats being moved around can’t imagine they wouldn’t call back more “office aligned no seat assigned”
Evernorth Town Hall
Thread to discuss the Evernorth town hall from earlier today. One thing I can't believe is the mention of the a/c being out in part of the St. Louis office in the same breath as discussing FOW and anchor days. I also heard in a few meetings that... — read more
Medicare Clinical and Quality Team Open Mic
Any thoughts?
My WebEx is fully down and the "innovation" hub is the most useless place in the world
Long story short, I am a manager at Evernorth and my Citrix is completely down and I got someone who I suspect is from the Hyderabad hub who "troubleshooted" for close to 30 minutes before telling me that my keyboard was the reason my Citrix kept... — read more
Reservation system cancelled my reservations
What does it mean when you reserve a desk for the following week and the system keeps canceling it. It has canceled my reservation several times for next week and it’s very annoying.
FOW has totally changed my approach to work- for the worse
My entire outlook on working for Cigna has changed since the brilliant “Future of Work” plan was implemented. I am a senior manager who’s been at Cigna for 17 years. I lead a team of 37 people but only one is in my same office. I have worked from... — read more
Davis Cordani is...

Anchor days- monitoring?
For the anchor days does anyone know how it will be monitored? Or maybe when they expect monitoring will die off? I honestly just don’t want to go in at all and see how long I last but don’t know if that will happen.
When to jump ship?
Question for those looking or have left. How do you balance the difference between salary and PTO days at a potential employer? Does less money and PTO days automatically disqualify them or do you look at the overall culture of the other employer... — read more
Greed has taken over Cigna and the stench of it is overwhelming.
I am sadden that Cigna "who I thought was better than all of this" has stooped so low. Cigna is in a very unique industry and position where it can benefit many Americans and people world wide to make the overall quality of life "Vitality" better. In... — read more
What happened to our coffee
These power hungry weirdos can’t even give us our free coffee back after forcing everybody to come back to the office. It’s pathetic. Any time I mention this to a friend outside of Cigna, they are d-mbfounded that we don’t have coffee for employees... — read more
Working for a large corporation is no longer a good or safe way to earn a living in America
Many large corporations have recently exhibited ruthlessness when it comes to creating profits and value for shareholders. Cigna is a prime example of this and puts on a hypocritical facade that pretends to care for its members and employees when all... — read more
Anchor Days Are A Failure
Second week in there aren’t any more people in CT on anchor days than there used to be. Plus there are managers, directors, and VPs who have only been in a few times since I was forced back in September. “Dina’s we say, not as we do” All this does... — read more
Re-hire job eliminated staff?
I have to ask has any areas where opportunities and open positions were posted that they actually even considered hiring/rehiring staff that were recently job eliminated due to consolidation? I know so many colleagues who were let go and I’m... — read more
How big is the 6/20 layoff supposed to be?
And does anyone know which areas will be impacted? Sounds like IT will lose some roles to be moved to Hyderbad. And Case Management will obviously be another area.
Declining Vitality
FOW is negatively impacting my vitality by adding stress, anxiety, anger and depression to my day. I am adding medical, behavioral and pharmaceutical expenses to Cigna. It has disrupted my 12 year WAH schedule. I can no longer walk with neighborhood ... — read more
Illness at the CTC?
Anyone know of something going around at the CTC? A coworker has been at the CTC this week and is now reporting feeling feverish and unwell. This is exactly why I don't want to go back to the office. I got COVID a few months ago and I'm still not... — read more
How did your coworkers react to your layoff?
I was separated in January. I think it's interesting which coworkers contact you after job elimination and most glaringly who doesn't. I truly appreciated those that reached out. I had made contact with my team and many others that I knew for years... — read more
The panel was literal propaganda and cringe
It was amateur hour and not even well-designed to make it sound like the office was such a selling point. Just be honest and say the only "selling point" is that the office may or may not have complimentary coffee for everyone. Oh I guess it's also a... — read more
Commuting on Company Time?
I saw a comment someone made about making the commute to and from the office on Cigna's time (i.e. during your work hours). A few months ago, there was a Webex q&a panel meeting thing about FOW and people in the chat were frustrated and saying... — read more
