Were you given a notification date with a later termination date, or were you terminated immediately?

Here, a few more people than previous weeks but nowhere near 100%.

Reading through the IRIS FAQ about the HCSC divesture, I am not too clear about the severance and PTO payout. I think the timing of the divesture is January 2025, and it's my understanding that Cigna will payout un-used PTO to employees who... — read more 

Things got so bad that it kickstarted me into looking for a new job - which I now found! Better pay, better bennies, and (hopefully) better culture. I couldn't be happier.

Evernorth employee here. Our systems are currently down and Contact Center can't even make calls or take them plus pharmacy systems down. Truly amazing sh-t going on!

The 20th, or the 27th?

“Employees are responsible for self-assessing their performance and progress against their goals. Managers are responsible for feedback…” I have been with Cigna for 15 years and dont remember being asked to do this. Weird

I’m an IT manager and just found out I have to fire all my contractors (US and offshore) which is about 3/4 the team and I have to replace them with FTEs from Hyderabad. Some of these guys have been on the team for 5-6 years and I am going to lose... — read more 

Does Cigna cap the increase when moving from role to role? I know some companies only allow a certain percentage above current salary for internal candidates, regardless of the role's range. What's Cigna's policy?

Any thoughts on the Medicare town hall yesterday? 🙄

Warn notice received today. Podiatry, Vision, Audiology, Optometry, Pediatrics and Urgent care closures announced today. Thank you 'Leadership team' for driving us into the ground.

Has anyone else noticed a significant increase in IT-related issues that are impacting the business and taking much longer to resolve? Wondering if related to the mass layoffs in IT. Imagine that, Cigna, repercussions for actions! And we are stuck... — read more 

On top of general “workforce reductions”, Cigna is actively eliminating onshore roles and including entire teams only to rehire them from India to save a penny. You have been warned! This has been tried many times before and failed miserably. Entire... — read more 

For those on production down time is treated as a personal failure rather than a company failure and is highly scrutinized. My applications have been getting progressively worse with every upgrade. There's little chance there will be layoffs in my... — read more 

Also, what is the current US 'Market Range' for Band 4 (Sr Advisor)?

I have no idea how I managed to miss that. Can somebody please share what exactly happened? Who and how many were impacted? Should we worry about a continuation sometime soon? It's scary to know layoffs are happening within the company while most of... — read more 

I am classified as WAH and am Band 4 in Marketing and I got put on a PIP yesterday for only “working” an average of 7.2 hours per day remotely. Apparently, I was able to be tracked on how much time I was actively using “work related” tools. My boss... — read more 

Any ideas on when we can expect the results of the pulse survey? It has been several weeks since the submission deadline.

In IRIS and stumbled across “Personal Profile”. It looks like you can submit an official request to view your profile HR has on you and you can challenge anything that you don’t agree on or how it was stated. Has anyone done this and if so what... — read more 

Case managers?

Hey, Cigna has a hiring freeze in the US but is hiring employees in India. If you want a job as an employee (not a contractor) with Cigna move to India. India employees get free lunch daily and some employees get free transportation home. The India... — read more 

Nice one. Bury as many issues as you can and maybe, just maybe, they will magically go away and we will all hold hands around the campfire and sing kumbaya together...

After systematically piling more and more work onto fewer and fewer employees, particularly US-based employees whose WFH flexibility enabled them to absorb increased workloads, company leaders appear to have chosen to punish rather than reward these... — read more 

I know that shortly after this new three day rule was rolled out, they met with managers and were asked about employees who have no one else in their office location on their team. They said they were considering that again as they acknowledged three... — read more 

Which roles/bands/department/orgs should be concerned about layoffs through the rest of this year? Tons of outsourcing and automation across the board and lots of documenting processes - big push to Knowledge Exchange. ((I've looked through other... — read more 

I don't think it's openly acknowledged but I've noticed the people laid off since last Fall seem to be primarily ones who also were sent back to an office. Is there anything to that or just coincidence? Anyone aware of the opposite where the ones... — read more 

Posting and I’m seeing a lot of jobs in MA. Anybody know the story with that?

What are my options here? Manager will not green light the transfer to another team. With layoffs team size has shrunk in half and I decided I shall not take on outstanding work especially considering compensation this year was lackluster. Do I email... — read more 

I think some talent will resign and go elsewhere because they don’t want to move to HCSC and there will be some turnover related to the audit. I think we are already seeing some audit fall out. If there were to be layoffs they would be in Q3 or Q4... — read more 

I came across this article and it talks about HCSC leasing a building in Houston. What does everyone think? https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/health-care-service-corporation-is-expanding-in-texas-302146564.html

Any lawyers on here? For companies requiring only a small percentage of people back in the office, could there be an inequitable or discrimination lawsuit here?

I manage teams in multiple locations with employees who have different FOW statuses (even within same team). Looking through Workday, it appears that the pay range for employees who are in-office is a fair amount higher than those who are slated as... — read more 

Anyone have thoughts around if there will be a high number of MA employees laid off right before or after we are acquired by HCSC? The office hours didn't quite give me the warm and fuzzies. Neither does my leader, he makes me feel like I need to... — read more 

Just attended the MA Transition Office Hours. How are folks feeling? Think there will be layoffs prior to and after transition Q1 2025?

My boss is a di-k. And I'm the whipping boy but since I have arrived, two people have left. One is on medical leave of absence. And there are only three people left... interesting to see if layoffs are on the table. But I don't care at this point

Does anyone know when this months round of layoffs is? And what orgs/depts will be hit? Honestly hoping I get laid off to avoid this stupid FOW clampdown.

Does anyone have a first hand information on how the HR is going to track the hours ? Most people I speak to including say they won’t be able to complete 8 hours everytime. In that case does everyone fall under the same bucket ? Example, a person... — read more
