I know we have an exit survey but is there something called compliance questions? Been at the company for 9 years and after the past few months, it opened my eyes and realized I need to get out. Over the past 3 years, my team has underwent so many... — read more
Next JE period?
Any word on the next date for JE’s?
Cost Cutting BS
Is cost-cutting only for lower bands? I know a Director who gave a sermon on cost-cutting and budget cuts happening across, and that's how he needed to "release" team members. After a few weeks, he got promoted with a big pay increase. So then, is it... — read more
What exactly is the Voluntary Retirement Plan?
gen z, so i am ofc not eligible, but some of my coworkers retired with that. WTF is that? Cigna pays like 50% of salary at retirement forever? idk.
Eric Reed team issues
The prior post was just about that town hall. The issues in this team go way beyond a useless town hall. Share your stories of bullying and dysfunction. We just lost the best engineering guy the company had. The story we heard was he got sick of the... — read more
The relief of Friday
I realized just how much I hate and dread my job the moment I realized the relief and happiness I feel come Friday. It's almost physical. Is this really how we're going to live our lives until retirement? I have at least ten years to go, I honestly... — read more
PIP
I have been recently put on PIP. And in my experience this is based on racism/ s-xism. I have worked for various managers in the company and never received a complaint or a negative feedback. How do I handle this? This job is very important for me.

Layoffs not stopping stock price slump
That’s probably not a good sign for those who would prefer to remain employed.
Executive compensation- 2025 (are they worth it?)
2025 executive pay was just published in Cigna’s annual proxy report. Here’s how much the visionary leaders who are running the company into the ground are making - while your pay doesn’t even keep up with inflation and thousands of us are being laid... — read more
Can someone explain why Cigna is so determined to drive talent away?
We have people here that any competitor would love to have, and we do nothing to keep them. Junior staff get demotivated and check out. Experienced veterans with institutional knowledge get shown the door. What's the endgame here? Feels like nobody's... — read more
Is the staff reduction real ?
I am just wondering if this site just makes us believe that situation is worse than is it ? All my colleagues I worked with are still here and I haven’t truly seen a job displacement due to HIH or AI yet. Yes some VP or contractors were let go that I... — read more
Unused PTOs
I resigned couple of weeks back, and was expecting Cigna to pay for my unused PTOs for this year. Has the policy changed? I know we can’t carryover from one year to the other, but what about the PTOs I accrued till now? Also does Cigna also take... — read more
HIH Clueless About Layoffs
Band 4 manager here. I’ve lost a lot of talent over the past year due to RIF. As ops has moved over to HIH there’s a whole team over there doing stuff we deal with. Their manager pulled me into a meeting to say his employees were complaining about... — read more
Tomorrow is my last day
Do I regret taking voluntary retirement? No. Will this company regret hiring people who don’t know our industry, empowered to make decisions and ultimately destroying service all to save a buck? Absolutely. But after tomorrow it’s not something I... — read more
contractors
does anyone know how many are left? seems like a thing of the past
A dying industry
(This was a reply I posted in another thread, but it should probably be its own topic.) Ever wonder why Cigna, UHG, Aetna, etc. are trying to branch out into different areas? They’re hedging their bets. AI efficiency is smallest piece in our layoff... — read more
Impacts of AI at Cigna
Curious what everyone’s thoughts are on the AI impacts at Cigna? Every time companies talk about “effeciency” it often ends up meaning fewer people doing the same work. Also with the recent job eliminations and the intense focus on improving... — read more
If hired back after collecting full severance
Does your prior service still count towards any new severance you may be eligible for later down the road? I got nine months severance pay for a layoff last year but I’m considering a new position back at the company. Just curious if I was rehired... — read more
If you joined in the last 2-3 years, do you regret it?
Yes or no and a quick why. Just wondering.
2026 JE Calendar Dates
Anyone know if the JE calendar was updated for the rest of the year? I heard there was something in April? If IT is really moving toward a 70/30 HIH/US split, it seems like there will be quite a few more JEs coming up. Low key hoping I get the axe 😬
Health Insurance after JE
Hello, I am just trying to plan for post-JE when it happens. I have a special needs, 12-year-old boy. My wife is working near min wage, has health insurance, but not great, and they don't have family plans. If I have to get health insurance for my... — read more
What if
Noelle never led IT and Katya/Gina did not lead digital? Really nostalgic for what the company once was before these two/three
this company is trash
laid off and cigna sends us to a help desk in india if we have issues? zero transparency , zero accountability . what a joke of a company CIGNA EVERNORTH
Cordani and Evanko town hall
I’m still trying to unpack that strange farewell town hall Cordani threw for himself. How could neither DC nor BE acknowledge the layoffs that happened less than 1 week prior to this event and that are still ongoing? I don’t even know what I expect... — read more
RTO timeline
Anyone hear anything about returning to office? I hear rumors we are going to be mandated to become hybrid from fully remote work.
who has been offered a job through Encore, and are you going to take it?
will they take away our severance if we work for encore?
Is the 30:70 - U.S:HIH split real?
I saw some comments about how there is a push from leadership to restructure teams into a 30:70 - U.S.:HIH split. I wanted to see if multiple people can verify this. I know HIH is growing and they’re cutting US FTE but how true is the 30:70 split?... — read more
The waiting game
I'm so tired of this. People who want to leave, who'd love a severance package, are stuck here waiting for the axe to fall. The company drags it out like we don't have lives to plan. This was a good place once. Really was. Now it's just gray and... — read more
Bonus payment
Has anyone who was let go on the 19th received the email with the info on their bonus payout yet?
The type that thrives at Cigna
Look around at who gets ahead. It's the people who say yes to everything and know how to flatter the right folks. They can't actually do the technical work. Ask them to solve a real problem and they fall apart. Empathy? Leadership skills? Not a... — read more
Any word on HIH and US being hit in April?
Saw it here and heard from a few people, though none exactly plugged into decision-making. If anyone has something solid, please share.
Bonus & Increase Funding
Does anyone know what the bonus were funded at? And the merit increase percent?
April Layoffs
Had a meeting with my boss who is a band 4, and was advised another round of layoffs is coming in April… does anyone have anymore detailed info as far as departments???
Have a meeting with the contractors and people from HIH
I am working on a Gen ai product and I have a meeting to demo that to the HIH team and the contractors. I have worked hard on the project and looks like the team in HIH wants to takeover? Idk. What to do?
Eric Reed Town Hall
"Silliness" LOL
Go Elsewhere
When your CEO states, "If you don't buy into our strategy, go work at another company" - you are, indeed, working for a toxic company that has ZERO respect for its employees. Truly unbelievable that BE made it to the CEO position!
