#allhandsmeeting

Today. Any insights?

Surprised nobody has said anything

The Evernorth Care Management and Express Scripts All-Team Meeting scheduled for today was postponed to next Thursday afternoon.

"We’re rescheduling the meeting as several attendees, including members of our leadership team, are currently out due to illness. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and understanding."

Seems suspect...

I feel like that whole meeting was a fluff fest trying to convince everyone things are fine. Announcing right at the end that there would be another VRIF was the most important part IMO.

Come on guys, it’s not over yet. There’s a big chance we will bounce back. Let’s support our leaders tomorrow during our All Teams, let’s stop with the negativity, it’s not going to get us any where.

The entire VGI Org just got a 15 min invite from Jagan for Monday Oct. 5th at 9:30am ET for an "Important Organizational Update".

What would you like to ask?

Anyone have a read out on the Mark Hura for North America's all hands call this week? Obviously I missed it being RIF'd on Monday.

Anyone else feeling the vibe lately? Between director all-hands and the 10/29 meeting—not to mention the travel freezes—it feels like something is up…

Anyone else catch this slip from Bill F at the all hands earlier?

Another waste of time Town Hall y’all

We haven’t had an all hands meeting for years and years. Executives are too afraid to face us. Cowards. They know they can’t defend their actions and that they have zero support from the employees they “lead”. They truely are legends in their own minds. Pathetic.

Who knows what will be shared? None of it will be true, but it will be interesting.

What did everyone think about Ryan saying layoffs are now part of the “new normal” and to expect them going forward?

We were just informed in an team all hands meeting that two of our team is being let go. They were notified earlier this morning, and will be around for a few more weeks.

The next All Employee Meeting is at a CEC so they can turn the hype-meter up to 1,000 and not take any tough questions from people at HQ who actually know what they’re up to.

Just got an all staff meeting invite for 8/12 titled “new organizational structure” with absolutely zero context. I’m just waiting out my VSP end date so I’m good with whatever happens but I would be spiraling so hard if that wasn’t the case.

Any other health plans getting similar meeting scheduled? I’m wondering if the 12th is “the day” for layoffs everywhere or just in my state.

Last minute townhall invite sent. Poor planning or intentionally last minute?

This is just the most abysmal technical leadership from a cio I've ever seen at any company in a long career. Every word out of his mouth is cringe. This dip sh-t makes even good leaders like jen or olimpia look useless. Who the f makes these slides for our leaders, I'd be embarrassed to present these as a b2.

Previous cio had his flaws too but current guy has zero redeeming characteristics. Look at how pepsico it is leading in AI now that he's gone.

Ftlog p&g ditch this clown

Just curious how many people are asking hard questions which don't get answered. I know I keep posting things, but since they are difficult, they aren't answered even if no other questions are out there and there is time to answer them.

We all know that NetApp gatekeeps questions, I'm just wondering how much.

Similarly with Survey's everything is always in the 70's 80's but looking through the comments shows a vastly different picture.

No agenda
No meeting details
Only a direct meeting on teams
Thursday this week
Meeting duration 55mins

Is this a lay off discussion or a business update ?

Does anyone know ?

“Hi losers I want you to return to the office (I won’t be going in because that’s for wage jockies like you), also work even harder (I won’t be paying you more lol). Let me explain to you what AI is (even though I have no experience in it)”

global engineering and operations all hands tomorrow

Wonder what we can expect to hear

just had an all hands. VP announced that all leaders now must RTO 4 days/wk. hasn't trickled down to ICs yet but we all know it's a matter of time. and if you have been remote and don't live anywhere near an office? tough luck, I guess that means you can no longer serve your job requirements and will be let go.

this makes no sense because it's not like our entire team will be in the same office anyway even if we went full RTO. we'll all just be in different offices across the country.

Anything good come out? Unable to attend..

Does anyone in UHC have a town hall all employee meeting?

Did everyone get the meeting to discuss the state of the business on June 4th

Just watched the “Highlights” of the convention. Same old bs blah blah blah as every convention. Nothing will change in any significant way. I swear these are the same taking points I heard 30+ years ago 🫩

Heard Santa Rosa will be closed - 2 year timeline, but they are going to try to shut everything down within a year. Many teams at the site completely laid off. Waiting to see what happens. Grapevine news is that there will be an onsite all-hands tomorrow morning with VP coming onsite.

Can somebody share what happened at the all-hands?

Wondering if there are any updates?

3 jokers - KC, KP and DP - held a 30 min listening session and the way some questions were handled makes it look like they do not have any creds to be in that place. Especially KC's response to why the merit increase multiplier was low this year. Hilarious.

No shade to the other CEO, but I really enjoy Rick’s meetings. Full of great confident and I love how he takes all the questions on without having to reach out to his team. He is prepared and knows his stuff. It is a lot of info too… he must have a photogenic mind to retain all that! I can hardly remember what I ate for lunch yesterday.

The “first of many” associate all-hands left a bad taste in my mouth, for more reasons than I can fully articulate. The shift to the Harbor Point studio was the first jarring departure from the cozy, informal town halls we had grown used to before this latest regime change. The broadcast felt more like a morning news segment than a company conversation - cold, staged, and impersonal. One thing was abundantly clear: the C-suite is not part of “us.” They operate separately, and we’re meant to feel that distance.

What followed were prewritten speeches, read from teleprompters, filled with buzzwords but lacking substance. The central message seemed to be that TRP is poised to capitalize on the next economic opportunity - but what that opportunity actually is remains unclear. And apparently, we’re not meant to ask. If the goal was to model an “AI-first” approach by delivering generated, impersonal messaging, then mission accomplished.

The most disheartening realization, however, was the unmistakable confirmation that the legacy TRP “people-first” culture is gone. I’ve watched this erosion over the past decade, but never has leadership been so transparent in its lack of consideration for employees and clients alike.

We sat through an hour of “new strategy” with barely any discussion about improving outcomes for clients or associates. The AI-focused approach, poorly thought through, centers on doing the same work with fewer people, relying on efficiency gains that feel more aspirational than realistic. Questions raised in Meeting Pulse about costs, risks, and whether our existing infrastructure can even support this strategy were noticeably ignored.

Most striking, though, were the repeated references to our “thriving culture.” The disconnect was hard to miss. The culture is speaking loudly - through Meeting Pulse, through forums like The Layoff - and the message is clear: employees are struggling. We’re dealing with internal friction, outdated technology, and a lack of focus after years of layoffs and reorganizations. Incentives to perform have eroded.

Compensation cycles have been consistently disappointing, with market conditions and outflows cited as justification, even as executive compensation continues to rise. Investments are being funneled into a new headquarters and high-profile marketing partnerships, while associates are quietly laid off and replaced with offshore labor. This isn’t “doing more with less” it’s being asked to do less, with less, and somehow maintain the same standards of quality.

At this point, our ability to deliver meaningful work is being undermined, and the prevailing message from leadership seems to be that we should feel fortunate just to be employed.

Today’s all-hands felt disingenuous and, at times, insulting. But more importantly, it made one thing clear: what leadership values is not aligned with the people doing the work. The culture is speaking, but it stands in direct opposition to the narrative coming from the TRP ivory tower.

reminds me Scully saying "can we be serious now?"

guys talks for 15 Minutes , call for experts .... TS... Alfonso .....

what a joke

I watched both the earnings call and the CEO's all hands and the message from both was pretty positive. Nothing like the message he conveyed right before the big layoff back in November. I'm thinking things look good until at least November.

Are these all hands just for him to ramble? He hasn't said anything important

Since not enough of you volunteered to ensure that we can continue to receive SLT and EC level bonuses we are gong to let go the volunteers that we determine necessary and e have a separate list that we will be letting people go from. We will be reducing the total headcount by 15%

Don’t worry though we are seeing improved margins and orders coming in form customers. Are marketing efforts are starting to seeped up and take off and the future is bright for those whom are remaining
