I opted into the VBO and other than the automated email to check my system info/equipment return, I have not heard a word on next steps and timeline for separation agreement. Anyone else?

Can you believe it? He doesn't like niche acronyms...so kewl

Lastly, this sort of goofy article, while sprinkling in the factually incorrect terms 'Chief' and 'CEO' with G2 and using examples of other quirky CEOs, suggests he's being artificially pumped up for something.

Got fired today. I'm a team manager. But my manager wouldnt tell me if and who else on my team was also being fired with me.
Each team member one by one is getting meeting invite to be fired. Over a few days. And not at the same time. With a few still left who have no idea if they are just on the end of the list or have been spared this round.
WTF? Seriously you su-k OpenText.

No worthwhile insurer would tolerate this.

Here is the first sentence. You can gauge your own expertise by whether you have a panic attack reading it out loud.

Health Care Service Corporation, a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, which offers Affordable Care Act-compliant individual and family marketplace health plans across Illinois, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, is reaffirming its commitment to serving consumers through the marketplace in 2027.

Since some here were asking, here's your head's up. They appear to being releasing the full recording edit free.

Anyone else?

If you want to know what’s happening at PepsiCo don’t ask your leaders, ask Reddit and news feeds. 1,000 is the number to be laid off and oh yeah we lost Regal.

I know they sent out the communication about changes and all, but it feels too quiet. Like nothing has been really said about what’s going on.

Today. Any insights?

Remember how the results from the VoE came back, and they promised to discuss them with us?

Is that ever going to happen, it are they just ignoring them again this year?

Do managers know when the next layoff will be and who will be impacted ?

Questions asked internally are not anonymous. Ask yours here instead!

Heard through the grapevine that there may be a tenet for South tower and with that most people would move to North, with labs moving to Alpharetta or some such.
With it being overheard from someone else's second hand info obviously take this with a big grain of salt, anyone else heard similarly?

I know some communications went out today. Not many. For those that did receive info please share

Did he set ant direction in the all staff this week? What's the new plan.

Under no circumstances are you to speculate when we will be eliminating your position. We will be "transparent" and inform you of your elimination the day it happens.

Stop talking. You're making it worse, not better. STFU.

They just said the quiet part out loud! In not so many words she is telling you to start looking for other opportunities. IYKYK

wondering why ?

Our past two quarterly IR calls have been executed poorly. We had a huge beat in Q2 and spent the call pontificating on possible 2027 headwinds. The stock fell form $107 to the mid $80s before finally rallying back into the $90 range. Today we launch an obviously controversial, obviously high-risk, split of the company, reversing our 20-year strategy. Our description on the call was oddly naive - we used generic platitudes and a "what me, worry?" casual tone, and worse talked about it in soft, flabby language, to explain an extraordinary gamble. And the stock tanks $10 more on a day the market is up 1,000 points. Is our communication and IR team warning him of these, frankly pretty obvious, risks? I fear not and we need to upgrade quickly. very quickly.

Haven't you learned by now that town halls are completely useless, all good and relevant questions are ignored, and at the end we know exactly the same things we knew before it started?

…wasn’t streaming. Any actual updates from Takis? In-office mandates, badging, etc?

So far, nothing actually useful.

So tired of these town halls being a repurposed stockholders meetings. Never seems like any real information or solutions are ever really addressed. How many times are we going to hear about "in this together" or you own this project that an entire team is already paid to do

Hello, I'm a reporter for Health Payer Specialist, a Financial Times publication. I would love to see the CEO's email or learn more about what Cigna employees have been told at this time. If you want to share what you know, feel free to send me an email at jiselle.lee@ft.com.

Who wants to be the one to educate our CEO and whoever is guiding him that the term accelerate when coupled with “multi year” is an oxyMORON.

Can you share what it says?

Many of you may have noticed an increase in divisive content on LinkedIn lately. It’s become a near-daily occurrence in my feed. One recent post on offshoring roles to India stood out, and I’ve shared the link below for anyone interested.

My view: the talent in India is strong. But the strength of a talent pool doesn’t guarantee the quality of the people a contracting firm assigns to your engagement. Outcomes depend on how vendors are selected, how talent is vetted, and how the work is governed. Those are the questions organizations should be asking.

Enjoy the read, several employees have liked the post and a tip of the cap to their courage.

Bets on us getting ‘work from home because of org changes’ email today?

Don't do middlemangers repeating what is said incorrectly

Lpl was only able to retain 83% of Commonwealth advisors and their stock took a big hit.
When are they going to realize they can't sustain this growth.
Clientworks doesn't work most days. Clients can't login to AV.
Even the phones systems shut down.

Get ready for more layoffs to offset their failure.

Lots posted on ComcastNow.

So.... y'all told us about 8 weeks ago that the Compliance org cuts needed further review and we were told back then that in 6 weeks we would be hearing about the layoff decisions for our org. So.... dead silence, no updates, no communication. Anyone over here heard any updates from leadership yet? Any new timeline? We all know it's coming.... pretty cruel to keep us waiting to find out if we have a job or not. Especially practically right before the holidays now. And some of us noticed how the HR doc used to say if you made it to Oct 1 and then were laid off, you were entitled to your annual bonus. But the links on Workday that were sent with the assessment reminders clearly said if you are no longer employed on the date the bonus is distributed, you are ineligible to get it.... Would be nice to know what is happening to us in this org....

Can you hear me now?

We hasn’t evacuated families from the Middle East even though the U.S. government has and our competitors have. Oh yeah and then there is this. The executives are cancelling their trips due to safety concerns. Nothing to see here. Keep working peasants. Is executives will stay safely at home. U.S. executives don’t get paid enough to take such a risk!

Can the rest of us relax?

Just to know what to expect (email, 1:1, whatever)

LOL, "double-speak" at its best
