Very vague/confusing meeting name said (Option 3 at the end), so I'm guessing it's not good news.

I have a hard time to believe that.

I’ve heard that conversations are happening to reinstate a return to office for the entire work-week as opposed to the current 3-day requirement. Does anybody have any additional intel to confirm or deny this is on the table?

I feel like the open seating setup is not ideal due to noise, lack of routine, etc and having everybody in the office is going to make it that much more difficult to be productive. At least give us a cube so teams can sit together and you know where to find someone as opposed to walking around aimlessly.

Bottom line though - so many of us would still be on zoom sessions for most meetings so a full return to office just isn’t needed to increase productivity and relationships. Leave it where it is and allow us to be adults - if we need the face time, we go in. If not, then we don’t.

Go check it out. They are talking about us. And not in a bad way.

What in tarnations is this company doing using Rootin and tootin as a title for anything? - Yosemite Sam

What is Xerox even doing with CareAR at this point? I thought I heard rumor of an acquisition that never happened?

Has anyone from France been affected by the layoffs?

Joke that Cisco will excel based on current quarter. The bubble will come down in no time

Hi, I work almost 100% from home now. So, very little interaction with folks in the QP office.

Does any one know anyone who was let go since the big announcement? I haven’t heard of anyone getting fired or quitting in my close circle YET

What a waste already. Still no concrete details because they are still trying to figure it all out.

Wasn't able to join, but saw the slack thread and didn't see much on there about what actually happened

Synopsis: “Mark, how can I drink water like you do on CNBC?”

Do I even need to say it

Let’s guess what STI will be. I’m guessing 70%

WTF was that? Ridiculous

With the new Optum image on all Uhc emails and the active engagement of the Optum board, it’s clear that we’re aligning as one cohesive unit. It makes sense for us to follow the guidance of the Optum board moving forward? Just questions?

Let’s start this thread for further discussions, cheers

Only he could bring back the glory…

What are your predictions about the workforce in Legal, TAP, and Corporates?

Cisco doesn’t share any data on individuals or teams layoffs

Open thread.

Initial thought: Pete sounds like he has no interest in being on this call. Perhaps Gail is leaving and he's been told he's not the heir apparent.

Are those still a thing?

This is crazy. Last thread was deleted. Not sure why. there wasn't anything in it that was bad.

And I’m seeing some solid information sharing... but also simultaneous social unraveling within the same space.

Oh man, what a time to be alive.

Look at their board. Lots of people mad!

Was this scheduled already or come up last minute? Seems like there’s some sort of announcement?

Seeing posts discussing some of the orgs and rumors of how hard they are going to be hit, wondering what it's looking like for GN&T

The 3 CEOs before Gail served an average of 4 years while she has been here for double the amount of time.

Here is a history of how long the previous CEOs served at Elevance/Anthem/Wellpoint.

Gail K. Boudreaux- CEO of Anthem/Elevance since 2017 (~8 years)

Joseph R. Swedish- CEO of Anthem from 2013-2017 (4 years)

Angela F. Braly CEO of Anthem from 2007-2012 (5 years)

Larry Glasscock CEO of WellPoint from 2004-2007 (3 years)

Please share if your team has been affected.

Anyone has info on what's being planned? Any layoffs soon?

How are we feeling about the latest round of layoffs? Did you lose anyone valuable on your teams? Do we truly believe this is the last round?

so it’s almost 1year for D Amman now as the Upstream President; how has he done so far? Nailing it and ready for the CEO or all talk and no trousers

We all got pretty Dollar Tree goody bags! And a break from actually working while we sat around and talked or listened. It’s one cup shy of a coffee klatch. I keep waiting for this to be something that has some good take aways. So far, nothing of substance.

Anybody have experience working with them?

Any credible news or updates?
I mean from people that work at that location not from people who just make things up that doesn’t work at that site.
