Workday access

My last day was 9/4. On 9/5 I got an email to change my workday info. I did. Last week I could log in just fine. now I’m completely locked out and I need a copy of my last pay. I’ve been on hold for an HR rep for 57 minutes now.
Is there an easier way to access our information???
Please save the smart a-s replies.
Thank you 😌


I don't know what we all did wrong to make the executives hate us so much.

When is the next lockout? As company profits and executive compensation soars the workers just keep getting squeezed

In case you suspect you may be impacted...

Don't wait to backup what you need from your laptop. Do it now.
Whether it's an email notification, a late breaking 15 min 1:1 appointment, or a candy gram... your laptop will lock-up within 60 secs of getting off that nasty zoom call.
Grab a thumb drive now and get key items you need backed up right away.
The alternative is worse. Ask me how I know.


Does Cigna cut you off immediately upon giving two weeks notice?

Some companies don't keep any employees for longer than a day or two once they've put in their two weeks notice. Other companies only immediately cut you off if you have certain types of data access, security clearance etc.

What does Cigna typically do? Particularly for onshore Band 4 employees in IT.


This is what you’ll see on 1/28.

From an internal board: What you’ll find out on 1/28

You wake up at 10:00 a.m. for your 10:00 standup. You open your laptop, planning to tell the team you have no updates. You try to log into your Mac. It doesn’t work.

Panic sets in. Oh no—I'm going to miss standup. My manager is going to ki-l me.

You grab your phone to message the team on Slack. Slack won’t open. You’ve been logged out. Now you’re really freaking out. What is happening?!

You start trying to remember every paging alias. Okay, I’ll just page everyone.
You send paging emails from your personal email.

There’s a typo in one alias. You accidentally page Andy Jassy.

Andy Jassy’s executive assistant gets the page. She looks at her pager and sees your name. Who the he-l is this?
Then another page comes in.
Then another.
And another.

Her phone won’t stop ringing. It’s completely unusable.

She jumps out of bed and wakes Andy.
“Hey Andy.”

Andy rubs his eyes. “No. Hey.”

“Sorry Andy,” she says. “My phone went totally bananas. Everyone is paging you.”

Andy snaps back, “Too many bananas. So we asked ourselves: what’s the best way to get rid of bananas? That’s why we eliminated bananas. If you think about it, it’s just layoffs. Bananas go nuts.”

Then he rolls over and falls back into a deep sleep.

That’s what you’ll see on 1/28.

Brace yourself.
