Roles

Just out of curiosity, with the whole title change and whatnot.

Saying that our titles are a reflection on what we are and what we do, personally going from SSR to mow.

For the sales reps, aside from writing orders, taking DMI photos, and on occasion actually selling in additional displays when managers actually allow the extra space.

What is the difference between an SSR and a sales rep?


People getting promotions these days

Just saw on LinkedIn that people are getting promoted to Associate Director without having a single person report to them.
I know this person, and let’s just say “brilliant” wouldn’t be the first word that comes to mind. He has been moving teams and now in marketing.

Associate Director is a title that should have been abolished by now. But apparently, we’re calling this a “transformation.”


Georgia Layoff Data Shows Slight Increase

Georgia experienced a slight increase in layoffs and discharges in 2025 compared to the previous year. The total number of layoffs and discharges in 2025 reached 616,000. Monthly layoff rates in Georgia during 2025 fluctuated between 0.8% and 1.3%. The average monthly layoff rate in Georgia for 2025 was lower than the national average. This data reflects overall employment termination trends within the state.

WTF Is Going On in Payment Integrity?!

Has anyone heard anything about possible job-title changes within Payment Integrity? I’ve heard there may be an effort to consolidate or standardize multiple roles under fewer job titles, which could potentially result in compensation adjustments, some employees may receive increases, while others could see reductions.
There also appear to be employees who accepted the VSP but are now choosing to leave before their assigned separation dates, even though leaving early may mean giving up their VSP payout. That raises additional concerns about morale and what may be happening behind the scenes.
Has anyone received more concrete information about the title changes, which positions may be affected, the anticipated timeline, or how current employees pay would be handled?


SMM/OOM’s new job title

SMM/OOM combos in the smaller and lower mid volume stores will have a new job title come Sunday 🫣😬 called an OSM an actual combo title instead of them just being SMM’s with OOM responsibilities was announced today 😅


Which matters more to you?

I'm job hunting right now and what I'm finding is that some roles pay well but have mediocre titles while others have great titles but the salary is significantly lower. I wonder what matters more to the people here. The actual money in your pocket, or the title on your LinkedIn? Not that I'm getting any offers yet, but I'm just curious.


Bosses who shouldn't have those titles

Why does CVS and it's affiliates allow bullies to be in leadership roles? My boss is demoralizing, hostile, and downright mean. This boss has their few favorites and if you aren't part of their group, then you are treated like a low-life. This boss should never have been given a role where they have direct reports. For those of you going through something similar, hang in there! Finally, people have listened and this boss won't be needing their exit countdown any longer!!!!!


Title changes on Workday/Teams

What's the deal with title changes on Workday/Teams? Used to be a 'Lead Systems Analyst' and now a IT Systems Specialist which sounds like a downgrade.... noticed other folks had different titles as well. When did this happen and why the change?


How’s your department doing right now? Here’s what I see in “Marketing.”

The marketing function has become a factory for titles, acronyms, and unaccountable “strategy” that fails the only test that matters: measurable impact on claims, utilization, and outcomes. Too much work is optimized for decks, meetings, and vanity metrics—and not nearly enough is grounded in basic insurance fluency, network reality, or results you can defend in the data.

The org is so aggressively matrixed that responsibility evaporates. People “own” a narrow slice of a slice of a business, yet can’t clearly explain what they own, what the product actually is, what the acronyms mean, or how members are supposed to find in-network care. When ownership is that diluted, execution becomes guesswork and accountability becomes optional.

Meanwhile, member outreach is a chaotic pile-on. Digital sends emails. Marketing sends emails. MDLIVE sends emails. Express Scripts sends emails. There’s no single orchestrator, no shared plan, and no one accountable for the member experience end-to-end—just overlapping blasts and conflicting messages. Cigna doesn’t have a marketing organization; it has a fragmented broadcast system optimized for internal theater, not results.


Background check

So I am going thru a background check and am wondering what information is shared on things like ADP employment information to my new employer, the work number, etc. Will it show every job title I had at XOM? I omitted one lame role I had and replaced it with the previous role I had (2 years).

I know VOE only shows last job title held and start/end date, but will XOM share every job title I had on my background check? Thanks in advance!


EEs INTENTIONALLY MISCLASSIFIED NOW CAN YOU EE’s HANDLE IT? Experience any job Title changes, Loopholes, and the Misclassification Trap

With the new mandate raising the salary threshold, many companies are quietly rebranding jobs to dodge overtime rules. Titles like “analyst,” “specialist,” or “associate manager” are being handed out without changing the actual work. It’s a loophole: the company narrative makes it look like you’re exempt, while your day-to-day duties tell a different story.

The law is clear, titles don’t matter. What matters is what you actually do. If your role is routine, closely supervised, or production-based, you’re likely non-exempt no matter what’s printed on your badge. But the timing of sudden title changes around this mandate is a red flag: it may be an attempt to fit workers into exemption boxes that don’t really apply.

For employees, this isn’t just semantics. Misclassification means unpaid overtime, longer weeks for flat pay, and missed income you’ve already earned. If your “promotion” didn’t come with real authority, like hiring, firing, or decision-making power you may have just been reclassified on paper.

Keep an eye on how your job was described before the rule change, what your duties actually are, and whether the company is leaning on titles as a shield. Misclassification isn’t an accident; it’s a tactic. And it’s one that costs workers the most.

Class action anyone ?? Long overdue!


Lead on my team doesn’t do any work

Need peoples opinion on this. Some background I joined this team about a year ago as an analyst. I noticed some things off for example this persons yapping in meetings saying they’re gonna finish a project on a certain date but then deliver it late consistently. Also noticed some brown nosing.

This person was offline on slack too quite often. Fast forward the manager offloaded their high visibility projects to me.

Now here’s where I have resentment. This persons work is not visible and I don’t believe he does any work at all. What baffles me is the manager allows it. Other people on our team pull their weight but not this person.This has been going on for a year. How could this be? Why would a manager allow this to happen it’s quite obvious he barely does any work.

Any thoughts?
