Why is the response from HR and the team for people to buy a new phone, instead of just giving them a yubikey? I was in one of those training sessions, and lots of people are having issues to the point they've extended the deadlines. They gave... — read more 

Get the popcorn ready.

It seems like it is difficult to terminate to mod level managers, Senior mgrd or directors. Does HR look at how much turnover there is under a manager? We currently have managers with one or two reports. Why even keep them here for that?

Should we expect any more layoffs this year?

If an employee is leaving HCSC for a direct competitor, would management just have them leave the same day they inform their manager, even if the employee gives 2 weeks notice?

Given that some other companies are doing "voluntary" buyouts for employees, how likely would it be done at HCSC, but not just for managers/directors like the 2025 RIFs?

I'm hearing comments about PIP's and people feeling that they are being pushed out by HR over whatever the newest performance metrics are this month

This dude saying our benefits are competitive- what a joke.

Does anyone know if HCSC pays severance to an employee that gets fired (and not laid off, made redundant, etc.)?

I have multiple people across my teams that if are not renewed or converted will bring us to a screaming halt at Healthspring. They were hired on a contract-to-hire basis and I have only had 1 have it fully converted as promised. As a manager I am... — read more 

Pitting HealthSpring against blue employees seems to be the new strategy. It may not have hit you yet but it’s coming.

How many thousands of members will we gain or lose this AEP? My assumption is we lose 500,000 overall. The Cigna states and Blue states membership will fall. What’s your guess?

Lots of confidential meetings going on about job roles and productivity. Does HCSC conduct layoffs over the holidays! It was a No no on the Cigna side. It’s been way to quite.

Seriously. Sending emails after 9pm on a Saturday night about phone updates is ridiculous. Get a damn life.

How did you all like your "awesome " customer service card from Flavia Flave?! Guess there will be flowers at the landfill

And now you know why the Blue Pulse survey was done before the open enrollment materials were released.

Rumor has it HCSC is going to push the Health Spring brand nationally and ditch the blue association. Thinking people trust HCSC over the cross and shield.

Why has it been so quiet??? Any updates on Medicare layoff and voluntary severance?

To pucker up and kiss the City of Dallas' butt!! Who thought only offering them an HMO policy was the way to go after they've only had a BVA policy? Oh, someone who has NEVER had to take calls from entitled members who want everything handed to... — read more 

Very odd that nothing has come out from corporate comms on this. But no one wants the govt up their butt- especially with the Medicare and Medicaid business being the special project of Big M.

​If full remote isn't on the table, a 2-day in-office cap is the only fair compromise. We should follow the Barclays workforce and stand our ground for sensible flexibility! Equal flexibility should be a company-wide standard, not a privilege... — read more 

Anyone taking bets on our Medicare enrollment performance this year for the Annual Enrollment Period?

Today marks the one year anniversary date for those laid-off on 9/24/2025. It was a shocking day! It brought out the reality that HCSC along with manny employers have no respect or appreciation for its employees as a corporation. It confirmed the... — read more 

Why are we still dragging ourselves in three days a week when nearly 80% of the workforce is fully remote anyway? Make it make sense. Moving it to 2 days would literally fix half the morale issues in one swing. Easy! ​And can Chicago offices please... — read more 

Is our leadership aware that we offer Toastmasters? Or continuing education? My blue university??? Their speaking skills are appalling.

This is nothing more than a dollar tree motivational speech. And how about we fix out technology so we don’t constantly lose connection?

Per Modetn Heslthcare- HCSC is cutting the Medicare advantage footprint in half already. Why have we not been told this?

Are external applicants ever seriously considered for roles? And is HCSC even hiring right now or are the job postings all fake? Mixes messages as our department says there is a hiring freeze yet new jobs are posted daily.

We would like to hear why you love this slogan. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
