Topics regarding layoffs at HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation)

Some getting promoted

Anyone else seeing the repeating pattern? We cannot backfill. We are told hiring is frozen but we see that it isn’t, because some people are being promoted who have no business doing so. Some people have busted a gut on major projects that succeeded... — read more 

We always end up with more work and less appreciation

Every reorg means fewer people doing more, while more higher-ups show up just to bark orders. Every single time - no exception. It’s been a steady downhill slide for years, and somehow they still act surprised when morale hits rock bottom.

Top Heavy

I do not understand the value of some roles in IT like PLTLs and ESLs. They just pretend to manage a bunch of managers on their own and provide no real value besides throwing their weight around. Seems like, every time there is a reorg, they create... — read more 

New Mexico and Texas disasters

We have had two recent major disasters both in Texas and in New Mexico, and the company is completely silent about this. We have become absolutely heartless greedy monsters.

HealthSpring

And there you go… your national ‘rebranding’ of the Cigna people and products.

New brand

Well that was anticlimactic. The new brand launch we’ve been waiting for was just an unused trademark we picked up in the Cigna deal, with a new font and some hilarious stock photography.

Where is HR?

as a long-term employee, I have seen many different versions of our human resources department. However the rumors and announcements surrounding layoffs are not even being addressed. I as well as others have had water cooler talk and the consensus is... — read more 

Cigna Integration

Anyone else curious about how Cigna employees are going to integrate into HCSC? It seems very divided still… Anyone heard anything about joining/merging of departments or teams?

This was never about fixing the company.

It’s about the same cycle we’ve seen everywhere — executives show up, drain what they can, and leave the rest of us to deal with the fallout. They collect their bonuses, their parachutes, their next opportunity, while the company gets weaker, good... — read more 

HCSC environment

After nearly a decade with HCSC, I feel obligated to warn anyone considering staying here long-term. The environment has deteriorated to the point where even survivors of the layoffs are miserable. They've eliminated entire teams but didn't... — read more 

Is this correct?

Been told it's not leading to layoffs till all the contractors are gone. Can anybody confirm if this is correct or not?

Customer Service Division is at a loss

We are grieving the loss of our leader. Greg Brown is a true example of the company’s core values. We need answers! His kindness and positivity trickled down to his leadership that trickled down to employees. Hopefully this loss won’t affect the... — read more 

Culture of fear

As the new person, I noticed the silence right away. No one talks in the halls anymore. Meetings are just managers talking at us while everyone stares at their laptops. I made the mistake of suggesting a process improvement in my third week and got... — read more 

Thoughts on Reorg Announcement?

I see a pretty major reorg announcement just went out. Any thoughts? Anyone concerned this is a precursor to layoffs to come?

Time to do some reporting

I am so over the coffee badgers and people who want to do the bare minimum. Your insistence on being slackers has kept near-constant attention on this literally years after the policies were implemented. It's your fault that HR has to keep pulling... — read more 

Board Meeting

Anyone know what’s expected at the board meeting this month? I keep hearing it’s a major one, and that Maurice is out as President, and the vote is taking place this week. Also, possible approval for layoffs, or reorganization?

RTO Requirements

Through management it has been reported that all badge swipe reports will be pulled quarterly. Each employee is required to have 3 days in office. However, if you do not have an average of 2 days in the office for the past year when the report is... — read more 

Realignments for former Cigna EEs?

Has anyone heard high level if HCSC will really merge former Cigna EEs or will they continue to be handled very separately? Many teams have yet to be more fully integrated and continue to be referred to as the greens & the blues by upper leadership. — read more 

Offshoring?

Is HCSC is planning to offshore more roles, like phone CAs, in addition to the hiring freeze as well? anyone heard anything on this?

Hiring freeze

Heard today in an “official” meeting that there is a pause on hiring and corporate travel, unless required by a client. Not sure how long that has been in place, but this was announced on a quarterly call in my area. Can anyone confirm if this is... — read more 

RTO

Any locations available outside of the 5 states + Nashville? LA/ NYC, etc?

Upcoming Round of Layoffs

Does anyone have any details on the upcoming layoff? Are they targeting a certain number of people (for example, 10 percent) or is it focused on a cost savings (targeting a certain savings from eliminated salaries)?

Pension

I am new hire. I started two months ago, I heard they have a pension here. Does anyone know how it works? Is it good?

Chairman, ceo, president

So sometime recently, the ceo was named chairman. No news articles, no call out, just hush hush change...seems strange. Thoughts on why it was done and why quietly rather than with an announcement?

Hourly vs salary

Some employees have been moved from salary to hourly recently. Is there a difference in benefits/pension/bonus etc for these employees? What would be the reason for that change?

Three rumors I heard

Leadership is really pushing for full RTO. HR is clamping down on checking swipes, including coffee badging. If your department requires two swipes, i.e. Legal, then both will be monitored. There is a $40 million shortfall. Just rumors... — read more 

Lawsuits?

Any other Cigna MA employees considering suing Cigna Corp or HCSC for the deceptive about the entire deal?! We were demoted and replaced by DEI hires because HCSC was too insecure about the talent that actually leads the business they acquired. If... — read more 

FTE - Hiring freeze?

Will there be exceptions, so we can recruit? Anyone from management share insights?

July 1st rumors

Anyone in the know of what exactly is supposed to happen come July 1st? Just a reorg? Or something more? Looks like other Blues plans are rumored to have something happening come July 1st also.
