I wanted to see if it is me or if HCSC is really that disorganized in getting these two items taken care of for those of us that have been recently RIF'd. I am a REMOTE worker who was RIF'd back on 9/24/2025. I was curious if there are others... — read more

…what a colossal failure he is as a leader?

Received workday tasks this morning. Self evaluation (which feels weirdly early) and another about updating your veteran/disability status? Maybe I’m freaking out for no reason but is this a sign of anything

I’ve noticed some people seem to have a lot of flexibility like taking walks, longer lunch breaks to go to the gym, playing pool, or spending time on their phones. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, it’s great they have that balance but I’m just... — read more 

Who is coming with me?

Is BCBS is actively working with a consulting company that assisted with the previous round of layoffs? If so who?

I just spoke with DAS. Back in June 2022 it looks like they uploaded Maurice to the cloud. This explains the robotic answers, the bad writing and his inability to read. It also explains any future attempts to automate your work and work we so that... — read more 

Is WFS even taking the time to read people's requests for accommodations? They are denying people with no explanation. How many cases are being sent straight to the trash can?

Oh boy oh boy! The band of butt clients will be there for Maurice’s town hall. I can hardly wait for his expressive reading of his slide deck and spinning his excellent work at saving the company with layoffs!

With the org chart still being offline & a combo with my boss in my 1:1 where they said "don't be surprised if we see more impacting our department"

For the last couple of weeks there has been at least one armed security guard in the lobby in the Chicago building. He’s tall and wears regular clothes with a black jacket zipped halfway but if you pay attention you can see the outline of a we-pon on... — read more 

I’ve been trying for months, just to be on the safe side since I expected layoffs to happen. I thought job hunting would at least give me some peace of mind, but it’s done the opposite - I’ve started to panic. It’s so bad out there that I’m now even... — read more 

I’ve been ringing the bell on this for over a year—both here and in person. The writing’s been on the wall, layoffs were always coming this year. The PTO change was the clear warning sign. I got out earlier this year and stopped even checking this... — read more 

Have you all that were recently let go started applying elsewhere already or are you waiting?

I know some people lurk here who have left HCSC. If you put in 2 weeks notice, do they usually just let you go?

Now that (hopefully) the emotions have started to settle after the layoffs at HCSC, maybe we can pivot the energy to something carthartic? Let’s crowdsource ideas for harmless, policy-accurate compliance. The kind of thing you can do at any company... — read more
