Some lost more than half of their teams. What are they supposed to do now?

All of us in-office employees have been standing around talking about this site. There are so many new users here this week, it's going to be the new employee water-cooler going forward.

I hear there's more today so: Title / org and location only.

Our team has it figured out. Since leadership wants us to collaborate face to face, we all show up around 9:30-10:00 a.m. to avoid traffic, stand around visiting for a few hours, all go out to 2 hour team lunches (the restaurants around the office... — read more 

We have fewer people to do the work, processes that are now broken due to missing critical staff, and no official knowledge of who has been let go beyond word of mouth. If we are not in a position to onboard and effectively support new members... — read more 

They need new attrition tactics to keep cutting headcount, preferably on the cheap. I’ve read that designated telecommuters won’t be forced back, but you can bet they’ll create “conditions” that push them out anyway. RTO will be designed to make... — read more 

I have several contractors that I rely on to deliver infrastructure needs, as well as developmental projects. Do I need to start planning to lose them or are they safe presumably until their contract is over?

300 layoffs. Not everybody at the same time. People that has been with the company for more than 10 years were let go just a few days before Open Enrollment. When staff in key positions are let go, it usually signals something beyond “normal... — read more 

I lost my job at the hot chicken sandwich company today. They called it a “strategic restructure.” I called it getting canned from a place that sells spicy bird meat. They pulled me into the “Cayenne Conference Room” — aka the breakroom — and told... — read more 

This is how I will get through staring at their empty desks.

At the risk of sharing too much and outing myself, I feel like it’s important for employees to know that there have been internal discussions for several weeks about preparing for a full return-to-office (RTO) with a target date of 12/01. This shift... — read more 

3 directors laid off in TX (to my knowledge.) What's the overall status, and what areas of Medicaid are to be affected? Executing layoffs during IL RFP is just a poor move.

Why was this not posted on WARN? From the Illinois WARN site: Illinois WARN applies to employers with 75 or more full-time employees (excluding part-time workers) and requires employers to provide 60 days advance notice of pending plant closures or... — read more 

Stop using company computers and connections to post on this damn page. Everyone has googled HCSC layoffs and ended up here. There is zero expectations of privacy on a company owned device. Ya might as well walk yourself out if you dont think... — read more 

Anyone else laid off in the Chicago corp office? Applied at a financial analyst job there, I don’t know what to expect.

Just so people can get the info they are searching for.

Rumors flying all day. Does anyone have information regarding EUC terms?

It'd be weird to be quiet about this. I’ve endured subtle and not-so-subtle racism in my years at HCSC. Microaggressions. Being talked over. Dismissed. Having to defend my competence, explain my presence, constantly prove myself. I got myself in... — read more 

Will someone in the know please share if a VSP is planned and what the terms would likely be? I've seen a few comments that suggest one is coming. I'm not really looking for opinions but for someone who knows to share.

There’s talk about more coming on Monday, but who knows if it’s true. If anyone has solid info, please share. It’d help to know what we’re really walking into.

Are the people that are being laid off from claims, call center, or both?

Did this impact the state plan roles?

Does anyone know if people were laid off from the NBS team? Or any potential RIF?

A reminder that hard work and loyalty never pay off.

I was told that the margins in the insurance business is getting smaller because of "Washington". that is the major reason of the rif. Thoughts and opinions? I leans towards this is not truthful. this is what the managers were told to tell the... — read more

“Hi everyone, I heard there may have been some layoffs today (09/25) at HCSC/BCBS. Can anyone confirm if staff reductions actually happened and, if so, which departments or levels were affected? Just trying to get clarity and hear from those who may... — read more 

I was let go yesterday and am pregnant, I know of two other people that are also expecting. Are there more people that were let go who are expecting babies?

So what is? Does anybody know?

If our team was already impacted, are the rest of us safe? Our manager is saying nothing.

Title / org and location only.

Light up your social burner social accounts with this information to destroy their plan. A company going public is entirely under the SEC's control. An early leak triggers serious regulatory risks related to "g-n-jumping" and the quiet period... — read more 

Hi, everyone. I will preface this post with a disclaimer: I have been struggling while working on this post off and on all day because I believe the people who came here looking for answers should get them. I have to be cautious of what I say and... — read more 

How many of the incompetent ch-des in Corporate Communications are they letting go of?

Look at the counts of views on today's posts here. Over 13,000 alone in one of them. A large percentage of the employees come here for info now, where the company can't control it. Boycott his next town hall to show him how little you care about his... — read more 

Soooo there has obviously been a huge amount of layoffs happening. Please— if you have gotten laid off today or if anyone knows of anyone that got laid off can you reply the department name? Also— does anyone know of how many people they are... — read more
