If major layoffs are coming, why do we have so many open positions right now?

@eb that's required for any job position in cigna. I was asked if I wanted to take a position but they still had to formally post it and I had to apply. I didn't have to submit an updated resume or interview or anything, but did have to officially apply and accept the position through workday
The truth is - Cigna must post the job posting to the American public before hiring H1B or foreign asset in that role. They will always hire the foreign asset, often times the candidate has already been selected knowing that any American applying for the role will not be considered.
I have been told point blank by a manager at Cigna that they have H1B candidate picked out even prior to posting the job listing to the American public. Illegal in all aspects. Encourage others to Document and Report this labor fraud utilizing H1bB to the US government if you come across this at Cigna.
We are investing in areas where it makes sense and wil have good ROI.
Cutting areas that are no longer value added
Pretty simple
Simple, they laid off people. Then they post the roles. The roles are intended to be filled by hih if and only if they can’t find a qualified hih person to meet the bare minimum requirements. But the roles look like they are for anyone, they are not really.
Yep, it’s just optics.
@OP how many are in India and how many are U.S. based?
@a8 that’s their goal!
@OP I haven’t been able to backfill anyone that resigned this year and other surrounding roles where people resigned, the backfill moved to the Philippines
Ghost jobs and/or trying to fill current positions at cheaper salaries.
