Thread regarding Cigna layoffs

so called innovation hub

it's not all roses here in India either. People were recently laid off at HIH. It's no longer about bringing jobs here; it's about cutting costs and getting double the work out of fewer people. I can understand people complaining after working somewhere for 6 or 10 years, but HIH is fairly new ~3 years old at most and they have already laid off close to 100 FTEs, not to mention the people on PIP who are next in line.

Regarding the lifestyle and salary, a handful of people are getting great pay if they are in the good books or the inner circle of a manager, but for everyone else, it's the same underpaid corporate sh*t. Plus, the constantly changing leadership and their shifting visions make it incredibly difficult to get work done.

There is also a lot of politics at HIH in every department regarding workload and who is doing what plus special mention of our special HR team here. They could have built a balanced culture from the start, but instead it's a mess now

HIH appears to have a highly toxic workplace culture. Managers often seem to expect personal loyalty from employees rather than focusing solely on professional performance. Employees who do not meet these expectations may face questionable escalations or what appear to be unfounded complaints.

Workplace gossip and office politics also seem to be widespread, creating an environment of mistrust among colleagues. Additionally, there appear to be frequent workplace relationships, including short-term, casual arrangements, which can contribute to blurred professional boundaries.

Some managers also reportedly engage in excessive flirting, raising concerns about professionalism and appropriate workplace conduct.

Cigna needs someone with an actual vision for growth. Cutting expenses to hit Wall Street targets is a temporary game but it's the only strategy they have.

We, Americans, want to know five measures of success from HIH for Cigna. Why can't we find the information anywhere? The name innovation needs to be addressed. We need justifications.

A lot of innovation is happening. Project Dee will be widely regarded as one of the most successful launches that has been implemented in years.

Very excited to see it roll out in November.

@as

That's fine. Let's bring some in who aren't mind-numbingly arrogant, using fraudulent means to prop up friends and family, and producing very little usable work output.

Philippines, Brazil, Poland, you name it. All easier to work with and more productive than the Indians.

Absolutely true. People here fail to understand that if it's not India, it will be somewhere else. The leadership only sees the expense while the people celebrate as if it were a competition US vs India. Cigna will relocate from India as well if they see significant cost reductions.

I never would assume it’s cushy. While India offers more worker protections on paper, in practice it’s dismal. The people in HIH are making about a fifth of what workers in the US make.

I don’t hold it against the people in India, the Philippines, or anywhere else leadership decides to move jobs. No matter where we live, we’re all looking to eat and live at least tolerable lives. If we American workers must get racist about it all, we should focus in on the majority white leadership who have no respect for the labor of all their workers.

Well, someone shared the issue in the HIH and the US, but your arrogant mini brain does not understand. Please take care and get well soon. I hope you find a new job soon if you were affected by this layoff.

agreed. do not care about HIH nor do we believe anything being said. there are no HIH layoffs - they make pennies on the dollar it’s a known thing.

Nobody in the US cares about the HIH or its employees. We hope it closes down.
