Any rumors where they would shift the headquarters of the two companies.

Oh I'm sure regarding the Indian culture.
It's not the only company either.
Friend at Optum sit for hours on calls listening to a foreign language talking about cloud migrations, doesn't understand a thing.
There are people that would and should come back. The core Aetna business only has so many competitors.
@hw that “golden age” was Aetna locking down greybeards for the early mark B merger adventures like Humana and later knowledge retention bonuses. The retention bonuses for deep knowledge of Aetna systems between 2017-2020 was definitely a golden age. But those people are not coming back. Things have changed too much and they have all moved on. If you need proof, look at where those that are still working age sit at our competitors, regulatory agencies, networks, and specialized consultancies…
Despite popular deflective claims here, DDAT is not full of legacy Aetna bloat. DDAT models are completely foreign to legacy Aetna. Outside of a few Silos (AR for one), DDAT is an Indian consultancy power-creep model.
@hg
There were Aetna people let go when BK was here, prior to SN
I wouldn't be surprised if ghosts resurface and come out of forced retirement, and some people below are asked back while some folks above are let go.
There was a golden age around 2014 to 2020.
@cy that agreement likely is moot with the new split
The announcement kind of confirms the idea that Hartford is the future for the insurance side with tons of workplace restacking occurring and Aetna business specific hiring. Last time I was there, nobody was located where they had been over the last several years, and there was fresh paint and cubicles where all of the 1990’s era cubes / offices and decor had previously existed.
I’m guessing that JDJ runs this until the official split (or sometime right after), the PS gets CEO at the new retail / health 100 company. I’m not certain who gets the future Aetna/Caremark biz. But I’m guessing that SN retires and KG becomes Aetna president (MS or one of SN’s Humana hires gets her current job ) with an undetermined CEO above her. (Maybe Sree)
Aetna will probably lease offices to cvs. Much like the government leases senators rentals to government entities. the “club” we ain’t in…
cvs just put a lot of money into Hartford. Doubt it's getting rid of it any time soon.
The Aetna agreement expires second half of 2028..my guess is they will maybe keep cvs pharmacy hq on ri. CVS health hq is anyone’s guess but probably try to use leverage to get benefits from ct to keep Aetna there.
Clearly Aetna should be stand alone again. Aetna is legally residing in CT until 2028 per the acquisition.
@OP
Hope so....
