@1dv I feel like this is an incredibly common theme. Either the same person is commenting all the time or it’s a wide spread issue.
@yc i'm a middle manager and the writing is on the wall and my new "leaders" have no freaking clue what I do or how to deliver. The id--t that they hired to work above me is claiming my work. He's purposely keeping me from any type of visibility with upper leadership. If I say something i'm wrong. But if I don't say something, I lose a twenty five year career. Horrible position to be in.
All my tenure and all my good work down the tubes. Meanwhile, we help people in other areas who do nothing. I mean, leaders on down doing nothing. Not available on teams, canceling meetings at the last minute because they don't feel like it. DPA idle time ridiculously high, and they do nothing with their people. Yeah, I work my tail off, and they will probably stay. Meanwhile, the nepo baby they put in the position above me.... Incompetent. He goes to my team to get the work done that has any kind of visibility, calling it a stretch assignment because he is less threatened by my staff. It's ridiculous at this point. I i love the work I do. But this new change in leadership is terrible. All they care about is results. They claim they would do nothing. That wasn't ethical, but yet s*** on people who work very hard and get the job done is very unethical. Make it make sense
@12t and is 5x more expensive to build and maintain than you might think. AI is a long term financial toilet for Cigna.
@zz and that AI shet doesn’t work.
@q8 I think insecure middle management need to go. They are just keeping the seat warm and limiting their staff from advancing. It’s lovely when my work becomes a “we” project where my contribution gets completely devalued.
I would quit in a heartbeat but the market is terrible. And they know it. So they continue to cr-p all over us until they replace us with AI.
@yy problem is there are managers and executives that really think like this
To the manager with comment, "Not while we still have US based Advisors to let go": we are thankful for your honesty and hope US media and politicians use similar comments as yours to protect American citizens, their jobs and lives.
Since when HR is transparent or confident enough to respond to such questions? If they can do anything to protect the company, let's start with eliminating bias towards Indians and invest on the right talents....
@yc you have zero ability to sense humor and sarcasm.
@yb obviously your superior would be the one JE. You’d have no choice in the matter like all of us. Other companies are laying off middle managers. You’re not as safe as you think.
@q8 you think we're going to JE ourselves? ha. Good luck with that. Not while we still have US based Advisors to let go.
@hm I think middle level leaders (e.g., SVPs, VPs, Directors, Associate Directors, Managers) are next.
I heard rumor today that 10/15 is a layoff date but who knows for sure... IT could be on the chopping block again ... get your resume updated! No one is really safe at this point even if you think you are
@gk To all you super intelligent, high IQ, individuals, try to think of clever ways to get class action lawsuits created that have a high percentage of success. But if you can afford, try not to settle, but rather try to ensure things go before the American people, in full light.
@gd that’s a pay week though. You’re saying layoffs are on 10/15 and not 10/8?
10/15. And it won’t be pretty.
My boss heard rumors about today, but haven't seen or heard anything yet.
Check with HR
