@ca I think VRP is done not enough took it so they laid off. I was offered it 2x
@25g There’s more coming and many more people will be affected than last week
@25e what does mass layoff means? We just had one last week
There’s going to be an enterprise-wide announcement very soon from BE about a mass layoff.
This is the new normal. Expect everyone from Director and below to be replaced by AI or offshore workers in the very near term.
@1wg We lost a few in my office the other week. Now we have some big all hands meeting coming up. I'm holding out until year end to secure my bonus then I'm signing with the first company that sends me an offer.
@bz they offer to us 7/25 and 1/26 I needed insurance
Is sales expected to be hit this time?
Are they giving same severance again?
I’ve heard that we’re going to see a good round in November. The areas not touched this time, will be next.
No one is safe at any time, lessen you’re part of the inner circle of FOB - Friends of Brian. Otherwise every one of us is cannon fodder.
@kj I am terribly sorry that happened to you. But something you said in your last sentence made me want to comment, more so for others. Until it directly effects you personally, it is hard to understand why some on here have their nose bent out of shape and you may not understand why they are so adamantly against H-1B Visa program. But once you personally are let go, and not just let go, but also find out you were replaced by two or three people from India, THEN, suddenly you GET IT! And it also bothers you.
Probably not. My job literally got replaced by Indians. 3 of them. Now I know where the hate is coming from
@ae I know my team laid off several members in November 2024, but I don't recall layoffs in November 2025 (or maybe my group wasn't affected that time).
I do agree there will be one more layoff before 12/31/26 sadly.
@ce Funny considering his wife and kids are a walking H1B visa.
Cigna opened the ironically named Hyderbad Innovation Hub (when has innovation ever originated in India?) so that they can get around labor visa laws like H1B.
@cc Why leave? Why not fight it?!
Just tonight on TV a Townhall where CBS had people ask questions of Vice President Vance and for one of the questions regarding H-1B Visas, he said that he was totally opposed to corporations claiming to hire H-1B Visa personnel because they cannot find any American citizens whi can do the job. But he said when they look into it, they find out these corporations are laying off American citizens who are already doing the job, just so that they can turn around and hire a foreign worker on H-1B Visa. Which was not the purpose of the work visa program.
If you’re a US worker, you should be very worried about your job at Cigna. November will be another big round and then Feb and April 2027 will be the next 2 layoffs. If you have an Indian manager and his manager is also Indian, you can guarantee to lose your job within the next few weeks to few months. The Indians have taken over Cigna.
Please leave. This is no way to live.
My bet is that VRP offers roll out around February. The term date will likely be April/May.
@OP I feel like each week I make it through makes me breathe a sigh of relief until the beginning of the new week to start it all over again. And management just continues on as if there is nothing going on and that we should all be so f'in happy. Really? In what reality are they living in?
Anyway, does anyone think they will offer the VRP again in January / February? I don't think they've offered the VRP very often as earlier this year was the first time I was offered it.
It’s usually right before the quarterly shareholder reports.
I have no proof but historically there have been layoffs in November too. If these cuts didn't trim the bottom line for the shareholders to end Q4 26.... We can probably count on at least one more.
Jesus...what a way to live. This is really a doomed company.
