@k2 my team, I can’t say what department as it will out me, I have 3 stakeholders who report up to 3 different managing directors. I have to change one report into 3 separate reports to make it tasteful to each manager knowing full well they know that changing the report makes things look infinitely better than the reality. This is the stuff that reaches the top. And they fire people like me and replace then with more yes man.
@jv soooo much incompetence and nepotism. The entire company is held together by a preschool glue stick. And let’s assume the new CEO is competent to lead, if he doesn’t address the hidden leadership problems, whatever he wants to do or plans to do are destined to fall. The amount of complete and utter incompetence I’ve seen in the last 10 years has been truly astounding.
This whole AI and Globalization dream depends on good data and operations. And leadership are a bunch of yes man who hide, and actually CHANGE reports going up the chain so it looks good. The board has no idea that this company is becoming increasingly a house of cards and one sneeze is going to blow it all down.
@b9 how bad of a job as mgr or CEO to have so many people wanting let go?? Sad 😢
@a3 please AI or offshore me out of this he-l
@b9 yes please
My whole team wants laid off. The management is the worst I’ve ever seen.
Me
I do not. I love my job and my team.
This is my second time with Cigna. I was contract between 2020 to 2021 and FTE from 2021 to the 2022 layoffs. I was rehired as a contractor in 2024 and converted again in 2026. I have had a career spanning almost 30 years and have been laid off or have had my contract ended over 20 times during that period. I've learned many things over that period.
No one is safe. It doesn't matter if yoiferu've the SME in your team. It doesn't matter if letting you go severely impacts your team. Sometimes it's personal, meaning that a group that has been working together over a long period of time will protect each other and find new positions within the company well before everyone else is even aware that job eliminations are happening.
No one should EVER assume you are safe. You should aways have an updated resume, a portfolio of work and a plan in place just in case a recession is happening. Make a plan to upgrade your skills if it's needed via unemployment services. Gather the documents you need to prove you need an upgrade. That will keep you in unemployment benefits well past when they lapse and will frequently pay for your tuition and school expenses. I rode out the 2008 great recession that way.
Do not count on receiving severance. Out of 20+ positions, Cigna is the only job I have ever had that paid out more than 6 weeks. Most do a month or nothing. Immediately file for unemployment and fight it if you're denied. Many states will find for you if you have to appeal. I know this because I've lived in multiple states and had to file multiple appeals. I've never lost one. In many states you can collect unemployment benefits and severance, even if you voluntarily took a retirement package. Fighting costs you nothing but some time and a bit of effort.
@ap a lot of people want laid off I do
I want to get laid and I want to get off, but I don't want to get laid off.
@be I did.
You should volunteer and tell your boss. Then people who want to keep their job have a better chance
@b4 *"AI us out of here"
I would love to be job eliminated or offered vrp. Many low band employees were not offered vrp when other employees were. I guess they need us worker bees until they can AI is out of here.
I wouldn’t mind
I would prefer to have a non toxic environment. But if I had to be laid off I would rather they just do it instead of the constant looming threat.
Are you serious ? What kind of id--tic question is this?
Me me!!
I don’t
I want to get laid off in the early 2027 wave, but at the same time I’m scared they will greatly reduce their severance policy in anticipation of the big layoff numbers. So, I’m conflicted…
Either way I’m applying and hoping to get another job before anything happens here…
