Didn't take long to figure out RTO was a losing mandate. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5412153-remote-work-reversals-state-government/amp/
What are you cutting from your personal budget to make for the expenses of RTO?
I estimate that commuting three times a week is costing me approximately an extra $50 weekly, or $200 monthly. To make up for my increased expenses, I'm thinking about cutting back on some/all of the following: Christmas gifts for the family ... — read more
Staff VPs and RTO issues
I work at a PulsePoint location that lacks sufficient facilities, particularly meeting rooms. All Staff VPs have their own private offices with doors, yet the few small meeting rooms (designed for 1–2 people) are reserved exclusively for them. With... — read more
RTO impact on people leaders and their direct reports
My manager is now spending several work hours each week driving to and from an office where none of their direct reports or other immediate team members are located. What a significant impact on people leaders’ ability to be available to and... — read more
Stock at 287???
I remember, not too long ago, it was well over 500.
Watching how Elevance reacts is frustrating
They ignore market trends when it comes to pay but jump at the chance to follow every layoff headline. Leadership seems more focused on matching the worst behavior in the industry than setting any kind of positive standard. It’s reactive and... — read more
Is she on her way out?
Hearing that board extremely unhappy with her.. called her uninspiring and thus to prove a point she is purchasing large sum of ELV stocks. Guess that she may be out after next quarter resulted.
Are there any RIFs scheduled for this week?
If anyone is in the know please do share.
Sophie Clark leaves
How long did this "Survivor" last at our company? Seems like she was just brought on, and at 36 years old, made president, and she still left.
Don’t invest yourself in this company
The only time I put in extra effort is for clients. Everything else? I couldn’t care less, especially not about the manager, the toxic team dynamics, or the unrealistic performance expectations. None of us have a future here, and I won’t have regrets... — read more
At least she believes she's doing a good job, I guess
Gail Boudreaux Bought 6.0% More Shares In Elevance Health https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/healthcare/nyse-elv/elevance-health/news/gail-boudreaux-bought-60-more-shares-in-elevance-health
Gail is NOT a coach or leader
Gail is the worst CEO we have ever had. She does NOTHING to coach, motivate or inspire the team which, given her sports background, is a huge disappointment. I was so happy when she was appointed, thinking her coaching background and being a... — read more
Please cut AIP/bonus and salaries of the C suite instead of us worker bees
On the town hall yesterday they implied they were going to have to cut AIP again this year just like they did last year leaving all of us worker bees with hardly any bonus and many many riffs. How do they think all this work is going to get done if... — read more
Earnings Call - Haytaian
Wow - what an embarrassment. This guy uses more "uhs" and "ums" than a 5th grader. How does the Board allow a "C" player like this even close to an SLT position? This guy can't even fake that he has a modicum of presence, knowledge, or wisdom.
It’s all smoke and mirrors
It’s the same cr-p with a different spin for years. We are under performing wow big surprise. AIP is going to be recalibrated…. forget AIP. It’s all bullsh-t. The SLT and board executives (and their “consultants” which there are hundreds of) are... — read more
The next round of layoffs will come after RTO
Once they see how many people quit because they couldn’t or wouldn’t comply with RTO, they’ll decide how many more to cut. But don’t despair - we’ve had rolling layoffs for a while now. It’s usually one person or a small group here and there, just... — read more
Survey results show no satisfaction rate?
I forgot what the survey was like. So it was not supposed to generate any % satisfaction? All comment based? Or they are just hiding it?
AIP
Did you catch that? Don’t kid yourself, they’re not changing it in your favor.
My god - GB's monologues are downright embarrassing
It's obvious she's reading this garbage from a teleprompter for the first time. You can infer how much she cares about employees by how much she prepares for these things. It's 5 MINUTES of direct facetime PER QUARTER, and you get the bare minimum.
$304
Stock price down 36% under MK, and up only 29% since GB took over in Nov 2017. I’d ask if the Board is upset with SLT, but I know it’s stacked with SLT buddies. Clearly, SLT direction, strategy, and priorities (AI, health of humanity, DEI, Food as... — read more
No more Layoff news on a Layoff site
While I understand the frustrations of people working here and the need to vent, there is just a lot of the same things that are conveyed here about RTO, how horrible the company is, etc. I’m looking for layoff news - seems like that has gotten lost... — read more
Post it where they can see it
Everyone needs to post a review about how we do not want to return to office on Glassdoor and how hard it is for us/how little connection there is. They read the reviews, maybe they will eventually listen that it isn't working for us?
Every person in a leadership position should read this
From a LinkedIn post by Ryan Yockey - "Culture is how your team feels on Sunday night. No perk or poster can fix that. Because culture isn’t a memo. It’s how people feel when the work isn’t exciting… When feedback isn’t honest… When they show up... — read more
2 directors suddenly out until Friday?
So 2 directors in my area. Mine and another are out. Typically they notify us but this time just our with brief out of office notice. Just curious
Does anybody know who decides who gets laid off?
Some of the choices lately have been downright bizarre. I'm just wondering if my manager has any say in it, or if it's all coming from much higher up.
Any updates for the CA elevance behavioral health staff?
We’re anticipating layoffs due to losing major CA Medicaid contracts. Any insight there as to why we’re losing so much and if we’ll get cut too?
At this point I’ve stopped going the extra mile
Doesn’t matter what you did yesterday, they’ll turn on you the second it suits them. The worst part is it’s not offshore teams causing the mess, it’s the folks right next to you. All the blame rolls downhill while they collect their rewards. Not... — read more
After working here, I'll never work for another corporation again!
This company is evil and dis-honest! It is the poster child for all that is wrong with America and what's wrong with our society. Society would be better off without it.
Going in three days this week or choosing/trying to leave?
Just curious how many will report in three days every week now (Directors and above), how many are planning to leave/retire and how many are just going to continue to work remote and tell them to go sc--w themselves? I already know of three hard... — read more
Depression and soul su-king Elevance
Depression around here is rampant. I hate signing on anymore. Carelon is draining any will I have left in CCA. The ask from leadership is compounding so heavily everyday there is no way to succeed. We have prehistoric tech, a strained workforce..one... — read more
H1bs
I think we will all be kicked out eventually. This Org will squeeze us dry for a few peanuts we get. Forget the salary hikes and get used to hate all around you.
I really hate my job here
And now the job market is a horror show. Worm bodies just keep piling up. Hundreds of applicants for every decent opening. I’d even take a pay cut, but the pickings are slim. I can’t stand feeling so cornered and stuck.
Why offshore????
Why this company offshoring everything to the Philippines and India. What a disaster and disgrace to the people in the states that are getting replaced for some pocket change.
Revised Hybrid Workplace Experience Policy

Here’s a thought..
Hey HR and SLT, if you need heads to RIF, start looking at people who have unlimited PTO. Start tracking it because it’s obvious these people’s responsibilities are not needed when they’re out on vacation ALL THE TIME. I have never seen such abuse of... — read more
Loyalty doesn't pay the bills
At the end of the day, it's all about the money, and they’ve made it clear we're all nothing but a number. So when that overtime call comes, remember: they won’t hesitate to replace you before your chair’s even cold. Your family and your time is... — read more
$474/share
That was share price when new CFO came onboard in August 2023. Share price down 28% since then. How’s all that Spark/AI push and smirking over STI/LTI working out for ya, pal? Accountability? Nahhhhhhh………
Layoffs
Are we going to see layoffs this week?
