With over two and a half decades of professional experience, I find it entertaining when managers try to convince seasoned workers that their behavior is acceptable and what it takes to succeed in the workplace. The only people they are fooling are... — read more
The duality of corporate life
Terrified of being laid off but equally terrified of not being laid off. At this point, I’d take the severance and run if they offered.
Tuesday and Thursday
Be alert for RIFS, but don’t be afraid.
One person doing work of two or three after layoffs
Is this the new normal? Is this what's going to be expected going forward?
Recommendation by manager
Does anyone know if managers are not allowed by HR to give employees that they RIF’d a reference or recommendation? We are being told by (now former) direct manager that HR told them not to talk to us about anything at all and to direct us to HR and... — read more
Microsoft to cut thousands of jobs
No where seems safe in this economy. I’m going to hang on to what I have. https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/microsoft-planning-thousands-job-cuts-aimed-salespeople-bloomberg-news-reports-2025-06-18/
6/26
Any people leaders here can confirm layoffs on 6/26? Also can anyone confirm a rumor that starting 9/1, all salaried employees RTO 3 times a week. Thanks in advance.
AMZN MSFT and ELV
Amazon and Microsoft announced big cuts today. RIFs are ongoing in ELV. Though not in the same league, all of these greedy corporations are big users of each-one-bees. How is this even allowed? With Trump rocking the Apple cart with major Medicaid... — read more
The worst state of mind is feeling cornered
Many of us are neck-deep in debt. We become almost irrational at the thought of losing our jobs, especially with all the bleak economic news and a saturated job market. I guess that’s exactly where they want us - living in fear, and therefore more... — read more
I don't care about RTO
It su-ks, I agree, but my bigger issue are the layoffs that just keep coming. I'll rather RTO and still have a job than be laid off and have to look for a job in the current job market that's one of the worst I've ever seen.
Is Moonlighting the reason for RTO?
Many companies now want their employees to be in the office. Even the ones which allowed WFH pre-covid. Is moonlighting the reason? Because of some greedy people vast majority got affected. Shocking to hear people working 3-4 jobs. They not only take... — read more
RTO will probably force me to quit
Even setting aside all the other issues, the commute alone would be nearly impossible. Oh well, it's not like I ever loved this job anyway.
Health Solutions Town Hall
This is so hard to watch. Morgan seems like a dou--e!
PTO after being let go
I just got let go and I am in state that is not required to pay your PTO. I am told I can work until the end of July. I have 75 hours of PTO left, but told I cannot use any of it between now & the date I am gone. Is that legal? Shouldn’t I be... — read more
RTO
I have a friend in management who is telling me they have already told their FEP department that anyone who is salary will be required to come in 3 days a week starting 9/1. We know that Managers & above start their 3 days in July, but everyone else... — read more
People they chose to lay off make no sense
They're paying good money to push out the workers who actually know what they're doing. Short-term savings for long-term disaster. I seen this movie before - quality goes to he-l, culture suffers, the company slumps, but then the execs bail with... — read more
Felicia and WNBA All Star Game
Why is she going to be there and not a former college player in our CEO? Guess this answers the question about what she actually does to earn her salary 🤔😂
Hybrid work policy change
Changes to hybrid work policy are supposed to be coming next week. Anyone know what the changes are?
Bring it on!
I can’t stand this place anymore. Just give me my severance, and I’ll be on my way - probably the happiest I’ve been in years.
Okta
Is this to stop us from working at other places? Like cafes or idk… other states? Or is this like the old key fob days?
Isn't this hole ranked one of the top places to work!
Seedy, greedy and shady is the only way to describe this place.
Is your manager gaslighting you?

#ThisIsWhy
Oh dude you see this on Pulse. Let’s do our own version and state why Elevance su-ks!
Wow! The stock price has gone down over the past year!

Is RL still your CTO ?
From Nike here, our company was trashed before he left . How is he handling it ?
When does the CEO get added to the list?
30% down on stock price, proving incapable of digging out of the hole. Classic old school leadership rooted in toxic culture. When is the board going to wake up and force a leadership change, until they do there is no future for Elevance, Carelon... — read more

Don't waste your life with this toxic place
Everyone on this site needs to turn away and make and follow a plan to a better life. This place is harmful and does not deserve you.
Network app download
I have mixed feelings about that that authorisation app they are asking us to download; it seems invasive. Anyone else feel the same about it?
June 26, 2025 - Countdown
What is the prediction/expectation please? RIF, Reorg, or move to contractor Line of Business Number impacted Almost 25 years here and I don’t recognize this company. I haven’t for a long time.
How are we even still in business?
A company that treats its employees like garbage, barely cares about the people it's supposed to serve, and only chases the bottom line should not last. No one is too big to fail. Just ask Enron. Elevance leadership might figure that out sooner... — read more
We Are Meant for More
We’re all meant for more than this. We stress, worry, and let a job su-k our soul from us. Meanwhile, executives don’t even bat and eye. We’re not there for the members. We’re there for the shareholders. I suggest everyone start focusing and... — read more

Anthem in the Nightly News for Ghost Networks
The leadership of this company is horrible. Anthem made the Nightly News due to their "ghost networks" of Doctors.....Makes me sick.
