Protect yourself
Especially if you're younger and recently joined Elevance. Save up six months of expenses. Keep interviewing even though you're employed. Find a way to make money on the side. Don't let this place have all the power over your life.
Hard to keep track of the lawsuits...
Looks like Pete decided to depart for family commitments just 2 days after the DOJ wanted to depose him, I guess a golden parachute is better than an orange jumpsuit! This is not the same as the other CMS pending case for failure to comply with... — read more

Red flags I missed in the interview
I was laid off 3 months after starting here. Looking back, I missed the signs. Exploding offer, nervous recruiter, vague job description, no salary range. Learn from my mistake.
Am I alone?
Anyone else hope they get laid off at this point? Everything su-ks here!
toxic team

Resigning
2 questions related to resignation: When someone gives 2 weeks' notice, does ELV typically have them work the 2 weeks or do they let people go immediately? If ELV ends employment before the 2 weeks is up, do they pay through the notice period?

If you care at all lift the hybrid requirement right now. No one can afford gas. And the further the war goes on the more expensive it’s getting. Your people are struggling.
Transferring from ‘in office’ to remote? Partner has a job opp in a city without a pulse point
As title says, partner has a job opportunity in a city without a pulse point. Is this even possible for me to switch remote or should just start looking for a new job? I know some people were grandfathered as remote but not counting on it. I’m a L15... — read more

Layoffs
Anything new for upcoming layoffs? And what areas? Volume is down, people are being pulled to other areas to work and everyone is being micromanaged. What’s going on. It’s stressful enough here.
Unlimited paid time off.
Interviewing @Elevance... What are your thoughts on it? What are the pros and cons, and are there any hidden downsides to watch out for? It sounds almost too good to be true.

Will the last person leaving Carelon please turn off the lights?
Two weeks, two exits. Next two weeks, two more will be gone. Vest man has a retention problem.
Directors asked to List responsibilities with metrics
This feels like an Elon Musk moment. Was asked to put in four bullets what my role is with metrics supporting it? Can’t say “Oversees” or anything high level. Is Director level being hit next?
Why should we outsource everything to Carelon offshore?
We have enough intelligent people inside the organization. Cost saving? I don't think so. It usually takes much longer to get low quality work based on my experience with Indian. Now we oursource our manufacturing jobs to China and white collar jobs... — read more

You know why things are the way they are?
You ask three people the same question and get three different answers. All of them sound confident too. So it turns into a game of eeny, meeny, miny, moe to decide what to do. And if you get the wrong one, guess whose fault it is? This whole place... — read more
Reorganization Means Layoffs
Every time you get an email about a re-organization, you can expect layoffs to follow. This will continue under our current CEO. It’s a way to distract and perform for the board with dismal earnings. Some advice: understand and use AI, you are marked... — read more
CCA in Carelon Insights (PI) is a trash dump
This is the worst area to work in. The Directors are incompetent, treat their managers and direct reports with total disrespect under JS. Some of the Directors talk behind their direct reports back to other departments, accuse them falsely and are... — read more
Thoughts on Redeployment Partner
Do they really help?
Unlimited PTO
What do you guys think about it? Pros and Cons? Gotchas? Sounds too good to be true.
Q 4 Managers: what direct report number are you being told is the new minimum??
Hearing 15-18 for managers and 7-9 for directors. Is that real across orgs or only in certain lines?
1:1 with manager
I usually have my 1:1 every other Wednesday. My manager schedule 1:1 for tomorrow. Should I be concerned?
Hard work doesn't pay off
Don't ever forget it. You're more likely to get laid off if you're skilled, experienced, and outperform than if you're an average slacker who's just good at office politics. The better you are, the higher the chance you're deemed too expensive for a... — read more

Stop being shamed from the Layoffs
If we all banded together and we could see the names, sees and ages you better believe there is clear evidence of racism in these layoffs.
