For 2025, we got 2 wellness days just like 2024. I suggest you all use them all first instead of using PTO. You never know you get let go and end up losing free 2 days off. Let burden fall on your manager's shoulder while you're gone.

Hoping our Woodland Hills associates are safe and OK. Crazy that there hasn’t been any communication from the company - the office is just north of the Palisades fire!

For those who have been through a RIF, were there any warning signs when you look back on it? Things like long periods of no hiring in the department, letting compliance go to the dumps, etc.? I get that there are a lot of rumors and opinions about... — read more 

Listening to this GB Execution Town Hall. They are talking about this acquisition and how amazingly ranked this IU health plan is. But merging with EH is a bad idea. The rating will go down. They will regret this.

I was clicking around on Salary.com to look at the salaries of the executive staff (link here): https://www1.salary.com/ANTHEM-INC-Executive-Salaries.html and the CEO Pay Ratio caught my eye. I deleted the last name (even though we all know who it... — read more 

Hear ye, hear ye, peasants! In the new year, work your fingers to the bone, forfeit your friend and family relationships and your health for the 1 percent merit raise (if you are lucky) I will provide whilst I and the other Executives take our... — read more 

Layoffs at the start of the year are nothing new at Elevance and I don't expect that this year will be any different. Be ready for it.

Carelon is such a mess there is no way to fix the patches anymore. No amount of meetings, building yet another vendor platform, culture surveys are going to fix the immense amount of business lines that are failing or drowning at this point. Not a... — read more 

Are there specific RIF updates for next week? Be kind and humor me; the anxiety is getting to me right this moment.

Happy New Year to all, and may we all get bigger and better roles elsewhere before the RIFs come to get us.

Next year is likely going to be a tough one. I started preparing a while ago, and I’m actively looking for something else. Leaving this job will also not be the worst thing.

H1B conversation is gaining steam again. This company may need a plan B to find cheap labor for the next few years.

I hear there is a whistle blower in the C-suite. Has anyone else heard this?

All departments are affected…nobody is safe. If you are in claims/billing start looking. If you are in a role that can be off shored or your role goes from no work for a few weeks to overload for the other half of the month your role is on the... — read more 

Effective Jan 1st, hundreds of people will be going to Carelon from Health Solutions. Remaining folks will eventually let go. Shane H and Beth Weis are the worst people and should be fired.

Staff VP, Director and Manager will be impacted. Better have a plan B

I’ve been trying to find something for months. I would take even a lower pay. No decent offers yet. It’s demoralizing, and I’m panicking about having to stay here until they lay me off. I need a job, I just don’t want this job anymore. I hope the... — read more 

I know my RIF day is coming. Too many people under my director having been sitting with little to nothing to do for a couple months. I suspect the director is keeping work for his direct reports with not enough to pass to those of us that report up... — read more 

Carelon Health (formerly Caremore) is now Mosaic Health. When did this happen? What does it mean? Soooo many changes!

It feels like layoffs aren’t likely anytime soon, at least from my perspective. Sure, it’s smart to stay prepared just in case, but things seem stable for now. Hopefully, we can all breathe a little easier and not stress too much about what’s around... — read more 

Does anyone know what is going on with Bioplus? They just merged with Kroger Pharmacy. Does anyone have any RIF info or have whereabouts of any structural changes?

VP’s, VP of Staff, and Directors are great at being middle men no direction, no effective way to work solutions but great at passing endless initiatives without foresight into how these initiatives are achievable with current aged technology, new... — read more 

I think working for Anthem has given me PTSD. When I started so many years ago, the work culture was great, teamwork and everything. Now after the RIF Oct 2023, I doubt every job I even look at. Like I am now stuck in a neverending cycle of seeing... — read more 

Most of the people around me are looking for a way out. Is this true for the entire company?

The toxic culture at Elevance has become unbearable. It’s all about punishment and fear, with favoritism making things worse. Employees are constantly walking on eggshells, knowing they’re at risk of being either targeted or overlooked. It’s an... — read more 

Another tu-d with a pathetic message. He should feel gratitude as he does squat and makes a mint.

GET OUT while you can! This company is headed down the tubes - don't be there for the fall!

I’ve been through it, and I’m telling you, this job will drain you. They don’t care about employees or fostering growth. All you’ll get is a toxic atmosphere that ki-ls your drive. If you can leave, do it. You’ll be better off, and you’ll thank... — read more 

Coming up. Tell us what you thought about it. I don’t even want to listen to these anymore.

Does anyone think she writes this garbage on her own? "Leadership in healthcare takes compassion and a deep commitment to improving lives" 😂😂😂 That's rich.

People are anticipating next year to be worse than this one. More cuts, layoffs and offshoring are to come our way. Is this based on facts, or people are just speculating? I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what will happen, given the current... — read more 

Get comfy. Go to Wikipedia page for EH. Scroll down to “CONTROVERSIES”… you WILL be absolutely SHOCKED to see the blatant corruption in our organization. I’ve been here over 22 years and I never heard a word about this illegal stuff. Oh and YOURE... — read more

Another fake meeting to distract us from what’s really going on with the investigation into our top execs. I’ll take my tums now

Ratnakar needs to watch what is going on in the vendor management area and in the IT leadership. Already a few IT leaders were kicked out for taking kickbacks from vendors and the rumor is that even Anil B was removed because of shady dealings with... — read more 

Did anyone see this story about a woman being arrested? Police showed up at her house after talking to BCBS of FL about her claim being denied. https://youtu.be/a1vXtokZUwQ

For the majority positions under VP of Staffs there will be no bonuses and penny merit raises. Our book of business is not being met as most of metrics.
