Ever since they came in lots of riffs happening. All these jobs are going over to the Philippines! Wtf! No one is safe
What’s with chatter about RIFs today?
Please post if you have information.
Last day at work checklist.
Is there a last day at work checklist, that anyone put together?.
My direct manager just got RIFd
Her last day will be 12/13.
Self-Care
To my fellow associates, it may not feel like it right now but there IS life after Elevance. Make sure you are taking care of you no matter what happens at this company. Your family friends and community deserve to have a healthy you.
Time to leave
This place has drained all the joy from my life. I can't even enjoy my hobbies anymore—if I have time for them at all! Being this overworked isn't healthy, in any way, shape, or form. This is what happens when they keep cutting staff and expect the... — read more
Insider stock news
Petey was awarded 3799 stock options on 1 Nov. You can check insider activity on public sites, but I check on etrade.
Need leads please 🙏
I’ve been trying to hang on, in hopes that this place would get better but it hasn’t. It is starting to affect my mental health and my home life. I’m wondering if anybody would be as kind to share job opportunities or steps they took to help... — read more
Antthem Layoffs 2025
Post any information about potential or actual Antthem layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Elevance Health stock price
Does anyone know why our stock is lower than UH by almost $200?
What's the toll so far?
Anyone know how many people Hellevance has RIF'd in the past year?
I wish I could quit
I know people are happier when they leave, but I'm too scared to do it. A former coworker found a new job for lower pay, but he's overjoyed. He keeps telling me how the stress is finally gone and how he can enjoy his free time again. Even hearing... — read more
DPAIO Meeting and Prediction
I predict they will use the word AI 2,834 times...2,842 of those implying that AI will replace Associates. And I predict they will have nothing else.
Carelon Town Hall
Opening this space for thoughts after the meeting 🤔
Law firms sniffing around
Just received a VM on my personal phone from a law firm that is investigating Elevance. The individual asked for 15-20 minutes of my time. I called back and had a very transparent conversation as I was happy to share what I knew. I dont want to get... — read more
How does a company benefit from layoffs?
I know money will be saved but that seems to be the only benefit? Trying to understand the mgmt? I see many drawbacks, less productivity and abiloity to do things, and other things? what else?????
I’ve been recently laid off
It may be a shock when it happens, it may induce fear of the future and undermine your confidence, but once the worst moment is over, you will actually be relieved. There is a whole world out there, which is something we all forget when entangled in... — read more
RIF'S in November
Just heard from someone in the know...No rifs will take place in November. Has anyone else heard anything regarding this? If so, please share. Thank you
GB will pay soon!
Her head will soon be rolling. We have been losing our best employees and our best customers. Government and Commercial business and come 2025 CalPERS!.
RIF veil of shame
I seek to understand the disparity in responses to retirement versus layoffs. When individuals retire, it is common for their teams and management to express gratitude, extend congratulations, and present gifts as a token of appreciation. For... — read more
Sadness and betrayal
Tomorrow is Monday and I don’t even want to turn on my laptop. It all seems like a meaningless rat wheel. Systems that don’t functions, sinking ships everywhere, low morale, droves of middle market VP’s and Executives that push more on the worker... — read more
Expect to do more with less
This isn’t my first rodeo at this company. I’ve been here just under 11 years and those of us left will wish we were gone
Thanks to Contributors
You don’t know me, but please know that the majority of us are grateful for those of you that know things about RIFs and share it here. 2023 I was part of a Teams massive RIF and 100% had no idea. It was so unreal. Thank you, contributors, for... — read more
Hiring new people for the same job/organization we were released from!
Is this some kind of a stupid joke? They realized nobody’s picking up the boatload of work we were doing and there are new positions open in the same org, we were released from. What a freaking circus…
What Matters Most
If you died, your manager would put out a job posting in 48 hours looking for a replacement. Your friends and family will never get that chance. As much as a job is necessary, do not ignore the relationships where you remain... — read more
I again lost critical people on my team
Those we need always get to go first. I get why it’s been happening. The best and most experienced are the most expensive. They will be replaced by the cheapest possible workers offshore. But having each round of layoffs conducted in such a manner... — read more
So much offshoring
STOP with all the offshoring to Philippines and India. Taking away so many jobs from us here in the states. This company doesn’t have a rats A** about Americans.
Anthem Well Being Free Service Outreach
Is it my delulu mind or is it coincidence that in the last week I have gotten a call from the Wellbeing team promoting a free service to talk about emotional wellbeing services. Like a call from am 800 number EVERYDAY. When asked what the... — read more
Oct 18 RIF
I was RIFd 10/18, and that was also my last day of work. I want to share a few things. I've been an employee over 25 years and this is NOT the Anthem I knew and loved. I had a note on my computer at all times for a sudden Thursday morning meeting... — read more
update to hybrid model?
when One can't control the things One should control, one controls the things you can control; when stock prices tank, no winning contracts, so what does GB do? change the company name and update the hybrid policy to be more constrictive. ... — read more
Hybrid workforce policy update
Make sure you are in the know that the “hybrid workforce policy” was updated 3 days ago.
BCBS and FEHB
I'm a former Anthem employee (I left in 2021- my choice) and now current federal employee. I don't know if this would be interesting to any of you or not, but I do believe the federal employee health benefits plan is a big chunk of Anthem's aka... — read more
Feeling completely overwhelmed
Is anyone else drowning in work? We lost some teammates in the last round of layoffs, but unsurprisingly, the workload didn't budge. It's become too much to handle for the rest of us with everything piling up. I'm worried we'll lose more people as... — read more
Pray for Gail
Pray for Gail and leadership to be servant leaders
Need to vent
I work in area where the rubber meets the road so to speak. All that cr-p about health of humanity and those we serve is just that! NEVER is the members health or treatment based on what they need ever mentioned! EVER! It’s get them out of... — read more
Layoffs should be about performance
I wouldn’t mind layoffs at all if they were based on performance. But that's never been the case. At least not as long as I've worked here, and I've been here a fair number of years. I've seen the best employees walked out again and again. That's... — read more
November
I have been trying to keep up. Are there confirmed dates for RIFs in November?
Gail’s strategy: if it moves, fire it!
Gail’s “leadership” navigated Elevance straight into a decline in Medicaid enrollment, missed earnings targets, and a drop in Medicare Advantage star ratings. Her “solution”? Punish the heart of this company with hiring freezes, layoffs, outsourced... — read more
