Hi hang, Yes I'm writing Gail an email. I was laid off so at this point I have nothing to lose. In my adventures back in the office , I have learned how broken things are in many areas within the company . Business is stressed out, I've been told... — read more
I'd like to volunteer to be laid off
I'd like to approach my manager and tell him I'd be willing to volunteer for the next round of layoffs. I've been thinking about this for a while, and the only reason I haven't done it yet is because that would indicate I was ready to leave and... — read more
Is there another RIF coming? In past posts February 2024 was discussed…
From those who are in the know & provided the accurate RIF dates…when’s the next one?
If rehired after RIF beware
I was let go on 10/20 applied for a few positions after term. Met with a recruiter recently on a position. Note that if you live further than 50 miles from any pulse point you may be rezoned if approved to be virtual. I am in a zone 1 but was told... — read more
Hire to Retire? Ya that is BS
I was part of the 10/20 RIF and have been quiet but this has really been bugging me about Hellavance whole recruiting tactic of "Hire until Retire" when over 3/4 of our RIF was over 50.
Rehired after getting the boot
Has anyone been layoff and then was rehired shortly after? If so, did you retain your years of service and benefits such as pay and PTO, or did you start anew? Additionally, how did you feel about the choice to rejoin the company after the layoff and... — read more
Elevance layoffs due to Hybrid work model
I was recently laid off due to the Elevance (stupid name), RIF. I was with the company 15 years and have always gotten great feedback and reviews; in addition to working extra and late hours to meet SLAs and ridiculous deadlines. When we were first... — read more
Industry Collusion
Has anyone else scanned the layoff posts from other healthcare organizations?
Health Insurance
When you are part of a RIG does your health insurance end on your last day?
Hmmm- Brutally honest
So the first time ever I was brutally honest on the employee survey, which meant No One ' faired well' all low scores, and then I was laid off . Coincidence?.
Destruction of Operations
Massive target on Operations. Teams that survived the RIF are being moved. Health plan Operations, they're coming for your teams. This will destroy the business. Sink. Sank. Sunk.
No wonder Anthem is a mess
Years of cuts and attrition that cost us some of our best talent have resulted in one of the worst management in the industry. You can't expect to see a company do well if you keep promoting the wrong people with the right friends and keep getting... — read more
Opportunities Missed
3 phases … Phase 1 : Dependent and learning Phase 2a: Others dependent on you Phase 2b: Help people to be successful without you Phase 3. : Retire 2b is missed for short term gains. Associates in Phase 1 are robbed of opportunities to learn by... — read more
In-Fighting
I see several posts where we're attacking each other. Not the fake HR and corp monkey posts. The others where we're discounting each other's experiences and feelings about wanting to be RIFed or not. WE, the peasants, are not the problem. We can't... — read more

Corporate greed
That's it. That's the only reason why so many people lost their livelihoods this week. There was no need for this. There were other ways to cut costs and there were other ways to improve the bottom line. But this is the easiest way and it provides... — read more
EPIC rollout in 2024
With all the RIFs and future RIFs, who the he-l do they have left for the EPIC rollout in 2024? I know so many superusers and trainers who were let go. Whoever on top did not think this through.
Rif 11/2?
Did not happen. So the postings on big wave in November and February are just speculation aka rumor.
Transformation
Long time lurker, first time poster. Why does the company continue to let Gloria lead enterprise "transformation" initiatives? Has a single effort actually panned out in the grand scheme of things. She's been sponsoring or leading transformation for... — read more
Weird HR email - Living in Uncertain Times? Anyone else get it?
Very peculiar, given the current circumstances.....first of three sessions. OK is this place getting weirder and weirder? Are they impervious to the current climate? Or is this a not so subtle hint "you're next?"
Quick exits
Actively happening on Nov. 2 via “Sync Up” invite. Access to PC and phone immediately cut.
This isn't normal
I am not sure if I would be happier if I am not laid off or if I am laid off. I shouldn't feel so ambivalent about something like this.
Adjustment to sick time bank
Did anyone else get a notice that the sick time they granted during covid is being revoked on Monday? They just won't let employees have anything nice.
Massive GBD IT layoffs are in progress!
I know of 4 in my department (myself included). "Touch Base" meetings start at 11am and are 15 min each. So it has started. This company is going down and I have no sorrow about that!
CMS, PHI, and Carelon Offshore
How is this possible? We can't bring on HIPAA-compliant vendors with offshore support, even if data is de-identified. And we can't allow FTEs or contractors to work offshore in the case that they have family overseas or are relocated overseas, not... — read more
What's the expected total?
How big will this round be?
11/2/23 RIF is underway...
Please put your dept (if you feel ok to do so), state, how many others in your area and how you were notified below. Traffic on this site gets it pushed to Twitter and beyond!!
Looks like no RIFs today.
So far it looks like no RIFs are going on. Maybe we made it through another Thursday.
Anyone else?
Who else is compulsively checking their email for a calendar invite 🤣
Happy RIF DAY!
My the odds be ever in your favor!
Good Morning He-l-e-vance!
Let's talk about RIFs, layoffs and ethics today.
November 2, 2023: The Elevance Massacre "HELLAVANCE"!!
You ready for the scripted leadership calls with HR?
I was part of 10/20 Layoff
For twelve long years, I devoted my very essence to Elevance Health's former entity, Anthem Insurance Companies. My loyalty was unwavering, my dedication absolute. Yet, here I stand, cast aside in the most impersonal manner imaginable. A "touch... — read more
2nd wave of RIFs started today (10/30)…?
Are they going to be throughout this week?
November 2nd can't come fast enough!
How in the H$ll does this company operate with these level's of total incompetence. One year working here and seeing first hand what is going on makes me sick. They need to flush this place and start over.
GBD Execution on the chopping block?
Just curious if anyone knows if GBDX is going to get hit? Reduction in PMs due to the loss in membership for Medicaid and the horrible STARS rating announcement?
11/2
Any management here (since this is anonymous) that know for a fact 100% there will be a lay off next week? I say management since they would have a list of their associates getting the RIF. Just curious! I know we are all stressing.
SUB pay?
My actual sub pay plus unemployment is less than my pay was. It should be more since 401k isn't deducted. They lied sub pay is $100 a week less than it should be.
Attendance records from HR today - have you been going in ?
The HR reports come out today, as far as your attendance at the office. For some are exempt, others have you been going in, how's it going any office chatter?
Division meeting alluded next year and 2025 are going to be financially tough
Im always baffled by them saying financially tough given C suite and VP salaries. Seriously, why can’t they take cuts?!
