Is Anthem still on the warpath to cut its way to profitability? I am one of the victims of that war, I was laid off a year ago. I'm not complaining, though, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was too much of a coward to quit... — read more 

If you are afraid to leave Anthem because you think you have security regarding pay, you are are worth more than what Anthem pays you. I was making close to 75K in my last year at Anthem. I got contacted by a recruiter during that time and offered me... — read more

Is there going to be any reorg or Antthem layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Once upon a time, in a good employer realm, one had to pick others - peers, customers, other mgmt folks for reviews that were applied to one's annual review (at one time called 360s, perhaps I am showing my longevity). As of yesterday, 11/9/2021, I... — read more

Since they aren't a real company- just a patchwork of vendors. It teaches you a valuable lesson that you shouldn't try to find fulfillment from a job or company no matter how well run or not the company is. You should find it outside.

I've decided that I will not work any more than I do now. And I'm already doing work for several people. If they still think they will achieve something by intimidating people that they have to do an unrealistic amount of work in order not to be... — read more 

Does anyone know if you quit anthem in the middle of the year whether or not you get a prorated raise...or do you just lose it completely?

Last year, 4 Anthem Vice Presidents made over $5 million, and the President and CEO Gail Boudreaux made over $17 million. In the meantime, the median Anthem employee wages have declined the last two years by over $10,000: 2017: $70,867 2018:... — read more 

Almost all my colleagues are looking for a way to the exit. Some people openly talk about how many applications they have sent. The atmosphere is such that it looks like everyone is leaving. Not because of vaccination but because people don’t... — read more 

I have prioritized looking for a new job because I know that I will not be able to continue to work at this pace much longer. I’m too tired because the amount of work that I'm doing should not be done by just one person. If I compare last year and... — read more 

Here for the most part, everyone already thinks that the most important thing is to be among the managers favorites. In that sense Anthem is not much different from other companies I’ve worked for, but it's amazing to me how many people are able to... — read more 

I am pro vax but anti mandate. If there is a mandate, there will be a mass exodus all at once and it will have major impact to basic operations of this company. I have spoken to multiple colleagues who are planning to leave if they don’t allow... — read more

Working at Anthem has taken its toll on me. Lay-off half the team and the rest are left to pick up the pieces with the same performance expectations as before. You do the work of 2-3 people and yet your pay grade has nothing to show for it. Even if... — read more 

I am questioning the Ethics reporting process. I made a report and getting follow up is becoming extremely difficult. What about the Ethics Survey? Does Anthem EVER take action? Many associates have experienced racism and a manager very clearly made... — read more 

Has anyone seen any movement towards terming staff who are not vaccinated?

My calendar has a Quarterly All-Associate Town Hall meeting scheduled for today. Nothing but dead air.

It’s in my best interest to improve my job performance, but that seems like a mission impossible. How to improve job performance when you have more and more work to do almost every day? The quality of work is inevitably deteriorating.

Imagine ignoring natural immunity and mandating a vaccine that puts your employees with prior infection at risk and for no reason. An antibody test confirms protection. It is negligent not to offer that as an alternative. You talk the talk; it’s... — read more

Wonder what is behind all this, the unspoken, ominous mystery.

I hear Samir Rao, Chief Operating Officer of Ozy Media, is looking for a new job. Anthem IT leadership should do whatever necessary to recruit him. He has demonstrated the type of skills and ethics that are highly prized in our organization and he... — read more 

And yet I'm still too scared to take that final step. I have a feeling I'll be stuck here forever and it'll only be my own fault.

People Leaders? Is that really what we're referring to managers and directors as now? Sounds like something that you'd hear coming out of China. The company probably paid some consulting firm a few million to come up with that after a 9 month... — read more 

No one is complaining at the rate anthem employees are and they have much LARGER employee sizes. Huge red flag.

I have become very anxious since rumors appeared that there could be cuts before the end of the year. I work hard, I try to do my best because I really care about keeping my job here for a while longer. It doesn’t matter what I think of the company... — read more

Are we looking at more cuts any time soon?

For some it is much better, but I also know a few people who have regretted leaving here because in other companies they also have issues, just a little different.

I have to say, I'm not encouraged by what I've been seeing. There are lots of open positions but none offer decent pay and especially benefits. I can see why most of them stay open for a while, who'd want to accept something like that? Luckily, I'm... — read more
