I simply do not understand it. No matter how much experience you have, how much loyalty you have shown over the years working here, how great your work is... Anthem enjoys micromanagement. If for any reason I leave this company as soon as... — read more

Hey Folks, So, let me ask has anyone been waiting waiting to be Rif'ed but it hasn't happened yet? Well that's me. 38 years at Anthem. I want to retire anyway by EOY, a severance package ahead of time doesnt sound like a bad thing. Has anyone done... — read more 

In essence, Anthem has expectations that are impossible to meet. I tried for a long time to meet their expectations, but I don't want to do it anymore. Only the bare minimum. I absolutely think that all the effort and working hard are simply not... — read more

Performance Auditor and Testing positions listed on Lagato careers site. Fyi: Anthem owns this offshore company in India and the Philippines. Take heed there will be layoffs.

This is a company that lets good people go on a regular basis. This is a company that will ask you to move to Atlanta or another location and then lay you off. This is a company that will ask you to work weekends and evening hours and then give you... — read more

Do your job. Do it well and in time. Get paid. Go home. You can go above and beyond and even achieve numerous impact awards and they’ll still lay you off. As stated here multiple times, the “culture” preached by leadership is complete horsesh*t — read more

Based on all the comments on these threads ... How does this happen?

With all the layoffs/outsourcing, that could be a sign. Just thinking out loud.

Like many others here a lot of us have been financially preparing ourselves in case we are the ones impacted in the next round of layoffs. (Let’s face it. It’ll happen sooner or later). Within the last year I was able to cut down my household... — read more
