Badge Out Trip Wire
Curious. Is there a time limit trip wire when you badge out to leave that is on a report. Say I badge in then leave 3-4 hours later. Do I come up in a report because I didn’t stay all work day?
Advice Needed
I am in the final round of interviews with Anthem and feel good about getting the job. However I’m in final round interviews with a smaller company that I think will have lower pay. For those of you who work there, is Anthem a good choice?
I was in a RIF last year.
Out of work for over 8 months, and it’s hard out there. I had a number of interviews where I lost out to an internal candidate… when I really thought I was going to be hired. I came back, managed to secure a substantial pay increase in the... — read more
Carelon Townhall
Anyone else fall asleep during the meeting? Lots of taking heads and not a lot of substance. Does anyone have any questions? Please ask us a question.
Who defines growth?!?
As I reflect on the town hall from yesterday I can’t help but wonder who defines growth? They say associates ask for this but don’t ask what associates mean when they ask for this. Instead they highlight trainings and lateral. Maybe this isn’t what... — read more
27 paychecks and leaving
As a salaried employee I feel like I am making less this year. I understand the 27 paychecks but if I choose to leave the company does that mean the company jipped me some of my pay?
New Offer
I am deciding whether or not to proceed with the company, I've heard great things but have had great job security the last 5 years, even though pay was really low .. I'm looking to build a career, obviously with more pay but I see that the company... — read more
Great place to work.
Let’s talk about those emails we’ve all been getting — the ones trying to “explain” why our paychecks are about to shrink. Apparently, because there’s an extra pay period this year, instead of actually paying us for that extra period, the company... — read more
Just listening to the finance Townhall
Listening to the finance Townhall. What more can I say. Disappointing. I wish I could post questions anonymously to ask during the Townhall. I wish I could say what I really think that all the leaders and speakers are bullsh-t. I could rephrase... — read more
Massive Insecurity or do they really want us to quit?
Over the past 2 weeks I have been flooded with messages and calls from past co workers sharing how miserable they are - they are called on the carpet for the smallest of infractions, reports are apparently run endlessly and if your metric is "off" no... — read more
Are layoffs done?
Will there be more this coming week?
Who else is looking?
I am not the type to switch companies, but I am finding it difficult to remain with all the layoffs happening and worrying if I will be next on the chopping block.
ELV to UST experience so far…
Terrible… Less benefits… Less PTOs… Sweat shoppish management … Job cuts… No diversity and that means not a single American in any layer above me or even around me… Ohh wait that was the similar in ELV IT too. IT had layers and layers are Indians... — read more

Insurance update
So, despite working for a health insurance company, our premiums and deductibles are increasing. However, I'm pleased to announce free pet care!! I feel like I'm in a slapstick comedy.

It's not a badge of honor
Every time someone posts about working insane hours like it’s some badge of honor, I cringe. You’re not impressing anyone. You’re just proving that the company can take advantage of your loyalty without paying more. When will people finally wake up... — read more
Bossy nature
In recent interactions, I’ve noticed a shift in leadership approach where supervisors are prioritizing directive control over collaborative friendliness. This manifests as micromanaging daily tasks, decisions, and workflows, which can feel overly... — read more
MOS ending in October…how many jobs will be impacted and when?
It’s such a huge program for Carelon BH with a long history. How many jobs will be affected from MOS and elsewhere in Carelon BH? I suspect that other areas will be affected too as MOS infrastructure supports a wide swath of the company.
Favoritism is alive and well - that we can always count on - how about your dept?
Just have to share how a talented, skilled associate with a stated goal of promotion was passed over for someone with far less talent, skill set, respect among her peers etc. Why - 2 reasons - She speaks her mind and doesn't blindly agree to every... — read more
Do more for less
Anybody else sick of Senior leadership saying “You are going to be asked to do more in 2026 with less funding.” I’m so sick of the greed at the Executive level. More, more, more!!! How!!!! You STEAL members copays (no matter how they spin it it’s... — read more

MyChoice PTO
I hate the sound of it. In theory it is unlimited PTO. In reality you could be passive aggressive marginalized for taking PTO. I’d rather have my fixed number of days I can take with impunity.
Layoffs Thursday?
Good luck everyone.
What’s up with CarelonRX
A related / unrelated question. Have a Medicare PDP plan, heard on the street Elevance is getting out of that space. Did a chat on Sydney and was told 1. Yes they are leaving 2. Should have seen in 2026 ANOC. 3. They can’t tell when, how or if an... — read more
October is normally a big rif month!
The question is, who is left to rif? Any news on rif calls going out week after next which will be a non-paycheck week? Or will they continue to make up more ridiculous work requirements to get the rest of us to quit or retire earlier than planned? — read more
Layoffs: Reality for the folks older than 50 l

Anyone heard of what’s the reason for this to happen at the office? Is it ICE?
AI at Elevance has been oversold as a solution
Senior leaders take credit for functional processes along with their minions, but in reality there are a ton of manual touches, fixes and workarounds by the working class folks who have subject matter knowledge. They keep riffing the workers before... — read more
CarelonRx
Does anyone here know if associates with CarelonRx were also let go last week? Looks like MegS team affected.
Get out!
This company, like all healthcare companies, DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU! Their ONLY concern is how much money they can rake in! They are not here to serve their members, just their shareholders so Gail can make her $20 million +!
