Real situations you notice that are sadly true but funny because you can’t believe it.
Where is HR?
as a long-term employee, I have seen many different versions of our human resources department. However the rumors and announcements surrounding layoffs are not even being addressed. I as well as others have had water cooler talk and the consensus is... — read more
Cigna Integration
Anyone else curious about how Cigna employees are going to integrate into HCSC? It seems very divided still… Anyone heard anything about joining/merging of departments or teams?
Biometrics Consent will allow the company to use security cameras to see how many days you are in the office.
Time to start wearing our masks again.
This was never about fixing the company.
It’s about the same cycle we’ve seen everywhere — executives show up, drain what they can, and leave the rest of us to deal with the fallout. They collect their bonuses, their parachutes, their next opportunity, while the company gets weaker, good... — read more
HCSC environment
After nearly a decade with HCSC, I feel obligated to warn anyone considering staying here long-term. The environment has deteriorated to the point where even survivors of the layoffs are miserable. They've eliminated entire teams but didn't... — read more
Today’s the Day! (Or not)
Reality check time for sources.
Is this correct?
Been told it's not leading to layoffs till all the contractors are gone. Can anybody confirm if this is correct or not?
Customer Service Division is at a loss
We are grieving the loss of our leader. Greg Brown is a true example of the company’s core values. We need answers! His kindness and positivity trickled down to his leadership that trickled down to employees. Hopefully this loss won’t affect the... — read more
Culture of fear
As the new person, I noticed the silence right away. No one talks in the halls anymore. Meetings are just managers talking at us while everyone stares at their laptops. I made the mistake of suggesting a process improvement in my third week and got... — read more
Thoughts on Reorg Announcement?
I see a pretty major reorg announcement just went out. Any thoughts? Anyone concerned this is a precursor to layoffs to come?
Time to do some reporting
I am so over the coffee badgers and people who want to do the bare minimum. Your insistence on being slackers has kept near-constant attention on this literally years after the policies were implemented. It's your fault that HR has to keep pulling... — read more
Board Meeting
Anyone know what’s expected at the board meeting this month? I keep hearing it’s a major one, and that Maurice is out as President, and the vote is taking place this week. Also, possible approval for layoffs, or reorganization?
Is this a Layoff?!!?
We were told to not come in to the offices today.
HR Meeting Today? Layoffs? RTO Enforcement?
Anybody know what the big HR meeting was about today?
RTO Requirements
Through management it has been reported that all badge swipe reports will be pulled quarterly. Each employee is required to have 3 days in office. However, if you do not have an average of 2 days in the office for the past year when the report is... — read more
Realignments for former Cigna EEs?
Has anyone heard high level if HCSC will really merge former Cigna EEs or will they continue to be handled very separately? Many teams have yet to be more fully integrated and continue to be referred to as the greens & the blues by upper leadership. — read more
Offshoring?
Is HCSC is planning to offshore more roles, like phone CAs, in addition to the hiring freeze as well? anyone heard anything on this?
Why the hiring freeze?
Can anyone tell us the reasoning?
Hiring freeze
Heard today in an “official” meeting that there is a pause on hiring and corporate travel, unless required by a client. Not sure how long that has been in place, but this was announced on a quarterly call in my area. Can anyone confirm if this is... — read more
Are PTOs coming back ?
Are PTOs coming back ?
RTO
Any locations available outside of the 5 states + Nashville? LA/ NYC, etc?
Upcoming Round of Layoffs
Does anyone have any details on the upcoming layoff? Are they targeting a certain number of people (for example, 10 percent) or is it focused on a cost savings (targeting a certain savings from eliminated salaries)?
Pension
I am new hire. I started two months ago, I heard they have a pension here. Does anyone know how it works? Is it good?
Chairman, ceo, president
So sometime recently, the ceo was named chairman. No news articles, no call out, just hush hush change...seems strange. Thoughts on why it was done and why quietly rather than with an announcement?
Hourly vs salary
Some employees have been moved from salary to hourly recently. Is there a difference in benefits/pension/bonus etc for these employees? What would be the reason for that change?
What's the true tea? CYA, they are watching your badge swipes even more.
If you come in after 10am, it doesn't count as a swipe! They are only telling managers. What other secrets and sneaky stuff are they keeping from us?
Three rumors I heard
Leadership is really pushing for full RTO. HR is clamping down on checking swipes, including coffee badging. If your department requires two swipes, i.e. Legal, then both will be monitored. There is a $40 million shortfall. Just rumors... — read more
Lawsuits?
Any other Cigna MA employees considering suing Cigna Corp or HCSC for the deceptive about the entire deal?! We were demoted and replaced by DEI hires because HCSC was too insecure about the talent that actually leads the business they acquired. If... — read more
FTE - Hiring freeze?
Will there be exceptions, so we can recruit? Anyone from management share insights?
July 1st rumors
Anyone in the know of what exactly is supposed to happen come July 1st? Just a reorg? Or something more? Looks like other Blues plans are rumored to have something happening come July 1st also.
What’s the plan?
We’re coming up on 2 months in, but not a single person from HCSC has spoken a word to us. Half of us were demoted to hourly with no explanation, we can’t get any answers from leadership because they aren’t getting any communication either. There’s... — read more
Was the Cigna acquisition a mistake?
Whatever synergies were to be gained, seemed to be lost. Communication among the current team and the acquired asset has been disappointing. Corp Strategy is bloated and corp comm seems to be waiting on direction. Can’t unwind, but can cut bait. — read more
This fu--ing place again
Anyone else wake up today and would rather put a fu--ing bullet in their head than deal with this fu--ing sh-t hole again.
We are stronger if we grow together
In the long run, we all benefit when we adapt and grow together. Take the time to connect with your peers: Do you know what they actually do? What could you learn from them? What could you build together if you stopped comparing and started... — read more
Anyone hear anything related?
First, I have a friend that works in UM Government Programs and they were recently told of a reorg that will be effective on 07/01/2025. My friend says he will be moved under Medicaid which is not what he currently reviews. They didn’t offer many... — read more
Does HCSC even want Cigna employees?
Honestly feeling like HCSC doesn’t care that they just acquired thousands of employees. No onboarding except recorded trainings and no opportunities to meet HCSC colleagues? I think they’re trying to get us to leave willingly or they’ve planned the... — read more
