Conveyed employees are all over the country, waiting to find out if they have a future at HCSC, while HR is completely silent. No updates on whether remote employees will ever be eligible for promotions or internal transfer opportunities. No effort... — read more 

I never thought I'd say this, but being laid off sounds better than staying stuck here, considering how much things have changed in the last several years.

Any idea how this is turning out for the parties involved?

It’s coming.

Where do I sign up for the free shoes?

I feel like there's been a lot of rumors going on here and within the office about what is going on right now. Although this is a failure on HR, lets look at the facts: Year 1: HR flagged people who were coming in less than one day a week (swipe... — read more 

Don't forget, if a holiday falls on one of your three office days, you're required to make that day up on another day during the week. They're watching (per my manager).

Social media has many stories of patients being denied medications or treatments. Doctors post about having to fight insurances for tests, procedures, or medications. Most of the people working for these insurances want to do good jobs. We want to... — read more 

I wake up at 2 AM shaking and sweating, dreading the day ahead! The two days WFH are a blessing compared to dragging my ar-e in for that two-hour commute to He-l Town. And that damn Teams! Every morning, that red dot! What's wrong now?

If only HCSC cracked down on nepotism and favoritism the way they are cracking down on RTO and the ridiculous 3 days average in the office.

Taking bets: post best guesses below. I’m at 2 mil

Never have I ever saw a company set goals for employees and never offer a glimpse of whether it’s on track to not.

Will they be using their tracking of which Cigna people gave low scores to determine layoff candidates? I assumed so that is why I lied on mine. Who else lied on their survey?

If you work more than a 8 hour day you can walk out and swipe in again and you get credit for 2 days since it is 8 hours apart

Soooo is it just the rumour mill or are we seriously having layoffs next year? I know that our department has had budget cuts and there have been no promotions this year, but should management gear up for layoffs? I say management because... — read more

I heard hscs opened a big Houston office but I see most job postings are for Chicago/Richardson. How flexible is the company in allowing you to work in a different office?

Since when did HCSC start allowing employees to make up their own titles for public use? Chief growth officer? Market presidents? Directors who are not directors?

Curious how coffee badging is kept track of when there is no exit badging. Is there additional monitoring going on? Does anyone know how this is kept track of?

I’m curious just how much reviewing actually happened during the job mapping process of the Cigna transition because what do you mean you are changing exemption and job titles 6 months in?! Maybe if Cigna HR was actually consulted instead of thinking... — read more 

Lots of money dumped into the new brand. Can it compete dollar for dollar with the Blue brand?

Historically it has been on time in June. Isn’t it odd it has not been released to the public ???

Not including a handful of IT, the recent leadership rearrangement or Cigna folks that didn’t met HCSC requirements for rehire, has anyone actually been laid off?

Anyone else feel like we are being forced to celebrate the acquisition when it comes with strife, low morale, hiring freezes, rumors of RIFs. Etc etc. Even the Cigna folks would rather not be here. Who sold them this con? Trump?

Was anything automated to do releases at Cigna?

I've been with the company for 15 years and I don't recognize HCSC anymore. We need to put the power back in our hands. They trot out these surveys to give us the illusion of involvement, to make us feel like we have a say, but it's just a way for... — read more 

All managers received an email today from the laughably-named “Ethics” department, reminding us that actual productivity is secondary to butt-in-seat time, because Momo has promised the Chicago politicos that he’ll fill up his beautiful building with... — read more 

Since the GOP's OBBB is stopping ACA subsidies, BCBSIL submitted a 27% rate hike for 2026 and BCBSTX submitted a 21% rate hike for 2026... do we have any details on the impact to staff reduction in the retail-supporting areas?

What’s happening? Layoffs??? New leaders moved???

I think we all can see there is a certain line of business, Medicare based roles, that are being filled, and other areas are unable to fill positions left open for months, and longer. The company has made/is making changes that make me think they’re... — read more 

Anyone else seeing the repeating pattern? We cannot backfill. We are told hiring is frozen but we see that it isn’t, because some people are being promoted who have no business doing so. Some people have busted a gut on major projects that succeeded... — read more 

Every reorg means fewer people doing more, while more higher-ups show up just to bark orders. Every single time - no exception. It’s been a steady downhill slide for years, and somehow they still act surprised when morale hits rock bottom.

I do not understand the value of some roles in IT like PLTLs and ESLs. They just pretend to manage a bunch of managers on their own and provide no real value besides throwing their weight around. Seems like, every time there is a reorg, they create... — read more 

We have had two recent major disasters both in Texas and in New Mexico, and the company is completely silent about this. We have become absolutely heartless greedy monsters.

And there you go… your national ‘rebranding’ of the Cigna people and products.

Well that was anticlimactic. The new brand launch we’ve been waiting for was just an unused trademark we picked up in the Cigna deal, with a new font and some hilarious stock photography.

Any thoughts on how this will affect HCSC?
