Just want to say it’s sunday and i am borderline about to cry because of how anxious I am to long into work tomorrow and face the demands of my job. The stress is overwhelming and the only ppl left here are psychos.
Eye Opening
I accidentally clicked on Emblem Health, instead of Elevance, and their last post thread entries were from 2016 and they were saying and complaining about the very exact same thing as us…about the offshoring to India and Philippines, about the CEO... — read more
Vendor Resources
We have been seeing an influx of “vendor resources” added to our teams to “help” with inventory. Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark
H1b blame game
Whenever layoffs, AI initiatives, reorganizations, or offshoring happens, people instantly blame H‑1B workers, even though the data doesn’t support it. Elevance Health has hired only about 2500 H‑1B employees over the last decade, yet every corporate... — read more
Constant cuts have broken the culture beyond repair
When you never know if your job will exist next quarter, you can't focus on anything but survival.
More CIOs, that'll fix it!
Saw an org announcement that we now have seven CIOs with overlapping responsibilities (we had some of them before). I guess things were going so well with chief dipsh-t as CDIO that they decided we needed even more chief dipsh-ts. This played out at... — read more
Layoff Thursday 8/27?
Big re-org in Ratnakar’s organization this week. My boss moved my 1:1 to Thursday morning at the last minute today. My spidey sense says I’m in trouble. Anyone heard anything?
No more Unlimited PTO?
I’ve been hearing rumors that they will be getting rid of unlimited PTO and going back to the traditional PTO system we had in the past. Is there any truth to this?
Committed to Lowering Cost and Simplification
Leadership repeats these concepts on every call, and have for years. In 20 years of having health insurance as an employee here, my costs have gone down ZERO times. Year over year, it only gets more complicated. Talk is cheap. Like propaganda, no... — read more
Massive RDA Reorg
Does anyone actually know what is going on? The total lack of communication or transparency makes it seem ominous.
In-office time
How long are we staying in the office, if there is a badge-out system? Is there a “minimum number of hours required”? Does anyone know the “rules”?
Who cares
We post so much about the micromanaging the layoffs , those people don’t care. More money for them.
Rx Home delivery call center RIF
Unknown date. Conversational AI expansion/ they will be repurposing some roles prior to the RIF
Interview with a recruiter
I have an interview with a recruiter for an internal position I applied to. Any idea what they ask? I am guessing technical questions are reserved for an interview with the hiring manager. Also my application status still shows applications... — read more
I used to think leaving a job meant I failed
This place taught me that couldn't be further from the truth. I have been a high performer, always available, never complaining, and yet I got miserable raises and no promotion. Elevance is the one that did everything wrong and accepting that has... — read more
We're coming up on 3 years.....Sooooo

Badge-out / Richmond, VA office?
Hi everyone! Does anyone here go to the Richmond, VA PP? Does it have a badge-out system?
The sad badge of honor
I had a colleague who bragged about not taking a single day off in two decades. He saw it as a mark of character, as something to aspire to. I told him he was a fool and he was genuinely surprised. That kind of thinking is exactly what's wrong with... — read more
Whats the deal with RDA
I am seeing RDA (Reporting,Data and Analytics) emails all around. Are they planning to consolidate all reporting teams under one leadership? Will there be reorgs or layoffs due to that? Anyone see it coming soon in few weeks or months or... — read more
What’s The Deal?
For the last two or three years we’ve had so many RIFs, and I cannot figure out why. I’ve been here for almost 17 years and this is just so unusual. We are walking on eggshells feeling like it could be us any day. There seems to be no rhyme or... — read more
Finance Town Hall
Today’s finance town hall introduced me to the phrase “trend warrior.” Trend. Warrior. 🙄 Umm, this is an insurance company. Nobody is storming the beaches of Q3 armed with an Excel pivot table. But sure. I’ll circle back, leverage some synergies... — read more
Stay Positive Tomorrow!
☕ Coffee? Check. 📅 Calendar? Check. 😰 Existential dread? Check. 👔 Manager + HR meeting? Oh… sh-t. Good luck to everyone tomorrow as we gather for that very special corporate tradition known as “Career Roulette Thursday.” Remember, no matter what... — read more
AIP pays out in Q4 if RIF’ed
You’re eligible for prorated AIP or full AIP in Q4 or Q1, respectively, if you’re RIF’ed prior to the March payout. Just need to make it 44 more days baby!!
Working Internationally.
I am 100% virtual employee. Can I work from International location? I have asked my manager and he said no. I would like to visit Australia and work from there for a month instead of using my pto. Has anyone tried to take the laptop outside rhe... — read more
Interview - Internal Position
I been applying for several internal positions, and today I finally got an interview. E13 to E14. How do I know they are not interviewing me just to show HR that they interviewed enough people before promoting their team member. This job posting... — read more
Paid PTO
I was let go in April due to a RIF A colleague of mine was let go in March. Same organization and same state we are out of (Georgia). Re both non-management exempt employees…were anyways. How about I found out his manager got his PTO paid out! ... — read more

Is it more likely that I'm getting promoted or fired?
Accommodation
Has anyone here had success requesting an accommodation to continue working fully virtual due to a disability, rather than being required to meet the in-office/hybrid work requirement? This would be for a transfer position, as my current position is... — read more
Do managers have awareness to layoffs?
I’m sure this changes month-to-month or year-to-year. But, do people leaders have awareness to layoffs or are they just as caught off guard? Please provide your experiences.
Massive layoffs in IT
Brace yourselves for potentially massive layoffs. This is reportedly confirmed by a senior IT source. And, of course, AI will likely get the blame. If you've been working after hours, you might want to consider spending some of that time looking for... — read more
Why are we told surveys are anonymous?
Bullet point #3 on the survey states - You can access the survey from any computer, but you must be logged into your EH account via your Domain ID. Why does this organization think people are so stupid?
So Many People are being set up to Quit
I left a year ago, I am in touch with many of my past co workers. I can't tell you how many are on a verbal or written warning for not meeting metrics. This is outrageous. Skilled clinicians who have in the past met or exceeded standards are all... — read more
Looking forward to being laid off
That's all I wanted to say. Pay me to leave this place and I'll dance out the door.
Turnover here is higher than anywhere I've worked
Not surprising, though. New people don't get trained properly, can't keep up, and run for the door before the three-month mark hits. When will they realize that training people properly will benefit both the company and those of us who won't have to... — read more
Voluntary leave.
Hello. Does anyone know if you leave the company you still would be entitled to your AIP in March? I am hearing different information regarding this. Also the company does pay us out for PTO and my manager is an absolute tyrant when it comes to... — read more

Now we have some silly chatbot on Teams?
The cruel irony
The worst part of hating your job is knowing you can't quit until you find another one. And you can't find another one these days unless you fully devote your time to job search, which is impossible if you already have one. It's a trap that has me... — read more
Any layoffs expected in August?
Anyone hearing anything about layoffs coming in August? Or will they wait until the normal Fall rifs for the next large round of rifs?
