I’ve been RIFed today
Medicare sales. And, frankly, I feel unburdened. I’ve been questioning for a while now if it was even moral to work for this company. Many of us get into this industry bcs we want to help other people, and most of the time here I felt like an a--hole... — read more

My heart . . . can I go on longer?
Today, I was RIF’d. It wasn’t my first time—years ago, another company let me go because of COVID. Waking up to the email that delivered the news that hit me hard. That first company was my first love. And as they say, you never forget your first... — read more
Special place in he-l
Sc--w this company. I didn't get RIF'd (this time), but I'm a manager and this is the 2nd time I've had to RIF good people this year. They give us a script and tell us "don't say you're sorry, don't show remorse" and "own the decision". But it... — read more
What's the tally by now?
I see people reporting being RIFed in Medicare sales and related. Some also report being scheduled for tomorrow, expecting to be a RIF call. What do we know as of now? How many? Which areas? It seems to me that they are only warming up, and the worst... — read more
reporter seeking info about 8/8 RIF
Hi all, My name is Rebecca Pifer and I'm a reporter with Healthcare Dive covering the health insurance industry. I've covered Elevance's ongoing layoffs (https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/elevance-health-lays-off-more-employees/707250/) and would... — read more
Why are we still hiring?
So many people are being laid off and at the same time, there are hundreds of open positions we're currently trying to fill. Why isn't there a hiring freeze in place?
Medicare Sales Team Update
Just got a meeting invite for tomorrow (I’m on PTO) it says “Medicare Sales Team Update” it’s from Rhonda Clark & it says please try and attend if possible. immediately after that I got denied for two of the last 3 jobs I applied for here. I’m so... — read more
Riffed today 8/8
I have been reassigned to a new manager 5x in a year. An initial 1:1 was put on my calendar last week with my new manager who I had never spoken to before. When I join the call, HR is on the call. I was told my role was being eliminated in the... — read more
Age makeup of laid off employees
Looks like older employees are being targeted once again. Not surprising at all but still disheartening.
“Business Update” Meeting Invite
Just received a business update invite for late afternoon… Thoughts?
NO VAGUE POST !
Cmon guys please ., if you have been rif this week just post the day and general department ! Please stop posting these vague answers ppl are nervous and want to know . This site is anonymous !!!!
RIF’D Today - Which department and State?
So sorry you were let go, I have been there myself but it truly was a blessing in disguise. Opened a better door for me, hang in there! Can you please share what department and state you are from?
Announcement?
Are managers allowed to make any kind of announcement to let their teams know they are safe? It is really starting to worry me that my manager hasn’t said anything either way.
So for all the hype - Anyone been hit or defnitely know of someone?
Well 8/8 is here, it is mid-morning...for all the hype, has anyone gotten Riffed or know DEFINITELY of a person or area hit?
What's expected to be hit today?
Are any areas considered safe?
As Prepared As I Can Be
I have worked for this company for almost 2 decades and am fully prepared to be RIF'ed today. I am leaning on God to hold me - and anyone else impacted [even those left behind with all the work] - up in these uncertain times. May God be with all of... — read more
How many were affected so far?
I know this will last until the end of the week, but I'm hoping the brunt of it already happened and today and tomorrow will mostly be about tying up loose ends (people who are on vacation, sick leave, or whatever). I know I'm probably grasping at... — read more
Layoffs and Location
If you’re being layoff or already have been. Drop your Pulsepoint location and department.
Townhouse Account
With all the layoffs looming, the House account will be downsized to the Townhouse account.
Layoffs and H1Bs
How is a company allowed to hire more and more H1Bs while laying off American citizens. Does anyone at labor dept. or any labor group look into this? What are the rules?
Happy Quarter Quell
May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor! Let's be good to each other in the coming days. Lots of impact.
Scheduled PTO
I am on PTO this entire week. How and when will I be contacted and notified if I am rif'd? Prepaid vacation with my family so we are not canceling this family time...just in case.
Is there an actual reason behind layoffs?
I’m seriously asking. I haven’t heard of any strategy that would require reorg/layoffs of this size. Is it company performance? If so, what are the justifications for such LR and how do they see that it will improve company performance? Is there a... — read more
A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY DOING MAJOR LAYOFFS?
Yup, you read that right. A quick search shows this companies net worth and it’s definitely not in the thousands. But yet they have the audacity to attempt to lay off a HUGE amount of employees. But they do this every year, are we surprised. Are we... — read more
Media Coverage
Had anyone contacted the media about this huge rif? Local and national coverage is what this needs.
This uncertainty and tension is unbearable
I don’t know how the rest of you are. I assume the same. I just can’t stand not-knowing, and not even being certain whether it begins tomorrow or not. I wish mgmt was more decent and transparent about layoffs. This way we are working ourselves up to... — read more
Has anyone seen any WARN Notices?
If there are upcoming RIFs starting as soon as tomorrow, wouldn’t Elv had to of filed WARN notices? Especially given the magnitude of a 10-20% reduction, I would think they would have had to file something ahead of time. I tried looking to see if... — read more
RIF Starting 8/7...Rumor or Fact
Does anyone know if this is only rumor or if this is a fact. Can anyone give details please? Thanks
More Insiders selling
Several news articles today about insiders dumping stock.
Have ppl started to get meeting emails for tomorrow?
Has anyone started to get "surprise" email meeting invites for tomorrow/Friday yet? Any insight on when these emails are likely to start? I am having a panic attack each time my Outlook new email alert chimes today.
Is it really going to be a 20% headcount reduction?
I expected a bloodbath, but not as much. Is this confirmed or still in the realm of rumors?
Anthem work ethic
I have been with Anthem 20+ years and always had a high work ethic. I encourage everyone,with the obvious disregard Anthem is showing to the employees, to re-think how you work. I no longer work on minute over 40 hours, no evenings, no weekends. I... — read more
Insider Trading???
GB selling off a lot of stock makes perfect sense now after yesterday’s stock dip. The rest of us are on edge worrying if we will have a job while she clearly must have had some sort of information to protect her asserts
RIF 8/8, 8/9 and 8/12
It is with a heavy heart that I address the current restructuring initiatives at Anthem, which will result in a reduction in force (RIF) affecting approximately 20% of our workforce. Recent submissions to HR indicate that performance alone will not... — read more
Layoff for this week all set
Heard from an insider that all managers have been given their RIF list. It's happening this Thu and Fri.
