Government Offshore Data Compliance?
Everyone should be curious about how Anthem is remaining compliant with the federal government's onshore data requirements for PHI and PII now that all the jobs are being offshored to Legato in India. Not to say that they aren't compliant, but... — read more

Make a prediction and tell us what you think about Antthem layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
There is no talent left to turn Anthem around
All the real leaders are gone. The people in charge we have left only care about their own pay and bonuses. They don't give a fu-k about Anthem or its employees. I would leave but I don't want to give up on severance. Considering my pay and age, I'm... — read more
Friends, quick question
What if your laid off , come back ( within a year) but get laid off again ? How does the severance work the second time around ? Anybody experience this? Just don't want to come back with the risk of it happening again TIA
Unvaccinated
My gut feeling is that many of the employees selected for layoffs were not vaccine policy complaint Would the statistics for that be FOIA accessible somehow?
Anyone know when the next RIF is?
Any insight on when the next RIF is expected? Which departments? I was rif’d in Jan. 2020 and got back in 30 days later. The thought of it happening again is nerve wracking.

Employee satisfaction survey ignored
So almost all departments have gone over their employee satisfaction surveys but ours has not. We were honest & pointed out major problems. Of course the managers are supposed to go over them with the team & develop a plan to make things better but... — read more

Another RIF is happening
HR is meeting with some of us leaders and some of our leaders are asking us to cut from our teams. It appears no team is safe, despite how small.

Hire to Retire? Ya that is BS
I was part of the 10/20 RIF and have been quiet but this has really been bugging me about Hellavance whole recruiting tactic of "Hire until Retire" when over 3/4 of our RIF was over 50.
Rehired after getting the boot
Has anyone been layoff and then was rehired shortly after? If so, did you retain your years of service and benefits such as pay and PTO, or did you start anew? Additionally, how did you feel about the choice to rejoin the company after the layoff and... — read more

Industry Collusion

Health Insurance
When you are part of a RIG does your health insurance end on your last day?
Hmmm- Brutally honest
So the first time ever I was brutally honest on the employee survey, which meant No One ' faired well' all low scores, and then I was laid off . Coincidence?.
Destruction of Operations
Massive target on Operations. Teams that survived the RIF are being moved. Health plan Operations, they're coming for your teams. This will destroy the business. Sink. Sank. Sunk.
No wonder Anthem is a mess
Years of cuts and attrition that cost us some of our best talent have resulted in one of the worst management in the industry. You can't expect to see a company do well if you keep promoting the wrong people with the right friends and keep getting... — read more
