This was done before, many times (layoffs, restructuring, whatever name they slap on it) and it never fixes a single thing. Performance stays bad, any small wins vanish fast, and we’re right back where we started. But hey, let’s do it all again... — read more
Is Cigna making itself attractive to buyers?
We might be missing the real reason for all these layoffs. One reasons companies layoff employees and cut costs is to make itself attractive to buyers by reducing costs in general and making itself look more efficient. I just wonder........

Severence details
Can someone that recently got laid off share what the severance package includes? Those of us that weren’t impacted in this round are interested to know because we may be next.
Got laid off. Here's what I know
Here's the dirt I know: it's was "by function" meaning someone from high up (won't name but know who) was whispering in the ears of VPs what functions they thought should be cut. A pretty high level didnt have any say in what happened and just... — read more
We lost some of our best talent
I'll never understand this logic. Lay off people who earn the most knowing they are simultaneously some of your best people, then end up paying more to get two people to do their job, because one new person can't handle it on their own. I've seen it... — read more
Will I lose my scheduled PTO?
I was laid off with a termination date set 30 days out, but I had some PTO scheduled at the end of the month that I never canceled. Am I essentially losing those days? I’ve been trying to get in touch with Cigna but haven’t had any luck. — read more
Will there be more layoffs this month?

I’ve seen guesses anywhere from 200 to 3,000.
What happens to unvested stock?
Like the title says- I got laid off yesterday and I'm having a hard time getting in touch with the department at Cigna that would tell me what happens to my invested LTI (maybe they were laid off too?). Does anyone know for sure?
From ethical to invaded…
CIGNA used to be a be a well run company with ethical standards that retained loyal employees who dedicated 20-30+ years of their lives and are now being indiscriminately booted because the company wants to save a buck by hiring cheap foreign workers... — read more

4/3 - Cigna’s Liberation Day
Just like the day before where we all got slapped with the Trump Tariff Tax and a bunch of unnecessary pain, Cigna went through with a large layoff designed to avoid WARN laws (as usual), and done in a scope and manner that will cripple productivity... — read more
Layoffs expose the corruption
The total lack of common sense used in selecting which individuals to layoff completely shows how inept the leadership making the decisions are. It's one thing to have a 10% RIF and use it to get rid of your lowest performers. But when you allow the... — read more
Experienced Epic analysts layoffs
Since the hiring of a 30-something director there’s been an effort to remake the Epic group with younger employees. Experienced managers and analysts exiting and replaced by the director’s inexperienced young friends.
When is the next round?
Ok, now we are done with April round. How much time do I have to prepare for a job switch and wait to get JE’d.. Want to time perfectly so I double dip and make f—king joke of this sh---y job
Termination One Month Out
I received news of my termination today. My termination date is effective in one month (May 3rd). How am I supposed to work during this time? I certainly don’t give a s—t anymore but I don’t want to put my severance at risk. Anyways. Sending genuine... — read more
Any female leader you know in the layoff list?
Is it just me wondering about this.. Cigna has 63% women employees, yet when it comes to layoffs it is mostly men.
DD&E layoffs

Iconic leader laid off
There are too many words and feelings right now. The leader who hired me, giving me a chance was laid off with this wave after being forced into a promotion, having their direct reports removed, changed to an independent contributor against their... — read more
No media coverage
I guess government layoffs are "s-xier" for journalists.
It's really disheartening to see so many close to me that I've worked with for years get layed off
So many on my teams, friends, coworkers etc are just like that, no longer going to be part of my daily life. Having a hard time focusing and staying motivated to do my work. I get it's simply the corporate life but just wanted to vent my feelings — read more
Core Tech and Provider Tech hit hard today
You want specifics. There it is. I am not going to list names but there’s at least 20 that I know. There are a lot more. Check on your friends.
Layoffs not new in this world.
Cigna is too big of a company to fall. Trust me… I have seen worse situations than Cigna. The current mess is due to some wrong choices our leaders made… but there is no point in blaming them either… we would have done the same as well. Things... — read more
Three major layoffs in as many months
This is inhumane.
Layoffs today at EviCore
Not sure how deep and broad they go, but there are layoffs happening today in the EviCore portion of Cigna. I believe it is a first step to dissolving EviCore.
Severance
Is it the same as the last time? Or have they implemented some changes?
Look at it this way
Even if you're laid off today, at least you'll be out of this mess and on your way to a better company - because, let's face it, at this point, there are few places that are worse than Cigna. I don't mean to make light of the situation, but I do... — read more
Latest round of layoffs
Lot of layoffs
Can a meeting be related to anything else?
Is it 100% certain it's layoff-related?
Leader - Laid Off
Like it says on the tin. I was set up for failure, isolated, and axed. There's nothing more to really say about it.
Cigna does not value loyal and hardworking staff
The most hardworking and longest running staff people are being cut on my team (IT)- I absolutely hate this. Such awful company morale. Best of luck to everyone- may this be the start of a new chapter.
Total Number of Employees Let Go
Does anyone know the number of EEs let go since these layoffs began? Any insight to when it may stop or is this just how it is going to be from now on?
How long before the layoff does your boss / boss’s boss ask to meet?
Is it ad hoc or does the meeting go on your calendar ahead of time? Is there a specific time it tends to happen or is it kinda all over the place?
How we got here
The middle class, and especially small, rural towns, have been struggling for decades now. White people have it bad. Black people have it bad. Men have it bad. Women have it bad. CEOs have it pretty good though. Then someone points out that... — read more
