Anyone hearing anything today (2/29) on layoffs?
Are they done?
Wondering if they are taking a break from firing people?
I wish I could quit Cigna more than once
I left two months ago. The only regret I have is that I can't quit more than once. It brought me so much joy to be able to tell my bully of a manager that I was leaving and watch the shock on his face. He truly thought none of us had any other... — read more
Any new info on layoffs this week?
So far only contractors are rumored to be affected on Thursday. Anybody else?
Coincidence or trend?
Are you more at risk for lay off or “forced” exit if you are over 40 years old? I understand the economics of employing more experienced workers (correlated to age). However, with the number of over 40 people being impacted, it make me wonder how... — read more
More layoffs next week?
Feb 29?
I wish they let me volunteer
That way I'd have gotten severance and happily left, and somebody who didn't want to be laid off could still be here. It would have been a win-win.
Hope all affected yesterday get back on their feet soon
So sorry for all of you, guys, who were affected yesterday. Layoffs were apparently across the board. Times are tough, it’s not easy to find a new job, and losing it in this economy is really bad. Most of us have savings for a couple of months, and... — read more
"happy staff"
There was an interesting question posed in the Fishbowl app. If you aren't aware, Fishbowl is a mobile app by a service that rates companies. Companies can have their own "bowl" space and people can anonymously post frustrations, questions, opinions... — read more
Arbitration
Where can we get a copy of the arbitration agreement online? What has been your experience?
Layoffs update
What was the scope today? Do we have any idea?
This is becoming unbearable
Are we ever going to be able to breathe a sigh of relief?
Notifications
How are people being notified? Is it a 1:1? Does that mean if I don't have one scheduled, I'm safe? Or is it some other way?
Cigna Layoffs Feb 22, 2024
Layoffs happening today!!!!
02/22 Happenings
Just putting a single thread up for tomorrow’s changes. Good Luck Everyone, the Best is Yet to Come!
How many of you are hoping to be laid off with severance?
I’m on the fence. I would he better off keeping my job, but I also wouldn’t mind having the spring & summer to recharge/retool before jumping back into the job search. I guess I’m indifferent.
Cigna is bad for mental health
Terrible culture and constant fear of layoffs are only the tip of the iceberg. My mental health has deteriorated significantly since I joined two years ago and I can't even imagine how it is for some of my older coworkers. I believe changing jobs is... — read more
Is this gonna be the week?
Thursday? Waiting is unbearable.
So MANY jobs being listed under Evernorth in Hyderabad, Telangana, India
I saw this link from another post. You have to copy and pate the link into browser to see the amount of jobs Cigna is posting under Evernorth all in India... — read more
Am I being quiet fired?
Leader consistently moves my 1:1, is late or cancels. Doesn’t respond to my emails in a timely manner. Constantly on do not disturb. Am walking on eggshells because if I speak up, I’m disruptive. I retreat and now I’m told I am disengaged. My gut... — read more
The WARN act
How is Cigna getting around having to send info to the govt regarding future layoffs via the WARN act? When I look up WARN act layoffs here: https://www.tn.gov/workforce/general-resources/major-publications0/major-publications-redirect/reports.html .. — read more
“Health industry is hiring like crazy” hype
Every second article or analysis I come across is saying that the health industry is hiring like crazy. Public sense that massive layoffs are happening across the corp sector is based on fear-induced false perception and exaggerated media attention... — read more
How will Cigna use proceeds from the sale
The Cigna Group will strategically deploy proceeds from the transaction in alignment with its capital deployment priorities, with the majority of the proceeds being allocated to additional share repurchase. Capital will also be reinvested in the... — read more
Technology Stability Period
Any information on this? Conspiracy brain tells me it’s in place to prevent any damage being done to critical source systems during layoff period. Totally baseless, just makes me wonder since there was no context supplied.
Is Cigna on a hiring freeze? Or are the internal/external roles just getting picked up quickly?
With all this talk about layoffs, is Cigna technically on a hiring freeze? I have seen a few roles posted externally for the past few weeks and now it is instead internal only. I was curious if maybe they just didn’t find qualified staff or if it’s a... — read more
Cigna/Evernorth Contractor Layoffs
Seems like many software engineering contractors are getting notice for 2/23. Any background on what this is about?
No one seems to know.
I think it’s safe to say that the people who once knew about upcoming layoffs have either been let go or are afraid to speak up. We are now left with a lot of speculation and the waiting period has become unbearable.
2/22 - is this the next big layoff date?
I’ve heard 2/22, 2/29 & 2/15. Does anyone have clarity around the next date? And those that were let go already how was it done? Was it normal 1:1 meeting or other titled meeting?
DOJ waiver for HCSC MA purchase?
Anyone know if it was granted or if it's still a contingency to close the sale?
This is a perfect example of Cigna shooting itself in the foot
2-3 years ago, the work culture was very different here at Cigna. The first shift in Cigna work culture that I noticed was when they gave us all a "Merit Bonus" which robbed everyone of a legitimate merit increase. This means most of us were all... — read more
Burned out
I’ve been for a while, due to workload and stressful environment. I am now experiencing a new layer to it. I was panicking over losing my job. I’m now slowly transitioning towards not giving a sh-t about it anymore. And not in a good way. More like... — read more

Layoff.com is the new Instagram
Just adding some humor here. I keep scrolling through and checking this site atleast 10 times a day. It’s so sad but the truth of these draconian times. Have been going a lot to indeed, Glassdoor and Linked in jobs lately. All my social profiles are... — read more
Buckle Up
Cigna’s SG&A (Expense) ratio has been around 7.5% of revenue the last two years. 2024 is projected to be ~6.1% based on the recent earnings release. This represents a 20% reduction for a company where headcount is the largest SG&A expense.
Work the absolute minimum
Considering how we're being treated by Cigna, it's only fair that we pay the company back in kind. That means don't do anything other than what you have to. No extra effort, no staying late, no doing tasks that are not part of your job description... — read more
So, is it coming on 2/29?
Do we know for sure?
Warning about being contacted via LinkedIn
I know many at Cigna have been contacted by recruiters over that past week or so. Folks in that field are well aware of what is going on at Cigna. I know because one of my good friends is a technical recruiter. He was the person that warned me about... — read more
