Does anyone know of other message boards like this for Cigna and ESI employees? This one has been helpful, but is specifically about layoffs. I’m wondering if there is one for general employee discussion about any topics. We can’t seem to get the... — read more 

Based on the latest article that calls out a possible sale of Cigna Medicare as a precursor to a Humana-Cigna merger/sale... I'll like to hear people's opinion as to which company they speculate would buy Cigna Medicare.

If this merger actually happens, layoffs will be absolutely brutal. I'll be praying for this whole thing to fizzle out.

At least pay-wise. I've been trying to find a new job for a few months and I've been getting offers, but the pay was always below what I make here. Which in itself is worrisome since Cigna is not among the better-paying companies. I knew already the... — read more

Recently, Cigna moved a ton of their claims work to FirstSource (a third party company based overseas). The news was received in early November. This affected tenured employees and even managers who have been with Cigna for over 20 years. Everyone... — read more

The nubers don't lie. 9 out of 10 employees laid off in November of 2023 are over 50. Is this legal?

Last November 2022, we all were asked to participate in Insight Surveys. According to leadership, it's important that they hear from employees regularly about our experience working at Cigna. Our perspective was "supposedly" critical in helping our... — read more 

Wanted to start a wholly encompassing thread for FOW, starting with discussing the 11/15/23 update. Does it seem like they've reduced the overall expectation for employees to be in the office? I swear I heard in an earlier update that the goal was to... — read more

We can't go even a few days after layoffs before news or rumors about more layoffs start emerging. Is this our new normal?

The day is still young, though. Wishing the best to everybody who's on pins and needles right now.

I don't see much sleep in my cards for tonight. This will be a long night and then an even longer day. I just hope everything gets wrapped up tomorrow. If I'm not laid off, I don't want to be forced to go through this again for who knows how long... — read more 

Just curious of the layoff process. Do you get an email invite from HR department or your direct manager? Do they send the invite the morning of or possibly day before?

If layoffs are coming and we've recently had another round, then why isn't there a hiring freeze? How come we keep hiring people while at the same time, others are losing their jobs? This makes no sense. Just institute a hiring freeze and let... — read more 

...Please let us know here and (generally) what area and the contents of your severance. Stay strong, friends!

Someone must’ve triggered someone at Cigna as they are starting to remove some comments.

Let's face it, this is not the same company it was a decade ago. Not when it comes to pay or benefits, not when it comes to job security, and especially not when it comes to culture. Everything has worsened drastically. Which makes me wonder, why do... — read more

If this article is anything to go off on, we all might as well start looking for other opportunities. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/cigna-explores-shedding-medicare-advantage-business-sources-2023-11-06/

Reading the severance documentation, and it says it's based on years of service, but there's a minimum and maximum benefit applied. Does that mean by default, regardless of years of service, you're entitled to the minimum benefit?

If you are a God fearing Christian there is no place for you at Cigna. It’s uncomfortable to work there as they are extremely unethical and force their beliefs on you. If you are let go consider it a blessing in disguise. If you remain after this... — read more
