In February 2026, Express Scripts was hit with a racketeering class action lawsuit alleging it used a Swiss company to disguise billions of dollars in kickbacks. The lawsuit claims this scheme diverted rebates meant for clients, violating federal... — read more
70/30 Is not true
I just had a candid conversation with band 5 director offline. They said no on-shore hiring at all, first look for HIH if you can't find there, then contract one of the vendors. Some of the vendors already moved to fixed bid and to provide unlimited... — read more
HIH - Underwriting
Looking at the job postings, there are a lot of Underwriting posts for HIH. Here we go!!
hih name change
has anyone else heard anything about hih not being called HIH anymore? why is that? because the perception was so negative?
What exactly happens if a someone does not take the Voluntary Retirement Program? Laid off anyway?
This happened to my team mbr. IIRC he was in his 70s. During the final meeting, he said he enjoyed the work and he literally said he wanted to work longer, but he got the hint from the VRP. What would have happened if he didn't take VRP? Laid off... — read more
Contractors and HIH stealing my work and presenting as their own
Been working on a project for a few months and I was told to include hih and contractors in the project. The contractors took my work and began presenting it to other leaders as their own.
How many layoffs did we have in the last 12 months?
I can think of three rounds that consisted of more than just a few people. Am I missing anything?
I can't even get an internal interview
Can hiring managers see your current salary? I apply for jobs here and there. I can't even get an interview.
Tech & Ops Town Hall Discussion
A thread to discuss the DP town hall and observations:
My work, their credit again
I just watched someone present the project I've been leading for months as if they did all the work. No mention of me, no acknowledgment, just their name on my effort. This isn't the first time either. I'm so tired of watching other people build... — read more
Karma for Kari?
Kari leaving the company, but will remain through end of May to support Nicole. How do you all feel about Nicole becoming the new CHRO?
Last day Friday- Question/Brain dump about leaving
I know we have an exit survey but is there something called compliance questions? Been at the company for 9 years and after the past few months, it opened my eyes and realized I need to get out. Over the past 3 years, my team has underwent so many... — read more
Next JE period?
Any word on the next date for JE’s?
Cost Cutting BS
Is cost-cutting only for lower bands? I know a Director who gave a sermon on cost-cutting and budget cuts happening across, and that's how he needed to "release" team members. After a few weeks, he got promoted with a big pay increase. So then, is it... — read more
What exactly is the Voluntary Retirement Plan?
gen z, so i am ofc not eligible, but some of my coworkers retired with that. WTF is that? Cigna pays like 50% of salary at retirement forever? idk.
Eric Reed team issues
The prior post was just about that town hall. The issues in this team go way beyond a useless town hall. Share your stories of bullying and dysfunction. We just lost the best engineering guy the company had. The story we heard was he got sick of the... — read more
The relief of Friday
I realized just how much I hate and dread my job the moment I realized the relief and happiness I feel come Friday. It's almost physical. Is this really how we're going to live our lives until retirement? I have at least ten years to go, I honestly... — read more
PIP
I have been recently put on PIP. And in my experience this is based on racism/ s-xism. I have worked for various managers in the company and never received a complaint or a negative feedback. How do I handle this? This job is very important for me.

Layoffs not stopping stock price slump
That’s probably not a good sign for those who would prefer to remain employed.
Executive compensation- 2025 (are they worth it?)
2025 executive pay was just published in Cigna’s annual proxy report. Here’s how much the visionary leaders who are running the company into the ground are making - while your pay doesn’t even keep up with inflation and thousands of us are being laid... — read more
Can someone explain why Cigna is so determined to drive talent away?
We have people here that any competitor would love to have, and we do nothing to keep them. Junior staff get demotivated and check out. Experienced veterans with institutional knowledge get shown the door. What's the endgame here? Feels like nobody's... — read more
Is the staff reduction real ?
I am just wondering if this site just makes us believe that situation is worse than is it ? All my colleagues I worked with are still here and I haven’t truly seen a job displacement due to HIH or AI yet. Yes some VP or contractors were let go that I... — read more
Unused PTOs
I resigned couple of weeks back, and was expecting Cigna to pay for my unused PTOs for this year. Has the policy changed? I know we can’t carryover from one year to the other, but what about the PTOs I accrued till now? Also does Cigna also take... — read more
HIH Clueless About Layoffs
Band 4 manager here. I’ve lost a lot of talent over the past year due to RIF. As ops has moved over to HIH there’s a whole team over there doing stuff we deal with. Their manager pulled me into a meeting to say his employees were complaining about... — read more
Tomorrow is my last day
Do I regret taking voluntary retirement? No. Will this company regret hiring people who don’t know our industry, empowered to make decisions and ultimately destroying service all to save a buck? Absolutely. But after tomorrow it’s not something I... — read more
contractors
does anyone know how many are left? seems like a thing of the past
A dying industry
(This was a reply I posted in another thread, but it should probably be its own topic.) Ever wonder why Cigna, UHG, Aetna, etc. are trying to branch out into different areas? They’re hedging their bets. AI efficiency is smallest piece in our layoff... — read more
Impacts of AI at Cigna
Curious what everyone’s thoughts are on the AI impacts at Cigna? Every time companies talk about “effeciency” it often ends up meaning fewer people doing the same work. Also with the recent job eliminations and the intense focus on improving... — read more
If hired back after collecting full severance
Does your prior service still count towards any new severance you may be eligible for later down the road? I got nine months severance pay for a layoff last year but I’m considering a new position back at the company. Just curious if I was rehired... — read more
If you joined in the last 2-3 years, do you regret it?
Yes or no and a quick why. Just wondering.
2026 JE Calendar Dates
Anyone know if the JE calendar was updated for the rest of the year? I heard there was something in April? If IT is really moving toward a 70/30 HIH/US split, it seems like there will be quite a few more JEs coming up. Low key hoping I get the axe 😬
Health Insurance after JE
Hello, I am just trying to plan for post-JE when it happens. I have a special needs, 12-year-old boy. My wife is working near min wage, has health insurance, but not great, and they don't have family plans. If I have to get health insurance for my... — read more

Noelle never led IT and Katya/Gina did not lead digital? Really nostalgic for what the company once was before these two/three

Cordani and Evanko town hall
I’m still trying to unpack that strange farewell town hall Cordani threw for himself. How could neither DC nor BE acknowledge the layoffs that happened less than 1 week prior to this event and that are still ongoing? I don’t even know what I expect... — read more
RTO timeline
Anyone hear anything about returning to office? I hear rumors we are going to be mandated to become hybrid from fully remote work.

will they take away our severance if we work for encore?
