Funny 🤣
@14x Bragging about your “leaders” is the definition of a$$ kissing and shows how toxic they must be and how pathetic you must be to take it from them all the time. Most of the people in my chain of command don’t lead, heck they don’t even communicate what they want us to do. I couldn’t care less. I just show up and do stuff and call it a day. You, on the other hand, seem like an obedient cult member, praising your “superiors” for the chance to get a glass of that special kool aid.
Welp, good thing all my leaders over the years are smarter than you (not a super high bar but still) and way, way, way less bootlicky.
Fantastic slogan. What concrete steps were ever taken to actualize that? To make working at Cigna so freaking awesome that someone who could work anywhere would choose Cigna?
I don't recall any. But it sure looked great on display in a town hall.
@104 The company has evolved into "an employer nobody in their right mind would choose"
@10k Don’t be such a pill, dude! What is wrong with you? Really???
@zq a good leader would performance manage you out.
@zq It's a pretty big departure from Drive to 25 in the "be an employer of choice" mission.
Lead to One is the same as Drive to 2025 and whatever comes next.
Like a teacher talking to the Peanuts gang (waaaa waawa waa waaaa), I tune it all out and continue doing the bare minimum. Some days, even less...
Complete cr-p show. Nepotism at its asking horrible decisions one after the other. I’m just waiting for a layoff.
@rz THIS!!!! It’s not a micro aggression, it’s not bigotry or racism - I don’t care what shape, size, or color you are I care if you do your job so I can do mine. It is literally the inability to communicate with your enterprise partners to get the work done. Drives me insane and then I feel like a A-hat for having to ask repeatedly for clarification on what exactly was said. If I moved to or worked in another country, I would be expected to have the ability to communicate right?
30+ year IT employee. Is it just me or is every cross-functional IT call now led by someone whose accent and language skills make them difficult to understand? How are we supposed to accomplish anything if we can’t communicate clearly.
Just got another promotion! I’m going to get a Cigna tree tattoo 🌳 this weekend.
#Cigna4Life
@ax Josh and Katya. lol. A marketing campaign and not a strategy.
The corporate comms team has entered the chat. You guys can’t even use the layoff right. 🤣🤣
As far as I can tell, this describes basically everyone left at Cigna.
As long as I can keep getting this deposit coming by doing bare minimum, lead me to the ground. I’m mentally resigned
Its really great and I am happy for Cigna and its future
Lead to One is just a way of saying “further ensh!ttify the company”. It is not a strategy because it has no defined ends, no definition of a way to get to the end, and means are defined as all of us doing “something”. It is corporate babble speak. Also, we should use a$$kisser instead of bootlicker, as the stench around this place ain’t boots!
This person who uses the term “bootlicker” will be sent the the upcoming L21 reeducation camp.
As promising and exciting as your advanced bootlicking capabilities?
@OP It felt really hard at first. Like the kind of stomach ache you get with anxiety. I thought it must be all the changes and new expectations.
Then I fa---d into the wind and felt so much better. It had just been gas the entire time!
Jealous of who gets paid to come up with the d-mb sh-t.
L21 Level: Expert
It’s going great for me, thank you for asking! I can tell the efforts of everyone and it feels so promising and exciting.
Absolutely not. The changes coming to my team because of "Lead to One" seem to be destroying morale. They are also unorganized and nonsensical if the focus is truly improving " customer experience." Yes, there are many current disconnects, inefficiencies and redunancies that need addressed. People on my team have been bringing them up and making realistic suggestions on how to correct them for years. Yet, the changes they are making now seem to be the opposite of what would actually fix the problems. If you ask the people who actually spend their days interacting with customers, they can tell you that many of these changes are going to make customer experience worse in their opinion.
It's clear someone is making these decisions based on abstract numbers and concepts, without insight into how things work on a day to day basis. It feels like the true goal of Lead to One, is "Lead to One"...person left in each department because they've forced everyone else to quit. That way they can replace all onshore employees with AI/offshore labor without having to pay severance or announce more formal layoffs.
TLDR: IMO, Lead to One is just corporate business as usual, except with a new catchy slogan in place.
