Where do I even begin? Transparency has taken a huge hit since Gail showed up. Re-orgs and layoffs happen now without any sort of announcement going out. The only way you find things out nowadays is through the rumor mill, which is cultivating a very unhealthy office environment. The company is blowing money on cheesy "rebranding" that basically involves putting supposedly motivational quotes (including one from Gail herself) on every available inch of wall space in the office. Add to that the money that will also be wasted in implementing the company's new Workplace Strategy policy that forces those near an office who were previously working from home full-time to come back into an office. This requires the company to purchase more space to house these employees in many locations. Again, a waste of money. Then there's the Workplace Strategy policy itself. This policy essentially eliminates working from home in any form and aims to force out members of actuarial and finance who are not working in a city that has now been designated an "actuarial and finance hub". This is all an abrupt change from the way things have previously been, where many employees (including myself) were hired under the understanding that we'd have the freedom and flexibility to establish a work arrangement that fit into our lives. However, Anthem seems to have forgotten that their employees are actually people and not just workers, so this freedom and flexibility is lost on them. Additionally, leadership has consistently ignored and skirted all of the negative feedback from employees and managers about this policy, which has now resulted in a flood of valuable actuaries leaving the company for greener pastures. And of course, let's not forget the very first announcement about the Workplace Strategy policy, in which we were all promised that the policy would not disrupt our lives when it was handed down. That turned out to be a complete and utter lie, obviously. I used to love working at this company, but ever since Gail started I have felt like I constantly need to look over my shoulder for the next thing senior management is going to try to do to screw me. Leaving was the only choice for me as the environment there has become so toxic. Morale is so low.

Constant Re-orgs, one whole department got fired without anyone knowing. Now those were key people that no one knows how to do their job. Constant change in business direction, it changes with the wind. Senior Management is only focused on our constant falling stock price since our new CEO Gail Boudreaux took over. One person doing the workload of 3 people, without compensation. There is ZERO job security working here. This use to not be the case but now it is the culture at Anthem. Senior leadership is now missing from the company.
