The Cigna Group Finance Development Program reviews

Matrix structure makes it difficult to get things done at times. Very focused on quarter,y earnings estimates which may limit strategic activities. Work force reductions have become standard course of action.

Below David, for several layers of management, it was not about the overall journey…it is about protecting their own space, their own salary/perks, and their own job. Many of the middle and senior managers in the organization do not have the knowledge or experience to lead the rest of the organization on the journey that has been laid out. That leaves lower management, supervisors, and individual contributors spinning in circles, spending time doing meaningless work, waiting endlessly for resources, manpower, or IT projects that usually don't arrive. However, at the end of the year, mediocre performance against lax objectives gives management an opportunity to tell everyone how great a year it was, while shafting the worker-bes.
