Layoffs Galore - Current Employeee Premera Blue Cross Employee Review

I have worked here for many years, and unfortunately, I would not recommend it to others seeking long-term stability or supportive leadership. During my time here, I have seen frequent layoffs that create a constant sense of uncertainty among employees. These layoffs often led to significantly increased workloads for remaining team members, without any additional support or recognition. Collaboration also suffers as more jobs are outsourced, making communication and team cohesion increasingly difficult. A particularly troubling shift occurred when salaried employees were reclassified as hourly workers — not for operational needs, but seemingly to avoid meeting Washington State’s salary exemption threshold. This move reflected a broader pattern of decisions made by senior management that prioritized cost-cutting over employee well-being and morale. While there are undoubtedly hardworking individuals at all levels of the organization, the lack of transparent communication, consistent instability, and disregard from senior leadership make it a difficult environment to thrive in.
