#layoff

I'm trying to get a sense of whether layoffs are expected on July 16. Although I don't have any direct connections, I'm hoping someone here might have some knowledge or intuition to share. Are the Boston office and SMB products team likely to be affected?I trust people here As some people are always right …

Sleeping well these days? Doubt it. Who could when you're always looking over your shoulder for the next layoff?

Thought I couldn't make it without my Humana salary for most of my two decades at the company. Finally mustered the courage to shed them and can't believe how happy and stress-free my life is now.

How much is enjoying life worth to you? Truly enjoying it, not just putting on a happy face while dread and uncertainty haunt your thoughts. Haven't seen anyone posting "Wish I'd stayed at Humana" here have you? That's because they're finally free and happy like me.

Rumor of 6k more unlucky souls next week. Could it be?

My understanding, when they decide it's your turn, they cut access to corporate emails and any company system. Do they send email to personal mailbox? Or do they reach out via phone call/message?

There are a lot of rumors going around about layoffs and restructuring. I’ve asked a few leaders if they know anything, and they’ve been pretty firm that there’s nothing currently being discussed.

At the same time, rumors usually don’t come out of nowhere, so I do feel like there may be something happening behind the scenes. More than anything, I think there’s just a lot of fatigue from the constant cycle of restructures and uncertainty.

Does anyone know if VBG is part of the rumored July 16th layoffs?

Got laid off today
HR guy got upset at my comment. I said “today it’s my job, within a year it’s probably yours”

I had good memories, but clearly this company is going bankrupt again pretty soon. You can’t outsource every job to India and expect good results

I heard they are delaying the 16th to September so the interns don’t have to witness it

Read up on the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act so you know how to respond when you have that "shoulder tap" meeting with HR.

Off payroll by end of September.

Are people taking time off this summer? Or will they take that against us for the next go-round?

I go on vacation tomorrow and my manager wanted to make sure I had my phone with me. "Why? More layoffs", I asked.

She confirmed yes. I told her if I'm hit, just call me in Japan and rip the band aid off.

Happy vacation to me!

Last month, some UI team members in India are gone. Today, some UI team members (7+) in US/Canada are let go
