I was impacted by the RIF in IT on January 10th. My last day at Humana is March 11th. I received a meeting invite from the VP of our department titled “Quick Touchbase” on a random Wednesday around noon. I’ve never spoken to the VP, so the meeting... — read more
Technology Leadership Professional vs a Technology Solutions Professional
Does anyone know the difference between a Technology Leadership Professional verses a Technology Solutions Professional? They both have similar titles, but I’m not sure what the differences in the role is. Humana’s naming conventions for their job... — read more

Does anyone know when we will get our confidential invites if we have been chosen to be laid off?
No information session
Disappointed in the nurse meeting today. No information on layoffs/reorg or AIP Just a blip that we are all stressed.
Move to snp
Anyone heard how many nurses are needed to move to SNP this round and when we would hear if chosen? Wish they would give us updates!
Layoffs happen, I can deal with that
It's more important how the company treats its employees while they're working there. And that's where Humana has been failing in every possible way. The toxic work environment, the lack of respect, and the constant bullying are just some of the... — read more

Fire the leaders
Many hardworking Humana employees have been laid off recently when top leaders continue to make millions. Why don't you fire some incompetent leaders, Bruce? Susan Diamond is a complete failure as CFO. She cannot even get the basics right. William... — read more

Does anyone know why?
Linked in job posting.
Has anyone else seen the positions being posted on linked in for H positions. I have 2 in the past 2-3 days. Today’s was telephonic care manager.
W2 Severence Error?
Humana only took out 272.72 federal taxes on my almost 40K severence pay in 2023.. I feel like this is an error as I asked specifically that Taxes be taken out. Now I owe the IRS an unreasonable amount.. Anyone else seeing this? Just another way... — read more
Any new info on layoffs?
Anything next week? A lot of rumors, especially due to bad Q3. Do we know anything for certain?
Once again, leaders completely out of touch
Lisa from clinical ops in recent email said that we “might be feeling some level of anxiety or uncertainty, and that’s okay”. I’m glad that is okay with you, Lisa. My God, how completely out of touch. “Might be feeling uncertainty”.
AIP
When is the payout?
Let get on with it
Let us know the plan!
False job advertisements
Has anybody else who is looking to leave noticed that many of the same job advertisements keep popping up each month but they never respond to applications in any way? I've noticed this happening more frequently. It would be one thing if they were... — read more

Can we do a Twitter-Like reset?
Twitter cut 75% of its staff and still runs great. Can we trim cut 40% and carry on just fine? There’s just too much deadweight IMO, do you agree?

Bruce says it’s a short term problem
Bruce sent an email reassuring us this is just a short term problem. It’s not a short term problem for the people you are laying off, Bruce, due to poor foresight and leadership. Matter of fact, it’s a very long term problem for a whole lot of people... — read more
Limited layoffs?
Whatever that may mean. Given the company's performance, I assume many people will be affected and soon. Competition did better than us last year. Maybe our problem is the leadership? You do not solve major management problems with laying off... — read more

New President of Enterprise Growth announced today
A newly formed function! Today. January 25, 2024. While poor earnings report was being delivered. I can only imagine the compensation for that role.
Q4 ER is really bad
I don't understand the logics of our board. Why do they want to keep BB until later this year? If an employee knows that they will be leaving the company soon, it is natural to assume that they may not be motivated to work hard to make the company... — read more
Words matter
Dear leaders, Your words matter. The way you choose to position your statements has a profound impact on the team you lead. This is particularly important in the climate we are enduring with RIFs, realignment, and fiscal consciousness. You may think... — read more
Ugh
Those higher medical costs will wipe away more than $775 million of profit that Humana had expected to bank for 2023. Humana also is “currently assessing the expected impact of emerging utilization trends on its 2024 outlook, which is anticipated to... — read more

Will the Execs get 30% of their Bonuses too?
OK gang, I just switched from UHC to Humana last year but it's the same story. Stock price and EPS trump any of your financial targets and quotas. For 22FY - Broussard $15.8M in bonuses & Stock Awards, Huval $3M in Bonuses & Stock Awards, Diamond... — read more
AIP looks about 25% of last years
The company announced that we made 30% of the corporate multiplier last year. I took a look at my old email history and we made 130% that year. So, simple math, you'll likely see 25% of the dollars you saw for AIP 2022/2023. Disappointing, but not a... — read more

Centerwell
Have you seen some of the places they are putting these Centerwell locations? Some are really run down. Does not look good for the brand.
So let me get this straight..
Humana Profits increased (highest in 3 years) Membership increased Cost to serve membership increased Employee Bonuses decreased Member Supplemental benefits decreased Is that everyone else's understanding?
Recommendation
Off shore customer service is a turn off to members. When will you believe that Humana?! Upper leadership needs to listen to some calls to CIT, Claims, Go365, ect. It's bad. The is a huge barrier when neither side can understand each other. Move... — read more
