I'm going to be optimistic for a change and believe that we've have our fair share of layoffs for this year and that November and December will be layoff-free. Usually I'm the local Debbie Downer, but I'm honestly too tired right now. I need to believe we'll get at least two months of reprieve.

@12h Wow, I am not an RN but I take offense at what you said. I am guessing you are either a troll or someone who was not accepted to nursing school.
@at RNs are the worst. I wish AI could replace the RNs with One human to verify AI decisions. RNs are rude, short with patients, cocky and do the bare minimum.
@a3 those layoffs will likely not happen until feb or March. The beginning of the year until about end of january is always very busy with changes to health plans etc so there will be need of remaining hands to stay on to help the global team through that. Then there may be a couple smaller plans signing contracts to start early 2027--so they'll wait to see how many they will need for that before deciding how many to cut.
More to come
Optum/H&C has two layoffs per year. October and February. Although the other year they delayed their normal timeframe for Feb and laid people off in March. There is no job security with this company.
I know how convenient it is to work from home, but to all therapists and RNs of HCC, being laid off is not the end of the world for us. There will always be jobs waiting for us.
I just think about this whenever I get worried. There will be other opportunities out there. Our skillset are AI-proof, and season-proof, we are built to be both hand-on and hands-off clinicians, and that is our advantage over other corporate professions
It is hard but know that we will always have jobs and money to put food on the table and pay for bills.
For H&C, Humana sunsets at the end of December, so care coordinators and the appeals department could be affected in January. Unfortunately, it’s not over.
