“I have been with Humana for 14 years and have been truly blessed. There are layoffs just like any other business. But they do try to find other areas within Humana for you to go. Most on this site are critical due to the layoffs and I can understand the frustration but it’s a business. The state our country is in is sad and a lot of businesses are suffering.”
With all due respect, I feel like you’re living in lala-land. Please keep in mind, that you’ve had 14 years to build your career, gain experience, and move up within the company. The Humana that you started working for 14 years ago, isn’t the same company that it is now. There are people, like myself, today who are in the position that you were in 2010 when you first joined. Fresh out of college, trying to establish their career, and climb up the ladder. However, for those that were RIF’d, Hiring Managers are supposed to prioritize associates who were impacted by layoffs, and they simply aren’t. I was RIF’d in January (like many others), so I know first hand what it’s like. I’ve reached out to the Hiring Managers directly immediately after applying, explained by situation, and detailed why I would be a perfect fit for the role, and they simply ignore me. A few days later, I get a “thanks, but no thanks” decline email. Since being RIF’d, I haven’t had ONE internal interview… not one. I only have 3 weeks left to find an internal role within Humana, and it looks like that isn’t going to happen. Gone are the days where you can stay at a company for decades and retire happily. I’m happy to know that you haven’t had a negative experience at Humana, but many people are dealing with the realities of this challenging wave of Humana throwing you out to the wolves with no regard or care. You never think you will be laid off, until you are. Never think it couldn’t happen to you, or that your loyalty and hard work will somehow be rewarded. So while you stick your nose in the air, and say, “Oh wow. It’s happens. Su-k it up”, remember the lack of compassion and sensitivity you gave to us, when you are trying to pay your bills and rely on savings because your job has been lost.
