Hey everyone, I am reporter in Humana's hometown of Louisville. I would like to connect with you, confidentially if necessary. I am looking for details such as emails, meeting videos and/or information about the RIFs. Here is a story I recently did on Humana: https://www.wdrb.com/wdrb-investigates/pandemic-strains-humana-s-connection-to-louisville/article_f48494ac-5a06-11ed-a696-0f5978ec0983.html
Reach out anytime if you can help, cotts@wdrb.com, 502-585-0822
You will not get access to your PITA
I just located the Humana policy on how the procedure they follow for determining which associates are eliminated during a RIF. It’s in HR Policies - Talent Redeployment Policy.
Your supervisor/manager rated each associated based on predetermined criteria, the Point in Time Performance Assessment. The associates were eliminated based on their overall rating, starting with the lowest, until the necessary number of jobs have been eliminated. I’ve asked HR to see my assessment but haven’t gotten a response yet. I’ve had stellar performance reviews and never been on any improvement plan or given anything I need to work on, so I’d like to know how I was chosen. Policy states it will go by seniority if associates are rated equally, but that wasn’t the case in my department. I’d like some answers.
Hey- Chris Otts, any idea of how many people were impacted in the recent RIF?
Go metadata will show you the ever increasing contractors aka offshore workers versus employee hires. The great louisville exodus began prior to covid, covid and the jefferson county cesspool of events just helped put a nail in humanas local roots coffin.
Below poster, I should’ve been laid off a long time ago, going with your theory!
conspiracy thought: company uses our own insurance claims to determine who is healthy enough to stay
Average age of an RN is 56. We are all old so of course looks age discrimination when we are let go.
Do you understand it’s not age discrimination if the whole department was let go because it wasn’t needed anymore? I understand the law and the age of 40 in employment law….but, what is the median age of your department? Of Humana? I think you’re off mark if you’re thinking only 50 people were laid off, and 45 were over 40. Hundreds were laid off. And, Humana is smart enough to comply with laws. Your post is pot stirring at this time and very bizarre that you think only 50 were laid off
Apparently you don't understand laws that are written that protect people who are age 40+. Since you don't understand discrimination, perhaps you should sit down and read a law book. Just calling out what is in my area.
@2eyp+1jLAel2I- you are sooooo off base in sooooo many realms…..do you even work for Humana?
It may not be discriminatory, but performance based. Remember, with the pita, a 3rd party is involved. And Humana is too large of a company to do something so blatantly that in one department almost everyone over a certain age was let go? And “over the age of 40”? If most people in that department were over that age, and they were getting rid of that department, that’s not age discrimination. If everyone in my area is over the age of 40, which I think they are, and our department was one that was being impacted, and we were gutted, that’s not age discrimination. If everyone over the age of 60 was impacted? But over 40? Do you understand age discrimination?
There may have been 50 laid off in your area, but way more than that over the entire enterprise.
I "think" this round 50 people were laid off... 45 of those folk were over 40 years of age. 5 were under. Yet humana claims it wasn't discrimination.
Chris Otts. What do you need to know? You already have the story you just need to change the date.
Maybe you could write for the good people of Humanaville, a piece demonstrating how inhumane Humana are. Maybe you could tell the citizenry that the back handed contributions to good causes, will never replace the lost income for Louisville residents who have been impacted time and again by this company.
Humana has lost it's way again. in the last 10 years the board at Humana has been positioning it's self for a sell off. Every move they make is aimed at the next bid for the company. BB is an accountant not an health guy.
I really hope he quotes me and my pseudonym. It will be immortalized on the internet...
Hey, this newspaper person basically just showed us how non confidential this site is, and anything you post and be cut and pasted for any publication in print or on line…you may want to be careful with what your posting…a good investigator can put together pieces and threads and you may not be as anonymous as you think
Anyone who looks at the hi page can easily answer when project growth started, and it’s objectives and wind down.
You can always assume there will be RIFs in healthcare, numbers depend on enrollment and reimbursement
They will not give a number of those impacted, nor is that public knowledge or needs to be. They changed direction. Some roles weren’t needed anymore. What difference does it make how many? If you were RIFd, does it matter a certain percentage was RIFd, too? How does that impact you? And, if you read the hi page, it will tell you why author was phased out.
Senior bridge serves a specific population with a not high enough return rate, and a new investor group of 7% has no bearing on the goals Humana has been putting forth for the last few years since the Aetna deal didn’t work out.
Why would centerwell have any layoffs if they’re building and expanding it ?
I don’t think those are great questions for corporate, if you follow the news about Humana, all the answers have been there all along. The direction changed after Aetna, and pilots were brought out to test systems and populations. It comes down to reimbursement and enrollment
Are you willing to pay me more than my severance package and potential legal fees to reach out to you? Confidentiality, even in the world of local news, doesn’t afford adequate protection from potential consequences
Questions to ask corporate:
When did Project Growth start, and what’s its objective? When will it end?
How many people have received RIF notices since 1/1/22, and what percentage is that of the Humana workforce? How many since November? Are more planned as part of Project Growth or another initiative?
What areas have been eliminated (like Author)? What areas were scaled back (like Retail)? How many were impacted?
Why is Senior Bridge being closed if Humana is pivoting to become a healthcare company?
What impact did this new investor group that bought 7% of Humana stock play in the top management team’s decisions with the RIF and reorganization process? How many new board members are there since that group became a major investor?
Can Centerwell Home Health expect similar large RIFs in 2023?
