I am just so overworked I cannot handle it any more. I do not think I can continue.
Have anyone quit a job with nothing lined up?

@fv I've worked for 3 of the major companies - 9-10 years at each. Humana has become very toxic. Look hard for another job. Try to stay if you can because it is difficult to find another job, but if it has become something you just can't do anymore, then talk to your MD and take leave for stress and anxiety. Talk to a financial planner. Get your ducks in a row and get out.
I quit, but had saved close to 30k so I was fine for like 3 months, which is what it took me to find a new job.
Has anyone ever worked for one of the other healthcare companies? Wondering if the grass is any greener…
Take short term disability/fmla. A lot of us are planning to
I applied for another job while on my lunch break. Enough is enough….
@cq Agree. Use them just like they have been using you.

I recommend pursuing STD/FMLA for psychological distress/anxiety. I wouldn’t quit. I believe a covert goal with these metrics is to inspire people to quit or be placed on PIPs in order to skim the workforce without having to having to dole out generous severance or report layoffs. Quitting or getting fired might yield the same result that being the case, so just focus on tolerating what you can within reason and collecting your paycheck while you find time to look for other jobs. And remember you’re not alone!
Just do it. You should live every day like it is your last.
@cd plus your family would also still have health insurance.
@OP -you could always ask for FMLA and short term disability benefits due to being under an immense amount of stress and not being able to cope. That'd give you income for 6mos if approved
@c9 Sorry that happened to you and your wife. I do hope someday you consider a revisit once we get rid of Humana and the current Mayor that has turned Louisville into a Sanctuary City (even though that is now illegal).
But if you never revisit Louisville, totally get that.
@c3 One time when me and my wife were visiting Louisville Kentucky from Little Rock Arkansas, three thugs jumped us as we walking downtown enjoying the night scene.
As they were running away with my wallet and my wife’s purse, they yelled out, “It’s the Humana Way!”
@bz “It’s the Humana Way” phrase should be turned into and considered a negative byword. Memes should be created where bullies are gathered around an innocent child being pummeled by bullies and then at the end it says at the top, “It’s the Humana way”
@bz HaHa! Love it! So, true. I wish more people when they watch Humana’s polished sales commercials would see through to the disingenuousness and hypocrisy and outright lies.
I live it when the spokesperson in the commercials says something like “most of the doctors in our network can easily be found throughout the united states!”
Yeah, just wait when those expensive claim bills come rolling in because a doctor turns out to “no longer be in our network.”
it's the Humana Way
I would advise not leaving a job until you have a new job waiting or you you have at least 6 months of savings that will cover all your expenses. The job market currently is brutal!
