I only wish that meant our chances of layoffs were dropping, but I know that couldn't be further from the truth.

@cx yes it will, look at how much worse the plans are this year and even more expensive. Pure profit, going to be another record year.
The boosting of the stock is a standard end of the year thing. It looks like Gail, Ramiro and Callis - two board members, purchased stock - Gail brought a million dollars worth of shares. McVesty sold shares. Purchases inflate the stock price. 2) by giving some more people unlimited PTO they wipe out accrued but not taken PTO as a liability on the books. 3) year end layoffs help reduce expenses- so expect that 4) you will see people being moved to-from Carelon and maybe to other spinoff companies to get them off the books. In summary - there will lots of year end shenanigans to up the stock price so SLT can hit their bonuses.
not the first time they have adjusted guidance to boost stock - it won't last
