Humana is playing a nasty game. The are laying people off and before you can get your severance you have to sign an agreement that gives up so many of your rights. It is as if they are forcing people to be silent about being treated unfairly, retaliated against and humiliated by leadership. They offer severance which is 2 weeks for every year worked and an AIP payout the following year. This job market is terrible but allowing Humana to continue to get away with this is not good. Humana leadership is horrible and HR IS NOT for the employee. They support and protect horrible managers

Way in advance, before you are offered any early retirement proposal, at least speak with an employment attorney (one that offers free first consultation) to find out what you should do. Chances are any that you choose has already had clients that signed to document and will even have a copy of what it will say.
You have rights, use them.
That person (probably an Associate Director or Director) that used cussing language to try snd forcefully tell you to sign, do bot be intimidated by such persons. When it comes down to it, they are weak bullies and just need someone to stand up to them.
@s0 Shut up fool! And stop your cussing! Normally, I would not stoop to calling names but sick of people cussing like it was just every day speech. Used to not be like this during my grandparent’s time. I have no idea why we are all excepting this younger generation disrespectful way of speaking.
Sign but but add not, do not agree or signing under duress or search on line for what is recommended when signing. Sounds like I need to do the same. Be prepared. I know of a team of 5 who were high performers overall. All were rated a 2, got no pay increase but no one else did and several, if not all got no AIP, then they were all RIFed.
Thank god they offer the severance package
Sign the damn paper
@aa of course but everyone financial situation is different. Everyone does not have the same financial luxuries,
@ea No
@ed They are occurring sporadically but some people are being laid off because the manager does not like them and Humana is allowing it
.. did more people get laid off today?
If one of us quit at this point, would we still get AIP payout ?
Don’t sign the agreement and seem legal before the deadline.
At least they still offer severance for now
@aa Great advice! I’m assuming you are suggesting people contact an employment attorney in advance, even before being offered a chance to sign such a document, to find out their rights and options. Thank you!
Unless they physically held your hand when signed something you got no one to blame but yourself if you still signed.
