It's just downright painful to go to work these days. All that waiting really affected me (and my co-workers). Any so called efficiency is more than shot now... Nobody's smiling, nobody's enthused, nobody cares, nobody knows if they will have a job tomorrow. Very depressing. Just get it over with with all the layoffs and stop firing people - would you please?

Life goes on. It was announced that I was laid off from Humana on February 1, 2017. 600 of us. They let us go a couple weeks early, paid, then severence kicked in. The day it was announced we were getting laid off, guess what? I had my personal laptop out and I started applying for jobs right then. I got a job offer at another company and negociated a start date immediately after I got my last severence check. The "job help" or whatever they offered you don't need all of that. If laid off just do the bare minimum to hit the metrics so they don't fire you. But during the day, job search. Everything happens for a reason and life goes on. I no longer work from home, which was a bonus as far as kids, etc, but honestly it had gotten to be monotonous and unfulfilling. Good luck to you all. Start your own business or go back to school. Find work with a stable company. Health insurance is so volatile.
i was Rifed in november. It does get better and you will find work. You all will go through the stages of grief....Try to outsmart them by finding a job right away if possible and then your severance will be your bonus.. I know that wont be possible for everyone. Forget those Humana recruiters they arent at all helpful. The Right management has good webinairs and can help brush up your resume and you can also practice interviewing with them.
Truly sorry for those who lost their jobs- the loss of employment is a huge life event , more so for those who are primary bread winners. This not a time for displaced anger or back biting. I wish everyone peace and success.
This is H, being H. It does not speak to you and your personal value-- just to their want-to-sink- deeper pocketbooks that they want to keep to themselves. Please take care of you-- sincerely... you are worth far more than anything humana could say or do....
I suspect...do not know... but believe that this is a last call for this insane organization. big and little mice are racing to leave a sinking ship, or filling up their pockets before leaving-- you are getting out-- that is actually a good thing. I don't know how they can sleep at night.
Let yourself have a day or a weekend to be depressed. Cry. Yell. Be afraid. But don’t let this drag you down long-term. Don’t give Humana that power over you. They don’t deserve it.
Just got axed this morning. Sole supporter for myself & my child. Seriously sinking in to depression quick. 😒
Sure - @gym - it's both horrible and traumatizing.
Find me one person who's not depressed now - we just laid off 700+ people, that's horrible
