For a company that prides themselves on Transparency, it’s pretty disheartening that people have to come to a layoff sight to get information. Every week there seems to be a new announcement and by the beginning of November, hundreds should know their fate.

I could not agree more with the last poster.
To the poster talking about positivity, I understand that you have good intentions. But It comes across as tone-deaf and insensitive. It just isn’t realistic to remain positive, when you truly don’t know if your entire department will be eliminated. People are scared, feel uneasy, and people feel anxious — which are all normal feelings to feel. The last thing anyone needs, is to be laid off. People have bills and families to support.
Can we hope and pray that BB or some of his cronies are looking at this site? Ever time I see a human commercial I feel a knot in my gut.
To the poster trying to promote positivity. While I agree we need to focus on the here and now. It’s impossible to not worry when you risk losing house and paying bills couple with the recession. And inflation at the highest level since the 1950’s. Also not everyone can just roll easily into a new position elsewhere. So keep drinking your cocktails and strumming your violin as Rome burns for some of us. It’s not that simple or easy for all
Agree. The writing is on the wall yet they play word games and talk in a word salad to give us a false sense of belonging and security.
There are always layoffs happening at Humana. Every year, layoffs. Some are larger than others, but the truth is that RIFs are a constant.
None of us wants to lose our jobs or see the jobs of people we’ve grown to care about eliminated. That’s how corporate America works. Collective bargaining gives employees more negotiating power, but even that won’t stop a RIF.
I try to stay focused on what really matters in my life: friends, family, faith. I try to find the joy and beauty in each day. I try to give of myself to others. Those things help calm my fears. I can’t predict what the future holds, but I can live fully and be present in each moment.
Sorry for the philosophical waxing. Bottom line: Stay focused. Stay positive. Believe in the good. Live. Life will work out as it’s intended.
