Thread regarding Humana Inc. layoffs

What do you all expect when you’re our leader Bruce Broussard is on the Board of Directors of the WEF (World Economic Forum). Google it. WEF is not our friends, neither is Bruce.

@qwh+1qPJPdeT Yeah, she’s bad. About the same as the other lady from before Covid.

So, our CMO is retiring in the spring. I’m hoping for dramatic changes in marketing after she leaves. Our Brand AVP is a lunatic. More concerned with being the girl BFF of some people and with the lady who runs creative. Wouldn’t be a bad thing to see her and her cronies go.

The problem is that too often the wrong people are targeted. Too many VPs and directors who don’t really know anything, but have the right connections. Too many people kept around whose only contributions are trying to manipulate other people to make them feel better. Too many people in roles they can’t perform retained because of diversity initiatives.

I suspect quite a few realignments over the next several months, as well as additional RIFs in certain clinical areas. If your team doesn’t save money, or there is a cheaper way to do your job (can you say vendors and off shoring), your job is in jeopardy. CM programs have a questionable ROI, so anyone in a non CMS mandated type CM program, should be concerned as should on shore UM employees, since UM in the Phillipinez cost half of what it does in the states.

We should hear of more layoffs next week or week after. Probably around 45% of Triage and Support CMs but could be more. I doubt HUMCS Triage and Support will last another year if things don't improve. Leadership can't seem to get it together. Constant back and forth process changes, no clear path forward.

Heard in the upcoming weeks more major change announcements will come. This is in no way official but heard from three isolated sources at Humana. May be a shifting around of areas and leaders with limited layoffs, or something bigger. Fingers crossed we hear soon from leadership, the associate stress levels are at an all time high. The transparency at Humana has been poor. I guarantee if these changes occur in the next few weeks the decisions have been made. Senior leaders are just now addressing the RIFs weeks ago in some areas. Why so much lag time?? We need clear communication the company is back to stable but leaders do not know what is going on or Humana would not have had that devastating end of 2023. Everything is emergency reactions on top of emergency reaction in a loop. A spiral but hoping not a death spiral.

I told you people weeks ago they were not done with layoffs.

The whole telephonic model, except SNP, is at risk….the focus is on home health, Centerwell and pharmacy moving forward. If you’re not in one of those programs or supporting one of those programs, you’re at risk.

So no...cutting out people for programs in a highly clinical regulated setting doesn't exactly work well...and doesn't make for good headlines either.

The other problem is Humana continuously cuts people who bring in revenue such as coding support, STARS support, sales agents...so the numbers look good the year you cut them but the long term revenue and profitability inevitably suffer once the full impact of those layoffs are fully realized.

Humana has already trimmed much of the fat. They have been and are now almost exclusively cutting thr muscle and bone of the company.

Lemmings. Like lambs to the sla-ghter. I suppose you are all okay with this unless you are in the 40% camp. Such idiocy.

“Altogether, we are reducing the size of our senior leadership team by 22 percent for 2024. “
That’s from REI ceo letter on their website.

Twitter? Seriously?

February is just about here. A bunch of us are about to get twitter resetted. It’s already been announced.

40 percent is too much. But a 10 percent at each level will be beneficial I guess.
