Has anybody hired a lawyer due to the constant threats and abuse we received while employeed at Humana? Do we have a case if we were not fired? Has anybody won? What is the process to follow?

Age related issues??? That says quite a bit about the layoffs and who was chosen???
Re being threatened with HR/firing on the last day... seems shady. As another poster said, a consult with a labor attorney is free. Also the agreement they mailed for signatures means you agree not to sue, specifically for age related issues. And lastly a report to the labor board is free and investigated.
Your coach sounds like an idiot.
If it is your last day then why bother you with something they were not coaching you on. You are not making anymore calls so why get hr involved. Seems petty
So today our last my coach speaks with me re concerns she has re calls, never mentioned before, but has referred it to HR. if it has gone to HR, it seems it would have been reviewed by the upper mgmt, but never mentioned to me until last hours? Seems like a setup to avoid paying. Thoughts, advice anyone?
Uggh, sorry poster. I have heard too many stories from colleagues who were targeted, some who have gone out of their way to help members, but that never mattered to their leaders.
May not be a legal case but it have been bullied for a few years. False allegations. All unfounded. But yet harassed. I guess only those that kiss butt can rise to the top I am disgusted at things I hear from my peers

Class action is of no use. Only the lawyer gets rich.
OP didn't specify any of that, below poster, which was smart of OP if they are thinking of working with an attorney. Chances are, if they are at a point where they are seeking legal advice, it is more than run of the mill pressure to meet metrics.
There are some (not all) nasty, underqualified, overwhelmed bullies in coaching positions, just like any position, and if Humana makes no effort to reign them in, (or Humana encourages this behavior) then the resulting conditions can be unbearable for associates. I'd keep specifics off of here as well, OP.
I would think it would be based on the alleged threats and abuse. If you are behind in any of the metrics and you are told you have to work in it and it could lead to a pip is not threatening. It would be the coach doing their job. However if the line is crossed and there are malicious threats then yeah

This links to a different situation than what you are describing, but agree with poster below, a consult is where the process starts.
Consult with a labor attorney. They generally do a 15 minute consult for free. Couldn't hurt.
I don't think you will get any info here, simply because if someone is working with an attorney, they won't post about it where the company can see, anonymous or not. Most recent case I read about had to do with metrics demands forcing associates to work extra hours, uncompensated.
