Thread regarding Humana Inc. layoffs

You can go counterclockwise on my tookus humane-a not

You have failed at HAH since the debacle with Gail and stating that you did not need licenses in every state you called. That was one money saving initiative you failed at because the nurses called your BS. Then when this failed she was gone. In comes MF whose initials show his true colors. You banked all on Aetna buying you out and got screwed by a government whom you probably thought your lobbyists had influenced. Then you bring in an oligarchy acting as the new vp until you brought in a loser former PT who doesn’t have the credentials of an RN to be the interim fall guy of the dismantling of a program you lauded several years ago as you touted as the reason Aetna wanted to buy but in fact they really wanted the pharmacy.

What’s this? A day off for rest for the infighting and name calling and finger pointing? Perhaps we are going to see a Christian spirit, in the true sense of the word, and we can stop this nastiness?

Kid baldness = kindness. Apparently, my autocorrect decided this thread should be even more ridiculous.

This thread is nasty - from all sides. What about kid baldness and common decency? Does that not exist amongst Humana associates and leadership?

@RZIvfeJ-1djt You all flatter yourselves thinking any of this is interesting or important. We wouldn't waste the time searching for you, your attitude will identify you in the next PITA.

@RZIvfeJ-1tvc. Good morning sweetheart! I'm not full of myself honey... I'm just doing what you asked. And yes, you are probably right about screwing myself with identifying degrees....but there are 3 of us here as HCM RNs with same degrees as far as I know and we will all deny this. And don't think the 700 of us left don't have other degrees. I loved working at Humana before they started all these major changes and letting go of 700 of our colleagues. My story is the same though... I will stick around for severance but with clinical coming up this fall I will look for PRN positions to get me through. It's funny how you think everything I post is a lie...I didn't have to share any of my info with you so take a look in the mirror.. perhaps it's you. You have a beautiful weekend "sugarplum"

RZIvfeJ-1rzn. Oooh someone is feeling full of themselves today. Don't you worry about me and my resume sugar plum, I'll be just fine. I don't have an over inflated ego or attitude to drag along as baggage. I personally like Humana and will try to stay. If that means pivoting to in home than so be it. You can either pi$$ and moan and right change or get behind it and move forward. Change is inevitable and I am always up for new challenges.

As for your degress, I couldn't care less! More than likely you are making it up. If not, you just tipped your hat to management and HR. I'm quite sure there are very few with doctorates and even less working on a second. More than likely from a diploma mill like SNHU. Only good for lining the bottom of a birdcage. Bless your heart!

Below poster...no, but I’m sure there will be lots of anger, accusations, blame, opinions and slamming of others for their opinion before we get there

@RZIvfeJ-lop No honey. You remember me? The one with the higher credentials than our PT guy? You jumped the gun... I'm sorry to inform you that I was not the OP for this one... lol....why are you upset? Are the HCM RN's not allowed to have the same views as I do? Well honey I can betcha there's a few more. Unfortunately we can no longer say thousands. We are now down to the hundreds. And no... after this 2nd doctorate I receive I'm outta here. What are you going to do? Have you started looking yet? Because it's coming and you know it. I'm getting prepared. I'll be friendly and offer you advice... start spicing up that resume... you're gonna need it. And I'll just get ahead of the nasty a$$ comment coming from you so I will admit, with my first doctorate I picked the wrong field and left after 10 years due to insurance reimbursements. I have a family to feed and now 2 In college.. including myself. Am I perfect? Far from it. But I'm fixing it.

Do you people not read?

The poster said: I don’t see how it’s a negative that he’s dismantling the program, if his job is to take us into home care

Meaning, the dismantling has been in process for awhile, and he’s doing his job.

Ease up folks, and stop bashing each other

@brp....please read what I wrote: I don’t see how it’s a negative that he’s dismantling the program, if his job is to take us into home care...

Do I think it’s a positive experience for thousands to be laid off? Seriously? Um. No. The OPs post was bashing the leadership, all I was pointing out is maybe it’s leaderships job to move it into homecare, and they’re doing their jobs. You don’t respect my tone? Really? Someone gives a different point of view and they are accused of not having empathy or soul and you don’t like their tone?

Maybe it wasn’t a banal decision. Maybe you see it that way, but criticizing others who have a different view...that lacks empathy and soul.

Why am I on this site? Why do you care? Do you control it, and people thoughts and feelings? Did you ever stop to consider that I was laid off, too, and I am struggling to not take it personally and am trying to see it as a business decision and you are lecturing me you don’t like my tone?

And, OP, it’s spelled tuchus, the transliteration from the Yiddish.

I was the poster about sitting on her butt. I'm a HCM-RN. I sit on my butt all day, it's what we do. Yes we work very hard. I meant nothing derogatory about what we do. I was pointing out how this person seems to have all the answers but doesn't step up to the plate.

“sits on her butt talking on the phone all day. “

Is that how you view the nurses, below poster? I don’t necessarily agree with OP’s views, but nurses do work hard, care and look out for the members. All day.

And here is the same tired poster opining about a former physical therapist with a masters degree in health admin and many years under his belt doing just that. It's apparent by the constant complaining about the same subject over and over that the OP hates anyone in leadership. Could this be the same OP who claims to have far better credentials than our leader yet sits on her butt talking on the phone all day. Nothing worse than those who constantly complain and stir up drama but don't have the balls to step into a position like that and make the changes they "know" will work. Put your money where your mouth is! There are always leadership openings! Think you can do it? Then apply! Otherwise, quit b!tching and accept the reality here and move on. I follow this page for 2 reasons #1 to stay informed of any upcoming layoffs #2 get a laugh from the moronic drivel in these posts.

Agree with poster below. Unsure of the benefit of coming on to a layoff site and essentially saying, “layoffs are not a negative thing.”

I do understand, to a degree, the poster’s view that reality must eventually be accepted, and I think that everyone is aware of that, however can you really not think of one reason layoffs might be considered a negative thing by users of this site? Come on now.

"I don’t see how it’s a negative that he’s dismantling the program"

Then why are you even on this page? You think it's a positive experience for thousands of people to be laid off so they can tear apart the program, okay why do you care how others feel at all then? You obviously lack any kind of empathy or soul. I don't personally agree with OP's tone, I understand where it is coming from. And she has every right to express that anger and frustration over such a banal decision that has resulted in us being laid off and the upcoming changes that will make HAH hell on earth for our remaining coworkers. Your tone, however, I do not respect at all.

Why does the new director have to be an RN? What matters is his business background. And he’s a PT,which is really good if we’re going into home care, because PT is critical for some of these folks to stay strong at home and for the DME recommendations they can do. There is more to home care needs than nursing, and the guy has the background to to it....I don’t see how it’s a negative that he’s dismantling the program, if his job is to take us into home care...he is....and this has been going on for awhile...if you want to know where a business is headed, look at their job openings....about 6 months ago, under the #hcsrenewal they talked about, lots of jobs were posted related to home health, licensing and expansion.....so what if Aetna wanted us for the pharmacy? This is like a bad break up and having to say “he’s just not into you”....the money is to be made within homecare. It doesn’t matter he’s a PT, he has the background and skills needed, and people higher up and smarter than any of us chose him for his background and skill, and he’s not a nurse...big flipping deal....let it go. Accept the business decision. A nurse doesn’t have to supervise or run everything.
