This all seem just nuts... Lessons learned from CDE that our company is simply not retail, not a one product offering and has been woven and cobbled together over the last 40 years. I am not saying that there are not opportunities for new ideas but the one thing we need to move us to the future is a deep understanding of how today really works.. We tried sideling all of our SME’s during CDE and bringing supposed young talent and all we got was 3 new departments, bloated processes and battlefield commissions in the leadership ranks. Its already going to be chaos on 3/31 when we send packing a bunch of leaders.. Let us not forgot that a lot of those very leaders how build this complex system that supports the back bone lf this multi tennant product line, agency and claims workforce.. Oh yeah we do financials too, and it gets interwoven into the mix too. To think the “logical” next step is to eject the seasoned analyst group is just plain nuts.. If this is how our new regime does business then it may be just time to let them eat sh-- and let them fall on their faces!

Targeting 15+ years or will it be like the first line manager buyouts where they are targeting those near retirement but attempting to do it in a way to not be guilty of age discrimination?

Why 15+ years? Appears under 15 years are purposely being targeted to keep because salaries are lower. Totally nuts that who is kept and who is let go is not being based on performance. And so the problems continue.......

Is the rumor voluntary severance? Or involuntary?

I guess we'll find out tomorrow...
