On a town hall meeting with Susan Smith. She has just said there will be more changes reductions. Humana is continuing to try and cut waste. I think no one is safe from the possibility of being let go. Good luck everyone.
A warning
On a town hall call with a PBM IT VP today, it was revealed that layoffs could effect our portion of the organization. Some consulting group is being put in charge of this effort and determining who goes, apparently. It was noted that last week was... — read more
RIFmana
Things are unsettled . People wake up .
Pink slips and golden parachutes
Who got their notice this past week. What about this next week. Markets are on edge. Heard our market President and RVP are out….
Why do you think layoffs will be more widespread?
We are terribly understaffed, people are leaving and I hope that the layoffs will not be as widespread as some here expect.
Just got an email... 100 senior management layoffs... more coming
Well, the good news is the rank and file are unaffected, as of now. In fact, they talked about ADDING nurses / home health aides. They do mention that there will be more layoffs coming, but they will be done by fall. I think they are just clearing... — read more
Humana is not worth it
For years I put my work first and put in the nights and weekends and extra hours because I thought it would get me somewhere and help me progress. I never did. My superiors were always happy to take advantage of my dedication but there was always a... — read more
Who’s next
Paul mikulecky, Todd Soderquist, Will Shrank, Alan Wheatley, spin the wheel who’s out next at Humana?
Layoffs are coming .Don’t you already know it ?
No on wants to be laid off but it happens . Wake up and smell the coffee. Our department is over staffed. Labor is the most expensive item a company has . Humana wants and needs to get lean and mean . Be prepared. Trick or treat . I hear October... — read more
Engagement survey
Does anyone have any information about engagement surveys? Are we getting them this year or no because of all the lay offs and restructuring?
Nobody is even trying
I don't know of one manager who is doing anything to improve the record-low morale and slow down attrition. I don't know of one manager who has talked to employees about our concerns or tried to reassure us that things will improve. Not one of them... — read more
Have you left Humana?
Where did you land, how are things going and are you happy?
Please tell me there is an exit interview
I'm this close to landing a new job and once I do, I'm hoping to get a chance to tell the company exactly why I'm leaving. My manager won't care if I let him know but he's one of the main reasons I'm leaving anyhow so if I can get him in at least a... — read more
Productivity
Maybe it's me, but how are workers expected to thrive at their jobs when there is more changes than security, job firings than hiring and more people leaving at higher levels everyday. Apparently, the Humana "Perfect Experience" is to neglect your... — read more
I am tired
I have been with this company many years. Today I am tired. I want to be excited for changes that may come but I feel like care management might be a thing of the past soon if we do not show a return on investment. People are anxious. My leader is... — read more
High time to polish resume
Some of my colleagues are quite convinced that their positions are stable. Sometimes I really wonder where people get so much confidence that they think they are safe. Perhaps I'm panicking too much, but I think there are still more people who... — read more
Job market
I'm happy when I hear about someone who found better job and left this one here, but at the same time it depresses me because I haven't been able to get a better offer for months now. I guess I just haven't been lucky so far. Is the job market... — read more
The atmosphere is very tense
The atmosphere hasn't been more tense for a long time, but despite that, the manager tries to convince us that everything is under control and that we don't have to worry at all. Why is it then that most of us are worried? Perhaps we have become... — read more
Next round of cuts in August?
Can anybody share more info on this? Is it true or just another unsubstantiated rumor?
Alan Wheatley is Out
From this morning’s press release: On July 27, 2022, Humana (NYSE: HUM) announced that Timothy Alan Wheatley, Segment President, Retail, will be transitioning from his current role as of December 31, 2022, after which he has agreed to serve in an... — read more
BBs recent message
BB sent an inspiring message recently that stuck with me. I do think some leaders know how awful it's been becoming but can't steer the ship overnight. I'm worried about the market and how talent will fall in all this. Without workforce, we're... — read more
I really loved working here
For many years I loved working here. Do you remember the time when it was actually very nice to work here? I just can't figure out at what point this place became so toxic? Somehow, it gradually got worse so that Humana is now almost... — read more
Humana executives only care about making money for themselves
They don't care about anybody else. Not us, not the people we help, and not even the company. They're here to enrich themselves and it shows. I have stopped expecting to see things improve even in minuscule ways. It's not going to happen with the... — read more
More changes coming
Hearing of a few more VP possible retirements, reorganizing and internal merging in ops. Makes sense tbh, but hoping within all areas to retain those who manage and produce without duplication. Should be more appropriate ways of working instead of... — read more
Why Humana always look for an option to get acquired
Why Humana can’t able to survive on its own?
We deserve more transparency
Complete transparency doesn't work, but neither does no transparency at all. Uncertainty is the worst for me. I follow the rumors that are circulating, morale is low, I can concentrate on work less and less, etc. Don't we deserve at least a little... — read more
VP Retirements = Canary in the Coal Mine
With Humana announcing that they're committed to saving $1 billion in 2022, I've seen a few "higher up" VPs retiring of late. One such VP retired, and the company immediately announced a massive reorg of the organization that the VP was over. Given... — read more
Do you participate in Associate Engagement Surveys?
I heard this surveys aren’t anonymous. Do you change in your managers behavior after the survey?
Perfectly put
Pilot shortage, teacher shortage, nurse shortage, service industry workers shortage… We’re now seeing firsthand the jobs that really run our society. You know what we don’t have a shortage of? Overpaid... — read more
Looking forward to coming layoffs
I've been here for over a decade. If I'm affected, the severance should be good enough to help me through the job-search period (and even give me a couple of weeks to kick back and relax). I know not everybody feels this way and if I could, I would... — read more
How deep will the organizational restructures go?
And what type of employees will pay the biggest price in that process?
Layoffs Are Starting
Hearing that layoffs started today with Human Resources associates. They will be ongoing throughout the month of July and into August. Source: HR
I can't remember the last time I did a 40-hour week
I can't even remember when I did a 50-hour week, now that I think about it. The amount of work some of us are expected to do is inhumane (pun intended). I see that for some of you things are improving and I'm truly happy for you, but you need to... — read more
Humana keeps getting worse
Toxic work environment, underpaid employees, terrible management, no work-life balance, profit is put above everything else (which a company like this should never do)... With constant layoffs added into the mix, more and more people are choosing to... — read more
Humana People Leaders
Hey all, I've heard in some town halls the recommendation to "keep your teams happy" . It seems there's likely more layoffs coming, is the intention behind keeping associates happy to prevent a mass exodus subsequently to bleed the associate turnip... — read more
Severance
Is Humana offering a severance package in recent RIFs? If so, is it the standard 2 weeks for every year, capping at 1year of severance pay?
Group/Commerical
Gone with the wind
Never take layoff personally
Since it is well known that we are just a number to them, that they do not value loyalty, that they do not value their employees enough - why do so many people take layoff personally? I had a colleague who was cut at some point and who subsequently... — read more
