How many of you who are over 50 years old (or getting there) are being targeted by management with either bogus write-ups, bad reviews after receiving nothing but good reviews, or other actions that make you feel you are being targeted?

The Claims and Underwriting departments 2018 business plans call for negative numbers in expenses. Only way to get below zero expense growth is to cut facilities and people. It's happening so wide spread like someone else said here that basically it... — read more

Forging ahead with a new business model, thst’s 100% based on o/s consulting firm is egregious. Executive needs to be held accountable of making decisions in a bubble and then blaming the rest of us for its failure. ,

Hey ready this week will have additional announcements.

Are you being told you should be able to keep up, since everyone else is? Is there actually enough time in the day with reduced OT to do all the work expected? Have there been any time studies? Do we really know if it is possible? What corners are... — read more

Can someone define what these roles/depts mean/do?: SF Digital, CCC, CDE, ICP, ISC, ISD, UOE, etc Thanks, Gracias, Mahalo!

Does anyone know where we stand. The cafe closed, break rooms are being updated. As services said a new roof coming soon! Very confusing.

Has anyone seen any recent detailed press coverage? Anywhere. Or recent lawsuits?

Any interest in class action for targeting of over 50 aged workers terminated, or forced to retire or quit?

30 year employee here. Please only answer if you actually know the facts. We have always been told that the company cannot touch the pension to pay claims or anything else. Does anyone know the truth.

Does anyone have insight into todays IT leadership alignment meeting? Rumors are swirling that severance will be offered to analysts with at least 15 years and level 3/4 status over the next week.

There are Charting your financial future courses on severance out there now just FYI. They are open to any one though they do have target audiences.

Back in 2014 I knew this was going to happen. Changes needed made to keep afloat. We don’t have to like it. It needed to happen. We won’t go under soon but I project we will within the next 25 years.

I want to spread the word, knowing a city would help

You know what I’m talking about

Have they announced reductions for Claims (Directors, OMs, SMs and Secretaries) - if yes, are they providing any severance and how long is this going to take... I am assuming that other areas will not be impacted, again, it's an assumption but I've... — read more
