#aflaclayoffs

There is no other way to say this: Aflac's culture is a facade and nothing more than an award-bought punchline. The only people held accountable for the "Aflac Way" bullsh*t are the PS and lower employees. Managers, Sr Managers, and with exclamation, the Director/VP level folks are too stuck in their own egos to follow through with these "commitments." Across the board, the leadership culture is one of bullying, belittling, and politically driven agenda to elevate only their own. Problematic leadership will simply be reorged, or slapped on the wrist. If you go to HR, please know that they are their to protect their friends, and will spill the beans on your grievances to your leadership in a heartbeat. You have zero rights, and will be "at willed" to protect the inner sanctum of the bullies. #aflaclayoffs #culturedcancer

So many of us are come to work everyday and take the abuse...never saying a word. Those greedy execs count on our silence. And so far it has worked in their favor. They hold all the cards, while the rest of us fear for our livelihood. So, I guess to some extent that makes those of us who don't say anything bear some of the responsibility.

No more.

Aflac has been lying for years about #aflaclayoffs and the real way they treat their employees. The so called leaders aren't leaders at all. They are unethical followers, carrying out the deceitful wishes of the Amos's.

If you are reading these posts, like me, it's time to speak up. The rich shouldn't keep getting richer while we all have our jobs threatened by #aflaclayoffs.

It's sad to say, but coming to #aflac everyday is stressful and unpleasant. The recent #aflaclayoffs and those that are coming puts all of us in a constant state of anxiety...just waiting for the hammer to drop on us. The leadership is so deceitful and none of them have any sense of honesty or integrity. So many people are still in denial and defend the company...but that doesn't change the truth. The smoke and mirrors routine is beginning to fade, and more and more people are seeing the truth. I've got decades of tenure, and it took me a long time to recognize how things really are around here. But it is painfully clear now...#aflac does not care about its employees. The Amos's only care about themselves and their fat bank accounts.

And remember, your potential is worthless if you no one to coddle you. Meanwhile in reality, #aflac continues to make moves to dupe #forbes and lie about the #aflaclayoffs

In light of the new NDA and resulting impending #aflaclayoffs this deserves a repost: (thanks to Post ID: @OGroAK6 for the original post)

Displaced = Layoff

The definition of layoff is the act of dismissing employees. A displacement happens when a job is eliminated and the company AUTOMATICALLY places the employee in a job with a similar level of responsibility and pay. Aflac has eliminated jobs and outsourced jobs multiple times over the last 15 years. Each time, employees were "dismissed" from their jobs. Yes, they were effectively laid off. Those LAID OFF employees had the "privilege" of applying for openings within the company for 30 days after the lay off. They had to jump through the same hoops as any other applicant. MANY of the jobs available for the laid off employee are many levels below their eliminated job...and there is no guarantee that the laid off employee will receive any preferential treatment. When your job is eliminated and you are forced to look for another job (whether it is internal or external), YOU HAVE BEEN LAID OFF.

Remember the BancTec outsourcing project? More than 160 people were LAID OFF. Those jobs were completely eliminated. BancTec hired some of those laid off employees (at a loss of pay and benefits), others were able to find jobs within the company (although at a much lower level), and others weren't as fortunate.

Compliance LAID OFF at least 20 people a few years ago. Those employees were called to a conference room and told that their jobs had either been eliminated or consolidated with other positions. They weren't even allowed to return to their desks to gather their personal belongings. They had to turn in their ID badges and were escorted out of the building. They were allowed to keep limited system access so they could apply for jobs for 30 days. They were effectively treated as external applicants. THAT IS NOT A DISPLACEMENT.

Risk Management had "displacements" (#aflaclayoffs)

Quality had "displacements" (#aflaclayoffs)

Claims had "displacements" (#aflaclayoffs)

There are so many other similar situations. Yet, Aflac continues to promote the lie that they've never laid people off. And those who aren't impacted continue to turn a blind eye and defend the company...because they have remained safe and naively believe they will never be impacted. The company promotes a cult-like culture and if you don't align with the "idol worship behavior" you are labeled as a troublemaker. There is no real, legitimate culture of diversity and inclusivity. All of the people who "drank the kool aid" are of like-minded thinking. Different perspectives are not appreciated or tolerated.

The only good news is...the economy is booming. Take back control of your individual thinking and value. Actively seek out a company that truly is appreciative of your talents. Get out before they force you out.

Most of us have dedicated a huge portion of our working career to achieving the greedy goals of the Amos's. We've worked tirelessly to process apps within 24 hours, answer calls within 60 seconds, resolve complaints quickly, and pay claims within 4 days, 1 day and same day. The aflac culture is a slave mentality. We've been forced to work overtime and sacrifice our health and time with our families in order to make the execs rich - they certainly don't share those profits with us. We, the employees, do NOT come first. In contrast to their "motto," we've taken care of the business, but they have NOT taken care of us. What have the greedy Amos's given us? EAW?? Those crumbs are offensive. This is a multi-BILLION dollar company with HUGE profits. EAW costs are a VERY small drop in that huge bucket. Does it seem strange to anyone that we are FORCED to participate in EAW? Ever ask yourself why we can't take PTO or stay in the office during the big civic center show? It's really a very selfish reason - Aflac wants the positive media exposure of all their little ducklings filing an auditorium, screaming and going wild, hoping to catch a few of the small trinkets thrown out to us - practically worshiping the Amos's and execs like they are gods (quite narcissistic). And just like hypnotized cult followers, we do it, because we need a job. They hold the strings and we are their puppets. Shameful.

The leading provider of voluntary benefits is ironically a life altering #aflaccancer to all of us. In return for dedicating our lives to making the Amos's and all the other execs financially set (not just set...but extremely wealthy) for the rest of their lives, they have thanked us by outsourcing the jobs for which we've worked so hard to set Aflac apart as the industry leader. We are the reason behind the success - not the execs. But they certainly reap all the benefits of our labor. To them, we are nothing. Many of us will be part of the major #aflaclayoffs over the next 6-12 months. Why? So the Amos's and the execs can continue to have MORE. They aren't satisfied with their own extravagant salaries...they want to steal ours too. #aflacgreed is the core culture. And if you haven't been looking at the local job market, you should. When all of us #aflaclayoffs hit the Columbus job market, it will be flooded. If we're lucky, we'll be able to land a job that allows us to keep our homes and other things we've worked hard to achieve. But the reality is a lot of us will be forced to take anything available...likely a significant cut in pay...in order to feed our families. I don't know about all of you, but I'm sick of covering for this corrupt company while they get rich off my sweat labor. I'm sick of seeing all of the execs celebrated for being great leaders, when the reality is those leaders are selfish, greedy, and abusive. The #aflacdysfunction is crippling. The mentorship provided by those "leaders" consists of teaching naive followers how to climb the ladder by getting in line and supporting and promoting the abusive practices of the greedy leaders. Insulting.

Aflac execs, shame on you. Aflac supervisors, managers, sr. managers, and directors who cover for those execs and carry out their bidding, shame on you. You are not leaders.

I sincerely hope #ledgerenquirer #forbes #ethisphere will pick up this story and report the real news. Sadly, like most media, they only report #aflacfakenews

Those that cover up the truth and help those high powered execs take advantage of the rest of us are just as guilty and unethical as the ones they cover for. I hope they lose sleep over the way they treat human beings as property to be exploited for their financial gain, then deposed of like garbage when a cheaper way to get even richer presents itself. Seriously...when do they reach the point of saying "I have enough...I am satisfied with my multi-billion dollar bank account." It is complete BS for anyone to say "this is just business." This company touts the fact that they are family owned and based on family principles. The truth is they are driven by pure greed with no regard for the low profile laborers who helped them reach that millionaire/billionaire status. Even though all of the execs are financially secure for the rest of their lives, they are willing to take the salaries of those of us barely supporting our families to make themselves even richer.

And we all know that the company is not in financial trouble...simply based on the quarterly earnings reports and press releases. The #aflaclayoffs might be more understandable if the company were taking drastic measures to save the company. But that simply isn't the case. The company decided to lay people off as a result of greed.

Aflac's only philosophy related to layoffs is to LIE about them and deceivingly call them displacements. The Amos's and their "yes" men and women are shameful in their cruel manipulation of honest people. They intentionally mislead the public..and unfortunately, too many people are desperate to keep their jobs so they either keep silent or cover up the corruption and unethical business practices of the company and its leadership. By doing so, the "puppet" employees make it possible for the abuse of honest people to continue. The result is the execs keep padding their bank accounts making well over $300k...while the puppets are reduced to begging for a modest 2% raise.

Why is it that the news reports "ONLY 30 people impacted?" Are those 30 (more like 50+) less important than the masses? Are the children and spouses of those LAID OFF employees minimized because they aren't in the majority? It's incredibly insensitive and wrong to minimize the devastation created by Aflac to the impacted employees and their families. While it's true that aflac employs over 4500 people, the company is still guilty of LAYING OFF people and lying about it by calling it a displacement...all for the gain of a very rich company. The "little people" don't matter...only the wealthy execs.

If you weren't impacted by the recent #AFLACLAYOFFS, congratulations. But don't be so arrogant as to say the company is ethical and treats its employees well. The company is selective and discriminating in which employees it chooses to treat well. If you blindly worship the corrupt leaders, you will do well at the company...until they no longer have use for you. No one is exempt from being a scapegoat.

It would be great to see the true story trend on social media and the internet.
