Thread regarding Humana Inc. layoffs

Understandable that employees, stockholders, and customers are angry!

You must agree that it is understandable everyone is angry - in the last few months we have seen dedicated and caring people who really wanted to help Humana and its customers succeed. Those who remain are nervous since people were let go just because of a sweeping decision - nothing they could control or would they underperforming employees. HR is not helping - there are open positions and they are not helping hiring managers bring some of these folks into these open positions.

I'm still here and I am here because I was interested in helping seniors - but it is hard when I'm watching us deny them care and making them fight for benefits. It has been extremely difficult watching the people I saw give so much to the organization leave and some slackers who took credit but did nothing are still here!

I know this happens all the time but knowing that does not make it any easier! It is just hard to work in an underperforming organization - at any company going through this, it is toxic until it settles down. It just hasn't been good for years and years!

Please don't tell me to "just quit" - I care about my customers / patients! I care about my coworkers! And, the reality is that it is not just as simple as "just quit" - we all have to have an income to survive. We are allowed to be sad, mad, stressed, concerned, fearful, and hopeful - or any emotion we are feeling - we are allowed to be human!

Use the heck out of your school benefits or guild. Get education in other areas and grow where you can and learn a new skill. Especially if it's a benefit you have never used. It's money /benefit going down the drain. If you dont use it you loose it. At least do that so if you get cut you have another kind of certificate or degree under your belt.

It does seem that the change coming will be BIG - Humana acquired, much more restructuring and/or creating a new Humana, etc. That is also hard for everyone - how do you plan your career and goals when you can't predict the future? Maybe this is the biggest part of why everyone is having such a hard time - we know change is coming we just haven't honestly been told the vision for the future so we can't plan or control for ourselves to adapt to the new future!
