Don't be fooled by Aflac's lie that it has never laid off employees. Aflac chooses to call its layoffs "displacements" but the end result is still the same. The company decides to eliminate jobs and secretly outsources functions to other countries, and the US employees at Aflac are "displaced" and told to find another job in the company within 30 days or they will be permanently terminated. Aflac's top leadership has a long history of questionable ethics and business practices. They are willing to break to the law and cheat their policyholders to increase the bottom line. Aflac is not committed to its employees or the policyholders. Aflac execs are greedy and only concerned about their own paychecks.

Major Columbus employer Aflac confirmed Thursday it is outsourcing some of its information technology department, with 45 people being “displaced.”
The supplemental health and life insurer, headquartered on Wynnton Road, said it is calling the move a “displacement,” rather than a layoff, because 30 of the IT staffers are expected to land jobs with a third-party vendor. The 15 other employees will be allowed to apply for 20 or so open jobs within the company. It said the Aflac positions were held open in anticipation of the announcement to employees Monday.
Aflac, which does business in the U.S. and Japan, declined to name the vendor it will be using to upgrade its aging IT systems, but said the company has agreed to set up a Columbus facility and hire as many as 30 of the former Aflac workers.
