Just wondering if anyone out there with connections or friends in HR or in higher up positions has heard anything else?? I am trying to continue to bring my best self to work every day, but my stomach is literally in knots and I feel sick when logging in every morning. I just want to know if it's me, and if so, that's fine. I just HATE the waiting game.

Sorry.. Just have to say this. Haven't we been pushed to believe in the "perfect experience ". Hard to create a "perfect experience" in this type of environment.
We have! 2017 for me has been the year of "I can't do anything right," whether it's saying the wrong thing on a call review or inheriting a bunch of roster reassignments with overdue calls. On top of worrying what I'll do wrong next, I get to worry about losing the job entirely. Awesome. I swear I was treated like a professional once, in what feels like a former life at this point. This year has s----d.
I think it was easier to the first round was due those people not meeting metrics or having attendance problems even though deep down inside we all knew better. This whole think stinks and we've all been treated like crap from the first round of layoffs to those of us hanging around waiting to get cut.
We were all tricked by the words "planned" layoffs. Guess these last couple rounds were not "planned".
Feeling sick seems to be a common theme for all of us. I also feel angry and betrayed because I believed Joe R. when he said--very earnestly--at the time of the April layoff that there would be no more layoffs in 2018. Was he kept in the dark about the grand plan, or was it a bald-faced lie on his part? The word "transparency" has become a four-letter word to me, thanks to Humana at Home. Very sad.
Touche...... Since March, I cannot sleep properly, feel depressed, lack motivation or ambition. Our workloads were increased nearly 40% performing the roles of multiple people with focus on performance, performance, performance. New programs and surveys have been added several times a week and it is to the point of feeling lost. There is no way to deal with this kind of stress, systems and technology change. Then decreasing population equals decreased workload. Finally, after the first bit of rest in months, comes this email blast on Friday. My head hurts. I feel nauseated and I am stressed. Now I can preach Healthful Information to my members. Tell them to balance activity and rest and take good care of themselves. Eat well. Sleep well. I can teach them stress management techniques. Such good ideas. Somehow, I think my performance is suffering. I have not a clue what may have caused this.
That was the beauty of me being cut the first round. It came out of nowhere. However, many of my friends have been lingering on..waiting and praying. It is torturous to watch them continue to work hard and still be completely stressed out. I wish you all well.
I'm about ready to throw up this morning. This stress level is not sustainable.
It's all of us feeling that way, you're not alone! I know about half my team contemplated calling off today, the tension and dread are so high. That, and we really don't know what to say to our members; hopefully someone will be calling you again to make sure you got your insulin?
We're hoping to know something soon, one way or another.
