Thread regarding Humana Inc. layoffs

Bleach girl : Cray GIF from Shecraycray GIFs

As I started work today I had a different feeling about my job and about Humana than I did last week. I was not laid off but my heart aches for those who were. I am a long term Humana employee and now I feel kinda betrayed. I know this is a business and this sort of thing happens in businesses. But I have worked extremely hard and given so much of myself to my job and the Humana members. I feel betrayed because I think this is happening due to poor management . I feel especially bad for the new hires who probably quit their other jobs just recently to come on board with Humana....a company that made lots of promises and painted this rosy picture of working here. And we all know that short term employment on a resume does not look good.... no matter what. Not that long ago we were told how H@H was saving Humana so much money because of fewer hospitalizations of our members. We all knew that changes in health care were going to happen. Yea... ACA is not medicare but if part of Humana is affected....then all of it is going to be affected in some way. But we all knew these changes were coming and I expected our Humana leaders to be able to plan and anticipate how those changes would impact the company. Just like how I try to plan and anticipate problems that my members may face. That is why they are paid the big bucks....and will continue to be paid the big bucks as they lay people off. Why did they let H@H get out of hand and lead it in a direction that is now causing it's destruction. I do blame MF ....and how dare they send out an email a month ago congratulating him on his new Humana job.....as he left us in the dust. Quit telling us how much you appreciate "everything we do" . I feel bad as I tell my members...."call me if you have any health or benefit concerns. I will be here for you" Because chances are I won't. Get your act together management....quit lying to us and leading us on. You are hurting your members, employees, families. Yea....this happens in the business world. But I expected better of you Humana leaders. And above all....don't act like you care....because I do not believe you really do anymore. Quit painting that wonderful picture on the Hi pages of what a wonderful company this is...because your employees are hurting right now...even the ones who were not laid off.

This has been the best, non layoff related thread yet. Dying over the Jerry Springer comment! The stress and pressure of all these layoffs has put us all over the edge. Sometimes you need to interact with Springer's guests to make you appreciate your own intelligence. 😀

Too bad you can't post images on here. Where's michael jackson eating popcorn when you really need him?

@Q6AGpdW-1lsl CRAY, CRAY. Seek help.

Wow...If there are layoffs at Humana hopefully some of the nuts posting here are impacted...looks like Humana will be better off if this is the way these people handle issues/conflict/problems...bad hires and the company and members will be better off. IMHO of course. Bottom line is if you get swept up as part of a reduction in force (RIF) either all of the positions doing that work are going away so it doesn’t matter if you’re a rock star at your job...your role is gone. If some of the positions doing your work are going away, those rated lower at will be impacted...Either way, do your job well and you will either not be impacted or will be able to bounce back and get another role at the company (i.e. “redeploy”) or one at a competitor. Be an adult and get control of your hysteria...yes, layoffs s--- but have a plan B through E in case.

You should be using your time to find a job as well. Again it’s okay to disagree, now carryon! Just know if you come for me I don’t play fair! The world isn’t fair so stop trying to lecture and put your energy else sugar plum!

Threat indicates violence. You can dress it up any way you wish, but suggesting someone drink bleach shows your true colors. My suggestion, stop feeding into it. You are making yourself look worse and even more ignorant. Today is a new day and a new start. Put your big girl panties on and behave like an adult. Use this time to find a new job. Best of luck to you. Remember karma is a powerful force.

The person was not threatened I gave a recommendation. Saying I’ll make you drink bleach is a threat. I never said that, I made a statement. I’m not violent and wish harm to no one. Furthermore, I’m fine with people disagreeing with my point of view but one should be mindful of their choice words they use and ignorant was harsh in my opinion and the person could have used a better choice of a word same as I. Don’t ruffle my feathers and I won’t ruffle yours simple as that.

At least it's a different response than the usual drinking of the kook-aid....a bit scary someone has such violent tendencies if someone disagrees, so , in all seriousness, if you're feeling threatened when someone disagrees with your opinion, maybe it's a chance to hear a different perspective..it may be valid or not from your point of view, but to threaten people because they disagree with you? Hadn't history shown us time after time examples of what happens with that ? It's a s---y situation, it brings out the best and worst in all of us, how we deal with this...sometimes good, sometimes bad, the whole Kubler-ross shbang.....but, let's try to learn fro each other, help each other through this, not threaten bodily harm for disagreement

IMHO yall are nucking futs,

@Q6AGpdW-1fnu LOL! You're to wait for "it". Wait for it.....Wait for it....

So let me get this straight, it's better to tell someone to drink bleach that could make them very ill or potentially kill them then it is to be called ignorant? Death is kinder than name calling? You are offended by a simple word written by a stranger and now you want that person to take a fatal shot of bleach to make up for it? No one ever died from being offended. Walk away, don't engage. It's pretty easy! Personally I think the other poster is entitled to his/her opinion about you. Have a good night.

Trying the bleach out now. What am I to wait for?

@Q6AGpdW-1vhw Bleach for you too !

Usually when posting your opinion on a board such as this you would preface your statement with: IMHO (in my honest opinion). Otherwise it looks like you are trying to share facts. That is proper message board etiquette.

We’re laid off?

@Q6AGpdW-1ohi Education ( pontificate) AND entertainment...lol!

Yes you are allowed to pontificate all you want, but we are allowed to laugh. It's a natural response to pontification.

By the way educated poster were you laid off?

Opinion a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Just because of your last post take a double shot of bleach. I’m entitled to an opinion just as you are.

Spewing opinion that has no factual basis = ignorance. Spewing opinion and trying to make others believe it is fact= ignorance. If you are educated you should know that a hypothesis needs empirical data to prove it. Otherwise you are just making up crap to get yourself elected president. 😂

Watch it @Q6AGpdW-1zct ! You're about to be threatened with bleach!

We can't let facts stand in the way of emotional outburst!

Spewing opinion that has no factual basis = ignorance. Spewing opinion and trying to make others believe it is fact= ignorance. If you are educated you should know that a hypothesis needs empirical data to prove it. Otherwise you are just making up crap to perpetuate the narrative that our current President is evil.

@Q6AGpdW-1vpf LOL! Well said ! And it's CLEAR which posters who would be guests of Jerry Springer!

Come on, this is sheer entertainment. It's like guests on Jerry Springer trying to have an intellectual debate with guests on CNBC.

@Q6AGpdW-1ohb Your post was IGNORANT!

Definition of ignorant: lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.

Giving your OPINION and presenting it as truth without facts and information IS IGNORANCE. Go back to school. Or ask for your tuition back.

Tell your husband educational people go there sometime. It’s okay to disagree but without calling someone’s post ignorant. Those are my thoughts and if type it or speak it and you disagree doesn’t make me ignorant.

Please guys put some kindness in your hearts. The people in the small town outside of San Antonio would love to be sitting at home posting on a website instead of having to grieve their family members. We need to put this in perspective.

This is the funniest thread I have ever read on here! I can't believe people are actually blaming Trump for this. The comments are hilarious and so stupid. I can't believe these are educated people saying Trump caused this mess or the layoffs started as soon as he became president. I had to read this nonsense to my husband and he is rolling on the floor with laughter. He said, "Do you really work with these people? How did they pass their boards being this dumb?"

It wasn’t auto correct it was intentional since the person below wants to call me ignorant. Everyone has a right to their opinion and the poster calling someone post ignorant because he/she disagree with my post should drink a little bleach and wait for I . If I disagree I do so without the name calling. But please know if you come for me I’m coming right the f--- back!

=@Q6AGpdW-1wyi.. I said your STATEMENT was IGNORANT, not you. Read much or is it a comprehension issue? And your profane response demonstrates your emotional immaturity.

Humana and our members are better off without you and try seeking work in a pre-school. You'd test well on an employment exam in that environment.

Drink bleach? Really? The issue is humana, a business, did layoffs, it doesn't matter if it's Obama, trump or buzz lightyear, a company did layoffs. It's not shocking, it's been happening for years in a crappy economy, most people are impacted by it more than you realize, the days of working 25 years until you retire from one place is rare....but telling someone to drink bleach???? I'm hoping that's an auto correct issue

F---er why are you mad? I’m not going back and forth with you. So f--- you and good night!

@Q6AGpdW-1wyi that's the thing, it's just an opinion. An ignorant one based on zero facts. The first layoff took place one month after Trump took office, before he could have any effect on healthcare. We are still living with the same healthcare laws that Obama put in place, so I don't see how Trump could cause Humana at Home to fail! Trump hasn't touch Medicare or Medicaid since taking office. He actually promised not to touch it. The economy has shown tremendous improvements since Trump took office. Just check your 401k, I bet it's doing very well. The stock market had seen all time highs since Trump took office. So don't sit there blaming internal mismanagement on our President with facts.

#thrivingtogether

😂😉

@Q6AGpdW-1juh. Since you want to call me ignorant for sharing my opinion. Try this on for size B--ch drink bleach and wait for it!

Nobody is going to change anyone else’s mind on here. This is pointless.

Donald Trump is to blame for this mess!
