Unum is further reducing it's domestic information technology workforce in lieu of offshore workers and contractors. A savings of $5,000,000/annual was quoted but no headcount of people was given. This seems very callous given the current state of... —  read more 

They have brought in a mostly Indian staff to run IT and laid off people 50 and older to replace with mostly Indian colleagues from Waste Management. When I talk to friends who are still there, they are miserable. It was a sorry place to work for the... —  read more 

Been at Unum almost 20 years, and learned 5/10/19 my job is being eliminated and my duties absorbed by others in the department. This was the first time in my history here that I did not receive an annual raise; the company claims they are moving... —  read more 

I am a current employee and feel embarrassed to work here. Nobody trusts management anymore and why should they? They get rid of older more experienced employees at the higher end of the salary scale for cheap inferior overseas labor. Employee morale... —  read more 

IT was just hit hard again by a round of layoffs. They got rid of old Managers/Officers and got new ones in and within months, here came the layoffs! As usual, get rid of employees and hire Contractors to take their place. So much for loyalty.

Got the news yesterday, which really just connected the dots for everyone that they have been strategically LYING to us for months. Three options given: Take an offer for rebadging or agree to stay and train Pajeet or get no severance.

Executive leadership is not interested in a sustainable or growth strategy. They have a senior VP in charge of supply management who denigrates his staff and forces vendors to use an payment program that costs them an extra 2-3%. The vendors pass the... —  read more 

They have started outsourcing the infrastructure teams in IT. The announcement is tomorrow. Not bringing in help like they said. Get ready more is coming.

How are things developing. A love fest?

Attention Unum leadership: We know all about the ridiculous lies you are telling your employee population regarding "attrition-based" outsourcing. The Watchdogs have your scent again. Bark! Bark!

The people with whom I work have expressed greater anxiety since the announcement on Tuesday than earlier. The lack of firm commitment by the senior management to fully cancel this outsourcing plan has everyone assuming that this is just another... —  read more 

The Unum CIO held a meeting yesterday to announce that they were backing off of the significant outsourcing plan. We will now use external partners "strategically." There were a number of questions trying to determine if this was simply a... —  read more 

Unum Board of Directors, have you considered replacing the CIO? The internal feedback is consistently poor. Morale is at an all-time low. The IT employees have little or no confidence that the CIO can right the ship as she is the person who steered... —  read more 

I don't know how much longer I can take the threat of outsourcing. It is affecting my health and my marriage. My wife is begging me to just quit. This threat has been hanging over our heads for about a year now, and it has taken its toll on all of... —  read more 

Can Unum not learn from past outsourcing attempts? We tried this with IBM and ACS in the early-mid 2000's. Both initiatives crashed and burned. Why does the current executive leadership think the 3rd attempt will have any type of long-term success?... —  read more 

Change your passwords to something very complex. Someone tried to hack my Twitter account. I don't know if it is random or if my company is behind it. At this point, I would not rule anything out. Make sure that you do not include any details that... —  read more 

I don't know how much longer I will be a Unum employee as our CIO referenced employee communication by the end of 1Q would happen. This week in an all employee town hall meeting, our VP of IT Operations indicated that It may be weeks away. It seems... —  read more 

Lesson number one: The first of many ways to accurately describe Unum's board and paid for leadership, (and very possibly, local media outlets). Alphabetized for your convenience. Keep preaching to us about our ethics in the light of your lack of... —  read more 

So far all rumors that Unum has rejected in the media as hearsay or speculation have come about. First Finance, then Corp Real Estate (these have already happened), IT is next and then Benefits. Keep your eye on the news and you'll see these rumors... —  read more

A friend of mine told me about this site, and it is wonderful to have a place wherre we can all be "candid." That is what our management tells us they want, but whenever someone does speak what is on their mind it is not received well by management... —  read more 

I can't afford to lose my job. I have only been with with company a relatively short time, but my children depend on me to provide. Unum, please don't send our jobs to India! Think about your employees instead of your bank accounts.

I am so glad to see more fellow employees and people speaking out on Unum's deliberate deception of their employees, investors, local communities and country. Betrayal of their fellow Americans not withstanding, I certainly do not want anyone outside... —  read more 

Unum has plans to outsource thousands of employees from all areas of the company and move their jobs 'offshore'. They will be laying people off in small batches over the next couple of years to avoid press and mandatory state reporting. Shame on you... —  read more

We'll see what happens but Unim will do better I hope and we will not see job cuts

Do we have more information about 2015 layoffs at UNUM?

Hello, I am considering to apply for a job at Unum (good skills match) and I was wandering if someone can tell me what your vacation policy is. It's my understanding that there are no layoffs currently, please confirm this too as my current company... —  read more 

100+ cut - MetLife Bloomfield

They just lost a few big customers and I hear more are leaving both small and large. I would not be surprised if there are layoffs

I heard that there will be a big round of layoffs in late 2013 or early 2014 - do you know what groups will be affected?

I worked @ Unum from 1998 thru 2005. I was on of VERY few who actually resigned. I cannot understand how they attract the quality employees they do.
