Lay-offs










Re: Lay-offs 2008

BCBSFL has laid off a number of people, many of them older who will probably have a tougher time getting a job than others. Has anyone felt they were being treated unfair out there?
Whether you received severance or not. Certain things were done that were not according to procedures that are required by the ADEA.
 








Many folks are gone or going.
Even managed care folks are getting whacked ... that is funny as MC is one of the 3 points of the strategic plan always touted to wall street.
This happens every August. It's to make some numbers. Expansion throughout the year and then pruning... but it can involve the stars too. Poor management decisions in all really.
Jim Whelan, Karen McFadden, both VP's, and some regional folks are gone.
No one is in market research, marketing, strategic planning, new assay development....
It's a huge company run like a mom and pop lab.

McFadden never left and Whelan is back? And the same old tired AVPs in the divisions are still in their same roles. Zzzzzz. Wow - some things never change.
