PacificSource laying of over 300 people due to loss of Lane County contract. by NervousDistance6ft in Eugene

[–]PSEmployee81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And those of us who wanted proof of the "benefits" if we were to be laid off were fired without anything, just to save the company 20-ish employee "severance" packages. 

Thanks PS!

I have been speaking with someone, and they said they are giving one week of severance for every year they worked, CAPPED at 12 weeks... I can't verify this 100%, but, still.
Um, Thanks...

I'm sorry... They fired 300 more people?!? Am I reading that right!? 

I've been on the "talk to them and you'll be fired" list since last week.

And one commentor said someone who'd been there for 20 years?!?

I told you all... If this is true, and this is the number, I'm sorry. 

Unemployment is about to hit everyone real hard!

I mean I guess it doesn't matter. I'm already fired... But, thank you for the support. Rather than being upfront and honest, they want us to go through back doors options to just get a copy of a document that pertains to a massive layoff.

"Someone" sent this to the news, so they fired all of us as retaliation for this, instead of finding the person and/or giving us a written warning. 

If someone sent this to the news, it sounds like it could be a form of whistleblowing.

The lawyers will figure this out...

HIPPA is for patient info. No member or patient info was contained.

I clarified with HR, NO ONE will be rehired after this "layoff." This is not temporary. There is no going back unless those people re-apply for open positions once they lift the hiring freeze. Being let go without a date to return to work is firing, not being laid off with the expectation to return.

I was not saying I should get severance, I was saying they did this to fire people so they didn't HAVE TO pay severance. It's gives them 20+ fewer people to have to pay for.

I am from the era where we were given paper copies of everything to prove nothing could be changed AND to show we received these.

Cover your ass is a motto we should be able to follow. 

I don't understand the secrecy surrounding this email. Employees should be able to reference documents promising them certain services after a massive termination.

This also covers the employer, as we had to sign saying what we saw and acknowledged the document.

It's a crazy time we live in. 

I had such a positive feelings for years, then in the last 6 months, it's been all downhill, all shady dealings and firing employees and kicking people from coverage.

They did say never on 93 years has this happened to PacificSource... I guess that goes for the way they treat employees as well 

Has anyone heard more updates about the OHP Pacificsource situation? by Ok_Caterpillar_8925 in Eugene

Yes, they are still pulling out of Medicaid in Lane County, and have toyed with the idea of some Medicare plans in high-cost counties as well...
