Employees said they left departmentwide meetings Feb. 17 where they were offered a severance plan. The workers estimate around 30,000 employees are eligible for the severance option.
These reports were confirmed by Health Payer Specialist. The company's benefits operations unit is one of the divisions offered the buyout, CNBC reported. Workers have until March 3 to take the buyout. They then risk getting laid off at the company's discretion by May 1, though some employees may be kept through mid-November.
