Highmark wants to buy out 300 positions Friday, February 19, 2010 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Highmark Inc., Pittsburgh's largest health insurer, is offering buyouts - "voluntary resignation programs" - to its employees in hopes of cutting its workforce by 300 positions. The buyout packages - being offered to management, business operations support, claims processing, and administrative and clerical staff -- are part of a larger plan to reduce operating expenses by approximately $20 million in 2010. When asked if layoffs would be an option if Highmark couldn't find 300 people to resign, a company spokesman said "Highmark cannot say what the company's next steps will be until we say how many employees take advantage of this offer."

The fact I was an RM2 escapes you obviously, and what that implies. Badeye posted on 2007-01-30 16:42:29 ET Reply Trace Sad it true. I thought Obama signed an EO ending the tax-credits to companies which moved their jobs overseas. Or does that have to go through congress? Either way, I am happy SOME effort is being put forth to stop this insanity. My main gripe against Republicans is their ass-kissing to big-business.
Goldi-Lox: You're one dumb-fucking bitch.
Highmark was planning this last Fall...they are a customer of mine, the guy I talk to is in his mid40's and he's a kid compared to those around him.
