But the‌ writing was on the⁢ wall for months as the company ⁤tried to cut⁢ costs.

“No matter how much ⁣work we had, it was⁢ working off of bare bones,” Putman told Al‌ Jazeera⁤ English.

Late last year, the insurance giant announced it would lay​ off hundreds of employees, including Putman.

“When you are reporting to the board, the less headcount you ⁤can show that ​looks ‌better for ‍them,” Putman said.
