LAUER LOCK: Variety Exposé Alleges Matt Lauer Trapped Female Employees, Exposed Himself



LAUER LOCK: Variety Exposé Alleges Matt Lauer Trapped Female Employees, Exposed Himself
Magazine's story paints Matt Lauer as a sophisticated predator.

NBC News claimed Wednesday that Matt Lauer was fired for a single incident of alleged sexual misbehavior stemming from the newscaster's coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. But an extensive expose, published later Wednesday in Variety magazine, portrays Lauer as more than just a one-time harasser.

According to the magazine, Lauer is a sophisticated sexual predator who cowed and embarrassed his female employees with sexually explicit gifts, and even had a button installed under his office desk so that he could lock unsuspecting women inside.

Variety's claims are downright shocking. According to one woman, Lauer gave a sex toy to a colleague as a present along with "an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her" — an experience that reportedly left the woman "mortified."

Another woman who spoke with Variety said that the anchor had a habit of exposing himself. Lauer, the magazine alleges, “Summoned a female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act.”

The article goes on to describe "games" that Lauer would play with his co-hosts and other female reporters, asking them to trade names of who they'd slept with (if they told him the name of one of their partners, he'd tell them one of his), and engaging them in rounds of "f*ck, marry, kill," where his embarrassed colleagues would have to listen as he described which of his co-workers he'd put in each category.

Perhaps most bizarre, Lauer, Variety claims, had something referred to as a "Lauer lock": Lauer "had a button under his desk that allowed him to lock his door from the inside without getting up … It allowed him to welcome female employees and initiate inappropriate contact while knowing nobody could walk in on him.”

At least two women reported that they were exposed to sexual harassment that involved the lock button.

Variety says that they spoke to "dozens" of women over the course of a two-month investigation, but Variety's reporters also say they didn't need to do specific interviews: that Lauer's behavior was an open secret among NBC employees and that management went out of its way to ignore Lauer's sexual impropriety.

"Management sucks there,” one source told the magazine. “They protected the s— out of Matt Lauer.”

UnitedHealth Slashes 138 Jobs in Delaware After Losing State Medicaid Contract



UnitedHealth Slashes 138 Jobs in Delaware After Losing State Medicaid Contract
by Sean Moran 28 Nov 2017
UnitedHealth Group will lay off 138 workers from its staff because the health insurer lost a contract to provide Medicaid services to Delaware citizens.

The staff reduction will bring the company’s Delaware offices down to 122 employees, although spokeswoman Jessica Buechler said that recently, UnitedHealth could rehire newly laid-off workers through open telecommuting positions.

Buechler also suggested that UnitedHealth Group will work with competing for health insurers to find jobs for their recently unemployed workers.

The Wisconsin-based insurance company will also reduce staff in Arizona by 381 workers.

The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) announced in September that it will not renew UnitedHealth’s contract to operate the state’s Medicaid Managed Care Program in 2018.

UnitedHealth and Highmark Health Options Blue Cross Blue Shield will run Delaware’s Medicaid Managed Care Program, which serves about 200,000 Delaware citizens.

Highmark and AmeriHealth will manage the state’s Medicaid Managed Care Program operations starting on January 1, 2018.

UnitedHealth does not sell individual health insurance on Delaware’s Obamacare health insurance exchange.

UnitedHealth reported revenue of $185 billion in 2016.

Delaware’s economy continues to stagnate; the state’s economy grew at 0.1 percent rate, the lowest growth rate in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

Delaware’s economy grew at the third-slowest rate of any station in the nation, according to a new report published Tuesday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Delaware’s job market has also struggled; unemployment in the state rose to 4.9 percent in August, which is above the U.S.’s 4.4 percent.
