There are probably many important reasons why this company has not considered voluntary severance package… What are your thoughts?

Does anyone know for sure when the date for the next RIF is? I heard it will be the week of April 3 but then heard the week of March 27.

Are most being let go too?

Grapevine (reliable grape) says another round of layoffs March 30 or 31st.

Anyone still waiting on the client to review your background check?

So.. after being transitioned over to Optum, if we are told in April there is no position for us, how will the layoff/severance work?

I haven’t had time to look at the Welcome center portal through Optum and I saw they are going to withhold one’s week pay for the April 14th deposit! What do they except us to do?! How am I supposed to pay my bills? No bonus and higher premium rates!... — read more

I heard today’s layoff was on hold. Not sure if for everyone or just certain departments. I wish they would just rip the band-aid off. Until the next one they’ll continue to suck the life out of us. Neil is a doucher.

If anyone needs to be laid off it should be the managers. Way too many. Way too many that do nothing or know nothing.

I was told that if the transition letter wasn’t received yesterday or at some point today, we are part of the big RIF. Any insight into that? Some say it’s in alphabetical order, but I know people who received it and some who did not.

No one on my team has either… no reason to freak out I guess…

So if I'm currently a level 2 what will I be under Optum?

As the title says, received transition letter and background check request today. Does that mean I am in the clear on layoffs for the alleged March round of layoffs?

I am so anxious about this week that I haven’t even thought of an interview I’m supposed to do today. I don’t feel like doing it because I have work to do still. I know that optum is more cut throat but I’m waiting for my transition letter and I... — read more 

Let it begin, transition week, background checks & layoffs (per what is being said on here). Anxiety is at a all time high. I decided if I lose my job, I'm not looking for another WFH job until after summer!

Does anyone but me think that even if you get transitioned, you will have to worry about losing your job every single month?

So Optum is saying we will be given a new job title that will fit what we're currently doing with a grade level pay that meets a salary based on comparable jobs & comparable pay, well I'm making about $4.00-$5.00 an hour under that, and I don't think... — read more 

Has any other divisions other than TES received merit letters? Getting a little concerned since next week we are supposed to be receiving the letters from Optum about current position role within Optum.

Not that it’s great but March ends Change’s fiscal year and usually in July we would have been given our merit raises…is that a flushed reality? Also noticed in April United is holding one weeks pay as we merge to Optum’s payroll cycle. So, no... — read more 

I’m looking on LinkedIn. Neil the ceo has put that he started working at Optum in Feb 2023. We have merged but we haven’t become optum employees right?

Getting hit with incredibly bad insurance, loss of PTO time, float days, after looking over the new benefits I am shocked at what we're offered. Still need to make it through next week with a offer letter from optum to see if we still have jobs.
