Layoff-Optum site reporting
They are saying layoffs Mid Sept for some and Mid Oct for others on Optum side...shared services, wellmed, ect. What does it look like for UHC/UHG? Should we be expecting the same. The Steve H email makes me think we should.
Voluntary severance with RTO and unemployment
I am getting some unclear information on whether one can get unemployment if taking this severance. A lot of policies for unemployment state that if one voluntarily leaves, they may be ineligible for unemployment.
Crazy question
With all the layoffs yesterday why was there no WARN letter sent out?
Is it because most of the layoffs were remote workers so there were not enough layoffs at one particular location to meet the WARN eligibility threshold?
Do SVP and above get a voluntary severance option?
I only see the severance package being offered to VPs and below. Is there any sort of similar options for SVPs and above? Or would they have to leave without a package if the RTO doesn't work for them? Just curious.
What does subsidized cobra mean?
I'm considering the severance package but am wondering if anyone knows what subsidized Cobra means? I assume our bi-monthly payment towards health insurance would dramatically increase? Especially when a family is on your account?
File for unemployment benefits?
What's the consensus? This is my first time being laid off in my career. Any guidance helps.
Nosey parker
I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way — I’m genuinely curious to understand how conversations landed and the shifts this week. Which functions have been most affected, and if your title changed, what did that look like for you?
I’ve heard a little about individuals moving into a different FoP but not much beyond that, so just trying to get a clearer picture from your perspective before the meeting on the 10th
From a fellow EMEA colleague trying not to twiddle thumbs
does the oracle job give you an error?
every time I try to apply for a job on the website I get some kind of strange error about contacting the system administrator...
Remote Only
So the company is going to can all remote only positions and won’t hire for any in future? Even if you are not anywhere near an office? Or is RTO only for hybrid workers and remote being removed for them?
Is it worth it to negotiate the severance package?
I was offered a severance package of 2 weeks per year of service. Was wondering if anyone had successfully negotiated more weeks per service and if there was any way they would match the 401k for this year.
Any News on MDC Database Layoffs?
Does anyone know when the MDC Database organization will be affected by the layoffs?
When does CL’s org get hit?
CL has his All Hands scheduled early October, has anyone heard anything about when/if he goes off?
Anyone know if the Right Now folks are still there or did they get chopped?
I saw someone say the CX group that got moved under Chris is untouched so far, but can anyone still at Oracle comment about the Right Now product folks? Wondering if they were protected or not.
Hiring freeze STOP
Does anyone have any info about when the hiring freeze will stop?
Are town halls ever useful?
Do they ever allow questions that are not pre-screened?
Now that another round is done
Is anybody else already thinking about when we'll learn about more layoffs?
Distribution centers
Is the China Grove, North Carolina DC open yet? Also, during Q2 sales release it was mentioned that more stores as well as DC’s will be closing. Any idea which DC intend to close?
It’s definitely over?
All exit conversations have happened.
Many people have an option to exit or get demoted, and those people were given 48 hours to choose. Thus more exits may happen, but initiated by conversations that happened on Tuesday.

Fully Remote Engineer
I was hired as a fully remote engineer 2 years ago.
There is no campus nearby.
There's been rumors that fully remote will be the next to go.
I need the money.
Anyone have any insights of what's coming down the line for fully remote engineers.
It feels ok here? Am I nuts?
I'm on the marketing team and my skip hasn't called us back to the office yet. Personally I'm not going to celebrate the ELT or cheer on RTO but honestly the day to day still feels just fine, like I don't feel a g-n on my back and the people are still fine. I don't feel doom and gloom on by day to day here, that's just me. Feels like any regular company in 2025 although sometimes I do sigh ok boomer at the all hands to myself but it still feels ok as a whole. Going on 2 years here
How long will we have to wait?
How much stressing, worrying, and constant anxiety do we have to go through before they finally tell us who is being laid off and when? I honestly cannot think of many things worse than being stuck in limbo like this for weeks or even months, waiting to find out if our livelihoods are about to be taken away.
Hush little baby
Don’t say a word.. Davy’s gonna buy you a mockingbird.. and if that mockingbird doesn’t pay… you’ll get to keep your benefits and LP. ASK: does anyone know how many huckleberries got demoted and how their pay/ pay progress was impacted? Why is that not all over the media? Career earnings stunted in STL and TEMPE by major employer
