Non-core sell off?
Does anyone know which non-core BU will sold next? Any confirmed buyers or rumors anyone is hearing? My area has been totally silent about it...
Radio Silence Since LP’s Video
Things feel eerily quiet.
Weird Silence
Didn't get the termination email but management has been quiet. No communication, no meetings scheduled. Confusion everywhere.
very weird silence across slack channels after this biggest layoff in oracle history
no one is talking its just a sad a weird feeling across teams
Nothing heard about NetSuite?
Is NetSuite not affected on the 31st?
Will there be an email sent for this round?
Or are they doing it silent
It's the 16th. Anything going on?
Nothing where I’m at. And I haven’t heard anything yet.
2 weeks later
Did everyone see that thoughtful message that came thru Teamworks last week about the United States and Israel attacking Iran and starting a full fledged war?
Yeah me neither.
Is the Silence a Sign of Upcoming Layoffs?
For those who are connected with upper-level management, should we expect layoffs soon?
Things feel unusually quiet lately. It’s hard to tell whether it’s just a normal cycle or something else, but the silence feels a bit unsettling.
Not trying to spread rumors...just looking for perspective if anyone has insights.
No point in trying too hard at this point
I'm curious what my raise will be this year considering that my group was moved to a director who has been MIA for the last year - minus his 5-7 minute 1x1s with everyone. No clue what we actually do, no idea what each individual does. The only info he gets is from our previous manager - our PM now - and I suppose and hope new manager dictates raises based off of old manager...
Not expecting anything great but hoping for a 4% lmfao. LIkely it'll be a meaningless 3.2 but I guess that'll offset some taxes...
I mean, what's the actual point in being a hard worker if your manager is never around, promotions are MIA and ultimately primarily given to those outside the USA? Or the fact that raises aren't even above inflation rates?
I love my job but cmon, I might as well do the bare minimum if promotions are essentially impossible to get and raises are laughable lol.
Super quiet lately
Hmmm. Somethings brewing.
The silence is worrying
There's been almost no talk about layoffs for a while. Instead of calming me down, that silence makes me more anxious. Are they planning something big and just keeping it quiet?
Where’s Callie?
Has anyone heard from Callie since she destroyed TFB?
So where are all the Valentine's gifts?
I. E. Layoffs
Haven't heard a thing.
Anybody affected so far?
Complete silence on my end so far, but I know it's coming. I'm just trying to figure out if it started yet anywhere.
SB Email just come through
And so it begins, if your manager has gone quiet you know why
Layoff silence
Almost 600 employees impacted this week by layoffs, and not one word from USAA about it, as an employee I find that extremely disturbing.
Why is nobody mentioning these layoffs?
I could barely find any news on it, and I looked, trust me.
Seems like EviCore employees were hit especially hard
Pretty much every team experienced JEs. Lost a lot of tenured, experienced people. Doesn't even feel that great to still be here with things looking so grim. Still no official announcements from leadership - just word of mouth.
Next round is in progress
Several CS3 leads were impacted, Patient Cloud also appears to be another target area - they're doing it very quietly but people are noticing...
Are company and union still talking?
According to an email sent in December. They were set to talk this month. Did they? Are they still? I don't understand why the complete silence all the time by the company and the union. I can see why they wouldn't give specific details while negotiating but they could at least give us the most general description of the current situation, right?
Getting nervous before earnings
It seems we always have bigger layoffs right around earnings time and I’m getting nervous. There is an absence of transparency where there was in the past, speaking for myself only. Earnings call on Feb 4
Why no official news from the company
Are we going to be getting official memo saying how many were laid off ??
Isn’t it funny how quiet it is about bonuses?
By this point we’re usually given at least a target or some directional guidance. Instead, nothing. Total silence. That’s not an accident, it’s deliberate. When leadership stops communicating, it’s usually because the message would land badly. Something’s clearly being set up behind the scenes, and employees are the ones being left in the dark yet again.
SE AD Axe
It’s been quiet today. The the axe fall on the Southeast ADs? And before somebody says it, my stupidvisor doesn’t know!
Severance payout
How long to get lump sum? I sent weeks a. Go and have not heard back.
Status of Ricoh
Any new rumors or anything that’s going on with RICOH? I am a long time employee and there’s never been such silence, slow product releases, and lack of senior management interaction.
Sales Engineering Updates?
Just like at Nutanix, all quiet from leadership. Boombox pumpin; up too loud!
Store closings and layoffs
Usually around second week of February from experience
Everything is being kept tight lipped tho.
………..
Silence is all we hear. Org changes all over. What’s happening?
It’s so quiet it’s scary
They must still be secretly working on stuff behind the curtain
For Pete’s sake, retire!
I know it’s easy to point fingers when things are not going well but where was our fearless leader 2025?
While the ship was sinking in 2025, he was no where to be found.
From the start, he took care of all his friends regardless of whether they had the experience or not to work the position.
This is the same guy who told us nothing would change when we were transitioned over to CUSA other than our email. He said it would be a good move for the company to help align support. Can anyone still employed at Canon USA (formerly CSA) say things have improved with the transition?
When he felt intimidated, he created useless buffers by promoting his old friends from Chicago. When he felt people were pushing him out he turned up the heat and forced them out.
Anyone could have run this company during the good times. It’s the tough times that show who the true leaders are. It’s safe to say our leader played and hide and go seek for this entire year. Maybe someone should tell him the game is over and it’s time to leave Melville and buy a one way ticket back to Chicago.
Good luck Mason, it’s safe to say you inherited a mess at the hands of your colleague.
This will be a horrible week
I was hoping that whatever happens, it would be done in one day so we can move on. But with how little info we're getting and how slowly things are developing, it seems this will be a week-long affair, at least. I'm not looking forward to all the stress and anxiety one bit.
The silence is too loud
Whenever leadership goes quiet, we all know something’s brewing. And it's been very quiet lately.
Just a thought
hink it’s time someone asks the real questions that so many of us on the Medicare/Medicaid Member Services and Provider Services side of UnitedHealth Group are afraid to say out loud.
What is actually going on?
How much longer will any of us have jobs here in the United States?
Why can’t leadership just be transparent with us about the future instead of leaving entire teams in a constant state of uncertainty?
Every day we hear rumors, see teams shrinking, and watch responsibilities shift with no clear explanation. Many of us have built years of our lives around this company, serving members and providers with everything we have. We deserve honesty. We deserve communication. We deserve clarity about what direction this organization is taking and what it means for the people who keep it running.
How many of us are even left in the U.S. doing this work?
And why is it so hard to get straightforward information?
We’re not asking for miracles—just truthful communication and respect for the workforce that shows up every day despite the stress, fear, and unanswered questions.
UnitedHealth Group, we need answers.
We deserve transparency.
And we deserve better than silence.
Where is Sam?
Where is our CHRO when we need her tone deaf and inauthentic posts the most? Culture OS was bragged about and now she’s MIA during the most consequential time in decades? Maybe she’s mad she didn’t get a $4M retention bonus on the backs of thousands of lives ruined like her best buddies. Tough to say, but I am confident AI will guide her in whatever post she does to address us all eventually. And the spineless leadership will all like and repost it.
Voice of the Employee Survey
Has anyone actually heard from leadership (your boss, VPs, Presidents, etc) about the VoE survey at all?
They published a high-level review of the results and promised to talk about it with us, and here we are months later without a single word being said.
Any news on Layoffs?
Has anyone heard anything about any layoffs? Seems pretty quiet right now but reading about a lot of companies laying off
Has anyone done actual work these past two weeks?
I'm in corporate out of Basking Ridge. The place has been a ghost town. My boss and teammates have all been distant. I am seeing meetings cancelled left and right.
Serious question. When will the "new normal" start for those that make the first cut?
