Any thoughts on potential layoffs this week or next prior to the holiday?

Anyone have any insight as to what is going on with Home & Community? Things feel off in general since layoffs happened the week before last. Multiple meetings have been cancelled. It’s a very stressful and tense environment right now, feels like... — read more

Is Nov 10 going to bring big news for some?

Unlike most people here, none of us from my small and rather insular team want to leave Optum. We work normal hours, are compensated well for it, and our boss keeps telling us we're safe. He has no reason to be lying, at least none that I know. I... — read more 

Any word on potential November or December layoffs? Dates? Roles? Departments?

How long did it take for you to get your payout?

like every good worker bee I use Copilot to sp-t out slop to send up the chain reporting on what's going on. Well, when chatgpt digs deep it finds stuff like "contingency planning" and "succession planning" SD will be out of OI around Q4/Q1. Expect... — read more

Is he the guy orchestrating layoffs?

I've spent months picking up extra work while my team keeps losing people, and this latest layoff has finally pushed me over the edge. I don't see a reason to keep giving everything to leaders who won't support the people doing the work.

I'm going to be optimistic for a change and believe that we've have our fair share of layoffs for this year and that November and December will be layoff-free. Usually I'm the local Debbie Downer, but I'm honestly too tired right now. I need to... — read more 

As they say, no one is irreplaceable. So let those that are ready to leave do so voluntarily. Step aside and let others keep their jobs. Stating that too much talent will be lost is so not true. It is all going to be done by AI or going offshore... — read more
