What exactly AI $2 billion spend is achieving? Is it another Block Chain MJ fiasco? Looks like wrapper around codex, claude code at best. Meantime layoffs are accelerating with a false promise and spend on AI

How are y’all doing? What’s the overall morale in your market? My manager said to not worry, I’m not sure I am trusting that. On the bright side, I am kind of looking forward to getting laid-off. Yes, weird thing to say but I’m taking that as a sign... — read more

Anyone heard of it? I talked to someone and they are meeting with folks from different departments to learn anout whay the departmentdoes. I never heard of it. Is this a program for folks that are about to get laid off but have no clue?

Why does every empty position sit around for four to six months before anyone fills it? Why do the rest of us on the team have to pick up the slack during that time?

Any word on Wellmed Texas layoffs? I believe everyone was safe the rest of this year but not sure any more

I'm dying to see if there is anybody who can say anything positive.

Look at it as an opportunity to leave this place for good with a safety net. Let's be realistic, how many other companies are as bad as Optum? I'm comfortable saying very few. So wherever you go from here should be an upgrade, even if it takes a... — read more

Our corporate overlords have decided 4th quarter earnings need a boost and they need bigger bonuses, nothing new. The leadership meeting last week contained a horrifying slide. They voted on cutting 50% of human “assets” by the end of the year.

Any idea what happened? Some security incident apparently?

Read on earlier posts that WellMed is planned to be sold by Optum by the end of the year, is that true?
