Do the bare MINIMUM..
Leadership and management do the same for you, stop going above and beyond. Those that do are not rewarded, you'll get the same results if you work hard vs skate by. Don't let them take your life outside work away from you. No more on call, no more... — read more

E&I layoff, how large?
Does anyone know how large the E&I layoff was? We have lost 3 people in our department, not sure about others or if this is only one of many waves. Morel is low with many who weren’t laid off receiving 0 raise and 0 bonus, a slap on the face and an... — read more
Does anyone still have any motivation left?
I sure don't. It's just a paycheck, with no hope that raises would even keep up with inflation. Between offshoring, AI hype, zero growth paths, and the constant threat of being cut for no reason other than bottom line, why even try? Working hard... — read more

Reorganizations and Change Management
One thing that Optum lacks is Change Management processes. They will reorganize teams and expect people to get on board or even understand the new function. And then wonder why morale and performance is low. And with the RIFS happening good people... — read more

What happened to the Wellmed IT leadership, did they all go back to Optum? I was laid off from Wellmed two months ago and I am happy to be moving on. The WM leadership face planted that business in to the ground!

Where are we in this mess?
Does anyone know how many people have been cut total? How many more to go before this "restructuring" is done? Are we done or not? I just want a date when I can stop being terrified every morning.
Last regular salary payment and severance pay
I know that when someone gets laid off, they have a term date, typically two weeks after the date of layoff. So how does regular salary and severance payment works? Are these two weeks paid as regular salary or part of severance, and how long might... — read more
How is paying less (and less and less) and laying off staff affecting Optum's culture.
This is a rhetorical question. I think we'll, for once, have a thread where people agree on the response.
Something new....
For those of you who landed your next best opportunity and are out of this purgatory....any tips?
We're famous....at least the word is out

Home and community Optum town hall
Why was the town hall for 3/5 cancelled
Top talent has already left Optum years ago
No offense to the people who are still here, many of them are just amazing, but in aggregate, top talent has already left Optum years ago
Best thing that could have happened
I might be out of a job right now, but being let go from that toxic dump was honestly a gift. The culture was so fake and draining. I'd rather struggle financially than ever go back to that atmosphere.
EP office badge swipes
Does a “badge swipe” count if you only badge at the front doors, or do you have to also badge at the turnstyle? Asking for a friend
Always having to worry about layoffs is exhausting
It's a wonder any of us can get any work done. It's unhealthy and ki-ls morale. If we had better leadership, they'd realize they're destroying the entire company like this.
Women’s History Month Kickoff call
Why is a man leading this call? All you can see is his face on the screen. He is controlling the dialogue and trying to relate to women’s experiences. So sad UHC and Optum. But typical of this company.
Service Now employee RIF
Heard there was a large chunk of users primarily former allina people gutted. Anyone know if it went beyond them?
