Of this job, where I have to make decisions I don't agree with every day, each one taking a small piece of my soul. Of my manager, who seems to care more about pitting us against each other than the substance of the work, thinking it’ll somehow earn... — read more 

For whatever reason, they don’t want to work anymore. Can they signify manager to have them in the laid off list. When is the latest to let them know (as layoff is normally planned ahead).

Please remember this if you’re second-guessing yourself. You were not fired. You were removed because of lousy leadership that can only make itself look good by getting rid of as many people as possible to make the numbers look better. That’s all... — read more 

The health insurance business is a mess, and no health-insurance company is a bigger mess than UnitedHealth Group UNH 1.61% . But with its shares down 17% this week, much of that mess may now be reflected in the stock price. The bad news started... — read more 

In case people have not heard the directors of several LOBs have granted remote work during the time when everything in Minneapolis is going down.

I just want to say how awesome and well needed housecalls department is. I had a call for a patient today and you guys are so organized and on top of things and such an important asset to this company!

I’ve been unemployed for 11 months, and watching people I know announce new jobs or promotions makes me feel smaller every time... I want to feel happy for them, but instead I’m left with envy, frustration, and a quiet sadness that doesn’t really go... — read more 

The harm it will cause to both clients and us will be incalculable. I won't even mention the craziness of the AI business model or the broader impact on people and the environment. Since it's already being forced upon us, it should be regulated into... — read more 

Well, this is something new. Hearing about an offshore VP of Software Engineering getting laid off this week in CE.

This is not a video game. These are people’s livelihoods on the line (both who work here and who the employees serve). This was the most out of touch townhall I have ever seen. Good luck to everyone

The he-l is he talking about hitting level 11 and treating this like a game. Beyond tone deaf.

Holy Cow this company is cooked. Absolutely rutterless townhall talking about AI. I wouldn't be surprised if this company chapter 11s in the next 3 years. And Optum is sold off for scraps

If we played a drinking game every time they say AI everyone would be drunk before lunch time. These people are so out of touch.

I cannot believe the words coming out from these so called leaders mouth. I guess as long as they can travel the world and enjoy in company’s cost - they don’t care. It will be another company that goes to ground.

Watching his d-mb face be all happy on this all employee meeting makes my blood literally boil. I want to punch the screen.

Have they started mailing tax forms yet?

Voluntary separation!!! Let those go that can take the impact better. Don’t force people out that need this job for the support of their families. Please. Listen to us.

I'm in pure "collect the paycheck" mode now. Minimal effort, zero overtime. The last year and a half have been a masterclass in how dedication is rewarded here. It isn't. My only remaining goal is to get a decent severance and never look back.

I do believe HC is essentially in trouble. With 2027 projected MA revenue change of 0.09% which indirectly affects 2026 projections, projected further MA membership attrition (up to 3 million), HC will inevitably shrink. “They’re choosing... — read more 

Coworkers laid off last week, this week I hear the product I work on is being gutted. Some will move to other areas, others will be let go. For the “lucky ones” that remain, it feels like we are left behind on a sinking ship. Lower 401k, no hopes for... — read more

Unh stock is getting crushed right before earnings. Layoffs are going to skyrocket even more here. Brutal

With 2/19 layoffs, wondering if those impacted will receive RRP?

Sending an employee survey the day after massive layoffs is so tone deaf and par for this company. No point in even filling them out as it’s obvious senior leaders don’t care.

Has anyone received their w-2 yet? Are they literally just going to wait til the 31st?

My heart goes out to everyone who was let go last week. With the economy and job market like this, I don't think the timing could be worse. The company's disregard for people's lives is shocking and cruel.
