Does anyone know if OptumRx Finance teams will be impacted with the next round of layoffs?

I know it's just a week left, but I don't trust them anymore so it wouldn't surprise me if they sprung something else on us.

It makes no sense to fire your most valuable workers to cut costs but here we are again.

If they really need to save money, they should look at the overpaid directors and VPs who contribute nothing. So many managers here are terrible at leading people. Letting them go would be a positive.

There’s no way to maintain mental health when layoffs happen back to back with no breathing room. We can’t relax or focus on our work because we know it’s never over, and more cuts are always coming in a few weeks. This is mental torture, plain and... — read more

Were there layoffs in care management this week and/or will that area get hit on 2/19?

Are we going to be getting official memo saying how many were laid off ??

## Recent Layoffs by Division at Optum This week, layoffs occurred within various divisions of Optum, significantly impacting several business units. Here’s a summary of the divisions affected: | Division | **Details of... — read more 

According to a previous post, next round 02/19. Can anyone confirm that this is correct? And who is expected to be laid off?

Just saying... Report Shows Rising Employee Layoff Fears A new INTOO/Harris Poll report reveals increased layoff anxiety among US employees. Over 61% of workers are concerned about job loss, a nearly 30% rise since 2019. Economic uncertainty... — read more 

Management or just the real workers ? Where?

Agent provocateurs get on here and incite fear every damn month. They probably don't even work here. This is why corporate should have a policy of transparency about upcoming layoffs.

I heard there were layoffs in rebadged (client to Optum) staff and MPP transition staff. Does anybody know the clients they support and roles and the roles of the transition staff let go?

Today I was laid off after 10 years with this company. Ten years of loyalty, long nights, weekends, holidays, and consistently strong evaluations. And just like that, it was over. No real explanation. No appreciation. Just a call and a decision that... — read more 

For all those who got the axe today there will be a tribute in the sky for the fallen. It might take all night.

I was so fed up with the work and the constant anticipation of losing my job that I'd lost any motivation to work extra-hard. And I constantly felt guilty about it. As if being a hard worker would've made any difference. We all saw today that being... — read more 

Taking the chance to work for this company was the worst experience of my career. I feel terrible for the amazing leaders we lost today, I am sure my role is next. Onward and upward.

Just a devastating day , esp in OH where rumors said 25% got cut. Lots of tears and sadness. Some people left for the day after they found out (don’t blame them). Hopefully those impacted get back on their feet soon. For those who survived , I... — read more 

Has anyone heard of Monday Rif???? I've had a few tell me they heard about it that there will be some Monday? In Optum Health

So far haven’t heard anything from the East Coast. Is everyone ok?

Got the news 3hrs ago!!

I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but with the job market the way it is right now, it isn’t unrealistic to expect that people laid off today won’t find new positions anytime soon. If we’re being kicked to the curb, the least they could... — read more 

My manager told us that Optum Care on the west coast lost over a billion dollars last year, and that we have until the end of this year to break even. I can’t help but think that means layoffs.

If you are impacted by today’s layoff please post here to help consolidate information. Please post your division (Optum Tech, Optum Insight, OptumRX, etc) if you feel comfortable, how many people in your team. If you want to go deeper like M&R, E&I... — read more 

I just keep refreshing this page on my phone. Productivity this morning is zero.

This is crazy 25% of my team on OT was wiped out. Even offshore employees were let go. I'm guessing they will be replaced by bottom of the barrel contractors. How id everyone else's team doing?

Hearing directional change. Don't know what that means.

I have never in my life felt more contempt for an organization than I do for UHG. Their revenue comes from denying medical care and stealing from the federal government. Our CEO is like a Frankenstein-esque combination of Darth Vader and Mr. Burns... — read more 

Any Updates on WellMed RA and Quality?

Anyone else up waiting for the impending doom?

I'm new here, I'm stressing and unable to sleep, so please humor me. How are people notified? I know there's an email notification, but is it then a meeting just with your manager, HR, or somebody else? Is it a whole group at once or one by one? Are... — read more 

If leadership can dictate NO ONE can get a 5. If leadership can mandate EVERYONE gets a 3. If leadership can wholesale change merit increases. Why have a review process?

There is a layoff coming across Optum Health on 1/23. Unsure of size, but believe it to be significant. All this while M&R “leadership” is at an offsite meeting in Scottsdale staying at the Grand Hyatt ($1K/night). Each attendee received a pair of... — read more
