As Optum continues to shift US positions to other countries, at what point is India considered the new onshore and the US considered offshore?

Was told they’re updating job titles to what you are actually doing if you’re listed as clerk. And they said they may be going after clerks now. Anyone know how true this is?

I’m considering contacting a lawyer over being laid off. Would it be worth it?

Optum also filed notice indicating it plans to eliminate 57 positions at its Basking Ridge location. Those layoffs are scheduled to take effect Dec. 7, according to the notice.

If the contract ends in December, will PCR, SICC, and ALC layoffs happen starting in October? Or will they cut us right before Christmas? I’ve been a PCR for 6 years. Preparing for my next move. About what percentage of the staff will remain? At... — read more
