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 

Is this what Sandip Dorkani meant by 100x, crashing the stock price? 52 week low of 234 could be reached at this point. One disaster after another lately with leadership. Brush up your resume and look elsewhere, the only thing that will 100x now is... — read more 

IMO - Optum should completely overhaul and replace the incompetent and absent middle management from all the inherited poor performing Kelsey-Seybold Clinics within Houston Metropolitan area. Most of these pseudo leaders were promoted by their... — read more 

Is that some kind of a joke? More cuts?

I have another degree and certificate but don't wish to work as that for Optum....when they are considering layoffs so they look at your resume and try to offer another job to get out of paying you severance

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.

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

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
