About major layoffs coming in September? I mean, it would make sense. They’ve been offshoring roles there like crazy.

Outsource every possible US-based job to other countries. Surprised face when all of the unemployed people whose FORMER health care was tied to an employer. And just WAIT for the big bucks to keep rolling in. Ravenous locusts. Don’t look up a--holes... — read more 

Do you blame your manager personally for what happened, or do you see it as more of a company-wide issue, something out of their control? I ask because a former coworker’s furious at our manager, but I don’t think that’s fair. He’s one of the rare... — read more 

I heard a whisper in the wind that a bunch of tech teams that used to be part of Optum Health & Financial Tech under Mouli are now going under Wretling's org. And they're adding yet another Ai center of (cringe) excellence under Wretling. Has anyone... — read more 

Someone just called him propagating “fluff” materials. He is getting exposed, extremely shallow person. Kuddos to the colleague for taking a stand in the swamp of ‘Yes’ people.

Just a PSA to all you burnouts (I am one of you) that you can just tell your boss "no." And you can do it a whole bunch before Optum fires you. Working for a company with an accountability problem means your boss is a coward who really doesn't want... — read more

Lots of layoffs till mid September

Gets worse everyday. Wish my luck, currently looking. This place mentally and physically drains you. Cannot take this anymore.

Please looking for a real answer. I took a position and moved for it as a licensed mental health therapist in December. Since then all of the therapist quit minus a site director. We have not been getting intakes but just hired a nurse practitioner... — read more 

One day, studies will be done on how companies like Optum pushed people to the brink, taking over our lives, forcing us into impossible moral situations, and making us hate the company, the work, and the office. By the time they’re done with you, all... — read more 

I don't know where to start. My leader has just placed me on a CAP with a description that is just untrue and a corrective plan that lacks any detail. I'm not a perfect person, but I have been performing here for years, with performance scores of 4-5... — read more 

At first my anxiety was through the roof worrying about finding my next job, however I found one a new position in a matter of a few months with a 20% salary increase with 8-5 hours, no nights/weekends. No more stress or anxiety, complete opposite of... — read more 

Feels rough now, but I still believe we’re all meant for something better than this. Just be patient.

We have had to download the secure osv app which is basically an app that is supposed to be used for emergencies for clinical field workers. Has anyone had this maliciously used against them for tracking their location?

Way too many chiefs but not enough Indians.

Any word on contract RFP, layoffs ? Are they still even be considered? Is it still on hold?

So the huge compensation email came out today, telling every employee who got a three or above performance review rating, or who is a new hire with no rating, that they will all be getting retro raises in one lump sum. Also, they will be compensated... — read more 

What a joke. One time transition payment and a one time pay increase equivalent to the 2024 reviews we just got. Keep in mind, 2024 were the LOWEST pay increases and the lowest RRP awards handed out. So now we know all those reviews, pay raises... — read more

If its happening for everyone, when?

We all know it’s just a way to justify decisions based on numbers only.

Basically the OP. Why?? The stench some days on the floor is unbearable. People are here leaving garbage basically all week and even Saturday and it sits here until it’s so smelly that someone has to hunt it down and take the can out.

Over the past year, my team has steadily replaced onshore staff with contractors and offshore hires. Our previous manager was replaced by someone based in India. While the overall headcount has nearly doubled, output has dropped. Technical debt is... — read more 

I've trained plenty of folks before, but for some reason, this one feels different. Things they want to me to show him...it's not something that was required before.

IN the EXI town hall, it was announced everyone's RTO.

While Gretchen is out, the vestiges of her time are still running rampant. We have all these so-called GRC people who have been placed in positions best filled by technical people or the people you laid-off with technical skills: IT Project Manager... — read more

About a year ago, one day I was working like normal, the next I was out. No heads-up, nothing. Thought it was the end of the world, but a few months later I landed something better and higher paying. If I’d known it would turn out like this, I... — read more 

I hope all of you fearful of the post saying to quit now are doing so because if you quit that means their job is just a tad bit safer, the company is legally required to keep a percentage of US employees just not very much for all those who we won... — read more 

The only thing the US still has is its reserve currency and our financial system. We have gutted/sold off everything else to protect these two systems. I think they are trying various quick fixes that use to work (tariffs, immigration, taxes, and... — read more 

No one is talking about the recent transition of certain departments to Optum. What do you think will happen in the weeks/months to come and what should those who transition expect?
