Since many of us can utilize AI to do our jobs in a third of the time in IT- why wouldn't we use agentic AI with high performing onshore resources and eliminate offshore? Just feels like this would be the best way to leverage this tool.

Tomorrow Old Steve will tell all those worried about their investments how he going to stabilize the company. He probably lay the rest to the staff off in the americas and worry about customer service later. Don’t you love the way the company brings... — read more
New hr thing? “Fieldglass”
Under sparq - pay time and personal info - “fieldglass” is on the list now. Never seen this in three years I’ve worked here. What is this?
I’m finally out
Optum gave me no reason to stay and plenty of signs that it was time to go. Not looking back.
Is this legal?
How can they RIF people in the same job they are hiring new people from India? How dare Hemsley say we are an American company serving Americans on July 4th. He needs to open his eyes and look around!! I feel there is a geograhical prejudice here!... — read more
Will there be layoffs in August
Does anyone know if there will be another round of layoffs in August?
It’s a sad reality to feel disconnected from your workplace
Disrespect, distrust, and dissatisfaction. Those have become the norm. Imagine working in an environment where you genuinely enjoy your job, where leadership earns your respect, and where your contributions are recognized and rewarded. A place you’d... — read more

Ship back laptop
Can someone please post the contact information for getting their equipment out of our homes? A bunch of us were affected with the layoff months ago and still havent received boxes to get their sh!t out of our homes.
Of course there will be more layoffs
There might not be a gigantic round (though I doubt it), but the death by a thousand cuts will proceed.
Welcome tributes to the Hunger Games!
For the next few months each of you will be training for the October round of the Hunger Games!! May the odd forever be in your favor!
I don’t even feel relieved
I’ve gone numb. I do need to pay bills, and I do need the job. But they’ve kept us in a constant state of anxiety for so long that I’ve stopped caring. Leadership made sure the work is mind-numbing, the workload overwhelming, and the policies crude... — read more
What’s next?
New lawsuit by DOJ… new round off layoff planning starts again. When we finish last round of layoffs, we will plan for the next one. This was the old CEO LR stated during global town hall 8 years ago when Hemsley and Santelli (from IT) were in... — read more
E&E affected yesterday
Three of my co workers laid off yesterday. This is never end until we are all gone
What is severance policy?
Does anyone know? Cant find it.
Who was laid off today at Optum Financial?
Anybody know how it was decided and if they’re done?
Who Decided Our Fate?
Were the people laid off selected by HR or was management involved in selecting individuals.
I hope we are done for now
First, I’m sorry for the folks who were cut and really needed the job. I genuinely hope everyone affected finds something else quickly, ideally a much better job at a decent company. I hope this is over, not because I care about keeping my job here... — read more
Does Optum ever lay off on Fridays?
I'm just wondering if this could continue tomorrow. My old company always had layoffs mid-week, and I'm still new enough that I don't know how things work here.
OT Impacted today
I was let go today, done at the beginning of August.
When will it be enough?
Am I the only one who's ready to walk out because I can't take the stress of constant layoffs anymore? This is not healthy. This is destroying my mental, and in turn physical, health. I understand that job security is a rare thing these days, but... — read more
Shady layoffs
For company that requires us to take ethical and fraud training, they seem to do a lot of shady & illegal actions. Layoffs are no different. I'm sure.
Layoffs Over for Today?
I work for Optum Health and we just got pulled into a 15 minute Team Huddle to tell us there were layoffs this morning company wide and some our team mates were impacted. They wouldn't say who or how many, but they said this cycle of lay offs is... — read more
How many people are they going after?
Seems like a bigger round than usual. Good luck to everyone.
Optum Health
Post here if you were laid off from the care delivery side.
Layoffs
Please let us know if your area is getting hit.
Thank America

Goodbye, shorting this stock as my new job!
OT I will be so excited to start my day now.
I was notified today at OptumInsight
Lost my job but I have plenty of damning proof of the unsafe data practices rampant at OI. In particular the restricted volume sent out of the US. I have already met with my state senator's staff to expose the truth. We're coming.
What did the market figure out this AM?
fresh lows in premarket after initial May kn--e drop. People paying attention that we're specifically designed to puff up clinical data to goose Medicare reimbursement? Wonder how that works for non-UHC commercial payers billed by OH providers. This... — read more
Good bye providers
So more than half our providers at LM albany are let off. This after a tow hall of how exciting the changes are going to be for our future This place su-ks
7/24 is now here. Invites would go out first thing, that's the OT way.
Everything is pointing to OT being heavily targeted on Thursday. All the best to those potentially impacted.
Just OI tomorrow?
Or will others be impacted too? Good luck, everyone.
