Does anyone in UHC have a town hall all employee meeting?

That was a year ago. Now I'd pay that money back with interest just to sleep through the night without dreaming about that "you have a new invite" chime. My old, boring job never looked as good as it does these days.

My department has been told the goal is to “run out of work,” and that we should not be concerned with this. Today we “ran out of work.” Concerned?

When, where, and number of affected workers would go a long way to allying fears and improving mental health as well. It would also dispel rumors of large layoffs and improve optics with the media.

For those laid off on 4/30, last day 5/14 was your final check smaller than usually? I believe they don’t pay for the final day so we received 72 hours instead of 80. Is this the case for other folks as well?

Wellmed layoff what departments are going to be RIF in May ?

I am perplexed at the people who are touting that there is going to be a layoff on May 28 and it’s going to be massive. You all really need to stop. There’s always layoffs in departments that are under performing or where there is duplicative work... — read more 

I just want this round to be over so I can have some peace of mind, even if only for a couple of weeks. I'm terrified of losing my job. It's a bad period in life, too many obligations and reasons to stress. Losing my job would probably bring me to my... — read more 

Just a reminder to use your floating holiday and consider using some PTO if you have a large balance saved up. Most states only pay out up to 40 hours of unused PTO. If you receive a RIF notice on 5/28, you could lose most of your remaining PTO... — read more 

It's a mixed bag in my team. There are a couple who contribute fairly. I've stopped checking their work because they've proven reliable and knowledgeable. The rest just create more work for me. Everything they do needs to be reviewed and often... — read more 

Did anyone else have to go back and add to their list of tributes for the May 28th layoff? I provided 2 names in OI and leadership came back and asked me to add a 3rd. I'm also wondering if I'm on the list or my peer. There are new targets for how... — read more 

Any idea if the greater Texas Wellmed case management team will be affected with the May or June RIFs? RN case manager just wondering if we are next.

I can't stop thinking about the unfairness of how all this works. A small group of people at the top repeatedly make one short sighted decision after another, often ignoring warnings from the people who actually understand the business. Then, when... — read more 

Did everyone get the meeting to discuss the state of the business on June 4th

Good bye Mahmoud to Optum Insight under Candyman100x Incoming Hari who worked for WiPro and Cognizant as your SVP Get ready ready!

“Annuals checks to begin soon” Another way to weed out people instead of laying off. I get it’s in the employment contract but I’ve never got this email all the years I’ve worked here.

I was laid off several months ago. I've gotten to the final round multiple times since then and each time, they pick someone else. The reasons are always vague and feel like excuses. My self confidence is now completely destroyed. I'm losing sleep... — read more 

There was a colleague in a different department that I worked with and anytime I look them up on teams they are still there, last seen approximately 2 months ago. I have a feeling they were let go, but wouldn't they be gone from teams by now? Maybe... — read more 

Noticed recently there are 599 new OGA (offshore) employees, and their U.S. manager was part of the 04/30 layoff. Anyone out there with more info on what’s to come? Timeline, which departments, etc.

It's great news for all of us who work here to see the recovery.

Leadership changes coming? any info….

Humans are not made to withstand so much stress on a daily basis. We really aren't. Even if our physicals health remains fine (and it rarely does) this all takes a huge toll on our mental health. I'm this close to quitting every single day because of... — read more 

I keep seeing things that make me think there will be layoffs this week? Does anyone know anything?

Noncompete? No talking to media? Agree not to sue?

He wasn't laid off, he was fired. Nobody seems to know why, and I honestly can't think of a single thing that could have caused it. He's (well, was) one of our hardest workers. Is this something we should now be scared of as well? Random firings for... — read more 

This isn't a post about rumors or Optum info, it's a post for folks that are hit by RIFs and are tight on funds. Being RIF'd is traumatic for many and in the storm one's focus could be clouded. If your money is tight and you contribute to the 401k... — read more 

Hi, does anyone know the future of Optum at home/care delivery/ Palliative team

When is the current employee survey going to start? Do you complete? Does your boss require you to take it even those it’s supposed to be anonymous?

Hi all, I am still pretty early in my career (4 yrs of experience) but I am on some major projects within my team and I am the only person who knows how to do certain things or navigate certain systems. I asked for plan on a pay raise mid last year... — read more 

With so many different layoff dates being thrown around, I honestly have no idea what’s coming anymore or when. At this point, I can’t even tell whether next week is safe or not.

I am not sure of how many will be impacted but June 25th is the date for June layoffs. I hate this for anyone impacted, but brace yourselves and just know if this is not your moment to be affected, give grace to those who were and ready your personal... — read more

I find it unbelievable how many VP's Optum has. One thing I learned was that when Optum acquires a company they assign them a title based on the money that they made in their last company. Hence, so many people having titles that significantly... — read more
