How’s does it actually work for leaders? How much does tenure matter vs what would be the least disruptive to the business? Does tenure save you or being in the right location?

I am interviewing for a promotion within Optum. What if I am laid off on Tuesday and it takes more than two weeks to get into the new role? Would I then have to payback the package if I accept the offer?

Witty 12% raise

UHC stock likely to drop again

All the lawsuits and V28. I can’t wait until the DOJ deep dives NAVIhealths skilling of SNFs. All they need to do is admit the ISNP /IESNP skilling before Navi and after as well as the disgruntled Home and Community staff emails to leaders on how... — read more 

Computer

Last day was 4/1. I haven’t received the shipping box they said they would send for me to return my devices. Anyone else laid off on 4.1 that hasn’t received it?

So stressful!

Landmark being dismantled. You wonder continuously when the layoff will be. When do you find out? When you start a workday and get “the email” for the meeting that morning. Your audio and camera is turned off, you’re told by someone you don’t know... — read more 

A.I.

The greater a sector’s exposure to A.I., the more likely it is to offshore jobs to lower-income countries. Soon, Americans working in areas like marketing, financial analysis and software development could see their jobs sent overseas.

So long Optum!

Offshoring tech is leading to loss in productivity

It seems that we are offshoring more of the jobs and technology than we are keeping any onshore. The issue that comes up with this is the difference in time zones. Also the communication gap. What used to take one Sprint to complete a feature with an... — read more

Was Landmark falsifying charts?

I had heard somewhere on one of these threads that LM falsified charts and created fake diagnosis. Is this true? My parents were Landmark members.
