Major announcement in ECS. UHG has determined it is cost effective to offshore pre authorization services for LTAC, IRF and SNF to the Philippines. 30-40% is caseload gone. Member PHI to be handled by 3rd world

I heard most Wipro and Sapient contracts will being terminated or at best not be extended but it's not being announced. Just terminate one by one or not extend so it won't make big news.. I heard this from a SG32 in people team. I am 31 and have log... — read more 

We all know they aren't anonymous. NOT doing them hurts mgmt more than doing them and giving negative reviews. NOT doing them en masses makes a bigger dent than doing them and complaining.

Any word on who will be hit in the sound this month? Optum Tech, any others?

May 28 is pretty much locked in. I had to give a name from my team. I'm in OT and it will hit here pretty hard this ho around Can this be confirmed by somebody else?

Does anyone know the impact on Optum health and Optum care this month?

KY TN CA BON reports filed. We have to make sure these lousy incompetent employees are held accountable for their actions.

Sorry but to me it feels like this emergency test is also to make sure we have a personal email so when they lay us off they can just send the documents or communication there. I went in and there is no way to remove it. Maybe I’m extremely paranoid... — read more 

Any other pharmacists laid off on 4/30 from OptumRx? 15 years with the company. Anyone know numbers on all these layoffs ?

My understanding is there will be another round of layoffs end of this month with the end date being middle of June. It is possible it slightly gets pushed back but from what I’m hearing they want the list locked and announced end of month. Optum... — read more 

I'm struggling here. Every week there's a new rumor about cuts, and just when I think I've got my role figured out, my manager changes what I'm supposed to be doing. I can't plan, I can't relax, and I can't tell if I'm doing well or about to get cut... — read more

Laid off 2 months ago after 28 years with UHG. Devastating! All internal positions I apply for, immediately “they are pursuing other candidates more qualified”. WTH? I’m even applying for job grades lower than when I left & still the same responses... — read more

My manager is still constantly breathing down my neck all the time. If I need to be under constant pressure and control, maybe I'm not exactly fit to train that wretched, hallucinating AI.

Anyone lose their jobs in credit balance? God I wish they would lay me off.

I'm actually looking forward to the first decent weekend in forever, and to never touching healthcare again. Got an interview next week for something completely different at a small company. Wish me luck. And do yourselves a favor, find something... — read more

Every round of cuts here goes after the people who keep things running. The ones who know the systems, who have the relationships, who fix problems before anyone notices them. The dead weight somehow always survives. They are not cutting fat. They... — read more

It is heartbreaking to see those employees who want to stay, lose their jobs. It makes zero sense when you know you have many that will voluntarily separate.

Looks like a decent sized one at the end of May. I was asked for 2 names today. I have a peer in another old Tesmer team that had to give some too. Seems like it might be pretty good sized.

Seems Apr 30 RIF was all just rumors.

Too many reports of people 55+ being let go in disproportionate numbers.

Anyone else notice the internal job posting site is down on the day of layoffs?

I saw in another post that 30% of OI employees would be impacted. Doesn't seem that way. Anyone know if they can give you notice on 5/1 vs. today?

Doesn’t seem like any layoffs are taking place today????

hi, Hoping anyone impacted today might find this thread and post whatever info they can for the rest of us anxious souls. Good luck everyone! ❤️

Anyone from the previous round willing to share their age and salary grade? Curious if the same age groups or grades are being targeted in the cuts rumored for today.

Anyone have any info on what KSC clinics are closing for good? I know our path of growth was too aggressive, but didn’t think closing clinics was the solution. I always assumed they would just do a hiring freeze instead of laying off WellMed... — read more
