I'm in Optum Health and I'm desperate to leave. Like actually considering resigning this week because I can't take this place anymore. However, if there's a chance I'll be laid off in October, I'd certainly choose to hang in there and collect my... — read more 

Is the work staying with Optum or moving to Sutter? Any layoff info?

Florida WellMed clinics sold off to TPG announced this morning: https://finance.yahoo.com/healthcare/articles/unitedhealth-sells-interest-florida-wellmed-005524593.html

Speaking from the perspective of H&C and EVS coordinators. The unsubstantiated rumors which have a weird way of coming true are suggesting the axe will fall in the pre and post service SNF providers. With the (awful) offshore team edging there way... — read more 

How’s everyone in Housecalls doing? Are there any concerns for layoffs? I’m full time and I only have a small amount of members (<55) scheduled in the future. It used to be a lot more than that.

Our corporate overlords have decided 4th quarter earnings need a boost and they need bigger bonuses, nothing new. The leadership meeting last week contained a horrifying slide. They voted on cutting 50% of human “assets” by the end of the year.

Any idea what happened? Some security incident apparently?

Read on earlier posts that WellMed is planned to be sold by Optum by the end of the year, is that true?

Nothing says “our team hates us” like a company forcing you to take a “Culture ReIgnition” session. I thought pep rallies stopped in high school? I think a better way is a raise of greater than .4% , but I could be wrong.

No raises. No promotions. PTO requests denied. Such a great place to work.

x.com/ChiefEngineerCE/status/2095181456184316130 People ask what actually happens if you report a visa coworker to USCIS anonymously. Here is the process. It is not a movie. It is paperwork that becomes the employer’s problem. You find you or an... — read more

As Optum continues to shift US positions to other countries, at what point is India considered the new onshore and the US considered offshore?

Was told they’re updating job titles to what you are actually doing if you’re listed as clerk. And they said they may be going after clerks now. Anyone know how true this is?

Rumors some Optum departments being absorbed by UHG? Any intel

I was trying to click on Elevance Health because they, along with other of Optum’s competitors, seem to be going through almost exactly same challenges Optum is. Well, I accidentally clicked on Emblem Health, instead of Elevance, and their last post... — read more 

If you post for a job but do not get it until after your last day, do you still get severance?

Company News: The "Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards" - where out of 20 awards issued, 19 went to Optum India. Way to rub the outright, blatent, anti-USA descrimination into the faces of your employees, a--hats!

I got laid off almost two weeks ago. I received a personal and work email for a job offer. It’s Employee Installation Representative. It’s for 5 months. It would not mess with my severance. I would get paid what I was making. Has anyone else received... — read more 

Does anyone have insider info on the recent announcement that DF is stepping into a smaller role? Was he pushed out, or did he choose the move? RV Ops culture is abysmal in my experience, super high strung and controlling. How do people feel about... — read more 

If you think the layoffs in 2026 are bad, wait until the bloodbath coming in 2027.

Seems like no one has any official word on what restructure will look like, how many can expect to be cut, when it may be announced vs when it will take effect. Any word from the “rumor mill?” Seems to be all we have. I’m a CC in a heavy Humana... — read more

Oct layoffs are not far off. I am starting mega thread to keep us all in the loop. Keep the info flowing y'all. Spill the teas, spin up those rumour mills. Talk to your directors/VPs etc y'all, stir some pots, n share the news. Thank you y'all!

Just for now, of course. But it's something.

I’m considering contacting a lawyer over being laid off. Would it be worth it?

Optum also filed notice indicating it plans to eliminate 57 positions at its Basking Ridge location. Those layoffs are scheduled to take effect Dec. 7, according to the notice.

If the contract ends in December, will PCR, SICC, and ALC layoffs happen starting in October? Or will they cut us right before Christmas? I’ve been a PCR for 6 years. Preparing for my next move. About what percentage of the staff will remain? At... — read more 

Starting a thread for today, please share your department and how many people eliminated. Good luck!

Not happening as you expect
