but is it possible to negotiate your severance? Do we have any leverage in the whole process?
What the actual heck.
My team of registered field nurses has no work. Okay, we have some work but not very much, as in not enough to meet productivity. They hired new nurses last year just as things were slowing down. Now things are so bad- like the hunger games vying... — read more
Can your team be impacted twice?
If your team was already impacted by layoffs in Feb, is there a chance to be impacted again next week?
Any truth to this?

Beginning of the Process? Bereavement Leave being Questioned.
HR is questioning my 10 day bereavement that I took last month. Is this normal or should I be worried that they are looking to include me in the next round?
Care Week
Isn’t Care Week (what a joke) scheduled for next week? I keep hearing layoffs will be on 4/30. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have the layoffs this Thursday?
It's all our own fault
We're the ones who keep overextending ourselves to cover for those who are cut. We do it over and over again. If we all just stopped, they wouldn't be able to do this anymore. Work wouldn't get done. There would be consequences for their actions. As... — read more
No one knows
Seems all leaks have been sealed and no one has any insight into the future of their jobs or this pathetic company that profits off of human misery and disease/disease management. Interesting
Just how brutal are these layoffs going to get?
They've been offshoring us into oblivion already.
ECS
Anyone have any insight into ECS and layoffs? It’s been really weird with such little work available. Is AI being used covertly?
OIP
Does anyone know of Optum Infusion will be affected by layoffs anytime soon? Work seems to be dwindling
It's time to unionize under the Communications Workers of America.

Will Home and Community be impacted?
Does anyone know if Home and Community (business side) will be impacted by the 4/30 layoffs?
Specialty pharmacy
Are they going to lay off technicians??
Meanwhile on Linked in..
My linked in feed is filling with post about IT engineers getting new jobs at Optum India... "Liked" by the United healthcare account no less.... They have no f-ing shame.
No work left in the pipeline
Has anyone else seen their pipeline of work come to an end before RIFs? My team doesn't have any new projects planned to start after Q2. I assume this means we are being set up for layoffs. Any thoughts or similar experience?
OI onshore cuts today
Not poppycock or rumor. Asked this morning for multiple names from my 10 person onshore team. Of course they said we cant take anyone from our 35 person offshore team. OI is not meeting IOI, doesn't matter that my products are. This Jenga tower is... — read more
PTO
Just tried to take some PTO was approved but when I tried to put it in global time system, I got a message unfortunately missed the time. To submit this request. Ask your manager about the next open submission.. Anybody know what this is about?
Surest is the next business to be targeted
Surest is a junk product and the division is run by imbeciles. The news I picked up on today is it's about to get hit
Just got transfered to an Offshore Manager.
I think I am done for and that they are planning to move my job offshore too.
COBRA QUESTION
i have a feeling i'll be cut soon (weird vibe coming from the manager, being ghosted and gaslit) i am thinking about keeping cobra and wanted to see if anyone had experience with it. thank you...
Corporate America doesn’t serve America anymore
We need legislation that will force companies to pay money into unemployment benefits, equal to their profits if they choose to move the workforce offshore, or replace with AI. Why should 93% of America suffer so the 7% of stockholders can benefit?... — read more
It Looks Like There Were Layoffs Today
Tell us more about which areas and how many.
401 k
How long do you need to be at the company to be vested, partially or totally for your 401(k)?
I'm hoping to get laid off
Yes, even with this economy and the dismal job market. That's how unbearable this place has become for me.
What is the final timeline if I get notified?
If I get picked for layoff will I be on the books/expected to work for 2 more weeks after notification? If so I assume I can use my PTO to the bitter end until my last day.
Ahead of OI layoffs
A lot of what OI does is facilitate the functioning of other divisions. I'm not in OI, but OI's work and tech has enabled a lot of the 40-90% headcount cuts to other areas (not that those reductions were always well advised). A lot of the applied... — read more

VACCN
Layoffs still ongoing ?
So the major cuts happen on 4/30, and this week is nothing much?
Is that certain? I'd ki-l for two weeks without this stress.
Anyone being asked to track their time exempt employee?
Today my manager held a my 1:1 and told me he needs to me to start tracking my “activities” with how much time each takes. He claims upper leadership is wanting to get a better idea of the teams activities. We have about 8 people on our team. Anyone... — read more
4/16 or 4/30
Is it one or the other or both? And if you have any details please share at least a little bit
I just hope they stop with layoffs
That's it, that's the whole post
The only reason I hate Sundays is this job
They've got us stressed out constantly. No breaks, no rest, no relief. This company has completely taken over our lives.
New Optum Fl thoughts or insoght?
We are all curious to know if financially is it worth staying on board especially in light of bonuses being eliminated, cut in 401k, poor to no merit increases? Do you really believe this will improve? Any real insight? Please share!!!
Hierarchy of Needs
I just read Mind over Grind by Guy Winch… he tries to explain whats happening in our heads when laid off- goes over Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and that losing our job costs us security, social structure, status, accomplishment, as well as a sense... — read more
There has to be an end date
We can't go on like this forever. There has to be an end to layoffs. Are we supposed to stress over potentially losing our jobs for the rest of our working days?
Housecalls APCs
Anyone under a ton of micromanaging /scrutiny for low completion efficiencies beyond your control?
