Optum Colombia has officially closed its operations due to lack of oversight by it leadership and management teams
Optum leadership doesn't know how to cut fat
All they know how to do is cut muscle. Every new round of layoffs we keep losing our best employees while the worst are still here. This keeps happening again and again. It makes no sense to us or anybody with an IQ above 70, but I guess it makes... — read more

The author states in 1976 average CEOs earned 36x as much as the average worker. In 1993 regulators mandated companies post CEO pay/perks hoping it would stop the rise in exec compensation as 1993 average CEO was paid 131x the average worker. It... — read more

Boeing!
Normally Fortune companies hire the same management consultant for crisis management. Going by the shake up at Boeing today ….a big shake up is coming here. After all both companies kept their “doors” open.

Looks like it will be a $10 billion 100x zero distance zero quality disaster.
Moving on down..
One of the National Optum chief medical officers was booted down to a regional position. Can't believe that was his choice. Reorgs will be happening within a month or two, it always happens when a new leader wants to strut their stuff.
