Noticed they’ve separated onshore and offshore Datadog access. Is this a response to concerns around PHI and PII exposure offshore? Or is there another operational or compliance reason driving the change? If anyone in leadership has context on what... — read more 

It’s bad all the time. I mean if there is anything in particular not to look forward to?

The workload here is insane, but what really gets me is how everyone acts like it's totally normal. Totally acceptable. Working late isn't an exception around here, it's just expected. This kind of pace isn't sustainable and I'm watching people... — read more 

On the UHC layoff thread someone recently shared that Optum Real is being phased out and that the work is being moved back to Super Connector?Does anyone have additional information? When is this going to be announced?

Love seeing this!

Why does anyone work here anymore? I can't wait to be laid off or quit, hoping for the former! Wasn't today walk out day? If you get fired do you still have to pay back sign on bonus?

DOes anyone know when the next layoff at wellmed will be? Im looking into quitting but would like to wait until the next layoffs. Just in case so i can get my severance package. Either way, im ready to get out of here

Several on my team received invites for 10am call today - no agenda. Peer was informed a few teams are moving offshore. They are only keeping a few leaders on a few more weeks to shift the work to OGS. WHY is this continuing to happen??? How can so... — read more 

Been very quiet lately.

It's too much expecting things to improve when it's not just one thing, it's everything. Change the leadership, but if we still have the outdated systems, the processes that require I jump through fifteen hoops to get something done, and the... — read more 

End of Q1

All Florida Clinics were told ten minutes ago that all employees must attend a business update meeting at noon today. Any info on what’s happening?

https://thecybersecguru.com/news/unitedhealth-group-data-breach-florida-2026/ Doesn't have a lot of details, but this isn't some random website either.

Has anyone heard grade 26 remote CDI being on the RIF list?

Supervisors were laid off today from the wellmed branch within Carenet health. Anyone from wellmed out there know when Carenets contract will end with wellmed ? Assuming that is sooner than later with the amount of clinic closures.

Friday will be my last day at Optum. I am very lucky in that this was my decision. I'm also lucky in that I live in a state where accumulated PTO must be paid out. If, for some reason, there are discrepancies in my final paycheck, how does an ex... — read more 

Maybe that'll finally force leadership to step up their game and actually run the business instead of just extracting wealth.

I survived the last several rounds of layoffs and I feel horrible about it. Some of the best people on our team got cut and I'm still here, with less than two years under my belt. I know logically it's not my fault, but I can't shake this guilt every... — read more

Not looking good.

I'm curious what the GL is of the folks that post here. Not trying to be inflammatory or judgmental at all, just curious to put the comments into context. BTW if you have to ask what's a GL, you're probably not an employee.

Anyone show no schedule past May 2026 in house calls? Seems odd, but with the current environment not surprised.

Has anyone heard of anything brewing in OT, ORx OI etc? O lot of VP's have resigned in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if they were offered a package or knew something bad was coming?

Anyone have any experience with how long it’s taking to receive severance payment? I submitted mine electronically March 9th.

Those are in the know now, are YIR and external teama feedback considered during charting out who gets laid off? If GL-32 is very happy with my performance and thinks highly of my contribution, will that matter during RIF where only a few teammates... — read more 

They're just je-king us around, aren't they? Maybe they'll tie it to a gas price threshold - check the pump each morning, find out if you're driving in. Next-gen attrition tactics!

I picked up extra work, helped other teams, and stayed late when it was needed, and in the end none of it seemed to matter. The people making the layoff calls clearly had no clue who was actually doing the work. That’s the frustrating part, when what... — read more 

Can we have at least a week where we don't have to worry about cuts? Just a single one?

Does anyone know how do they dew use we get laid off ? Our managers decide? Or MD ??

Rumor has it TPG is talking about stepping in to buy the struggling clinic after Optum couldn’t turn it around. We shall see…

I'm watching team after team get carved up and wondering when this becomes unsustainable. They keep cutting deeper, and everyone left is just expected to absorb the rest. No one's asking if the work still gets done, or who's going to be around to do... — read more

Https://www.wellmedhealthcare.com/notices/ No telling how many PA or FNP got let go. As I understand it, the plan is to cut the panel in half over the next year. IMO this cutting our way to success is not going to work

Does anyone have the remaining known dates for layoffs this year? I just saw a comment on another post that said 3/19/26 was 1 of 4 remaining, but I’ve only seen 4/30 as the next known date. So, if 3/19 and 4/30 are 2 of the 4 dates, what are the... — read more

So how do they decide who is laid off vs who stays? I was laid off a couple of years ago (and then came back to a different role, lower pay grade) and there were 2 of us laid off from our team of 5 - I was 48, she was in her 50's; I'd been with the... — read more
