Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Still unable to work

I work remotely, and ever since GitHub Actions was taken down, I have been experiencing a critical network connectivity issue that has severely impacted my ability to work. Although I can connect to the VPN and access support.uhc.com, virtually all other network traffic is blocked by Zscaler or the corporate firewall.

It has been nearly two weeks, and IT has still failed to identify or resolve the issue, despite numerous troubleshooting attempts, multiple incident (INC) tickets, repeated escalations, replacing computers and countless hours wasted.

The level of incompetence, inefficiency, and lack of accountability demonstrated by the ESRO, Mac Support, Zscaler and IT teams is unacceptable. Their inability to diagnose and resolve a critical connectivity issue after nearly two weeks raises serious concerns about their technical expertise, troubleshooting capabilities, and overall effectiveness.

What makes this situation even more frustrating is the complete lack of ownership and urgency. Instead of providing a meaningful resolution, the issue continues to be passed around without any tangible progress.

is anyone else in same bot?

You know the tech stack is weak as F when people resort to the layoff site as a help desk. Did you post to the bot channel and spam it like all the offshore people do all night?

@OP

Why do you care? If you can't work due to Optum's sh---y planning, decision-making, implementation, or maintenance - consider it as bonus vacation time.

Only bootlickers concern themselves with lost opportunities for productivity...

The github issue threads are wild. ESRO is out there proclaiming all issues are now resolved, meanwhile there is a flood of people with screenshots and anecdotes of ongoing problems, much like yourself, gumming up all their networks.

Turns out all of us who were criticizing them for acting like Chicken Little for years had a point
