Check out this Instagram post about a mega hiring event for freshers in India. "Join Optum and be part of a global healthcare team." Walk in interviews were held for Senior Enrollment & Eligibility Representative. If you job is not offshored yet, it will be....

@2zy offshore architects are the BIGGEST JOKE. Seriously, they make the worst architects, BAs, DATA/ML scientists etc. I d them rather produce sh---y code that can be fixed by onshore
Problem is all the code they write is absolutely sh-t and it’s only gotten worse with AI. They literally just commit whatever codex or copilot spits out. All the codebase is goi g to be trash in 3 years or less.
@mn Irregardless is a real, nonstandard adverb that means the same thing as "regardless"
I couldn't resist. 🙄
@t2 Yes, you but the bonus in rupees depends on the pay grade. It is in the Employee Referral Policy.
Will Optum provide soap and deodorant as part of the hiring package?
Do we get referral bonuses for freshers?
@mn Thanks for this post. It gave me a good chuckle!
irregardless -> regardless
supposably -> supposedly
orientated -> oriented
Sorry, after the third one I couldn't resist...
Irregardless of where you stand on offshoring, people are going to become increasingly disincentivized when they see coworkers laid off while similar work is moved overseas. Supposably, this is all about efficiency and reducing costs, but companies shouldn't be surprised when the employees who remain become disengaged. Meanwhile, the organization is increasingly orientated toward a global workforce model rather than maintaining those roles in the U.S.
@f1 there is no UHG/UHC/Optum in India other than the offshore GCO. They don't provide any service or products there, it's unheard of other than if you work here.
@f1 or the Philippines
There is (was) a time and a place for unions espcially when it comes to workplace safety. Unions are not going to help the American worker compete with offshore resources. As labor costs go up, jobs get shipped overseas.
The realization that Optum does not provide clinical services in India is what makes me sick.....Optum offshoring to a country that effectively has universal health care. When do we wake up?
@bv true. Marketing collapsed around 6 years ago and has been a sh-t show since. The new guys is a clown. I hope they get what they have coming.
@e9 I don't know about "horrible," but they are exceptionally stupid. Unions drove jobs overseas before it was cool. Today, their members are mostly blood su-king government workers, and their bosses are more eager to sc--w their members than they the few of us who pay taxes. F-ck your union.
Today is one of 17-40 holidays in India. Expect delays.
Unions are horrible huh? How's it going without one? In India they are getting your job, raises, bonuses, merch and in turn they are eager. America pouts, complains and are disengaged. Try fighting for your jobs. Sign the card.
Slave labor. Hiring brown skinned people to do equivalent work at pay below US poverty level.
It most definitely is TREASON.
Learn some things:
"Defining “Aid and Comfort to Enemies”
The second form of treason—betraying the nation to foreign enemies—has been prosecuted more frequently. A conviction requires proving two distinct elements:
Adherence to the enemy: A mental element showing intent to betray the United States through a breach of allegiance.
Giving aid and comfort: A physical element—an “overt act” that materially helps the enemy."
"An American citizen owes allegiance to the United States wherever he lives, and dual nationality doesn’t change that. The Supreme Court has also declared that noncitizens, while domiciled in the United States, owe it a temporary allegiance, though it has never directly ruled on whether only citizens can commit treason."
https://govfacts.org/criminal-justice-public-safety/crime-criminal-law/types-of-crimes/treason-the-only-crime-defined-in-the-constitution/
"treason /trē′zən/
noun
The betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.
The betrayal of someone's trust or confidence.
The offense of attempting to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance, or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power; disloyalty; treachery."
@aq Calm down. Su-ks yes, treason, ummm no.
@bg you are missing the point. H1b was never a threat but rather annoyance but job stays in IS. Offshoring means job and associated taxes are gone out of the country.
@a4 100% ... not that Optum Marketing has done any actual marketing in the past 5 years.... zero leadership and the new guy is a mo--n.
Optum India had another Mega hiring event in Hyderabad on Sept 30th. Just think about it - the people walking in from the street in India will be doing your jobs in another month.

@aq If only! Nothing but fraud and scams from that country. The H1B crackdowns need to expand and kick out all the millions of fake certificates of education that have filtered into the states. With all that, plus a caste system and rote learning, and the culture practices of Jugaad and Izzat, I hope all USD lines and jobs out there get cut. Needs to happen!
(and then there's the 50some holidays they get too)
This is TREASON, and those responsible should be federally prosecuted accordingly.
All of marketing is being offshored. Employees with decades of experience being rifd and their jobs posted within days offshored. F U Optum. Lucky for me I’m about to retire, so waiting on you motherf----rs to cut my head off and at least I’ll get a severance package.
This is nothing new, but it is sad it is the future of Optum. Very few employees will be left in the US in the next year. I think my team is on the chopping block in October.
