Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Your sign

Every few months the team is re-orging, your role or duties change again and again, people moving around and mysteriously people quitting or people being actually be laid off = major red flags. Should be like a giant red alarm going off.

Be smart! Use your intuition.
That inside feeling is usually pretty correct.
Prepare, apply internally, apply externally or you can wait it out.

@gy every team seems to be the same. American managers are just as bad here, totally rude and arrogant. I cant decide who's worse, just different forms of nastiness both horrible

@eq you can move but be warned they tell your manager. I used to work in MR as well. That place was a he-l hole or Indian a-s kissing and backstabbing politics. It obviously depends on your manager and if they are that type of leader.

@ea which division? I moved to UHC Tech -MnR and it's horrible! Nobody knows what they are doing, very political, too much hiding info and backstabbing. Most TPMs and PMs have zero technical skills nor management skills. It's total chaos... Sh-t storm. What is the internal move policy? Can I apply for other positions within 6 months of moving?I have also stated looking outside in non healthcare domains...

@e6 I have had the opposite experience. I moved internally and am much happier, away from micromanaging Bs. : )

@c4 I can confirm. I moved internally in March. Not only I am lost as I don't know anything about their system, the team members are terrible, manager is not bothered to have tram meetings, no knowledge sharing, struggling to get included in discussions as they think i am not knowledgeable to contribute (how can I be with no documentation or training) . Now the department funds are being cut, nobody has enough work and I have a feeling RIF are looming around the corner. My previous team was way better in hindsight! I am trying to get back but their funding is frozen. I am applying to external jobs now so I can make sure I can still afford to get my kids holiday presents. I am kicking myself.

Don't apply internally unless it's that or RIF, you'll end up in a worse spot!!!

Organizations that make decisions with only the SHAREHOLDER in mind will falter in 2030's. Companies need to consider ALL STAKEHOLDERS not just stockholder.
