Thread regarding Optum layoffs

No emails before tomorrow morning, right?

That’s how it’s always been - the notices go out the day of the layoffs.

@av
I received a personal call stating my position in clinic was eliminated. There will ALWAYS be a "my position". I am on FMLA...

That su-ks to hear you all. If you don't mind, what subsidiary of Optum are you in? Okay to stay quiet if it would out your team.

For RIFs in the past, the manager telling the employee they were RIFed was told to send a meeting invitation the morning of the RIF and not to do it too soon before they are ready to read the script to you. The meeting invitation is typically called business update or quick check-in--something vague and not on your calendar the day before. The manager reads a script from HR and won't answer your questions. It's a cold and brief call.

Generally the invite goes out day of. There are always going to be exceptions. For large layoffs it’s generally all done around the same time.
