Thread regarding Optum layoffs

1/23 Layoffs Thread

If you are impacted by today’s layoff please post here to help consolidate information. Please post your division (Optum Tech, Optum Insight, OptumRX, etc) if you feel comfortable, how many people in your team. If you want to go deeper like M&R, E&I, etc that helps.

Don’t forget, you will get through this, you will bounce back. This place is toxic and I hope we all can find some peace.

Got the call today:

  • EMEA / OPTUM
  • Yesterday, I randomly got asked by upper management if my cellphone number in the system was correct
  • Today, I received a surprise invite to a call with a manger several levels above my role and someone from HR
  • Notified that my role is under risk of redundancy as they are cutting funding for roles that are not purely operational.
  • Given 4 weeks to find a new internal role or take the severance package.
  • Unaware of anyone else in the team who was impacted, but they said that the whole team is at risk, not just me.

Bummer, but life goes on. For those who are saying they're checking the forum, worrying or losing sleep: its fine, you'll be fine. This too shall pass.
