Anyone have any insight on the contracting layoffs? Contracting leadership is in Minnesota this week and with Vicki Miller leaving it makes it believable.

Wow- a huge earnings miss and a 22% decline in the value of the company in one day? Which senior leaders are going to be fired for this? Or will it just continue to be low level grunts who are laid off?

If I quit, how does one pay back tuition reimbursement? The policy on Sparq addresses in the event of a layoff and then if you quit or get terminated. But the policy does not address how they would get the money back from you. ** The amount of... — read more 

Any layoff/package notices for group benefits underwriters?

Just found out the company I'm interviewing for is owned by optum so if I get it I guess I can't get the vsp severance? I had no idea uhc owned the provider group

Now that the VRSP portal has closed I’m sure they know where they need to cut and by how much… for those of us that did not take the package when will we know if we’re canned or not?

Does anyone know what’s going on in M&R? Lots of meetings today held by VPs all reading scripts.

If I get denied the payout for whatever reason, will I still be required to resign?

For the layoffs that follow the the buyout, will those also have a last day of 5/1? Or would it likely be later and staggered by teams?

Well, I’ve decided to accept the buyout offer. I’m hopeful that I’ll be approved to receive the VRSP payout. I’ve been with the company for 12 years, and I’ll certainly miss my job. However, I’m eager for a change and a new chapter in my life. I... — read more 

Did anyone not on the phones get this offer, or was this only offered to phone agents?

good morning! make sure you guys check the VRSP sharepoint DAILY because they’re adding and deleting things left and right. side note: on sparq search “VRSP” and you can see the last time the sharepoint was modified.

Can someone who got the email tell me more about how that works? Grade 26 and less?

I am in C&S. I did not get any sort of notification and I don't think anybody where I am at was impacted. Otherwise, the gossip mill would have been flying wild. I found this out via Tik Tok and the news of the 30,000 buy out. Was this just one big... — read more

How much better is the voluntary offer compared to waiting for severance? It must be more attractive, or no one would take it, but what are the specific advantages? Does anyone have details? For clarity, I did not receive the offer, but I am curious... — read more 

Just got word that UHC O&E has a voluntary resignation program where you will be paid out a severance package depending on years of service and grade level. DO NOT TAKE THIS OFFER! I repeat, DO NOT TAKE THIS OFFER!!! If you voluntarily quit, you... — read more 

UHG is out here pushing voluntary resignations instead of owning up to a mass layoff, and they won’t even let us talk to our supervisors about it. They’re keeping everything hush-hush, leaving employees in the dark while they try to make this look... — read more 

Got out of meeting today about the voluntary resignation separation program. I'm thinking out taking it. Anyone else?

I have been laid off from United Healthcare recently. It was no surprise to me. The organization was sending around an internal power point presentation on "how to" legally offshore work. They frame it as a downsizing. It is not. United Healthcare is... — read more 

Offshoring does not work. We have UHC for 20 years. Thank you for seeing the obvious. Take care.

Anything happening in the proposals area?

All of Operations has been having meetings for grades 30 and above about moving things around. Anyone know what this is about?

I've seen a lot of Optum layoffs. Anything coming for UHC? Anything under core operations areas?

BCBS is so much better and I wish where I worked offered it. While I believe all health insurance is somewhat problematic, in comparison BCBS is much more trustworthy and customer service much more helpful. Where I work, the main feedback on the... — read more

We were basically told the entire PEx team will take provider calls or there will be layoffs. We must cut costs and reduce expenses and we are the sacrificing team this time around.

Sorry to anyone laid off today in C&S Medicaid... su-ks

Advocates are now in training to take customer service phone calls 50% of the time instead of layoffs. The whole department will be gone soon, it was confirmed today and the bosses were all told.

UPMC brought MedExpress.

Hearing lots of buzz that a reduction in force is expected in October. Any details?

Just got in invite for 8am on Thursday and we all know Thursday is the day. Subject makes it seem work related, but suspicous due to the time of day and day of week. Has anyone heard any rumors?

Gearing up for yet another round of layoffs in Q1 2024. Sr Mgt confirmed 1/17/24; a Manager I was to be offered a role with had to pull a requisition back due to layoff advisement at senior levels of their area. This is to be company wide. Layoffs... — read more
