Best advice I can give: look now, not later. Searching while you have a job puts you in a way better position. You can be pickier, you're not desperate. Don't wait until it's too late.

Curious how others felt about today’s town hall. Did the messaging resonate with you? I’m trying to process it and would appreciate different perspectives. If you want, tell me: • What specifically rubbed you the wrong way? • What words or moments... — read more

Are you hearing anything?

No COLA, no more bonuses, and now 0.75% raise. While they continue to rack in millions for senior leadership.

I wanted to ask for some clarification regarding the recent changes in Teams and the organizational view. Previously, it clearly showed the team I’ve worked with consistently, but now when I look at my organization, it lists many different names I’m... — read more 

The optum board is always more alive than this one or UHCs. What are the thoughts on 2/19? Per the Optum board big layoffs that day? For UHG/UHC?

Since I'm leaving, figured I'd share what I wish I'd known. Don't trust promises from above. Keep receipts because people will throw you under the bus. Management won't protect you. HR protects the company. Have a good life.

I’m going to say what a lot of people are thinking but no one is saying out loud. Why is “CAP” suddenly being mentioned in almost every group meeting lately? We’re repeatedly told “it’s not a bad thing,” but historically, CAP has been used as... — read more 

Anyone else find it sus that merit got delayed to 2/16? That aligns with multiple reports of layoffs on 2/16. People on my team are hearing the managers are going to deliver severance papers instead of merit to those who are being let go. Normally I... — read more 

Wondering if any noise around layoffs coming before the common reviews are completed. I thought they were to be scheduled this week or next week? It seems so quiet and slow.

How are folks feeling about these cr-ppy raises & no bonuses/low bonuses? Are people planning to stick around ? Do you think you’re getting laid off soon? Things aren’t looking so good right now and everyone from my team is getting anxious

Why even post a position when they had a reduction in staff rolls available for this year? I’m assuming due to layoffs.

For those who were laid off — especially in Medicare/Medicaid Member Services (Community & State): Looking back now, what were the real signs you were about to be laid off? Not rumors. Not assumptions. Actual changes you noticed in hindsight —... — read more

Did those who took vsrp get your W2? I ensured my address was accurate.. still haven't gotten mine. If you got yours, when did you get it?

Is anyone’s noticing their department is going broke? India team is only growing larger but we are all of a sudden out of funds to host any events, cater , etc. Oh & dont forget the .1% raise that we are all anticipating.

Show of hands, who votes to strike? We should get organized and show this machine who is really doing the work. Who is down for a strike?! 🙋🏿‍♂️ 🙋🏾‍♂️ 🙋‍♂️ 🙋🏽‍♂️ 🙋🏼‍♂️ 🙋🏻‍♂️ 🙋🏽‍♀️ 🙋‍♀️ 🙋🏿‍♀️ 🙋🏾‍♀️ 🙋🏻‍♀️ 🙋🏼‍♀️ United we stand Divided we fall

Holy Cow this company is cooked. Absolutely rutterless townhall talking about AI. I wouldn't be surprised if this company chapter 11s in the next 3 years. And Optum is sold off for scraps.

For those who may not be aware, there was a massive layoff at UHC last Friday in which hundreds of leaders were let go. The layoffs affected employees in Customer Service, Service Account Management, Directors, Business Analysts, Quality, and many... — read more 

What do you think? Compared to the past emails? After the earnings call?

Stock is down nearly 20% today and the message from the top is about mission and culture and embracing AI. Only one sentence about Medicare rate notice. If anyone watched the Capitol Hill hearing from last week, both parties are gunning for us. Yet... — read more 

Are more layoffs expected to come post annual reviews in February?

I'm kind of hoping my name is on the next list. Things have gotten so bad here that a severance seems like the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I just want out.

RIFs started today, 1/23, as predicted by previous commenters and confirmed by my manager: 60% of our team got the axe

I haven't heard anything beyond recent rumors, but that means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Merit pool is horrible this year. A lot of 3's are getting close to nothing and then they expect to score high EXI. Feel bad for gl 26 and below because they were supposed to get consistent raises but now they lose out on RRP and only get 1%.

I’m debating whether to sell my UNH stock now or wait until after the earnings report. If it’s going to tank next week, I’d rather sell it now and be done with it.

Like surely the company wouldn't allow us to hire someone, and then immediately tell us we need to lay people off... right?

I keep hearing that the reason this company does layoffs is to help the stock price. But since they never do a formal press release announcing the layoffs, how can layoffs possibly affect the stock? I thought the whole point of laying people off a... — read more
