Any more cuts?

Witty emailed all of us today saying there’s a new Optum CEO, as Heather C is moving to a new role. Was she potentially forced out so that Witty could tell the shareholders that we’re doing something?

A bit of a backstory, I worked in M&R for 12 years under several directors, business managers and supervisors. I saw other advocates and team leads leave for one reason or another in that time; turnover is and always has been high, we all get that... — read more 

Layoffs in multiple IT groups across the company

I can't deal with fu--ing layoffs all the fu--ing time!

Town hall for C&S they rarely let us attended but today it’s on our schedule wouldn’t be surprised if this is it

I made a post about an hour or so ago about this and now it’s gone!! Was it deleted?? Meeting on 5/9 is it a layoff? Or town hall? It just says all employees and has 400+ people. Makes me nervous that they added this and the original date was in... — read more 

This place has drained a part of my soul. It’s made me want to leave the industry entirely and pursue something that actually makes a positive difference in people’s lives.

If you're on the fence about leaving UHG, take that as your sign to go. The fear of change can make your current situation seem tolerable in weak moments, but trust me, that illusion always fades fast. Better opportunities won't find you while you're... — read more 

Anyone know what the meeting under Kevin in e&I is about on May 9th?

For the past year, we’ve had so many shuffles with our management in G&A i.e, AI implementations etc bogus metric changes etc. After the 2 weeks of going back and forth 2 therapy sessions, I took the buyout. I would have been with UHC for 20yrs on... — read more

I took the resignation package. Peeps, I saw the writing on the wall! With BT's townhalls messaging, his horrible death, the investigation by the DOJ etc. I wish I had not been correct. Know that you are NOT just a number or an FTE count to be... — read more 

We have a 5/5 town hall, but I saw Insurance Solutions has almost a full day time block Monday 4/28. Does anyone have any insight? They just said keep your day open for impromptu meetings regarding the alignment.

Has there been any layoffs in the FEC or will there be?

Hearing of layoffs yesterday. Where any of these within the UHC Consumer Ops and Experience Team (under Mike Baker? We never heard much following the VSRP if layoffs would follow, so wondering if that was yesterday or if this was different teams.

Is that number accurate? It’s being thrown around a lot. My heart goes out to everyone already affected.

At least for this month, or the one week left of it?

I’ve been at the company 17 years and to be laid off because I’ve been on my new team the last 4 years was a huge disappointment although it was 6 of us that was laid off. I was one of the ones that been there there the longest on my new team so I... — read more 

Any advocate 4 me reps in c&s?

Does anyone else have a town hall meeting on their schedule next Thursday 05/01/25? With all that’s been going on, you just never know nowadays with this company. Just curious to see what this meeting is about.

The end game

Most of the people getting laid off are the ones that are making the most money. It has nothing to do with under performing. This is why the company is doing so poorly. They’re sending jobs over overseas. They do not care about the insured. It’s... — read more 

I am sorry to all the people who were laid off due to UHC lack of ethics, morality and loyalty to the people who they employee to serve their members. IF employees of UHC and UHG formed a UNION a lot of this bullsh*t would stop. I think there needs... — read more

Several people in the C&S division of UHC in Govt Consumer Operations were laid off today. It has begun.

Lots of ELT legal leaders that were marginal performers for decades finally were asked to leave but they are hiding it as retirement since they all have cushy predetermined two year severance agreements. They were making well over $1 million a year... — read more 

Or are we basically looking at endless rolling cuts from here on out? This is horrible. Wishing everyone the best of luck.

Has anyone been layed off today? What departments?

So here it is! Bust your @$$ for YEARS and bye bye! I'm curious to see how our provider groups are going to feel left high and dry. Good Job, United! You've failed us ALL!!!!!!

It’s unfortunate to hear that the entire 3rd and 4th floors at the Las Vegas HQ have been laid off. It’s a challenging situation, and it’s important to acknowledge the impact this has on everyone involved. The only positions remaining are the VP of... — read more
