So with layoffs this week (official end date 02/09/23) Does anyone know when we could expect the next wave? I love my job but seriously have zero job security and that's not healthy for anyone of us!
Will there be layoffs?
Maybe spring?
Flex Time/Work Life Balance
Do other CHC Offices have Flex Time ? I work for the Pitt office and we had ours taken away. I didn’t use it much but it was nice to know that I could work longer during the week (4 9 hour shifts) so that I may leave early on a day I or my kids... — read more

Got laid off this week
I foolishly thought we'd be safe till after the first of the year. I know two other people who just got laid off, one I don't know well enough to comment on, but the other was an extremely loyal hard working employee who would have been a great fit... — read more
Reorganize Change Healthcare
The company is a sh-t show.
Several thousand to be laid off between December and March
There several hundred layoffs planned between December and January. The rest a few thousand cuts will be in February/March. Most Directors and above will be part of this in product areas and shared services.
What Layoffs?
Haven't heard of any? Myth?
Layoffs are continuing
6 of us had a group layoff via a teams meeting today. Talk about cold and impersonal. Seems as they chose the ones with least seniority and that’s how they decided who to lay off. I had a feeling this may have been coming with the merger. The layoff... — read more
CHCOPTUM
You must think we're a bunch of stupid people working here. Why would we help the individuals who are trying to setup centralizing processess, such as refunds.??? You're taking away job responsibilities which translates at this juncture to "we don't... — read more

Any insights about possible layoffs?
I try not to worry ahead of time, but the rumors about layoffs circulating still make me very anxious. Consequently, I can hardly manage to focus on my job, which I'm still trying to keep. Does anyone have any insights about cuts, how far we are... — read more
Check your mail. CHC employees are getting settlement checks after CHC was sued
I'm a former employee and a friend who still works there got a check too. Mine was over $1000. CHC was sued for not paying people for the time it took to boot up their computers and get logged in before they could punch into Kronos. The case is... — read more
Apathy and sandbagging continue as nothing happens
We all quietly quitting while we wait for the reorganization to happen. Abysmal productivity and quality Even among leadership we put new projects on hold.
Change Healthcare and Optum are one. What next?
So does anyone know what will happen next? My gut feeling is there will be layoffs on both sides. I am guessing we will be good for the month or two but after that everyone should be prepared for the future. I will post if I hear anything
We are now Optum.
Today is the day.
Not An Equal Opportunity Employer!
Recruiters, stop discriminating against internal candidates!!! You apply to two or three internal listings, receive a confirmation email and then radio silence. Not even a THANKS FOR APPLYING BUT NO message. Or the three listings that I applied... — read more
Any speculation about what changes employees can expect after transition?
What is the typical PTO policy? What is the typical Medical/Dental/Vision benefits package? How long do we keep our current benefits? How will this affect the vaccination policy? How might this affect the various offices and remote employees? How... — read more
Anyone knows when RIFs might happen?
I ask because there are many rumors that RIFs are around the corner.
Merger approved
Well, the Merger was approved by the Judge today. What do we think it means for us in the coming months?
Considering a sales role
I’m interviewing for a sales role. Curious how sales are going. Reps hitting their numbers? Good work life balance? Good training?

The department of justice antitrust trial against United Health ended august 16th
Maybe the judge will announce a decision in September and end the waiting. They presented a good case against it. Doubt that we will become United Health. Will we restructure and reorganize our efforts when the acquisition falls through? Are we... — read more

What changes would you like to see at Change Healthcare?
Chime in on what you would like to see done differently. If you're a contractor, employee, manager, middle manager, VP, a candidate, or other, what would you change to make this company better?
Bias is not so unconscious
There is a trend in this company where the young, white men are laying off the older women over 40. The recently wiped out an entire department of older women and the severance was pitiful
Signs of unprofessional company
There are many who say that this is a very unprofessional company. I agree. What is the most unprofessional thing you've seen this company do?
CHC Lisa Smith (Executive Director) fired for racism.
https://biz.crast.net/we-value-diversity-company-fires-white-woman-who-harassed-black-man-and-his-children-outside-her-home/ Makes you wonder about how she treated employees who report under here.
What makes you want to leave the most?
The list of reasons is probably long, but I'm interested in when you experienced the final breaking point and gave notice?
To be or not to be
I'm curious how this will all play out. Optum had a recent layoff and CHC is on a hiring freeze. Hopefully it will mean a well balanced team. Optum could use some of CHC culture. I wouldn't stress over layoffs because severance packages will be... — read more
Adapting to changes
As someone here said, CHC is trying to adapt to a rapidly changing world. The question is does it do it well?

I hate the wait
I'd like to know if the merger is going to happen or not right now and I'd like to know if my position is going to be cut or not as a result. Having to wait as long as we have and speculate and worry over it is ten times worse. Just let us know... — read more
I used to love working here
Maybe I still haven’t left just for the reason that I used to really love working here and was still hoping it would get better. When did you stop loving your job here?
Layoff of interoperbility team?
We had a candidate tell us that his contract was terminated due Change no longer focusing on interoperability. We're trying to confirm the validity of this change in strategy/termination.
Playing favorites
Among the things that bother me the most in this company is that it is very obvious that a person cannot progress much if he or she is not one of those yes men among the manager's favorites. I'm sure I'll be leaving because of this and I think... — read more
How long does hiring take at this stupid company?
I am a new hire. Was given a verbal offer last Wednesday. Still waiting for a final written offer, what gives? How long should I wait for this written job offer?
How will the company cope with the brain drain?
So many experienced and knowledgeable long-timers leaving? OK. a lot of new employees are leaving as well, but that is not my point. It’s obvious that this company never cared or thought much of its employees, but with these levels of attrition of... — read more
I envy those who don't fear layoffs
I'm in a position where I can't afford to lose my job and I don't have the time or energy to look for a new one. As a result, I'm worried 24/7, which is contributing to my already elevated stress levels. I'd ask for unpaid stress leave if I wasn't... — read more
