Now that the merger date has been pushed to February, what does that mean for us? It doesn't fill me with confidence that layoffs were announced practically at the same time. I'm worried we might see another round (and an even bigger one at that)... —  read more

The new OptumInsights CEO is notorious for cutting expenses and maximizing profits. In other words, expect layoffs as always. Automation always happens everywhere. The potential for automation with Change and Optum is very big. If you're scared, you... —  read more

Any news on furloughs, layoffs, or other organization changes during the next quarter? I'm assuming Quarter 1 results are unfavorable like anywhere. No merit raises, but there are funds to match personal donations.
