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 

The executives love to harp about "social justice" in all of their meetings. They spew out all of the standard politically correct verbiage, like programmed NPCs from video games. Well, one popular area of social justice they won't touch is the call... —  read more 

Is the point of Change Healthcare to automate everything possible? Should I be worried as a nurse working for Optum that Change with try to bot my job?

Things seem even worse over there than they are here. Just go and look at their forum here. It seems to me like we are simply jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Here's the link:... —  read more 

No one is safe at this company, least of all those that work hard and try to make a difference. They are about cutting costs, everywhere they can, they do not see workers as people, we are numbers. Pretty much that is how it is in most Corp America... —  read more

I heard people in Florida were getting furloughed? Is this just a rumor?

Is there anybody here who can say they have a competent manager who knows what he or she is doing and who they can turn to if they have a question or an issue to solve? I'm honestly curious because I'm yet to run into one. I nearly forgot, those... —  read more 

What office's are closing???

Hi There were several people laid off today at Richmond BC office in Canada. Will there be more tomorrow or this is it? There was no email so probably not over yet.

This company hires tons of SVPs, RVPs, AVPs and any other letter you want to put in front of a VP title. Some of the VPs have never been a VP before but come in off the streets thinking they are going to "Change Healthcare". Incredibly top... —  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.

If you don't like the way CHC is run then get yourself a copy of Das Kapital and vote Socialist in the next election. Otherwise this is just good, ol' fashioned, unfettered, American robber-baron capitalism.

This place is overwhelming! More pressure on the people that do work! Snakes in sheep clothing! It is a joke working here! No one is happy!

If the manager is not in good standing they are eliminating the teams as well. Those who are on teams but in good standing can simply re-apply if able.

I was laid off with most of my team in CA. I was actually one of the best performing managers with a 98% engagement score. Those that were laid off seemed random and a mix of my best and worst performers. Unfortunately they don’t seem to be cutting... —  read more

Are they doing group calls with managers on the call to let go of employees or are they doing it individually?

So far it just looks like the Winston Salem office.

Some layoffs took place at Winston Salem today. Supposed to be reevaluating the numbers in June to decide if there will be more. They may simply be trying to get around the WARN Act by spacing the layoffs 30 days apart, so they aren't required to... —  read more

He didn't say when, where or how many, just that they will be happening. Fortunately the lady that spoke before him taught us some breathing exercises, so if you get RIFed just take a few breaths and everything will be ok in a minute or two.
