As someone here said, CHC is trying to adapt to a rapidly changing world. The question is does it do it well?
Recent Layoffs on June 9th
I have been working with CHC for 5+ years but suddendly I see a big shift on the managment and Organization change. well, I am aware about Merger but still feels like people are leaving and laid off here and there. Next 6 months or may be 3 months... — read more
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
Hiring Halted
Hiring is now frozen across all units.
Everybody is doing better
I know three people who were laid off in December. All of them have new jobs with better pay and better company culture (at least that's what they've been telling me, and they have no reason to lie). They said the job market is good enough right now... — read more
I'm no longer worried about layoffs
It will almost be a relief if it happens to me. I'm always tired and overworked. I'd be looking for a new job if I had time to do it, but mostly I just eat and sleep when I get home. I don't know if this is the case for everybody or if my boss is an... — read more

Either Merge or Get off of the Pot
It doesn't really matter to me.
Layoffs are not "inevitable!"
Stop stating things as fact that you can't know to be true and scaring people for no good reason. Stop speculating and stressing over this and wait to see what's going to happen. There are enough things in the world today to worry about, don't add... — read more
I hope the merger is blocked
I don't know if this is true for everybody or even the majority, but I like my job. I've also heard horror stories about UHG and its culture and work environment. Once the merger goes through, things will change for us drastically and not in a good... — read more

DOJ to sue to block merger
Looks like the DOJ is going to block the merger. This is good and bad news. CHC assumed the risk should the deal fall through. They will have to pay UHG 300 million. Rest assured they will be looking to make up that money.
Stay tuned....
DOJ approved the merger. https://distilinfo.com/healthplan/optum-finalizes-plans-to-merge-with-change-healthcare-by-2022/
Is anything else going to be hit?
It's rarely only one location that is affected, should the rest of us be worried?

Jobs going to India
They don’t care that we are in a middle of a pandemic they axe our jobs only to send them over to India. Basically they are saying we don’t care if you die as long as our friends in India are safe and we pay slave wages to them. I guess upper... — read more
More info on severance
Severance is minimum 4 weeks, maximum 26 weeks. Based on tenure. Is there any way we can get more info on severance. What happens to medical coverage?
What do you make of the change in the date?
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

Wouldn’t count on long term goals
From what I’m experiencing and witnessing CHC is not a company to have long term goals with. You will be asked to compromise your standards and work ethics, as well as your integrity. Working here wasn’t as bad as it could have been but then again I... — read more
