Is it possible that so many people want to be laid off or am I imagining things? I don't understand why anyone would want to lose their job at this moment?
All clear
Well, I didn't hear of any layoffs, and I am still here....
Anyone at LHI?
Looking for info on how things are at LHI. Any better off there than at optum?
6/1 is coming! Are we safe?
I hear more layoffs and restructuring will happen tomorrow 6/1. Anyone else hear the same?
I AM DONE
I am about done with this company, my supervisor and manager suck. Now they put the biggest di-k in a position he shouldn't be in. We are screwed. I told my supervisor to leave me the he-l alone. I am meeting the goals, and she wants to give me at... — read more

Warn Notice
Curious as to why I can find nothing when I look on MN’s Warn Notice for United or Optum-I thought they were required to report there??
Gimmicks continue
Townhall was a joke! There was an excellent moment to acknowledge layoffs, it was skirted. Who hired this compulsive pos, low in substance. Oh btw he can’t let go of teenager selfie OCD.
Make sure to take care of yourself first
I see so many of you breaking your backs working for nothing. Too often you will work 50+ hours a week with little to no compensation for that. Promotions are rare, as are bonuses. There is no room for growth or career advancement within Optum. So... — read more
6/1 layoffs for Optum Infusion
We have heard this Thursday will be the day for “restructuring”. Many front end ppl will be gone (intake/benefits etc). Anyone else heard this?
If you thought Medicaid accounts kept you safe from being laid off…
Just know that offshore works Medicaid behavioral, medical, and dental claims for a variety of states. From State of Alaska all the way to the State of Wisconsin. Corporate is playing a very nasty game with us.
What's going on?
Alot of my team members and managers have been moved to another team. Why? Everything is hush hush. Are the ones left getting laid off?
Unrealistic expectations
No one wants to work at a place where they constantly have to fear losing their job. I don't have any motivation anymore. My boss acts as if we should be grateful to be working here, although I believe there are also those who have realized that... — read more

Clinical performance layoffs and reorg
Anyone know anything about what’s happening in Dr. Frank’s group? Specially risk adjustment center of excellence
So what’s the severance?
I assume I will get chopped at the neck here soon. Risk adjustment operations team. With the 2024 advanced notice and model changes I know it’s only a matter of time before RA efforts all get scaled back, not to mention the economy collapsing under... — read more
100x
Today my four year-old turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, what does 100x mean?" And when I told him "It's Sandeep's bonus multiplier if he hits his RIF targets", he started crying.
A Cultural Revolution @ Optum
Fall in line, Comrade, and do not question Dear Leader, lest you be sent to the reëducation camps. For we love Dear Leader. Without His firm and steady hand we would still be wandering in the tech wilderness. We feel shame for our past tech... — read more
5/18
Just heard 5/18 had more layoffs as expected in the ECS BH areas. Next should be 6/1. I have only heard thus far of Edgar (over all of ECS). Anyone else?

No transparency
This is one of the least transparent companies I have ever worked for. Was this place always like this? Instead of sharing the information with their employees, the company is letting its employees needlessly stress out while trying to make sense... — read more
Optum Thursdays
Just got the word that another round of layoffs will be coming to anyone who isn’t cross-trained in different platforms. If this sounds like you, I suggest you come up with a backup plan immediately.
Sandeep on his way out? Replaced by ChatGPT?
Heard from a reliable source that someone did an analysis of his recent presentations and they were indistinguishable from what ChatGPT could produce. Just think of the money the company will save! And I, for one, welcome our new ChatGPT... — read more
Cognizant getting the boot here
Related to this? Google is appealing an NLRB decision to categorize it as a "joint employer" of Cognizant staff.
Nerve wrecking
I used to be very worried whenever there was a rumor about layoffs. However, the layoffs have become so frequent that I have become too numb to even care anymore. I think I'm not the only one? I can't say that I would like to be laid off, but being... — read more
Physicians in recent layoffs?
Anyone know if any docs have been included in the recent layoffs? I know no one is ever safe but wondering if any physicians have been included in the RIFs the past few weeks.
Next layoff May 18th
We have heard that Optum infusion pharmacy will be getting rid of their acute business and keeping chronic only. That will make lots of employees loose their current position as they will be eliminated. Is that lay-off possible May 18th?
“The Purge” begins again
Biggest perk of working here is the constant adrenaline rush. Will you survive this round? Am I next? Who is next? When is it happening again? Keeping us all on our toes all the time. Fuelling our fire to be even more productive. These new... — read more
Are case management teams “safe”?
Is there a history of laying off teams within the CM programs? Our teams seem somewhat stable but nothing if certain.
Massive Optum and UnitedHealth Group Layoffs beginning
Facts: Flat hiring, no additional FTE growth for the forseeable future. Planning underway for 8-10% reduction in force, eliminating low performers and teams, collapsing badly staffed spans/layers of leadership. Honestly this is badly needed to... — read more

My team is very understaffed
I'm just wondering how we're going to continue to function as everyone is overworked and exhausted. Can it get any more frustrating than when the boss says that we are not understaffed but we are actually lazy? It's so humiliating.
