I was hired in as full telecommute and have never worked in an office with this company. I live in a very rural area. How would I “return to an office”?? I looked and there is no optum or UHG buildings even in the biggest city near me. How would that... — read more

I guarantee the recent RTO order for Minneapolis and DC hybrid employees is only the beginning. I predict this fall there will be no more remote designation if you live in these areas and everyone will be going into the office. And, as noted in the... — read more 

July 17 is the next day for purging. Optum Insight & Tech and all of UHC will be hit. GL 29,30,31 without directs.

Is there a single person here who actually worked less from home? I know that's not true for me. I'm basically available throughout the entire day. I respond to emails, jump on quick calls, handle tasks immediately, all while at home. At the office... — read more

The latest rumor is that it’s just contractors being affected, but nothing solid yet.

The broadway show started. Clap for job security.

this board is designed to talk about layoffs. saying, "can anyone confirm [rumor X]?" is not: fear mongering, bullying, causing issues. it's asking, "is there rain in the forecast?" I get that there's a big push to hate people who ask... — read more 

Anyone have any details about who will be impacted? Heard through the grapevine a huge number of layoffs will occur mid-July and OI will be the most impacted.

Has anyone been given any direction on where we are headed for the long term? Particularly for field based APPs?

Care Navigators now entering the Philippines to help with HRA/FMC assessments. By summer- the Philippines team will expand to full role duties. I think Care Navigators will be outsourced soon enough.

So I received a phone call and email about UAB dropping UHC/UHG insurance and ending the contract. What am I gonna do now? Should I find another insurance and drop the one I have through us as an employee? And should I notify HR so they won’t take it... — read more 

I was willing to deal with the company a bit longer before going full force into looking elsewhere but the rude MFers overseas who we are forced to speak with regarding IT issues is the last straw. Rude incompetent Indians is the last thing a company... — read more 

Between layoffs and attrition, most of the best people are gone. What’s left is a skeleton crew and yes-men who won’t push back. Good luck hitting those targets now.

All of y’all who have posted about getting 20% more at a new company where are you applying? Because I think it’s a bunch of bs. I have a masters degree and what I get paid now it’s the most I’ll get plus a nice PTO package, I hate to say it but... — read more

Anxiety, triggered by the thought that I might lose my job, has taken over my life.

How does the severance package pay out work? Is the payout for your time only at UHG or does your past time with a company they bought out/acquired count towards the severance pay out? Thank you!

Optum has become a disappointment. All companies have the good in bad. It’s a given! No one speaks to each other, some think they’re above others. I keep seeing the same “leadership” team recognize each other. It’s laughable. Staff are going on LOA... — read more 

Why is transparency always such a problem with this company? A little honesty would go a long way, especially when people’s jobs and lives are on the line.

I have been hearing that it might be announced next week that Optum will separate from UHG to please the DOJ and many other reasons. Any validity in that?

It’s an attrition tactic. Many won’t be able to comply. There’s not enough space for everyone returning. It will be a logistical nightmare for some, and for others, the time lost commuting and the additional expenses might be the final straw. Other... — read more
