I’ve seen a few posts from folks saying they’ve received them already. Isn’t it a bit early? Then again, management can always change tactics.

There are so many questions about RTO and many wrong assertions. This is what I KNOW based on direct involvement with the process. Badge Swipes IN are tracked and reported. The reports are provided to GL 32 leaders every Monday morning. The... — read more

Thread dedicated to 10/30. Please share only credible information.

Are there any consequences if you coffee badge or don’t hit your numbers? Are they giving exemptions due to bad weather?

Has anyone quit their job without giving a two week notice? Don’t want to keep waiting around to get laid off, and at this point I don’t think that a two week notice will do anything. They don’t hire internal US employees so I don’t think they’ll... — read more 

When's the last time that happened?

Hello all, any new information on potential Layoff 10/30? thank you

Too many occasions where someone wants to do good work but blocked by another. Too many emails don not get a response and this includes leadership. How are employees supposed to do their jobs or fulfill the asks and goals given by our leaders? ... — read more

Why do they post positions internally and also on their public job openings page of their website, yet when you apply, you ultimately get an email response that says "We're sorry but the position you have applied for no longer exists". This message... — read more

Looks like they want to replace a lot of claims positions and coding roles with this new AI system Optum Real?

All areas in Optum insight are impacted, each team is looking at a 10-20% reduction. 10/30 is the date, but due to the number of people, may have to do it in waves.

I got a new role as an internal applicant Coding Analyst they switched my team that I would work on and told me about the switch 2 days before training. This other team does not sound like a Coding Analyst Role it sounds like a Medical Coder role not... — read more

How was the RTO for those in the MN/DC office? Did you have monitors on the desk, was it clean, the cafeteria open, etc?

The company appears to be cutting costs by encouraging resignations or creating performance-based grounds for termination, such as enforcing a four-day office attendance policy. Profitability challenges, particularly in the Optum business due to CMS... — read more

Hard to stay engaged with so many changes looming.

Clearly CVS made the right choice if the anecdote is to be believed. I personally LOVED the digs about not doing AI for flashy headlines and to focus on the basics. Also kind of interesting with all of the "the whole system is broken and should be... — read more
