Look--it's happened to THOUSANDS of us. it's not fun. it's not "a new adventure." it just straight up and down stinks. When I was first laid off, I spent 2 days just spinning out. There were so many unknowns and so many things I had to account... — read more

Sources are saying internal leadership is going to utilize H-B1 Visas to train replacements within the US and then send them home packing. In addition, they are expecting massive cuts to Healthcare from the new administration. Optum along with other... — read more 

It's because we're starting year 2 of a 3 year Medicare rate cut and as a company, Optum is completely incapable of increasing bottom line/operating revenue. We say we innovate but really we just terminate people to keep our MLR at 85% and hit our... — read more 

I hope you will all find better jobs soon. Don’t let this bring you down in any way, nor make you think that it’s somehow your fault. It’s not. It’s pure greed.

How many from AbleTo?

Thank you new CEO, Tim Noel

Does anyone notice any relation to the issue s coming out of DC and the current layoffs (ie, government programs more than private ones). How about anything related to DEI, like older women 55 and up or some demographic like that?

All grade levels including SLT, 32, 31, 30, 29 and 28s. Unclear on full count but assume no less than 20.

I was moved from HH to more the back end in another dept but I still kept in contact with some of my old team mates and I’m hovering over their name in teams chat and it won’t display the last time they logged in or show the organization map. It... — read more 

They were always going to occur eventually—whether we're doing well or not. We've seen cuts in both good and bad times. It's just a numbers game, and workers are the easiest target. Furthermore, the offshoring and AI trends will only continue and... — read more 

I heads 200 to 300 laid off. Quality specialists maybe?

I don’t think that is a coincidence. The outage and lack of integration was a disaster and a black eye for us. Also, our work from home culture didn’t align with the work office one of the MN folks. It seems destined to fail from the beginning, so... — read more 

Im locked out of my system. Can someone please hit control alt delete on their keyboard and give me the helpdesk phone number to the Americas? Or create a ticket for me please? Needing my MS ID.

Have any CHC employees been impacted? If so, what areas?

Was it due to the change healthcare acquisition and subsequent outage or the mu---r of the CEO? Obviously it was financial reasons, but was curious if you asked and found out why. I was so mad when I was told that I didn’t ask…I never had a single... — read more

All of home health was just let go under Home & Community. Over 300 HHCCs.

How can anybody be remotely productive knowing their last day at the company is already determined?

If I'm laid off, at least I won't have to stress about layoffs 24/7 anymore. Yay?

How many times do they have to lie and say we're "valued" and it was "a difficult decision". Liars. They said it's due to loss of business, yet chc didn't lose any business, it's been non-stop busting a-s with a huge work flow. It was really cute... — read more 

Just finished the call with 42 others and we all just got the boot. Apparently there will be more calls coming down the pike in Rx. Which is crazy because they just added 6 additional reps 2 months ago and they were part of it. Best of luck :-(

Is it for a 1:1? Or something else?

Use this thread to keep each other informed throughout the day. Well wishes to all.

First, if they joined recently, their chances of being laid off are lower. They’re not as well-paid as those of us who’ve been here longer, and we all know pay is the main factor in layoffs. Second, being young today means they can more easily find a... — read more

Unfortunately here we go again. Please post position and dept if you were laid off. Let’s help each other.

For those that have been through this here or are in the know, when you get notified of your layoff, is it immediate or do they want you to work for an additional week, etc?

Does anyone have any idea which departments and where are getting laid off tomorrow?

So other than Home Health are other H&CC ( Navi) employed at risk? SNF, IRF, LTAC?? If so what function? Home calls? Peer to peer? MDS? A&D? Registration?

Is the layoff tomorrow affecting Optum at Home and if so what markets?
