Topics regarding layoffs at Optum

Not many avenues to advance

With the trends of AI and offshoring, many of us are likely now viewed as just temporary workers. I adjusted my expectations accordingly and stopped making any effort to progress my career. I just take my paycheck and try to do only the bare minimum... — read more

Feeling the pressure of uncertainty

The idea of layoffs sends my anxiety through the roof. I try to stay calm, but it’s hard when I’ve been hunting for a new job for months with no luck. What baffles me even more is how some people aren’t fazed by the idea of losing their jobs. It... — read more 

I’m not grateful for my job

Nobody should be. A job is neither a gift nor a handout. We all work hard and it’s us who create value, actually earn the money for the company, and get just a minuscule fraction of earnings in return.

We need to put a stop to this

Can we put whoever compiles the layoff list at the top of the next one? It’s painfully clear they have no idea what they’re doing. How else do you explain us losing some of our best employees in every single round? Someone needs to step in and fix... — read more

Another market sent to the graveyard

The Temple/Austin market of Landmark was told today that the market will be closing on 1/31 as it was not profitable. They lost a contract that will end on 12/31 but were slowly admitting M&R patients. So I guess the M&R patients could not sustain... — read more 

"We Help People"

I find it funny that UHG/UHC always has videos of people that the company has helped, yet, They've got one of the biggest denial rate of all healthcare companies. Two faced a-s-hats.

Let's stage a one day walk out

UhG as a whole should all walk out and show them we mean business. You can not keep benefitting from our patients and us as employees!!! They are never going to admit they (executive) abuse the system, cheat patients, and deny legitimate claims. Ot... — read more
