For those markets staying open next year, how are they decided who stays and who goes?

They say we are age until at least January-does anyone know for sure this is the case? Or will they surprise us 10/17 and start letting us go?

Been with the company 20+ years. Keep my head down, my mouth shut, just keep making my widgets (quality audits) and have successfully survived so far. Watched so many positions be RIFed only to be replaced overseas months later as “actually needed... — read more 

Any insight for 10/17 on if Landmark will be impacted?

It seems like the trend is that layoffs are mainly affecting teams that joined Optum and UHG through acquisitions. Has anyone else noticed this? In every major round of layoffs, most of the impacted individuals I see are from those teams. Of course... — read more

Let’s face it, we all need a solid three-day weekend every week to recharge from the daily grind and all the cr-p we have to take all the time. Plus, it might even motivate those managers who seem to do nothing all day to actually pitch in once in a... — read more 

…if they disabled the system that catches voicemails so it would look like we’ve been taking more calls. Is this just busywork?

Fingers crossed for all of us.

Why doesn't Optum offer an Early Retirement package and allow a reduction by a more humane method for anyone who would like to consider that option? Most other companies do this.

Earlier post mentioned a layoff in MI, any other areas affected?

This is a position that they're trying to gaslight as this brand-new position, but in April the Provider Engagement Specialist role was already eliminated which seems to have been 100% identical. I've heard of a big Landmark layoff on 10/17 with a... — read more
