Only Insight and ERA affected or are there more layoffs happening? It's payday tomorrow. Does this mean that from now on we can be hit any day and any week? Jesus. They just can’t let us breathe for even a moment.

They just pulled us into an impromptu team meeting and announced they just cut our manager and to expect more as the day goes on. No one is safe. Previously used to only hear about layoffs the week before paydays but tomorrow is payday so through... — read more 

Enterprise Reporting and Analytics (ERA) got hit again. my team has had now 5 rounds of layoffs since last October and I got it this time. last day is 09/27. sending love to everyone affected.

Following the algorithm of the last 2 layoffs (4/18, 7/18) are we looking at 10/17 for the layoff date?? (third Thursday of the month, 4 moths apart)

Putting this on the top of the chat, anyone have an info/intel-facts encouraged, opinions discouraged, we are all professionals here, we know we cant trust Optum and we need to look for other jobs ,blah blah.....just looking for intel. And DEF don't... — read more

Mostly concerning which areas will be hit the hardest in October/November?

Are staff the legacy Change Healthcare staff that are getting laid off receiving severance according to the Optum severance policy on Sparq or something else? I have heard mixed information so I do not know if there was a severance cutover date.

It’s only a matter of time before every insurance company does this. It’s cheaper no salary, benefits or expenses to pay. Even a revenue generating position isn’t safe in this company anymore. They will find a way to eliminate everyone if they can — read more

Any ideas of Optum Insights Payment Integrity being affected? Restarting a new forum to filter out all of the political rants.

Any idea if this includes Optum Insight Payment Integrity

Our market in Landmark has an hour long meeting on Thursday with this title. Does anyone have any info? I thought meetings called “clinical updates” had to do with layoffs.

I can’t afford to lose the job now. I guess not many can these days.

Following the pattern of recent layoffs are we looking at another RIF in October? If so has anyone heard ANYTHING about who/what will be affected?? Any intel is appreciated, and negative comments discouraged.

I’ve now heard from many colleagues on both clinical and business side that the IESNP clinical senior leaders are failing, not surprising if you know who they are. All divisions are tired of the excuses and poor leadership, especially when their... — read more 

I was laid off mid April due to “lack of work/downsizing” and have been gone maybe 3 months. I received a call asking if I would like to come back. Has this happened to anyone else?

I gave my notice last week and I was shocked when I was asked if there was anything they could do to keep me. I'm not under the impression that I'm irreplaceable or so important that I'm the only one being asked this. My guess is that so many people... — read more
