Kristy Duffey is leaving optum July 15. That’s the post.

Some of these snarky comments in response to actual legitimate concerns about job security are fairly telling to the amount of Kool-Aid that some of you have ingested from the Optum/UHG culture where the "mood elevator" tells you to get to "curious"... — read more 

What happened to having some semblance of job security?

Hi all. So is this week coming up the potential week of layoffs or the following week? I’m nervous. While I am very unhappy with my role and the environment of this company, I am just nervous if I never am able to find something new.

So........... will anyone talk about this July 18th event?? We need more answers. This stress is not good. Why didn't everyone receive the email about this mtg that we all need to be home for? We're opening our clinics after this mtg. Why? Why do we... — read more 

List of penalties applied in this article is unbelievable - and the offshoring of medical records hasn’t even been flagged by HHS yet. This must be a case of “too big to fail” - but I always thought that CMS looked at privacy violations and security... — read more 

Is that we all have to check this religiously while some have known the details of all of this for months. I hope they can sleep at night.

I keep seeing the rumors on here that July will be a RIF month… does anyone know who exactly will be involved in these round of RIFs?

What culture? Culture is defined by cultivation. You need to have an actual organization with vision and goals grounded in values. They can be tuned and adjusted over time, but not completely undermined. You need to treat employees with respect. You... — read more 

Episource will be merging with optum the end of August. Has anyone heard if there will be any layoffs? They are supposed to send out the transition letters this month and I have heard from previous merges that’s when they made their cuts. They only... — read more 

Is this true? With all the roller coaster in recent times due to unrelenting fear of layoffs, stressful work, uncertainty, I almost wish I get booted next round.

Date will be 7/11 or 7/25 (non-payroll week) They will likely eliminate the SW mgr roles. Outreach and SW/BH teams will either be eliminated or downsized. I have good word that LM offices will be eventually phased out to merge with United offices... — read more 

Any word on corporate/shared services layoffs and if so what debts? For Landmark/Optum HBMC.

does anyone know for certain if CHAs are going to be laid off this month?

Welcome to our department circus, starring our very own, Deceptive Diva! In this dazzling display of dysfunction, she wields her one and only skill—crafting the perfect sales pitch — to weave a web of lies and manipulate her way to the top, all... — read more 

Over the past few weeks, multiple Landmark SWMs put the "open to work" banner on their LinkedIn profile. This week, they're all mysteriously down. Were they told to take them down? Or were they given reassurance that their jobs were "safe"?

Why are you hanging on? Get out of this place. Dump it fast and move on. If you wait until it takes you down, it's too late.

Only another day in our extraordinary workplace! It's a magical realm where the qualifications you need are not in your resume but in your contacts list. Our esteemed leader has a delightful talent for spotting "potential" in her closest friends... — read more 

Any news about layoffs? Is this market included and if so anyone know what positions?

Optum Orlando is the worst. Beyond poor leadership and the lack of integrity, this is like no other I've ever witnessed. I'm sure layoffs will only affect hard-working people and not "leaders" in positions they have no business being in. The doctors... — read more 

Read the latest about Optum acquiring than immediately selling. Home health division is going down. This is proof you crazy nonbelievers. Warning.

The only reason why I'm still at Optum is that I kept hoping they'd send me off with a severance package. But after so many layoffs in the last 12 months and me still being here, it's not worth it. This place is toxic and I can no longer justify... — read more 

Ah, our dear "leader," is at it once again; the virtuoso of intellectual larceny, bless her heart. It's almost poetic how she pilfers ideas with the finesse of a seasoned pickpocket, only to parade them as her own grand epiphanies. Watching her... — read more 

I’m in no position now to be laid off. Too much debt, dependants at home, cost of living through the roof. Given the job mkt, I don’t expect to land another job in quite a while. I'm a dedicated hard worker and fully aware that it doesn’t make any... — read more 

What’s the deal anyone on inside know if there is one for sure happening this month and if so how many? And how do they select who to let go?

Keep hearing all sorts of rumors since Blue Cross is pulling out. Are they going cut a bunch of jobs? Should I apply for a different position now? Any insight would be welcomed

Heard home and community have a lot more layoffs coming this month. Anyone else hearing this also? I’m so nervous this job market is such cr-p!

The Pittsburgh office is shutting down, client managers are leaving, and clients are prepared to leave. Employees are being reassigned to customer service, and the systems are still not functional. Chaos reigns!

It feels like we've been having non-stop layoffs for a few years now. Am I wrong? As soon as one round is done we start hearing rumors about more happening within a month or two and they're yet to be wrong. This is affecting the mental health of... — read more 

My goal was to retire from optum but I've made the decision that the psychological stress caused by working here isn't worth it. Needless to say, the company's values no longer align with my values. I feel liberated in my decision to leave!

Our market has received notice that there will be layoffs in July. We won’t know all that is effected for 1-2 weeks. Not sure if knowing in advance helps or not. It is stressful!!!!!

Is anyone else having an issue with Optum/CHC not given unemployment the correct date that you were laid off? Now you are not eligible for benefits?

They have been asking for 1800 hours of VTO per week and today we got word they will be offering temporary part-time status but only for those who are higher performers. Isn’t that kind of strange? Wouldn’t they want the higher performers still... — read more
