Does anyone have any details on a possible RIF in October?

I always thought this company was horrible, but at this point it’s like a caricature of the workplace. I just can’t stand coming to work everyday watching everybody terrified of losing a job any moment. It’s all so cruel and dehumanizing. One of the... — read more

UHG/OPTUM are predatory companies. Get out if an when you can. They buy out and destroy competition. They buy out to acquire customers from the business they acquire and then destroy them and layoff people. Unfortunately, they can't be stopped... — read more

For those affected by the recent layoffs

E&I CIO seems to have quietly left. No information but he’s off of teams and org map. Seemed like a pretty ambitious, strong leader.

Did anyone ever find out why she left? They never even announced it besides an email to GL 31+. So weird no announcement to the peons.

What is this suspicious meeting Aug 8th for all SICCs and CMCCs? It's called State of the Union. Are they actually going to be honest with the workforce about future changes???

I just started, and I’m already terrified. I worked in insurance. I see some of you suggest widening the search beyond the health industry. Any suggestions? I’ve been in Optum for too long, got complacent, and haven’t been on the job market for a... — read more 

Now that this latest round of RIF is complete, all signs point to the complete dismantling of Landmark by the end of the year. Does anyone have any info on this, and or what from Landmark would remain?

I know navihealth home health is gonna be hit again but does anyone know exactly which wave it will be? I heard it will be top down this time and will include several workers too. Unable to get which month.

I know the answer is probably no, but I have to ask.

I'm so sorry this happened to everyone who was laid off from optum. I was there 4 years ago so I understand filming. Of not knowing what to do period but if you live in california HPSM Has positions available

I'm wondering if anyone has information on whether the most recent round of layoffs affected the ISNP or IESNP teams? I'm a health care journalist.

Ever? I feel like I'm always thinking about layoffs. Even a day after a round is done, I'm immediately worrying about the next one. It's exhausting.

https://youtu.be/Z8-EFDENHrw?si=PKrM9D1LUtFbZ0bx Watch this and think about it. I swear, if I seen this when it originally came out, I probably would have left then and saved myself 3 years of unnecessary stress and bs

If you are laid off in Southern California, I suggest applying for UCLA Health.

Both those who were laid off and us who are still here going through he-l.

Curious if anyone has been laid off and received a severence but then saw a job postings and applied to Optum. Is there a period you must wait not to pay back the severence? The letter doesn't specify. Thanks

Can’t wait to see how managers are going to make any of us “work hard”.

Optum closing clinics, laying off 500+

Optum is not worth giving up your health for. Not your mental and certainly not your physical health. People are breaking their backs for this place and for what? A threat of more layoffs? You need to realize what your priorities are - and they... — read more 

I love his reporting it’d be wonderful to have optum exposed for what it is in a documentary or 3

According to the https://www.ocregister.com/2024/07/24/optum-laying-off-364-california-healthcare-workers-shuttering-urgent-cares/, there will be layoffs in "eight waves, the letter states, beginning Sept. 16 and concluding in January 2025."

Cant say name or itll get removed. Head of ETIPS org optum IT either got canned today or left. Not clear which.

Are you ready to unionize or not?

Does anyone know? Not just fear doom and gloom but truly have some intel?

Has anyone had luck with finding new employment after layoffs and before layoffs? If so can give tips as to what you did to get their attention or even the company you’re at now, maybe they have some other open positions!
