Good bye Optum Virtual Care
It was nice meeting eveyone. Got the word today. May 2nd.
This company and its executives are embarrassments.
They are taken and pay ransom, multiple rounds of layoffs, mediocre (at best) middle managers, high pay for the uppers, low pay for the rest. The executive team should be embarrassed.
Just had my Thursday meeting
Another Thursday... Separation date is May 2. I am Grade 30 and part of Clinical Solutions.
