Here’s to the new year and the continued abuse, exploitation and no accountability. Good luck to all in this new year of employment at this dumpster fire.

Good riddance to Amil and the people who were brought in by self-proclaimed Chief Architect Jario Orea who are still collecting paychecks while qualified security staff are being laid-off. Robert Booker and Jairo Orea's strategy of hiring people all... — read more

I'm so tired of it all. Such a horrible company and horrible management.

Hey all I’ve been with UHG 8 years. I’m an individual contributor. Old manager told me there’s a new “rule” - if you’ve been in your role less than 2 years, you won’t get higher than a 3. Can anyone confirm?

Does anyone know how to get laid off? Genuine question but it would be very beneficial for me to get laid off instead of quitting

Anyone heard if more layoffs will affect Ontario CA office in December or after? No positions listed for our office not a good sign

Since they wreck companies, employees well being, etc., I'm proposing this as the new company name!

Heard from director level management that random business segments are going under another review and layoff period. Such trash seeing how Christmas is coming.
