Has optum been required to RTO?

This company is blaming falling stock price on costs for care rising? Curious if people think this is the real explanation.

Hope I make it. I didn't expect to have to worry this much so close to retiring, but it is what it is.

We're getting laid off either way.

Every time I look around, the job market feels like a dead end. What’s out there either pays less or would set me way back. I’m tired all the time, the stress never lets up, and Sunday nights feel heavier every week. I don’t want to stay, but I don’t... — read more

Can someone please post the contact information for getting their equipment out of our homes? A bunch of us were affected with the layoff months ago and still havent received boxes to get their sh!t out of our homes.

There might not be a gigantic round (though I doubt it), but the death by a thousand cuts will proceed.

For the next few months each of you will be training for the October round of the Hunger Games!! May the odd forever be in your favor!

I’ve gone numb. I do need to pay bills, and I do need the job. But they’ve kept us in a constant state of anxiety for so long that I’ve stopped caring. Leadership made sure the work is mind-numbing, the workload overwhelming, and the policies crude... — read more

Three of my co workers laid off yesterday. This is never end until we are all gone
