Lame. Uninspiring. Failure of leadership.
A series of town halls and leadership calls the past couple of weeks demonstrates the vapid garbage leading this company. "Growth" is the agenda for 2024. No, really? Did you guys go on a golf retreat to come up with that one? Optum is innovative?... — read more

Co-worker just got laid off today - "restructure". Not sure if it's widespread
Surprised that this person got let go, and they were blindsided. This is in the Clinical Performance umbrella, for people that know the company. We haven't had any other big rifs since the 500+ employee one back in August

Anyone else think the redeployments are just a way to postpone layoffs til after the first of the year? Reps are being moved to UHC member services to handle calls about UHC MC during open enrollment.
Couldn't be happier...
... I got laid off on 05.04.23 and I couldn't be happier! Now I just wait for my lawsuit to settle. The work environment at Optum is full of harassment, and discrimination!
