Many let go in May and more yesterday. Most over 25 years and high salary

Are the severance packages in line with severance policy (by grade and tenure)? What other restrictions must you agree to for the severance payments?

Thirteen attorney generals wrote a letter to the Fortune 100 companies warning them not to discriminate on the basis of race and trying to justify that discrimination under the label of “diversity, equity, and inclusion”. Thankfully, this is the end... — read more 

Did a single one of the people you know who would deserve to be laid off actually end up being let go? I'm interested in other people's experiences with this, because all of our slackers are still here.

It is noticeable that more and more people are losing hope that things will ever get better here. When did you realize that things can only go downhill?

Do we know they pick Thursday for layoffs. I have a 1:1 scheduled for Monday. Do I need to worry

If you read layoff articles, you will find the name of many companies who have laid off people, including the number of people laid off As you read those articles, you'll see that your employer is not included, despite many people being laid off You... — read more 

Be aware that no months are exempt from UHC/Optum layoffs. 2019 huge layoff December 23rd. Years of layoffs while the stock price climbs on the backs of these reductions. Wise up people.

MedExpress staff in New Tampa was called into a meeting yesterday 08/10/2023 and all let go. Clinic will close on 08/17/2023 last day for employees will be 08/24/2023. Does anyone know if other MedExpress locations are next if so when? At what point... — read more 

Was in a meeting with leaders and it was announced that there will be no new hires for at least a year. Came from that guy Di-k or Dirk, whatever his name is. Funny this was said the same day as layoffs across Moptum

Curious to see how many fellow Optum employees were laid off this month. What was your department, years of service (yos) and severance package(sp)? Maybe this will become newsworthy if enough of us post! Good luck to everyone!

“You are Awesome!” “United We Stand!” “Health Equity!” “We Care!” “Couldn’t do it without you!” “Words cant describe the appreciation!” You are fired! come again please! Thank you!!

At least for a while.

Ignore this . Especially if it’s a 30 min chat . That’s when they tell you . Part of 08/10/2023 Thursday massacre. I was let go after 7 years . 7 years ! I wasn’t the best I was kinda level 3 . Just had my interim review on Monday ! I met... — read more 

A lot of Rally Health employees got laid of today

Wanted to share some thoughts about our gig here. Truth is, career growth feels like a desert mirage. 🌵 Here's the scoop: If you rock the boat and score a pay bump by kicking a-s, it's like painting a target on yourself for the layoff dartboard. Too... — read more

Just told Clinical Performance has laid our entire team off. About 45 people impacted

14 People effected and last for them is 8/25 2 weeks notice period

So far I’ve see A few patterns that seem to be consistent across all of the people who got laid off: Many of the company that were acquired in overlaps some of the optum business areas continue to get let go Individuals that have been in the... — read more 

People, please, please don't use abbreviations when letting us know what is being hit. Take the extra few seconds to write out the whole team's/locations/department's name. It will help a lot. Thank you for your time!

In everyone's experience who has gone through these lay offs and lived to tell about it- are there signs we should look for to know it's coming? I'm a part of a group that was recently bought out by Optum- so I'm not as familiar with what to expect... — read more 

This has not happened to me or anyone I know, and I've been curious: If someone gets notice that they are being RIF'd but they either already have an internal transfer lined up or - more likely I suppose - get redeployed...does their tenure at the... — read more 

In your time here at optum, has this been the worst? I’ve been told people haven’t seen it this bad in over 10 years. I want to know, if I survive layoffs, is it even worth trying to grow, or will I also eventually be cut?

I don't know why people are so certain there'll be layoffs today. We just had a major round, what would be the point of having another one so soon after?

PLEASE DO NOT CREATE ADDITIONAL THREADS TODAY. This thread is dedicated to sharing all lay-off information (questions, answers, etc.) over the next 24 hours. Please also post as you, or teams you know, are notified so everybody can understand the... — read more 

Is it just me, or is this becoming a bit too normal for Optum? Is everybody now accepting constant layoffs as something unavoidable?

If you switch jobs between Optum and UHC with no gap between jobs, does your tenure count towards severance? Wondering if anyone has experience with this? For example, if I was with optum for 4 years then moved to uhc for a couple months, does... — read more 

What if we were union based. Could they stop the mass layoffs?

So let me get this straight. If they lay off more than 50 people within a 30 day rolling period per state, they can avoid the WARN Act. If Optum or UHC is able to avoid the WARN Act, it means at most, only 2,500 people are being let go, (given they... — read more 

Layoffs can only improve things in the short term. Is our leadership so incompetent that the only thing they can think of is layoffs, over and over again? They are incapable of making other business decisions that could improve our bottom line? What... — read more 

I can't take much more of this stress.

Many do business with UHG holding their nose. Healthcare revolution.

In notification meetings with over 500 people managers for a mass layoff 8/10. All business units and positions impacted.

Let’s put the bread crumbs together here as a collective

I think they are closing up shop at Optum. Grew too fast not sustainable

The more they get rid of older employees through layoffs, the more institutional knowledge is lost. People who are retiring will transfer their knowledge to those who will stay behind, but those who are being kicked out, not so much. This will come... — read more 

Is it weird that it just seems business as usual and whisper quiet with all these layoffs looming?
