Is one side actually better than the other? I think it’s known that Optum has more layoffs and instability.

He’s the worst “leader” I’ve ever encountered. Hope someone can turn the ship around before it sinks.

Optum will make a joke out of itself on the AI hype. Oh, whatever happened to the “fellow” from Blockchain? Time to clawback his bonus.

This has become unbearable. Of course, no one's job is guaranteed, but still, there is too much uncertainty here and the atmosphere is therefore very toxic. How safe do you think your job is? My motivation has never been lower because I am aware... — read more

Just inquiring to see if any call center reps have been laid off.

OPTUM wants to fire 40% of the work force and hire contractors. That means ~24k people will lose their jobs. Executives don't have to worry about putting a roof over their families head, food on the table, or make sure their loved ones have health... — read more

How unprofessional for a company to send you an email telling you what your last day will be. It's like the company tells you when your livelihood will end. Many many years and several mergers later...it's like they are telling you to k8ss their ads... — read more

Anyone know of any layoffs within Shared Services since we are now under new leadership? Specifically, what areas and when?

In the past, I've seen multiple layoffs, at least in my area, that were really just excuses to eliminate the roles of low performers to repurpose dollars to other areas. This time, there are really strong staff members and leaders being cut. This is... — read more 

Any leadership speaking of AI or LLM while 70% claims are processed in mainframe - should be publicly slapped. 70 slaps/ minute. Shameless!

These layoffs have just become ridiculous one after another after another then more this summer and winter. Optum continuously lays off. It’s toxic and the millions of dollars the Executive leadership takes is sickening. Our CEO isn’t even from this... — read more 

How do they think an employee feels upon learning that layoffs are happening from an email sent by his colleague who was laid off?? And how does such a practice of no transparency affect the morale of the remaining employees?

Optum just cut a bunch of jobs and implemented a hiring freeze throughout UnitedHealthcare, today.

I heard of mass layoffs yesterday and more coming. Do you know what departments were affected? And are they clinical roles?

Some posts are getting regularly removed. Hope someone in management is reading and requesting removal. Mission Accomplished!

My manager and team lead were laid off. Also my manager's supervisor lost her boss. It seems to be wide spread across all levels of management, up to VPs

Business Update- Attendance Required - wonder what this meeting will be?

This company is NOT military friendly.

UHC / Optum has replaced almost all of their customers services representatives with off shore people. The sale reps. are safe because you need a license to sale an insurance policy.

Any department require you to be "on camera" for meetings within Optum?

EEPS has found the root cause of all inefficiencies. ….The name. It’s now be know as Enterprise Tech Infrastructure Platforms Services ETIPS. Geniuses.

Another layoff round would completely decimate my group. If we lose one more person, not to mention more, we won't be able to do our jobs. This is not us being lazy or unwilling to pick up extra work, we've done that before. There is simply a limited... — read more

Always negative and Always gives negative feedback. The supervisor is stupid. I done with this supervisor, I told her several times. I requested a new supervisor several times.

What's this obsession with retail IT folks from Kohl's, Amazon, Target, Best Buy ....and then getting rid of them in few years?

Asking for a friend… Is it common as part of a RIF to receive a skip level meeting request with your C level out of the blue? About 10 people on invite, all likely mid level management. Does this indicate they made “the list”?

Some managers (VPs too) who had ballz quit and maybe saved some jobs. Others, oh well , we know them. This whole thing is so bizarre, it was not an RIF, not an business situation, trying to solve a made up problem which doesn't exist.
