Noticing a lot of Philippine names/location more and more... today saw an ECAA CAC with nurse in their title. Wondering if they are going to shift nursing UR to nurses overseas for way cheaper. Very uncertain times. Nurses can always get jobs, that's the good news. Even if not what we want to do, we can work. I've been mentally preparing.

If employees have been there over 10 years and are resistant to change, they simply reflect behavior and mindset of their employer, so it looks like the company tailored made them that way! LOL. Where should we look for employment? What insurance is better to work for? I’m open to advice!!
LAST townhall there was a senior director, she spoke about advances in technology. THAT same director later said that UHC is stuck in a vicious cycle of old ways, old, tenured employees, in supporting unproductive ways, and that employees who have been with the corporation for more than 10 years have no value to the company. They add no value cause they are stuck in their ways, they are not receptive to change, they are resistant, so the company must get rid of them. UhC is trying to build AI platform, AI research and production require capital. They can pay a nurse , a customer service employee less than 2 dollars a day in the phillipines. Grade 26 there means maybe less than a couple of thousand a year. UHC needs capital and they will get it by getting rid of their US employees.
Cheap labor is all that counts. And not talking back. yes manism. And if 1 or 10 filipinios leave, there's thousand more to choose from. usa usa
Look at Outlook, Hub and Jabber, more and more names and their teams are offshore.

Your US healthcare is delegated to a 3rd works country. USA, usa
I just saw another post where the nurses were leaving. The person wasn't sure what was going on. It was about an hour ago. You are correct. Nurses are always needed and they cannot do a regular nurses job from overseas. The can do authorizations for a company like UHC, but they cannot do the physically of being there for a patient. Time to stop immigration also. We need Americans employed, not immigrants. I had a case where an auth had to be pulled back to the US because it was not worked on. It was assigned to the Phillipines. It took us two hours to get it approved and the patient in the hospital where they needed to be. Life or Death. Other countries don't get that. Good luck to the members. Thank you to all you nurses who give a damn about the members. The devil is at work with UHC and Optum. God help them. Greedy b–tards.
They speak English well, work cheaply and don’t question anything. Perfect us corporation employee/wage slave
That’s BS but it will bite them eventually as we have all kind of information we can share with their competitors. This company was build and runs with American sweat, shame on them for doing this
Hospitals recruited nurses from the Phillipines in the 1980s t0 1990s related to the nursing shortage. Better care, not on your life. Patient care suffered and it showed as patients who were cared for by these nurses had poorer outcomes. UHG and Optum will reap what they sow.
