January - February Management plans on laying off 10% and terminating 20% in 2023. Consider it a blessing. After 20 years of this toxic place the only thing it was good for was to allow me to work from home so I could spend more time with my kids. I have a confirmed federal lawsuit against UHG and working on a second one. After the federal court is done with them, I'll file another lawsuit for pain and anguish! $$$$ G.O.A.T

To the person that works at optum what division do you work in? I work there too and am feeling uncomfortable
11 plus years here…
They say these terminations, (because are you really expecting to get a call back or do you want one) we’re not planned. Funny- we were asked to start cutting costs back on NOV 22. Not to me e toon the shady sh-t they had us doing doing during common reviews by not giving people what they earned based on the KPIs of their departments. It’s going to implode on them tho because all of this offshoring is going to cost them in the refi ding they’re gonna have to do if they get audited. The offshore quality is in the tank. 😳
That arbitration is a joke! Pay the company $25.... really?
I think it’s too bad that I actually have to say this, but Is it really necessary to get so nasty and belittle our co-workers? We are all here because we’re in fear of losing our jobs. Everyone comes to this forum with different job and life experience. Let’s keep that in mind and treat each other with a little patience and respect. Everyone is worried and stressed out enough as it is.
@jhly+1kDI99wc - Let me guess... you work at Walmart. You are stupid! Did you actually read what you signed? There is nothing that forces you to arbitrate and violating a federal law trumps it.
Everyone signs an arbitration agreement. You are screwed . It’s easier to find a better job.
Any news regarding the Specialty side of Optum?
you are the GOAT! The other M0-F0s who comment negatively in this string are jealous. They will be working in this he!! h0!e for another 10 years.
FYI - To the id--t who made a comment about the attorney in a strip mall.... DOJ stands for Department of Justice and if you are educated enough to get that much evidence against UHG to get the FEDERAL attorney to look at your case then you truly are the G.O.A.T! Go get'em! Hope it's mentioned on the news!!! Oh and Karma to the mole!!
If you are let go (laid off/fired) I truly hope you find a healthy work environment because this place is a cesspool.
Congratulations "G.O.A.T" UHG should be sued by the DOJ!
Confirmed layoff- the team that reports NPS to ECS Managers and a Supervisor in after hours intake. More to come!
Lots of UHG HR troll comments! You lowlifes should disguise yourselves better, the troops have a well consolidated view of Optum and you stand out so just identify yourself!
Does anyone know if Optum tech will be doing layoffs?
Confirmed - I am an ECS employee laid off today. 5 benefit processors and 2 supervisors. They kept all their 13 contractor employees though. Cutting fat where they can’t afford to and keeping seasonal staff is absurd.
Several ICM Managers and Sr ICMs were let go today. Some excellent people too. And some of the less stellar ones are still employed. SMH
Anyone that uses "GOAT" instantly loses all credibility. I think your energy and resources would be better spent finding new work. If it was really that toxic, it sounds like a silver lining event,
I can confirm people have been let go today. This stinks.
I met a group onsite that came from Change HC - they felt they have been stripped of positions so badly by the 'CEO with the eyebrows' the past few years they are already struggling to stay profitable and retain talent
Where is this information coming from and what specific departments?
Another post from December mentioned a planned reduction of ECS staff by 30-45%.
20% of the workforce? Lol that is just not correct and ridiculous.
Becoming a victim and then trying to sue for damages is a losing strategy. You are better off just leaving UHG and Optum ASAP.
I can't believe you've been with the company for 20 years, I'm almost at 1 year and I can barely stand it lol.
That's adorable OP. I hope the lawyers you found at your local strip mall win you lots of money for pain and anguish
Good luck, OP.
