Failure of leadership

Claiming to be overstaffed, and laying off people to make their numbers for wall street is a failure in leadership.

It shows a lack of vision, direction, and innovation at the leadership level if you must rely on cutting jobs to 'right size', rather than growing the business with new initiatives with the talent you have.

We're the one paying for their failures.

I'd love to see the statistics of executive pay. Did any of them opt to take a pay cut as part of this? If anything, I'm willing to bet this year will be a pretty good year for them with regards to compensation.

@3hfa+1m1Qrtqg if you want to sacrifice your time with your family for a Corporation that doesn't give 2 sh--s about you..

Well, it shows how much you value your family and your time. Some of us know what we're worth. Optum and large cap companies thrive off of drones like you.

Strange. All the India/Philippines OGS resources I know of are Optum employees. In fact contractors are also being let go. I suspect this is a maneuver of those who are not getting 3's at a bare minimum, or 4's and who are in some sort of CAP (corrective) plan .

There were also 4's that were laid off. I suspect it came down to folks who has their screen savers running half the time they were on the clock too much. I remember one of the guys kept refusing after hour work and had the words "work life balance" tattooed in his forehead.

That mentality is all fine and dandy but when the piper comes... Prepare to dance.

Innovation goes to India. A lot of local workforce will be replaced by Infosys, Accenture, etc.
