New employee

After going through a layoff with my last job, I thought I'd get on here prior to taking this one. Are there really a lot of layoffs here? I'm going to be working in the customer service department. And I'm a little worried now.

Toxic Culture

OPTUM Technologies has new leadership and from what I witnessing they are forcing everyone to work weekends and this has created a toxic workplace. In my honest opinion I think this is by design. To make your work environment so miserable that staff... read more

Optumrx Ineptitude

Far as I am concerned Optumrx should get rid of everyone and see if you can acquire a company that knows what they are doing and have systems that actually work. I have never worked with a company that was as totally inept at operating on every level... read more

2018 UHC HCE Exchange layoff

Given what is going on, I grabbed a PT job for the holidays anticipating a layoff in January. I've also given this sites information to major new outlets. I will be prepared. Hopefully cash in some stock prior to Q1 since it is up so high.

At Optum, they have been laying people off in chunks to avoid certain requirements like reporting and needing to provide people with notice.

For the record, Intake is always hiring

Are people who are laid off given a notice?

I know that UnitedHealth has to give a 60 day notice if it lays off a sizable group due to WARN, but what happens when they only lay off a few people at the time? Are those people given any notice or do they have to pack up immediately and leave the... read more
