Can leadership track employee surveys to you?
They want honest feedback, and it needs to be given, but then are mad when someone gives a low score and their bonuses are dinged. And I don’t want mine dinged, either. How much can your leader trace your survey to you?
Virtual Advanced Illness Program Cut
The entire VAIP has been cut as of 9/30/24. Will be “sunsetting” by end of the year. Another blindside move by UHC. I’m sure they are hoping to stay under the radar by cutting 1 day shy of qtr 4. There goes another 20 social workers and the... — read more

UHC announced that all provider account managers would need to take call center training and work 4 hrs a day taking calls in addition to their advocate duties. I doubt they would be putting employees through a 8-10 week training for a temporary... — read more
Telesales
Sad day when UHC tells its agents to sell less and focus survey scores.
Level2 side
Any idea for layoffs to affect Level2 folks?
What are the severance packages being offered?
If you’ve got 5+ years at UHC, what are they providing these days for RIFs? I heard a week for each year but that was several years ago and not sure if it was accurate.

Moving Roles Internally
If someone moves between UHC/ Optum/ UHG corporate, do their perks continue to accrue (ie. 1 year before FMLA?) Or does it restart?
What do we talk about with these RIFs in August?
Optum just had massive layoffs, and will continue to have over time in the near future. Who’s going to be affected by August RIFs? Which is the target number of headcount reduction? If anybody knows any confirmed info or details, pls let the rest of... — read more
Brace Yourself for August
RIFs are scheduled to occur in August
East coast lay offs
Our on call team was just laid off. Over the past year our sales team has been laid off too.
Will you take Gail Back please?
Would you consider taking Gail back? She's just about destroyed Anthem's culture.

Recalibration happening in M&R
Heard there was a meeting late last week regarding “recalibrating” 29’s in Medicare and retirement. I’m not on that business but that doesn’t sound good. Anyone know anything?
NOT Military Friendly
I was laid off and I’m VERY grateful!!! https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/unitedhealth-group
UHG list of priorities
Clients Why we exist as health care providers is beyond me. They should’ve come up with some other hustle that at least would not threaten the health and lives of other human beings.
It’s all about who you can buy..

Can we discuss job mkt?
I’ve been wanting to leave for a while now. I got to the point of hating every day at work. I’m tired, unhappy, anxious for reasons and for no reasons. Constant stress is taking its toll. On rare occasions when I have enough time to think straight, I... — read more
