What do you think? Is any position safe at UHG?

I am retired... I know it may mean nothing but I want to say from the bottom of my heart how sorry I am to everyone who was made redundant. I am sure that if I ever had the pleasure of interacting with you, it has enhanced the last year of my... — read more 

I was laid off close to my 10 year mark. I liked working there, it was a great place. It was also however like a warm blanket for a long nap. Do not ever get complacent at work. You may think you are super well positioned and a high-value... — read more 

I was laid off back in October 2019 and it happened on a Wednesday. I got a 15 min meeting notice with my VP put on my calendar when I got into the office. Telecommuters had their meeting over the phone. Like another poster said, if you're laid... — read more

I was given my RIF @ 9am ESt in QuEST. Since QuEST has became a disaster since 2017, I've prepared for the worst. Good luck to everyone, there's better jobs out there.. apply for competitors, I know I am. Ernst and Young, Allianz, ... UHG will... — read more 

8 people let go today from a small pricing department. Sad days ahead.

I got laid off today after years of faithful service to this sh–show of a company. I’m trying to hold off all the ill feelings and resentment that I have towards the company, but instead ask what could be the best movie now that I lost my job. Is... — read more 

Today was unfortunate for many employees, especially to the ones the let go. Are we expected to have more layoffs this year?

Out of curiosity were any of the 5000 people (2% of the total work force) laid off today NOT US based employees? I have a strong suspicion that this was a thinning of only the US based work force but looking to see if I am wrong. I am hoping... — read more 

I’ve been reading this forum since this morning and different numbers have been mentioned. Some people say that the layoff will affect 5000 employees company wide, some say 2% of the workforce could be impacted. How reliable are these numbers? Are... — read more 

Just got off a meeting. Company-wide layoffs are currently happening across all businesses. No one is safe currently. It is not limited to one segment. Advised not another round for a while however it is not truly known.

Where does this stop?

Those posting 2% reductions are correct. We were told this in organizational meetings today. It’s all real, unfortunately. I was hoping that it would just be rumors. I know people personally who were laid off. There are many... — read more 

Am I imagining things?

I thought it'll be just a few departments, but it looks this is company-wide once again. When will it be enough???

Is anybody willing to share what their severance package looks like? I'm scared they might hit us with an unexpected change at the worst possible moment, so it'd be nice to know that something like did not happen.

Post area, department, # people affected Any other relevant details

I don't remember hearing or reading an official announcement.

Layoffs did not just occur in October 2019. They occurred on a schedule in October 2019, December 2019, and now February 2020. The number is estimated to be around 20,000 employees as of the December action. UHC has done this in waves to alleviate... — read more 

Folks on the East Coast, what's happening?

Well today is the day that things are supposed to happen. Good luck everyone! Let us all know what’s going on throughout the day.

My team has gone through so many changes and everyone has been extremely anxious about the next layoff. Upper management, (better said executive leaders) are not transparent. Supervisors and managers do not get a piece of the action, they usually... — read more

Is it just me or does UHC seem like a different company compared to 1-2 years ago? Total opposite of how it was in the past. Nothing but negative feedback and isolation. What happened to the employee engagement efforts? Does anyone work in a... — read more 

Go google UnitedHealth job openings. Then when you see the results, please come back and explain to me why we are having layoffs in the first place.

I've been a long time employee and remember when they used to give out profit sharing checks. I have seen this company go from a healthcare company to a money making enterprise only. Been thru 5 layoffs too. I have never seen anything like this... — read more 

I am part of UHC. I think that the 10% reduction in staff is accurate. Each leader has been given that target at the beginning of the year since 2017. I was forced to do layoffs in 2017, but thankfully in 2018 and 2019 I had enough attrition... — read more
