Any Optum FL CLINICS to be impactedtomorrow?

Lay off emails went out an hour ago. WM clinics in NTX region. PSRs and Ma’s. Could providers be tomorrow before the rally town Hall?

Anyone have any updates for 3/19 RIF r/t Optum Health or Appeals?

For those of you that were RIF’d or know someone that was, when do they send the meeting invite to let you know?

Put his a-s on a milk carton. Did he retire again and forget to tell anyone?

Good luck to everyone. I'm kinda numb at this point, but I know I'll freak out if I'm laid off.

Is anyone else losing a bunch of offshore resources, due to the renegotiation of the contract with Wipro? We're losing six people at the end of the month, as a result of it.

Already got notified that I need to provide names by April 1st… we’re surviving the 03/19 wave but since I’m being asked to provide names it’s safe to assume there’s at least one round in April. Anyone else get notified? (GL30 here)

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I want each of you to know how deeply valued you are. It is truly a privilege to work alongside such an exceptional group of nurses. What we’ve built together is not only strong, but truly special—and that... — read more 

Does anyone have any idea of the direction of this new merged consumer office? It looks like a lot of role overlap. Will there be rifs on 3/19 for this area? Seems like the uhc consumer office folks are in a stronger position than the optum.

I hope I just get laid off in these next rounds. A layoff is a band-aid ripped off with severance. PIP is torture. You still try, because some stupid part of your brain thinks you can beat it. So you exhaust yourself 'improving,' only to get fired... — read more 

Any suggestions for best job sites to apply for new job? Friends say LinkedIn - but never had luck there. What sites do you use / recommend? Been out of work 6 months & $ is tight.

Curious if anyone laid off is trying to secure another role within UHC or Optum? If yes, any success with getting interviews or re-hired? How long did it take you to get rehired?

Laid off 3/5/26. Electronically submitted severence paperwork the next day. People say it takes 2-3 pay periods until it’s paid out. Is there any way to expedite? Asking as I might take another internal position (I’m in the hiring process). You... — read more 

Alright all of you GL 30s and above. We know you’re on here, and we know that you have all of the tea. Spill it, what’s happening this week?

Anyone notice they don't have availability listed on their NAR excel sheet that they email each Monday am? Mine only goes until end of May 2026 and should be for 64 weeks. I noticed this a few weeks ago and other provider IDs were still showing... — read more 

Please post here throughout the week if you hear anything about the potential 3/19 RIF, information is power....

Why hasn't the media said anything about the never ending layoffs? Why hasn't anyone spoken to the media?

Approvals take weeks, crashes are daily, and we're all just clicking through junk pretending everything's fine. It’s embarrassing and exhausting.

I'm out right now because of this place. The stress got to me. Pressure every day, more tasks piling on, never knowing if I'll be laid off. I already deal with depression and anxiety and this job pushed me past what I could handle. My blood pressure... — read more

Wake up. If you're not job hunting, you're one of the few who isn't.

And it's hard to live with the awareness that you can be out of a job anytime. I know I'm not saying anything new, but it's really depressing. It doesn't matter anymore how good you are, or how much you've invested in being even better. The way... — read more 

Other than United healthcare and Optum, does Optum Insight really have any customers? This is not a criticism of the worker bees in OptumInsight, but rather a true curiosity about whether that business is viable or if it's all smoke and mirrors. And... — read more 

I was casually looking at the Optum internal job postings and I didn't filter to United States and out of curiosity I clicked on a couple offshore job postings. Guess what the referral bonus amounts I saw are $20,000 & $37,500. It blew my mind... — read more

What are the chances CMS will move off their proposed 0.09% rate for 2027? It was approximately 5.0% for 2026 but they decided to basically eliminate it for 2027. After they announced the rate all health insurance stocks dropped massively.

WTH? Stock continues to get crushed.

Does anyone know if any teams outside of the clinics are getting hit again? I’m work in corporate but all I keep hearing about are the clinics closing or merging.

New productivity metrics for APCs announced this morning. …here’s comes more emails and performance plans about how we arent doing good enough
