Has anyone heard of layoffs close to April 15 when the next earnings report is announced?

They changed parts of the web site and broke it! If you are already on unemployment and try to file your weeks, the system kicks you out once you try to get to the page where you enter in the work you contacted during that week. It says once you... — read more

All contract workers being let go due to virus. So much for the low unemployment rate. Good luck.

Hey Optum leaders... Firing American workers and sending their jobs to the Philippenes to save a dollar and now they're on lockdown in their homes and unable to work from home due to their 3rd world internet. How'd that decision work out for you? ... — read more 

I, like many of you, am interviewing for roles outside of Optum and I am about to have my final interview with a competitor Aetna. Is there a policy spoken or otherwise about when you announce you accepted a job with a competitor in that do they ask... — read more 

This deserves its own thread. Many of us are aware of the recent memo put out by the CEO. Telling employees they cannot work from home unless they are older 65+ or health issues. Those with health issues needed a doctors note and to reveal personal... — read more 

I was just thinking about those who were laid off and given the covid-crisis, many will be unable to job search as companies are reacting to the pandemic. Do be kind and check in on your former colleagues/friends! Provide any help & support that you... — read more 

I have been bullied by my entire team to make me feel worthless so that I leave. They dont care about your past contributions or the fact that they only have jobs because of your many contributions to keep the lights on for your project in the early... — read more 

There's gotta be a reason, right? Otherwise, it's just management being cruel and callous and proving once again how little they care about employees. Things like this should not still come as a surprise to me, considering how often the same has... — read more 

The March 24 lay-off has been postponed. If you don’t think this virus is serious, pay attention. They aren’t going to lay off because they are worried about having enough workers, literally enough warm bodies to keep us going. Now is the time to... — read more 

With thousands of people in the HQ building, the possibility that you are standing next to someone on the elevator who is carrying the virus–even if they're asymptomatic–is huge. It would not be a good look, UHG, if even one person tested... — read more

Copied from another Optum thread. Anyone else hear murmurs of this happening? Layoffs will happen tomorrow 3/11. Optum across many product lines and support services.

Optum was hit in December and January. I was in Advanced Illness and they cut half our team. Unfortunately, I was one of the ones cut and one of the top performers. There is no rhyme or reason as to who they chose to lay-off!!

Has anyone heard of date of March 2020 layoffs? Who will be affected? Any update is appreciated. Thanks

It has NOTHING to do with working harder, having a degree or even knowing how to do your job.... it’s all about how much a_$ you can kiss and if you are the directors bff. I can’t wait to watch this company tank because nobody wants to talk to a... — read more

They stated work force reduction and laid off about 25 plus from the department I worked in yesterday and today in AZ.

DO NOT put SPARQ on your personal phone because that gives UHG access to your personal life! My email at work is VERY monitored. I’ve worked for this company too many years. I would never refer this company.

This morning while connected to wifi at work i tried to comment and received a response of blacklisted IP removed myself from the wifi network and the comment went through. Thought maybe it was a fluke but tried it again, same result.

How many of you are at the point where you are hoping to see this company fail?

Any impacts there?

Not going to lie is rather be involuntarily transferred than laid off

Anyone else got a notice from My Deployment Manager about a forced schedule being added? Any idea what that would be about?

No layoff news evident in ECS Case Management yet, anybody hearing anything else? Was 03/04 false alarm or maybe for tomorrow?
