No whispers in my area. No weird meetings on my schedule. Is this actually going to happen Wednesday or Thursday?

Which departments will be downsized/eliminates next week? Also, which departments will definitely stay in the US???

Rumor is the last week of March a huge layoff for all of marketing across Optum. They are looking to drastically clean house and no one is safe. Even if you got a good review you should start looking now for another job. Found this at... — read more 

So many ominous emails about how change is coming in 2020. Wondering if any specific LOB will take a hit?

What departments are going to be impacted by the March layoffs?

Is it true that Optum is looking to lay-off or terminate all their telecommuter employees?

Please, Does anyone know if the NYSHIP was renewed for 2021 or will Empire have to have lay offs also?

Management: Have you heard yet that you will be doing lay offs on March 4th?

Why such a weird date for the potential layoff? A Wednesday? Anyone know the rationale behind this?

I heard that in the midst of all these layoffs people are also being fired. Is this to avoid paying both severance and unemployment?

I read an older post stating UHC employees moved to Optum in Jan are not eligible for severance package. With the next RIF round approaching just curious if this holds any truth. The writing is on the wall for my department so just really curious as... — read more 

Optum is laying off massive amounts of American employees and moving their positions to the Philippines, Ireland, and India. If you are like me and p-ss-d that this American company is doing this just to save money with cheap labor, don't just post... — read more 

I'm aware that UHG/Optum does not pay out any accruals. So, if one zeros out their time and then leaves without giving any notice, can they do anything to you? (Beyond putting you on the Do Not Rehire list) What if you are on PTO and give... — read more 

Many of us whom have been laid off have long suspected we were under paid, and now that we are no longer employed let’s talk pay. Particularly how much you made, years in service and pay grade. If any of you are afraid of being found out which... — read more 

Enterprise clinical solutions town hall on 3/5. Could this be lay-off day for optum? I am currently an RN in case management.

Especially if they are over 50? It sounds like a perfect opportunity to shine some light on the whole age discrimination issue, in my opinion...

Bonuses are based on salary grade to start. Complanner has everything already set. So if your below a 27 grade your bonus will be minimal imo. I would say probably 1.5% of your base salary is a good ballpark for lower level employees based on the... — read more 

Laid off... Loved my job and loved the people I worked with! I was told I was paid more than others in the same grade and that's why I was on the chopping block. Thought that was where I would retire - but leadership had a different plan. We saw mass... — read more

I’m hearing the next round of layoffs is 3/4 Optum is expected to be hit hard. Can someone confirm this? I just moved the the Navigate for Me department under Optum, if other departments are laying off why is this department still hiring?

They notified our team at night and told us not to come in. Our stuff would be mailed to us with our last paycheck. No severance. What do you mean no severance? Is that even legal???????

So how many US employees have been laid off since Oct 2019? 6000? 7000?
