I am actively searching for a new job and was wondering if anyone had experience with asking to be laid off during a time like this so maybe someone that wants to leave can versus someone who really wants to stay. I’m thinking if I take this other... — read more

I'm finally leave this god-forsaken company. I'm going to put in my notice soon, but I currently have a negative PTO balance. Does anyone know what happens when you leave the company with a negative balance? I can't find any policy on the hub

Is it too early?

Has anyone heard if the pharmacies (particularly Diplomat and Briova SP's) that Optum has recently acquired will be hit? Makes me nervous to be bought by this company seeing all of the layoffs thus far.

Rise up w1stle bl0wer

Who would be interested in a union?

March 4th is the next round of layoffs and Optum will be hit hard.

If you are being laid off today or being notified of layoffs in your department, you should already have a meeting on your calendar. Is this true? Does it mean I can relax since I have nothing scheduled for today?

Post department and amount impacted here.

I was so worried in the past several weeks, but now that the day is here I'm surprisingly calm. If my name is on the list, I'll survive. It might not be easy at first, but I'll recover. If nothing else, not being a part of this mess of a company is... — read more

Riddle me this. If they lay people on 2/6 that would be the same day as the Optum360 Town Hall meeting. That doesn’t make sense to me. That’s a PR nightmare waiting to happen. Plus the theory that you will not get your bonus if they lay you... — read more 

Curious if any one has heard of tdp associates or alumni being laid off as opposed to being terminated due to performance, which I’ve seen

Confirmed Optum layoffs on February 6th.

Several of my nurse friends were laid off, and I am sure I’m on the chopping block, as well (also a nurse). Seniority does not count anymore, nor does productivity, it seems just location and salary. The more money they can save, the better for their... — read more

I could be laid of tomorrow. Why even dedicate a second more to this greedy company? I am severely demotivated and don’t give af. Anyone else feel the dip in morale?

Seems over the last few months that anything is possible, but does anyone know if they are eliminating nursing staff from Optum? I’ve already updated my resume and started looking elsewhere but it’s terrible that they can’t be more honest so we can... — read more 

Dec 4 lay-off got lump sum today. Approximately 28% tax rate 😡

Currently a top performer and I have always been. I used to think that performance was a key to being “safe” and now I’m seeing posts / comments that even top performers are being let go. How common is this?

I used to enjoy the weekends. Now all I can think about is what the following workweek will bring and how many more layoffs we will learn of. And the saddest thing is that I have stopped believing this will end. I am now convinced this is what life... — read more 

Just a heads up I heard that there will be ‘significant shakeup’ in PHS.

What’s that mean ?

Did anyone have to a sign a non-compete agreement when they joined Optum?

Has anyone heard of additional layoffs? I heard Population Health was getting hit again-Any truth to this?
