Wife was laid off after 2 years and a total of 15+ with UHG. No notice, no warning, "just your position is eliminated effective immediately. We will send a box for you to mail your computer back into us."

Can they keep our bonuses if we get laid off before they come out even if you worked the entire year and earned it? I realize they are not guaranteed but if there are bonuses will a RIF take them away

Major changes coming to Optum second half of February especially for the support groups.

I heard Optum is getting rid of ICUE- sure that is pointing to more layoffs. Anyone know if that is true and if so- what system will they replace it with?

Has anyone received their severance that was laid off on 12/4 or know when it is supposed to be sent ?

What would happen if an employee offered to get laid off? I dont understand why they dont have sign ups for lay offs.

I was laid off while on short term disability. This company does not care about it's employees. More upper management than executers. A company of good ole boy slaps on the back and bringing in their buddies for high paying positions!!!

No matter how hard I tried, this had me in a bad mood. It's really sad when work affects my personal life like this. Anybody else had similar issues?

Is the severance meant to silence people with a confidentiality clause? Has anyone asked an attorney if the release is worth the small weeks of severance offered?
