Just seems to me like they would first target onshore contractors and then usually offshore contractors, and then onshore FTEs? If anyone has more data about who they're targeting, would greatly appreciate it

A word of support for anyone navigating the uncertainty right now. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly on edge, please know this reaction is human. Living with ongoing uncertainty—wondering whether layoffs will happen tomorrow... — read more 

Can somebody explain that to me please?

I'm on edge. Everybody around me too. We have no indication at all about how this will go down.

I wish it was already Friday and this was over. Even if I'm on the list. I don't think I'll be able to get any sleep tonight.

No matter how long you've been here, how much knowledge and experience you have, you have the same chance of being laid off as somebody who just joined. Everything you did here in the past decade or however long doesn't matter. And that truly su-ks.

I'm pretty sure I'm done here.

Did the company communicate WFH for this week for Minnesota? In the office today and there it’s a ghost town

Any weird blocks or interesting meeting titles today or tomorrow? I see one called program transitions later today.

Any updates ? It would have been done by now.

I’ve been an employee of Optum for quite some time. I was recently contacted by a journalist who would like to ask me some questions about how the organization works and my personal experiences. Think I should talk to him?

Any word on layoffs in ECS?

Today Steve will announce he plans to return profits to Obama care in 2026. Flood your congressman with your thoughts as they should ask him where he obtained all that money. Makes sense why no one getting a descent raise, a bonus or why he decreased... — read more 

How do they communicate the severance agreement? Personal email or what? I know my coworker was laid off in November and lost immediate access to computer. So how do they communicate the info? I have thought about this. If I get the layoff call, I... — read more 

Let’s keep this thread for Wellmed only layoff updates

Please keep this thread alive by sharing any updates or new information. Let’s keep each other updated.

I know there is speculation on Thursday or Friday, but keep an update here as it relates to tech. Sr directors who don’t know their product leading teams to the grave.

How many licensed practicing individuals are on this board? How many have been laid off? If so, where and what license and location? I feel like these feeds are filled with other occupations and do not represent all that may be affected.

Did anyone else get more people added to their list this week for the Friday RIF? Not sure who will be left to do the work. I guess with most Optum products being sunset they don't need people. It is going to be very hard to get any work done the... — read more 

You guys know none of the RIF posts are true, right? This is all purely made up and people are having a great time playing with your emotions.

Are CTMs still emailing to schedule the review in February?

how on earth are they going to wrap everything up in two days??

Any confirmation of layoffs within Home and Community Care (NaviHealth)

To notify all impacted employees they have been rifed on Friday. Some leaders are being asked to do it for employees who don’t even report to them. Truly bonkers situation that shows: 1) rif number going to be huge 2) hr is useless if they can’t... — read more 

Was just told by someone in that department that on Friday 1/23 they are laying off 17% of the team.

Does anyone have any updates on tomorrows RIFs has any manager been notified that they have to give the talk ?

Heads up...Just saw this job rec and it actually says in job description "Lead the globalization of our healthcare revenue cycle (RCM) business. The person in this role will be essential in hitting our goal of globalizing 1900 employees within 2026... — read more 

Perhaps addressing the rumors by confirming or discounting them would allay fears.

In my area, we’ve received some stock through various schemes over the last couple of years. Is there any word on the plans for this year, especially given the recent nosedive?

How much do you expect your merit raise % to be this year? Since in that whole video they explained we are taking away your RPP so you have a "consistent" raise each year. Will they really just keep it at the 1%?

Do we anticipate any care at home (formerly landmark) being affected this week?

I’ve been reading the last few posts, so I wanted to know. Is it really 25% of the entire company that’s getting axed this week? Is there more detail into how that’s being done, or is it completely random? What’s really going to happen?

I feel like everything is very specific but then others are saying every department is 20% -kind of hoping to get cut tbh.

But it doesn't matter. Rolling layoffs have become our life. There's no room to breathe easy even for a second.

Not to be all "poor white guy" about it, but it can be difficult at times to be the only wh---y in literally hundreds of Indians in my department. Do they hate me? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me or care to... — read more 

I’m hearing RRP is funded 72%. If someone earns a 3 rating, what percent of the 72% would they get?

I'm newer to OI... how do they typically let people know that they have been laid off? Is it a last minute meeting? Do you get an meeting invite at the beginning of the day? Are you told individually or is it in groups? Is it your manager sharing the... — read more 

Was told it would open yesterday (which was questionable since it was a holiday), wasn’t there. Checked again today and still not there. Just a terrible way this company is handling everything. So there is no update on comp.

Can we please post layoff updates here for this week for WellMed Texas only

Anyone know how much WellMed/Optum Florida will be impacted this week?
