Just curious, 1.In which week exactly are promotions communicated and go live in the system? 2.Also at this point are the manager ratings are already locked or the reporting manager still has a chance to update the rating for 2025?

Will ECS be getting hit on Friday?

Any news for the departments under clinical performance/excellence? Most of this work relates more with cost avoidance vs direct income.

They could completely change the vibe around here if they just handled layoffs differently. What if they actually treated people leaving with some respect, offered a good severance package, and even asked for volunteers first? It wouldn't fix... — read more 

I've whipped myself into a frenzy anticipating layoffs next week. You'd think that by now we'd all be numb to this and learn to deal with it better. But every time the threat looms, which has become an increasingly frequent occurrence, I seem to have... — read more 

Which large contract did Optum/UHG lose in Texas to make so many Housecalls NPs lose our jobs?

Not your performance or dedication. Worse, actually. Being both skilled and experienced pushes you towards the top of the list, because quality is costly. Don't bother trying to prove yourself in the coming weeks, or doing extra work in an attempt to... — read more 

The training program is a total mess. The new people end up confused and unable to do the basics, which means the experienced staff has to cover for them. It just feels like a huge waste of everyone's time and makes the initial problem worse. What's... — read more 

I was just checking out the Layoff board for UHC, and their last comment was like a month ago! Are Optum employees the only ones living with this whirlwind of layoffs? If so, I'll jump off of this nightmare cruise and head over there! Waiting to be... — read more 

I need to get proof that I was covered by group health insurance. Is there a way to contact HR that anyone is aware of. Thanks.

Trump announced today a plan to reduce healthcare costs (great!). He seemed to take aim at taking money out of the hands of insurance companies. Do you think this will mean more layoff at UHG/Optum?

My apologies if this already been posted.... How does Optum decide who gets laid off? I've heard most people say it's random but I've also gotten the idea that it's based on your QA.

20 percent of team gone, not even being offshored. The positions are gone. The irony is the directors/managers who found out who’s impacted on their team do not know if they themselves are impacted (only their boss will be told at this time ). So... — read more 

I heard OPTUM is to win a contract. Does anyone know if they won the contract to advocate for Veterans/Active Duty?

What happens if you're on PTO on the date they are notifying those who will be laid off? Will they just wait until you return to spill the beans?

Managers will know tomorrow who’s impacted on their team and it will be 23rd instead 22nd.

Anyone heard anything new?

Just curious, after I have signed and turned in the severance, what does the company do? Do they sign and return it to me or is their "acceptance" implied when I get a check ?

My schedule is only full over the next 2 weeks. After that, it starts to be 1/2 full at most. How is everyone else’s? I’m guessing I’m on of the ones being laid off? Texas FNP.

I expect conditions and requirements to get worse over time. It was never about productivity, in-person cooperation for efficiency, or god forbid the benefits of thriving office culture. It was always meant to push as many people out as possible on... — read more 

After giving the return-to-office mandate several months to be fair and well-intentioned, it’s clear this policy creates significant friction without delivering any meaningful benefit—particularly for employees who were hired explicitly as full-time... — read more 

I just saw on another thread that the RIF for 1/22 was moved to 1/23?? Is that correct and what’s with the change?

Was in the office today. Oh how life has changed. The offices used to be inspirational and loved way people connected. Now the atmosphere is very negative and all the benefits of cafe are gone.. anyone feel the same way?

What exactly is redeployment, especially an open-ended one? Is this just a RIF in disguise?

I was laid off recently and might be starting a new job pretty soon. I’m worried about whether taking another role so soon could affect my severance. It wasn't much but I still don’t want to accidentally mess something up. I'm just trying to figure... — read more 

UHC lost a contract with the state of Louisiana’s Medicaid patients. Anything that impacts UHC impacts Optum. Their relationship is so dysfunctional.

Obviously this means 2026 layoffs will make 2025 child’s play. https://seekingalpha.com/news/4537099-trump-to-meet-health-insurers-few-days

From my perspective in accounting, this keeps happening. They release senior staff to balance the budget, but the underlying strategic errors remain. In my twenty years, I have never witnessed this leading to genuine recovery. It only demoralizes the... — read more 

Hello, my team is being forced to RTO and I just found out I will be sharing my office space with a registered s*x offender. I’m not sure what to do, I already asked HR not to send me to the office because I don’t feel comfortable with this.

I've been noticing a lot of people getting their titles bump down 1 grade level. Any insight for folks who were impacted? Did their leaders say it's either agree to it or get laid off?

Some numbers and data to review as many on these boards are asking questions re changes and prospects: Enrollment decline or as they call "purge" of approx one million... — read more 

All time low. I’d say I hope senior leaders see this. But I also suspect it’s by design. Low morale = high attrition

Does UHG provide out placement services to severed employees. If so, which company?

Does anyone have insight on what date department budgets will be approved/finalized this month?

I've been through many, many layoffs at Optum and seen many talented people let go. It's tough to watch, but I've also seen a clear pattern where a lot of those people ended up in much better positions elsewhere. They found roles with better pay... — read more
