Anyone mid internal hiring process and notified that the req has been put on hold? I had an interview scheduled for early January but now it is cancelled. Is this just to see if the position will be eliminated?

January 22 is the announcement. Lots of projects will rush in the first three weeks of the year to get done. If you're getting unusual pressure to complete projects by that deadline, it's part par for the course, part because you're out. Those in the... — read more

When do employees find out? And then will they be walked out same day or 2 weeks still? When do managers find out? Will it be same day or before their employees do?

If the rumors are true, not only will there be a major reorg with entire teams vanishing, but massive layoffs across the board too. Oh well, it’s not like I ever thought my job here was secure, and I don’t like it enough to be upset about losing it... — read more

When layoffs are over, the sense of finality never lasts. Every single time a round ends, it already feels like the next one is loading. Sadly, we’re by now used to it and we’re just going with the flow. Nobody complains, nobody does anything. They... — read more

If you are told to underrate someone who earned better, how do you justify it to yourself? Does that ever sit wrong, or does it eventually become routine?

Everything that was said in that stupid meeting could have been said in an email. Your employee survey feedback su-ked and you still don’t get it!! Just hold more meetings to see why and how convenient no time for Q&A!! No mention of the 401k cuts. — read more

Given our current workforce culture ratio(s), this is curious to me. Are WE to become more like THEM, or are THEY going to become more like us?

Anyone cut today !

Asked my manager as a follow op with the 401k going down and what other total compensation costs there are projected to be in 2026. She was surprised that barely any people were asking about that, granted the area I work in is basically all women of... — read more

More layoffs, or not? I assume the fact that a significant number of layoffs happened yesterday doesn’t really affect what happens on Thursday.

Please comment if you were affected with the RIF yesterday what market and department.

Need to shut this down! As human beings how can we accept this from a company? How can we be apart of a blood money scheme like this? CLOSE THIS DOWN!!!! I used to work there…. This is 100% factual!... — read more

I know several were let go today, but the date we have all heard has been December 18th. Anyone know if more is to come on Thursday?

In an email manager recommended to take PTO, CEUs, equipment reimbursement, etc. early in the year (2026). More worries.

I’m so sorry for everyone impacted, especially with this happening just days before Christmas. Try not to let it get to you. It will all work out in the end. You’ll likely look back and be glad you left this place behind.

I’m curious if Optum will adjust severance again soon and if there’s any way to know that? Those updates sometimes come out of nowhere, but they’re too big a deal to just learn about them when the actual layoffs happen.

Good luck to everyone at WellMed who’s hoping that the axe doesn’t fall on them this week. Thought I’d raise the Festivis pole for an airing of the grievances or a place to drop the dread we’re all feeling!

Older folks can try to ride it out. But if you are younger person you need to look externally for opportunities. Going from 4.5 to 3.5 % is a ~23% cut on 401k match, plus any lost compound interest. Also factor in medical premium increases for... — read more

Our team's lost four people since the fall, and they aren't being replaced. All this extra work is probably just going to push more of us out the door. I don't see how this helps the company in the long run, but here we are.

Rumor has it that they are moving away from Tableau and Alteryx . Going to Databricks, PowerBI and Superset. Any truth to this?

Will they track both Badge In and Badge out? If so, say goodbye to Coffee Badging. Your time locked in the zoo will be tracked.
