Good bye Mahmoud to Optum Insight under Candyman100x Incoming Hari who worked for WiPro and Cognizant as your SVP Get ready ready!

“Annuals checks to begin soon” Another way to weed out people instead of laying off. I get it’s in the employment contract but I’ve never got this email all the years I’ve worked here.

I was laid off several months ago. I've gotten to the final round multiple times since then and each time, they pick someone else. The reasons are always vague and feel like excuses. My self confidence is now completely destroyed. I'm losing sleep... — read more 

There was a colleague in a different department that I worked with and anytime I look them up on teams they are still there, last seen approximately 2 months ago. I have a feeling they were let go, but wouldn't they be gone from teams by now? Maybe... — read more 

Noticed recently there are 599 new OGA (offshore) employees, and their U.S. manager was part of the 04/30 layoff. Anyone out there with more info on what’s to come? Timeline, which departments, etc.

It's great news for all of us who work here to see the recovery.

Leadership changes coming? any info….

Humans are not made to withstand so much stress on a daily basis. We really aren't. Even if our physicals health remains fine (and it rarely does) this all takes a huge toll on our mental health. I'm this close to quitting every single day because of... — read more 

I keep seeing things that make me think there will be layoffs this week? Does anyone know anything?

Noncompete? No talking to media? Agree not to sue?

He wasn't laid off, he was fired. Nobody seems to know why, and I honestly can't think of a single thing that could have caused it. He's (well, was) one of our hardest workers. Is this something we should now be scared of as well? Random firings for... — read more 

This isn't a post about rumors or Optum info, it's a post for folks that are hit by RIFs and are tight on funds. Being RIF'd is traumatic for many and in the storm one's focus could be clouded. If your money is tight and you contribute to the 401k... — read more 

Hi, does anyone know the future of Optum at home/care delivery/ Palliative team

When is the current employee survey going to start? Do you complete? Does your boss require you to take it even those it’s supposed to be anonymous?

Hi all, I am still pretty early in my career (4 yrs of experience) but I am on some major projects within my team and I am the only person who knows how to do certain things or navigate certain systems. I asked for plan on a pay raise mid last year... — read more 

With so many different layoff dates being thrown around, I honestly have no idea what’s coming anymore or when. At this point, I can’t even tell whether next week is safe or not.

I am not sure of how many will be impacted but June 25th is the date for June layoffs. I hate this for anyone impacted, but brace yourselves and just know if this is not your moment to be affected, give grace to those who were and ready your personal... — read more 

Why are we pushing to adopt a self destructive technology? https://youtu.be/F-6la_I-xkQ

Go to sparq and go under career and learning on the right hand side. Select “request feedback from colleagues.” You can see who is on leave of absence paid and unpaid and everything. Wow. Good going that HR in India sharing all the personal details... — read more 

I find it unbelievable how many VP's Optum has. One thing I learned was that when Optum acquires a company they assign them a title based on the money that they made in their last company. Hence, so many people having titles that significantly... — read more 

If I leave Optum voluntarily, do I forfeit all my PTO or do they have to pay out what I accrued? Based in Minnesota.

Major announcement in ECS. UHG has determined it is cost effective to offshore pre authorization services for LTAC, IRF and SNF to the Philippines. 30-40% is caseload gone. Member PHI to be handled by 3rd world

I heard most Wipro and Sapient contracts will being terminated or at best not be extended but it's not being announced. Just terminate one by one or not extend so it won't make big news.. I heard this from a SG32 in people team. I am 31 and have log... — read more 

We all know they aren't anonymous. NOT doing them hurts mgmt more than doing them and giving negative reviews. NOT doing them en masses makes a bigger dent than doing them and complaining.

Any word on who will be hit in the sound this month? Optum Tech, any others?

May 28 is pretty much locked in. I had to give a name from my team. I'm in OT and it will hit here pretty hard this ho around Can this be confirmed by somebody else?

Does anyone know the impact on Optum health and Optum care this month?

KY TN CA BON reports filed. We have to make sure these lousy incompetent employees are held accountable for their actions.

Sorry but to me it feels like this emergency test is also to make sure we have a personal email so when they lay us off they can just send the documents or communication there. I went in and there is no way to remove it. Maybe I’m extremely paranoid... — read more 

Any other pharmacists laid off on 4/30 from OptumRx? 15 years with the company. Anyone know numbers on all these layoffs ?

My understanding is there will be another round of layoffs end of this month with the end date being middle of June. It is possible it slightly gets pushed back but from what I’m hearing they want the list locked and announced end of month. Optum... — read more 

I'm struggling here. Every week there's a new rumor about cuts, and just when I think I've got my role figured out, my manager changes what I'm supposed to be doing. I can't plan, I can't relax, and I can't tell if I'm doing well or about to get cut... — read more

Laid off 2 months ago after 28 years with UHG. Devastating! All internal positions I apply for, immediately “they are pursuing other candidates more qualified”. WTH? I’m even applying for job grades lower than when I left & still the same responses... — read more 

I’d like to ask for clarification around AHT expectations within Member Services. We’ve been told that AHT is not a primary performance metric when all other quality measures are being met, yet many of us are now being told our AHT is being closely... — read more 

My manager is still constantly breathing down my neck all the time. If I need to be under constant pressure and control, maybe I'm not exactly fit to train that wretched, hallucinating AI.

Anyone lose their jobs in credit balance? God I wish they would lay me off.
