For the folks laid off today, when is your last day on the job ? I wish you all the best. 🙏
You'll be okay
If you got severance, consider yourself lucky. Take the money and go find a job somewhere you're not constantly inundated with layoffs and where employees are seen as more than just numbers. Places like that still exist. I know it's scary right now... — read more
3 laid off from the Optum User Service Solutions
After almost a decade with Optum Technology, I was finally part of one of the more or less monthly layoffs that UHG/Optum Technology undergoes. 😞 According to the directors in my meeting, the business justification was that UHG missing their target... — read more
Is this a one-day layoff?
If we survive today, we're good?

Optum Infusion
Been with the company almost 9 years. High performer. Laid off today. No one is safe.
Is nobody safe??
We lost two coworkers today. One has been here for over a decade, and the other just joined this year. They have nothing in common - different tenure with Optum, different levels of experience, different pay. One is a known high performer, and we... — read more
Does anyone have info on OptumTech?
I've heard something was up from people last week. I've also been told some leaders have been asked to provide a name.
Which orgs/teams are being affected today?
Please post updates. Good luck to everyone.
Nobody likes working here
I'm yet to find one person who's not at least passively looking for a way out. Optum was never a perfect place to work, but it was better than what it's turned into. The constant toxicity, unrealistic expectations, layoffs, and so many other things... — read more

I'm exhausted
How are we supposed to function while worrying about cuts every single day? I can't deal with this anymore. It's affecting my health and my relationships. I'm always nervous, always on edge. Who in their right mind thinks this is a good way to treat... — read more
why did it become tuesday instead of thursday
I hear layoffs on Tuesday, 4/29. But it usually always happens on Thursdays?
Stack Ranking
How’s does it actually work for leaders? How much does tenure matter vs what would be the least disruptive to the business? Does tenure save you or being in the right location?
2025 Proxy Statement
Worth a read, esp. the Executive Compensation section. That 1% merit increase will hurt even more after reading that. https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/content/dam/UHG/PDF/investors/2025/2025_proxy_statement_final.pdf
DOJ investigating Landmark
What’s up with the email that was sent to providers about the DOJ investigating Landmark from 2022 to present?
Optum is a grinding machine
It chews you up and spits you out. All while an axe hovers above you, ready to fall. A great place to work, truly.
RIF/Layoff Package
I am interviewing for a promotion within Optum. What if I am laid off on Tuesday and it takes more than two weeks to get into the new role? Would I then have to payback the package if I accept the offer?
500 laid off yesterday 04/23 - Confirmeded
A manager just sent us an email: We were just informed that 500 people were laid off yesterday and that they were advocates, leaders, and executives"

Good luck to all of us next Thursday
It was indeed supposed to be this Thursday. In a meeting today I was told there is a good chance it'll be moved to next Thursday. They'll make a final decision tomorrow. The packages haven't been signed off on yet by finance. OP:... — read more

552 Landmark employees received an email tonight about 2 meetings. Attend the one tomorrow or the other Thursday.
This true?
I heard 4/29 was the new notification date
Witty 12% raise
Phew... i thought my 1.8% raise was going to break the bank, but they had enough left over to Sir Andrew
UHC stock likely to drop again
All the lawsuits and V28. I can’t wait until the DOJ deep dives NAVIhealths skilling of SNFs. All they need to do is admit the ISNP /IESNP skilling before Navi and after as well as the disgruntled Home and Community staff emails to leaders on how... — read more
Stop Asking What Dept We Work In
Nobody’s going to tell you and it sounds incredibly suspicious.
Computer
Last day was 4/1. I haven’t received the shipping box they said they would send for me to return my devices. Anyone else laid off on 4.1 that hasn’t received it?
So stressful!
Landmark being dismantled. You wonder continuously when the layoff will be. When do you find out? When you start a workday and get “the email” for the meeting that morning. Your audio and camera is turned off, you’re told by someone you don’t know... — read more
