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
AHT member services
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
The funniest part about training AI?
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.
RIFs in Credit Balance?
Anyone lose their jobs in credit balance? God I wish they would lay me off.
Laid off yesterday after 16 years
I'm actually looking forward to the first decent weekend in forever, and to never touching healthcare again. Got an interview next week for something completely different at a small company. Wish me luck. And do yourselves a favor, find something... — read more
UNIONIZE BEFORE AI TAKES YOUR JOB
THEY'RE MAKING YOU TRAIN YOUR REPLACEMENT. USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI, USE AI. INCREASE YOUR USAGE, INCREASE... — read more
The wrong target
Every round of cuts here goes after the people who keep things running. The ones who know the systems, who have the relationships, who fix problems before anyone notices them. The dead weight somehow always survives. They are not cutting fat. They... — read more
Layoffs Trigger Heightened Nepotism and Cronyism
It's time to say the quiet part out loud. Have you ever wondered why upper leadership are so terrible at their roles, have no expertise related to their core functions, and can hardly string together a coherent sentence? It's because they were never... — read more
Voluntary Separation Please!
It is heartbreaking to see those employees who want to stay, lose their jobs. It makes zero sense when you know you have many that will voluntarily separate.
May 28th in OT. I was asked for 2 names yesterday.
Looks like a decent sized one at the end of May. I was asked for 2 names today. I have a peer in another old Tesmer team that had to give some too. Seems like it might be pretty good sized.

We are topping layoff charts again

IT developer here: AI is coming for our jobs.
Do not think about chatbots. Do not think about AI (pick any ChatGPT etc) writing an email or summarizing a meeting. That is not the real threat. The real threat is the dozen projects happening behind the scenes that are automating back-office... — read more
No RIF today
Seems Apr 30 RIF was all just rumors.
Ageism is alive and well
Too many reports of people 55+ being let go in disproportionate numbers.
Internal job postings
Anyone else notice the internal job posting site is down on the day of layoffs?
OptumInsight
I saw in another post that 30% of OI employees would be impacted. Doesn't seem that way. Anyone know if they can give you notice on 5/1 vs. today?
Lay offs
Doesn’t seem like any layoffs are taking place today????
4/30 RIF IMPACTED
hi, Hoping anyone impacted today might find this thread and post whatever info they can for the rest of us anxious souls. Good luck everyone! ❤️
Targeted salary grades and Age?
Anyone from the previous round willing to share their age and salary grade? Curious if the same age groups or grades are being targeted in the cuts rumored for today.
KSC Clinics Closing
Anyone have any info on what KSC clinics are closing for good? I know our path of growth was too aggressive, but didn’t think closing clinics was the solution. I always assumed they would just do a hiring freeze instead of laying off WellMed... — read more
Good luck to everyone tomorrow
And whatever comes, take care of yourselves. No stress. No self-doubt. None of this is your fault.
Wellmed employee PTO?
I have 77 hours of PTO accumulated. What will happen to it if I’m let go tomorrow?
Invites
Anyone have invites yet?
ECS or H&C
Any insight on layoffs within this department?
Lots of Change. Will tomorrow impact TA?
Just wondering how long it will take for TA to be hit. Work is a a trickle and people are scrambling to find jobs to work on. Any thoughts?
Lay offs in May?
So someone mentioned there being a realignment in my area after the next employee survey. Anyone know of any lay offs in May?
Optum Serve
Any intel on layoffs in Optum Serve?
Is Wellmed getting hit again this week?
Seems like Optum is doing everything it can to eliminate Wellmed, just wondering what we are up against this week.
How do RIFs typically work?
When do you get the meeting invite from your manager? How long does the meeting usually last?
Optum Super Heroes
Did anyone notice that OptumInsight only had 5 Super Heroes awarded?
Drinking on the job
Are many of you like me that often have several drinks throughout the day, and are even buzzed often? The constant threat of layoffs, the incompetence of the offshore people and management. Drinking has been my coping mechanism. Mainly wondering... — read more

The annual cycle
Every year we hire a bunch of people. Every year we fire a bunch of people. Can we just pick a plan and stick with it for once.
