Still no RRP for CHC merged employees
It was recently found out that CHC employees are not getting the RRP. CHC employees also didn’t get it last year. It’s annoying hearing them try to put on a facade that we are welcomed and part of the team, but it is clear we are not valued. The... — read more

This is absolutely a s*** post and hold no weight but why in earth would they change the time you’re allowed to clock in go from 5 minutes to 3? I’m so sorry were my extra two minutes a day really digging into your profit margins??????

The 16th is around the corner. What’s with layoffs?
Postponed or not? I know it doesn’t make much difference in the long run. They are about to offshore everyone and everything. This year is going to be exceptionally bad. I’m in the business of buying time until I find something else, so every day... — read more

WARN notices
https://www.warntracker.com/?company=optum I'm pretty sure the one filed 09/2024 is for 01/2025 (not 01/2024.) if you're in the NJ or NY area, be on the lookout! these notices are filed and Optum WILL be laying people off.
Optum insight provider market town hall
Was disheartening, but not surprising, when they outlined strategy to buy new companies for solutions instead of building internally solutions to physician problems. They also bragged about having tons of dry powder to buy lots of new companies, as... — read more

MA and VBID, what issss the deal?
Value based insurance design in Medicare Advantage discontinued after 2025. Over 7 million members will be negatively affected, but that probably means UHG employees will be safe, right? Otherwise I would have seen layoff speculations for any... — read more
Any suggestions on places to apply?
I've reached my breaking point with this company. I've been on this team for two years and busted my tail through all the issues, through the CHC nonsense (which isn't my job, I helped to try and look good for a promotion), finished my masters, and... — read more
RRP
Did anyone else hear that RRP is delayed this year? Any news on overall merit budget?
To All the Keyboard Warriors and Masters of Nastiness - REMEMBER THIS IS A LAYOFF FORUM

I need a new job
I don’t even care if they treat me like cr-p, just like this place. As long as they pay me better, I’m in.
Not many avenues to advance
With the trends of AI and offshoring, many of us are likely now viewed as just temporary workers. I adjusted my expectations accordingly and stopped making any effort to progress my career. I just take my paycheck and try to do only the bare minimum... — read more
24 Hour Nurseline Sunsetted
I heard the 24 hour Nurseline is sunsetted. Was there a layoff? Or transitioned to a different department? Can anyone affected offer details?
Any real layoff info?
Any real layoff information? What area might be next and when?
Any corporate/executives want to share info they normally would not but can be anonymous
I know there must be people in the higher positions with morals and a conscience or am I the fool?!?!?

Feeling the pressure of uncertainty
The idea of layoffs sends my anxiety through the roof. I try to stay calm, but it’s hard when I’ve been hunting for a new job for months with no luck. What baffles me even more is how some people aren’t fazed by the idea of losing their jobs. It... — read more
I’m not grateful for my job
Nobody should be. A job is neither a gift nor a handout. We all work hard and it’s us who create value, actually earn the money for the company, and get just a minuscule fraction of earnings in return.
We need to put a stop to this
Can we put whoever compiles the layoff list at the top of the next one? It’s painfully clear they have no idea what they’re doing. How else do you explain us losing some of our best employees in every single round? Someone needs to step in and fix... — read more

Surprised no one is talking about the PBM issue at hand
The reason for the big drop in stock price seems to be the PBM issue in the spotlight. Besides the bi-partisan bills in congress to make the big 3 sell them off, even the incoming trump administration is saying he plans to do away with the PBM’s as... — read more
