There are only two types of Sundays, one with normal levels of anxiety and one when anxiety goes through the roof. Sc--w the workplace which manages to ruin our every weekend.
Optum at Home
I am an RN - was laid off from Optum earlier this year, was redeployed under Optum at Home (not Landmark). Lots of changes lately, wouldn’t be surprised if I hear that my program no longer ceases to exist soon, we serve DSNP members. Was wondering if... — read more
If Landmark is going down…
…why are they still hiring? What is going on here? The mixed signals are exhausting. How much longer do the Landmark employees have?
OI Layoffs?
Has anyone heard if OI will be impacted by the scheduled layoffs?
Where is Andrew Witty?
Why is he missing in action? Haven’t gotten emails from him in a long time and there hasn’t been any fireside chats.
10/17 Layoffs
Any updated news? Speculations??
Town Hall posted for 10/30
Usually these coincide with a layoff, would be close to the term from a 10/17 layoff....
Another round of layoff on 10/17
Any information on layoffs on 10/17? Which areas? How many employees being let go?
Give us more time off
Let’s face it, we all need a solid three-day weekend every week to recharge from the daily grind and all the cr-p we have to take all the time. Plus, it might even motivate those managers who seem to do nothing all day to actually pitch in once in a... — read more
I Wonder…
…if they disabled the system that catches voicemails so it would look like we’ve been taking more calls. Is this just busywork?
Any other area but LM being targeted today?
Fingers crossed for all of us.
Why no Early Retirement option?
Why doesn't Optum offer an Early Retirement package and allow a reduction by a more humane method for anyone who would like to consider that option? Most other companies do this.
Layoff 10/7
Earlier post mentioned a layoff in MI, any other areas affected?
Provider Relationship Specialists - Landmark
This is a position that they're trying to gaslight as this brand-new position, but in April the Provider Engagement Specialist role was already eliminated which seems to have been 100% identical. I've heard of a big Landmark layoff on 10/17 with a... — read more
What's the point in staying here?
We're having layoffs practically nonstop! This is inhumane. I understand every job comes with stress but Optum has taken things to a whole new level. We're no longer working here, we're just waiting for our turn to be laid off. I don't know a single... — read more
10/7 It's happening TODAY.
Just received an invite for 15 minutes in teams with upper mgt from MA. Wonder who will go today?
Landmark Markets closing?
Any insight/information on the markets that will be closing? We just lost another contract, possibly another on on the way....
Please please please can we agree to just stop calling these people “leaders”??
They embody not one shred of leadership competencies. At best they are toxic managers, and at worst narcissistic bullies. The one word they are not is leaders. Leaders embody values; ethics; morals; vision; fortitude, and tenacity. Leaders inspire... — read more
Workforce reduction
Laid off are still coming for Optum across the country. This is due to the data breach of Change Healthcare and the company restructure.
Any updates on which departments will be targeted by layoffs?
I have been hearing all sorts of things. Do we know anything for certain?
A shining example of Optum leadership integrity
Someone in this article works at Optum may have not be truthful to police regarding a child abuse... — read more
Landmark in Michigan
Does anyone know if there will be cuts for Landmark in the Michigan market? HSMs? Will they be fired? Nurses? Providers? Will the whole market shut down?
Future of Landmark....
Is there one? All signs point to wipe out of landmark by 2025, anyone have any actual information about this????
Unused PTO (Vacation) time
Do they pay for unused PTO (Vacation time)? Do I have to use up my PTO before getting notified of layoff by my manager or can I use it within the two weeks after getting notified?
I stopped caring about layoffs
I’ve been so anxious and stressed about the possibility of being laid off during one of the many rounds. That on top of my job being stressful enough. At one point I realized I have been literally destroying my health. From then on, I’ve learned... — read more
I worked for Optum and got replacedby cheap indian labor
After working for United healthcare ffor 15 years and getting multiple rewards and comments from leaders on how great my performance was and excellent manager reviews for 15 years. This Anti- American company fires amaricans and replaces them with... — read more
Will this ever end?
As soon as one layoff ends, we start speculating about the next, which always happens within a month or two. Rinse and repeat. I'm exhausted from always having to worry about my job. I can understand having layoffs from time to time, but all the... — read more
Do I get a 60 day notice once my manager tells me I am getting laid-off?
(Let's say if my manager tells me I am laid-off on Oct 17.) Will I still be on Optum's payroll for 60 days after my manager tells me I am getting laid-off on Oct 17? When would my last working day be with Optum? When do I file for unemployment?... — read more
Oct 17th seems to be the most likely date of layoffs
Hearing that from different sources. Optum at Home and Tech are rumored as the probable targets. Do we know more? Any other depts?
IESNP
Anyone on the call want to give info ?

If the layoff follows the current pattern OCT 17 would be the next potential Layoff, anyone have any info at all?? please and thank you
What’s the latest about October round?
Do we know anything new about it? Which departments/areas? Most importantly, how many people?
EIS leaders whacked?
Saw a "happy to start my new role" post on LinkedIn for a "name" hire (i.e. exec from high profile security company that lets UHG C*O's claim they did everything they could to stop the next inevitable breach) and his new titles overlap other execs... — read more
Stop being too helpful
I remember when I first started, I was so eager to do a good job that I agreed to help out with many different things. At first, it seemed like I was going above and beyond and everybody was happy. But before long, it wasn't seen as extra effort... — read more
Patient support department
Does anyone have anymore info about that email we received today stating all calls will now be routed to patient support? Will they be letting go of employees who answer calls on site/clinics?

The future doesn’t look good
If you think the company’s biggest problem this year is Change Health, you better prepare yourself. This leadership is burning the org into the ground. The org will be feeling the impact of lost revenue from coding and stars. The industry is doing an... — read more
Welcome Back
Got laid off from Optum on 04/18 and they called me back a couple of weeks ago begging me to come back this week because the workload was too much. Lol CSP/OHBS Quality Auditor for Behavioral
