It’s only a matter of time before every insurance company does this. It’s cheaper no salary, benefits or expenses to pay. Even a revenue generating position isn’t safe in this company anymore. They will find a way to eliminate everyone if they can — read more 

Is this new team being dismantled or laid off? It was formed in August 2023.

I’m at age when I expect to be kicked to the curb, but not anywhere near retirement yet. I still have debt to service and dependents, and I’m not secured for the future in the case I lose the job. My age also doesn't make me easily employable... — read more 

So for the SICCs and CMCCs, what do you think of the email that just came out today? The predict is the bane of our existence. It is deceitful, it’s confusing, it is a big insult to our clinical judgment. It should be abolished all together! The... — read more

Any idea if this includes Optum Insight Payment Integrity

Our market in Landmark has an hour long meeting on Thursday with this title. Does anyone have any info? I thought meetings called “clinical updates” had to do with layoffs.

I can’t afford to lose the job now. I guess not many can these days.

Following the pattern of recent layoffs are we looking at another RIF in October? If so has anyone heard ANYTHING about who/what will be affected?? Any intel is appreciated, and negative comments discouraged.

I’ve now heard from many colleagues on both clinical and business side that the IESNP clinical senior leaders are failing, not surprising if you know who they are. All divisions are tired of the excuses and poor leadership, especially when their... — read more 

I was laid off mid April due to “lack of work/downsizing” and have been gone maybe 3 months. I received a call asking if I would like to come back. Has this happened to anyone else?

I gave my notice last week and I was shocked when I was asked if there was anything they could do to keep me. I'm not under the impression that I'm irreplaceable or so important that I'm the only one being asked this. My guess is that so many people... — read more
