Are the RIFs really expected to be worse than usual? There’s always some level of reduction in force, but a lot of what’s being said doesn’t seem grounded in anything concrete. It’s hard to imagine them cutting a third of OI or Health with so many... — read more

It's just survival mode at Optum now, constantly restless, constantly anxious. This weekend was especially bad because I know what's coming this week. So damn exhausting.

Wait and see if you're chosen to stay.

I've heard so many different rumors that pieced together, it sounds massive. Anyone have anything more concrete?

Does anyone have an idea of what teams/departments will be impacted by next week’s layoffs?

Not some. All of it.

HR is questioning my 10 day bereavement that I took last month. Is this normal or should I be worried that they are looking to include me in the next round?

Isn’t Care Week (what a joke) scheduled for next week? I keep hearing layoffs will be on 4/30. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have the layoffs this Thursday?

We're the ones who keep overextending ourselves to cover for those who are cut. We do it over and over again. If we all just stopped, they wouldn't be able to do this anymore. Work wouldn't get done. There would be consequences for their actions. As... — read more
