Optum being so big, have people in the California/west heard anything?

Got layed off this morning in a large Teams call. From high ups in corporate down to the little people like me. All gone. If you're wondering what department, it's all of them. Good luck

Checkin here

CC leads have been let go.

Is the application offline for anyone else? I’m suspicious that it’s related to the layoffs.

I know today is scary as he-l, but it will improve. Every single person I know who was laid off over the last few years (and I know quite a few of them) had a new job within a few months and is thriving right now. The majority say their situation... — read more

I barely slept for two hours. I have no idea how I'm going to get through today. I won't be productive whatever happens, that's for sure.

Here to hoping Andrew Witt, Sandeep and all other GL 29+ get the axe this time to cut out the REAL dead we have here silo’d out providing absolutely ZERO contribution to the employees OR its own very customers/patients.

Will Optum infusion be in this layoff round tomorrow? I’d so what division?

How about we shut it down for the night. We're torturing ourselves and big wigs are relaxing. I'm forcing myself off of this. The bottom line is that they don't care one bit about our stress. Let polish up those old resumes and get working on bigger... — read more 

Anyone know what is happening tomorrow with navi?

At this point in not listening to anyone coming on here with vague information. Say the full title and dept. We're down to the final hours and we need specifics. If you're just fooling around, please stop. There are people who have been on edge and... — read more 

I got an email that my whole team is getting invites tomorrow morning. Not sure how to feel about this.

Confirmed 15 min invite at 8am for HSM’s, DCO’s and ED’s. SW Managers at 11am.

I am saying a prayer for all affected tomorrow. I am not sure if I will be included just waiting to see. This company isn’t right.

I've read so many comments by either people who no longer work for the company, current disgruntled employees or just people who love to gossip. Nobody knows a thing except for a select few who are sworn to secrecy. And this is the reason... — read more

I don't know how I'm going to deal with another full day of this dreadful anticipation. I barely slept at all!

I plan to wait out this round of layoffs to see if I am affected (I'm not turning down severance if I don't have to) but if I'm not, I'll be leaving on my own. This work environment and constant layoffs are too stressful for me. I refuse to lose my... — read more 

did anyone get any additional 7/18 meeting invites? any updates?

Any medical coders involved in this round of RIFs?

Do we know how many people are expected to be impacted this Thursday within Optum Tech?

Does anyone out there know which roles will be effected within Landmark and when?! I am exhausted from being a sitting duck! I have heard SW, CM's, CHA managers, CHA's and now I've even heard it may be some of the ED's, NP's and MD's! What is... — read more

So what makes you think there is a massive layoff on Thursday?

I was RIF'd in April but my boss, who was RIF'd too had me lined up to go to another division outside of Optum Tech. I was a GL30 with reports who I had to RIF in the past and the typical method is that on the morning of the RIF an invite comes out... — read more 

Listening to fire side chat… seems to me they want to tighten the reins and use AI to stream line positions. Anyone else see that as well?
