Will Home and Community be impacted?
Does anyone know if Home and Community (business side) will be impacted by the 4/30 layoffs?
Specialty pharmacy
Are they going to lay off technicians??
Meanwhile on Linked in..
My linked in feed is filling with post about IT engineers getting new jobs at Optum India... "Liked" by the United healthcare account no less.... They have no f-ing shame.
No work left in the pipeline
Has anyone else seen their pipeline of work come to an end before RIFs? My team doesn't have any new projects planned to start after Q2. I assume this means we are being set up for layoffs. Any thoughts or similar experience?
OI onshore cuts today
Not poppycock or rumor. Asked this morning for multiple names from my 10 person onshore team. Of course they said we cant take anyone from our 35 person offshore team. OI is not meeting IOI, doesn't matter that my products are. This Jenga tower is... — read more
PTO
Just tried to take some PTO was approved but when I tried to put it in global time system, I got a message unfortunately missed the time. To submit this request. Ask your manager about the next open submission.. Anybody know what this is about?
Surest is the next business to be targeted
Surest is a junk product and the division is run by imbeciles. The news I picked up on today is it's about to get hit
Just got transfered to an Offshore Manager.
I think I am done for and that they are planning to move my job offshore too.
COBRA QUESTION
i have a feeling i'll be cut soon (weird vibe coming from the manager, being ghosted and gaslit) i am thinking about keeping cobra and wanted to see if anyone had experience with it. thank you...
Corporate America doesn’t serve America anymore
We need legislation that will force companies to pay money into unemployment benefits, equal to their profits if they choose to move the workforce offshore, or replace with AI. Why should 93% of America suffer so the 7% of stockholders can benefit?... — read more
It Looks Like There Were Layoffs Today
Tell us more about which areas and how many.
401 k
How long do you need to be at the company to be vested, partially or totally for your 401(k)?
I'm hoping to get laid off
Yes, even with this economy and the dismal job market. That's how unbearable this place has become for me.
What is the final timeline if I get notified?
If I get picked for layoff will I be on the books/expected to work for 2 more weeks after notification? If so I assume I can use my PTO to the bitter end until my last day.
Ahead of OI layoffs
A lot of what OI does is facilitate the functioning of other divisions. I'm not in OI, but OI's work and tech has enabled a lot of the 40-90% headcount cuts to other areas (not that those reductions were always well advised). A lot of the applied... — read more

VACCN
Layoffs still ongoing ?
So the major cuts happen on 4/30, and this week is nothing much?
Is that certain? I'd ki-l for two weeks without this stress.
Anyone being asked to track their time exempt employee?
Today my manager held a my 1:1 and told me he needs to me to start tracking my “activities” with how much time each takes. He claims upper leadership is wanting to get a better idea of the teams activities. We have about 8 people on our team. Anyone... — read more
4/16 or 4/30
Is it one or the other or both? And if you have any details please share at least a little bit
I just hope they stop with layoffs
That's it, that's the whole post
The only reason I hate Sundays is this job
They've got us stressed out constantly. No breaks, no rest, no relief. This company has completely taken over our lives.
New Optum Fl thoughts or insoght?
We are all curious to know if financially is it worth staying on board especially in light of bonuses being eliminated, cut in 401k, poor to no merit increases? Do you really believe this will improve? Any real insight? Please share!!!
Hierarchy of Needs
I just read Mind over Grind by Guy Winch… he tries to explain whats happening in our heads when laid off- goes over Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and that losing our job costs us security, social structure, status, accomplishment, as well as a sense... — read more
There has to be an end date
We can't go on like this forever. There has to be an end to layoffs. Are we supposed to stress over potentially losing our jobs for the rest of our working days?
Housecalls APCs
Anyone under a ton of micromanaging /scrutiny for low completion efficiencies beyond your control?
Cancelled one on ones
My manager cancelled our last two one on ones with no reason. Today I realized my manager cancelled the entire series. With the impending layoffs, should I be concerned I’m on the list?
Leaving changes people for the better
A former coworker was laid off last year. I saw a post from him recently. He looks like a different person. Relaxed, smiling, actually happy. I'm not jealous exactly. Just aware that leaving changed something for him. I'm glad he got out.
It's Thursday ... Any areas getting hit today?
Those "quick business update" meets should be either out by now or coming out soon.
Housecalls meeting
Does everyone else have a mandatory housecalls town hall tomorrow?
Question
Do the people who come here to a-s kiss Optum even get compensated for all of the puckering or do they just do it for free?
Stock up $26 on the news. The lesson here...
Layoffs and all the nonsense narratives that are spewed on this site have NOTHING to do with stock price. It's all about Medicare reimbursements, gov regulations and to a very small degree public sentiment. A huge amount of our stock is owned by... — read more
Schedule/Availability
Any other housecall APCs notice they don't have a schedule in practitioner portal after May? Seems odd, and wasn't that way last year or years prior I would not be mad at being laid off, as I've been looking hard since beginning of this year for a... — read more
ATTN WELLMED EMPLOYEES

Increase in vto? Should we be worried?
Has anyone else noticed the recent increase in VTO offerings across Medicare/Medicaid member services? Trying to better understand if this is just volume-related or part of a larger shift. If anyone has any general insight or perspective, it would... — read more
