I didn't get a salary increase. Did others get a salary increase? And I got only a 3% bonus increase. I also didn't get a salary increase two years back. Is this the norm at Optum or is the manager just prejudice towards me?
RRP question
If my target bonus is 8% and my RRP percent is 75% then I should get an 6% bonus, correct? The numbers aren't making sense on my annual review report, not sure if there was something else I'm missing. Trying to figure out if I'm getting sc--wed... — read more

What's their hang up with CVS?
I love CVS over any big chain pharmacy and was bummed when I had to switch everything over to Walgreens. So many problems with Walgreens. I am one that was really good at my career, been there for years, and recently laid off. I am looking at... — read more
Is merit even a benefit?
What’s the point of merit anyways? Do you really need the annual increases? If you need more money, just apply for a promotion? Seems merit just sets people up to be over compensated and candidates for layoffs.
IT layoffs
How many people have stopped calling IT because it’s a waste of time? Now we lost what little was left of the US techs. Smh

Bonus
Honestly, pretty satisfied with my review I had this week. 5% merit 110% bonus I’m near the top of my pay bracket which is why 1.5% makes sense. I’ll be up for a promotion next year. I came from 2 companies that never paid out bonuses... — read more

Are layoffs always done on Thursday?
Question. Are layoffs typically done on Thursday? Or does it vary?
I'm tired of having to work three jobs as one person
I really wish the management would stop getting rid of people and expecting the rest of us to pick up their work. This is not a sustainable solution and will only lead to a complete burnout of those of us who are still here. I'm already close to... — read more
Yes most CHC will not receive RRP
Yes must CHC legacy employees other than Managers and up will NOT receive RRP. I have seen this question now in many threads. The GL 30+ won’t receive merit but will receive a nice bonus usually between 24000-35000 while their teams will get zero RRP... — read more
Transformational BS
Jeff is full of sh-t. When things get tough only the ELT comes out on top. Create more positive energy, that will improve RRP supposedly. No one here feels valued.
CHC employees
I’m confused so not every division of Change Healthcare was eligible for a bonus? What was the criteria? I’m reading that some areas received bonuses and others did not. Not knowing why just reading seems like an unfair policy. Haven’t had my review... — read more
Fear, mongering or what?
I read almost every month that mass layoffs are expected, but each month passes and there are only minor cuts here and there, mostly in acquired companies. I'm not saying layoffs aren't happening, but they're not as severe as many are making them out... — read more
Get out
The place is a monumental disaster, just wish it would implode. There will be layoffs, that's for certain. Part of the goal is attrition due to no raises and minimal, if any bonuses; the attrition would be organic downsizing to help minimize layoffs... — read more
Can you fight against an unfair review score?
Please no mean comments- I was bullied by my manager into giving out low ratings for her benefit to only have her turn around to give me a low rating. She is targeting me because I am slated to move into a more senior role and was wondering if I have... — read more
This calls for more layoffs, naturally
I mean, profit was ONLY $22.4 billion. Guess we can expect more layoffs. Right? Why wouldn’t there be more money to share among leadership and shareholders? Let's kick out those who actually made this money!
Promotions?
Is anyone seeing promotions during this MAP review?
Secret Agents?
Who makes this $h!t up. Unbelievable. What a joke. Give me 100 Jason Bournes, please.

Hi all, I know the time range has opened for reviews. If anyone would be willing to share their percentage of RRP they received, I would appreciate it. Not wanting to know the actual amount you received, but I want to have an idea of the percentages... — read more

So long
Is anyone else planning on resigning on 3/1? The second my check with whatever minimal pennies they throw my way and try to tell me I should be appreciative of is deposited, I'm done with this organization.
Beware of the Creepy Narcissistic VP's
Our team was doing well until the VP's showed up and started creeping and keeping tabs at our meetings. This gave them enough ammo to rip apart, merge and eliminate positions. If you start seeing creepy looking VP's that look like creatures from a... — read more

Last year the cut was 4%. Does anyone know how the 8% cut will impact the business segments in 2024?
RRP
For those not already aware. RRP awards this years will be small to non existent with those GL30+ supposedly not getting anything. But don’t worry, that doesn’t apply to executives.
