No need to give specifics, but I am just curious about everyone's experience with AI outside of conversational chat, so I'm not talking about prompting Copilot to help with summarizing stuff, helping debug a coding problem, or writing user stories... — read more 

I’m due with my baby in a month and I cannot help but feel so bitter. I was laid off back in February and have felt nothing but stress since. Genuinely hate myself for ever considering joining this company.

It's coming by 15th. Affects UHC/Optum Tech. They have already hired a large number of people in India and now laying off US employees. @at+1knfpa49z

I just looked up my information in teams. My business address is now listed as “Bassett”. There is no town near me with this name or that has a UHC building. Does anyone know what this means? I am a remote worker currently. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have concrete intel on any April layoffs?

Constant pressure, endless questioning, no acknowledgment or reward, and then you're dismissed without a word. Eventually you start doubting everything - your skills, your capacity, your value. And yet, the people I've worked with here have been... — read more 

The pay increases lately don’t come even close to match how expensive everything else has become. Think about it, we're effectively getting pay cuts instead of pay raises when you calculate in the increase in cost of living.

Any kind of severance or at least unemployment?

Now you want to bleed us further with more cuts? That is our reward for literally working evenings and weekends for months?

Anyone have insight on home and community prior auth reviewers? Not enough work for everyone right now and am wondering if layoffs are imminent. Any insight is much appreciated!

Anything in particular that they do or what we should watch for to let us know they are going to either lay us off or force us to quit?

I was laid off last month and received severance. I will also apply for unemployment, and I know that unemployment doesn't start to pay until after the severance # weeks passes. Do I have to show that I'm looking for a job during that severance... — read more 

Anyone else noticing targeting older experienced employees to push them out .?

For those of you have been impacted, how was your final pay received? I’m salaried and was let go on 3/19 with final date of 4/2. I received a direct deposit on 4/2 in two of my bank accts but not my 3rd acct. I expecting to get paid for 3/22-4/3... — read more 

UHC and Optum, tech roles. Zamuda and her croonies plotting cost cutting n offshoring to preserve their 2026 bonus. Someone should ask how much they make, how much they code and do actual work vs "though leadership" and vision BS. I can ask AI to... — read more 

Anyone know anything about a meet & greet in FW on 4/22, hosted my UHC Tech? Feels like a trap somehow lol.

I can only imagine how many people would take a voluntary resignation package. It will never be offered in OT because of assessments done years ago. HR determined the technical debt that would occur would be too much to immediately overcome. One... — read more 

Anyone know the timeline for Allina layoffs?

Since this market closed on 3/31 I was wondering if they found jobs for the NCM’s and SW’s?

More for UHC but I wanted to know if anyone else got the ridiculous email about the “ Executive Complaints” email regarding appeals. For those not in the know basically if a Governor, share holder, state person or anyone else in the top 1% have UHC... — read more

On-site meeting to align with the new re-org. Maybe an April list.

Please post if you are impacted by the layoffs today. Let us know department and paygrade if you feel comfortable sharing.

People saying ORX isn’t affected but more than 25 pharmacists were laid off. It’s unsettling.

Anyone in Housecalls get the gaslighting email from leadership last week? Seems in many and I'm guessing most markets, APCs are complaining of the unrealistic expectations this year and how goals are more difficult to achieve. Basically told; we... — read more 

If I could leave tomorrow I would. I've been at several companies and this is the worst. Maybe it's my age (nearing 50), or burnout, or just the healthcare industry being awful. Probably all of it. I can barely drag myself in. I just wish the economy... — read more 

I got laid off by OptumRx. I was unhappy with my manager and the unrealistic expectations. My manager treated me poorly from the start anyway but it seems like all my ex-coworkers still have their jobs and have no idea that these layoffs were... — read more 

Noticed they’ve separated onshore and offshore Datadog access. Is this a response to concerns around PHI and PII exposure offshore? Or is there another operational or compliance reason driving the change? If anyone in leadership has context on what... — read more 

It’s bad all the time. I mean if there is anything in particular not to look forward to?

The workload here is insane, but what really gets me is how everyone acts like it's totally normal. Totally acceptable. Working late isn't an exception around here, it's just expected. This kind of pace isn't sustainable and I'm watching people... — read more 

On the UHC layoff thread someone recently shared that Optum Real is being phased out and that the work is being moved back to Super Connector?Does anyone have additional information? When is this going to be announced?

Love seeing this!

Why does anyone work here anymore? I can't wait to be laid off or quit, hoping for the former! Wasn't today walk out day? If you get fired do you still have to pay back sign on bonus?

DOes anyone know when the next layoff at wellmed will be? Im looking into quitting but would like to wait until the next layoffs. Just in case so i can get my severance package. Either way, im ready to get out of here
