Grade 26 remote
Has anyone heard grade 26 remote CDI being on the RIF list?
Carenet Health
Supervisors were laid off today from the wellmed branch within Carenet health. Anyone from wellmed out there know when Carenets contract will end with wellmed ? Assuming that is sooner than later with the amount of clinic closures.
How does an ex employee contact Optum HR/Payroll?
Friday will be my last day at Optum. I am very lucky in that this was my decision. I'm also lucky in that I live in a state where accumulated PTO must be paid out. If, for some reason, there are discrepancies in my final paycheck, how does an ex... — read more
Let's hope the era of layoffs as a fix-all is behind us
Maybe that'll finally force leadership to step up their game and actually run the business instead of just extracting wealth.
Guilt is still eating at me
I survived the last several rounds of layoffs and I feel horrible about it. Some of the best people on our team got cut and I'm still here, with less than two years under my belt. I know logically it's not my fault, but I can't shake this guilt every... — read more
The New Bill - Stopping This Company
The "Break Up Big Medicine Act," introduced in February 2026 by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley, seeks to dismantle vertically integrated healthcare conglomerates. It aims to prohibit companies from owning both healthcare providers and... — read more
UNH 269.54 USD
Not looking good.
Avg GL on this site? Good to know for context
I'm curious what the GL is of the folks that post here. Not trying to be inflammatory or judgmental at all, just curious to put the comments into context. BTW if you have to ask what's a GL, you're probably not an employee.
House calls
Anyone show no schedule past May 2026 in house calls? Seems odd, but with the current environment not surprised.
Strong rumors building for a mid April RIF event.
Has anyone heard of anything brewing in OT, ORx OI etc? O lot of VP's have resigned in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if they were offered a package or knew something bad was coming?
Severance - how long to receive payment?
Anyone have any experience with how long it’s taking to receive severance payment? I submitted mine electronically March 9th.
YIR Considered for RIF
Those are in the know now, are YIR and external teama feedback considered during charting out who gets laid off? If GL-32 is very happy with my performance and thinks highly of my contribution, will that matter during RIF where only a few teammates... — read more
I swear, if they bring WFH back now…
They're just je-king us around, aren't they? Maybe they'll tie it to a gas price threshold - check the pump each morning, find out if you're driving in. Next-gen attrition tactics!
Doing more didn't save me
I picked up extra work, helped other teams, and stayed late when it was needed, and in the end none of it seemed to matter. The people making the layoff calls clearly had no clue who was actually doing the work. That’s the frustrating part, when what... — read more
Is next week safe?
Can we have at least a week where we don't have to worry about cuts? Just a single one?
Whoooooo decided who gets laid off ??
Does anyone know how do they dew use we get laid off ? Our managers decide? Or MD ??
KSC being acquired (again)
Rumor has it TPG is talking about stepping in to buy the struggling clinic after Optum couldn’t turn it around. We shall see…
How many cuts before nothing's left
I'm watching team after team get carved up and wondering when this becomes unsustainable. They keep cutting deeper, and everyone left is just expected to absorb the rest. No one's asking if the work still gets done, or who's going to be around to do... — read more
RTO special: People urged to work from home in global oil crisis
LOL.. RTO ages like fine wine. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/people-urged-home-global-oil-091037252.html
Wellmed fired 45 doctors yesterday
Https://www.wellmedhealthcare.com/notices/ No telling how many PA or FNP got let go. As I understand it, the plan is to cut the panel in half over the next year. IMO this cutting our way to success is not going to work
2026 Layoff Dates
Does anyone have the remaining known dates for layoffs this year? I just saw a comment on another post that said 3/19/26 was 1 of 4 remaining, but I’ve only seen 4/30 as the next known date. So, if 3/19 and 4/30 are 2 of the 4 dates, what are the... — read more
There's really no way to protect yourself from layoffs, is there?
The most productive, most liked because she's always helping others, the most knowledgeable person on our team, the person who made our manager look good was laid off. So tell me, if all of that didn't save her, then what's there to do to be safe?... — read more
Time Card Blocked
Has anyone noticed or heard of your time card being blocked if you’re going to be laid off? I went to go try to cancel a PTO request for later in the summer, but after April 4, my time card is totally black. I cannot make any changes. Other team... — read more
..Remember when the millennial's told you..
Do your best, always. Still, the reality is that the days of staying in one position for 20 years, earning steady raises, and feeling protected from RIF conversations are gone. For those who are hurting, it makes sense. You invested a lot of... — read more
How do the decide who's laid off?
So how do they decide who is laid off vs who stays? I was laid off a couple of years ago (and then came back to a different role, lower pay grade) and there were 2 of us laid off from our team of 5 - I was 48, she was in her 50's; I'd been with the... — read more
Spill the beans
What are things you want everyone to know about this crazy company? We need a union & this wouldn’t be happening. 7 from my team (including myself) were laid off yesterday. Lame Teams meeting, call muted, read from a script, no emotion, on/off in 7... — read more
FACTS not Fiction
For anyone that thinks you aren’t replaceable, ponder this: How many employees does UHC/Optum ‘really’ need to run business for jobs that can’t be automated or OGS to complete? C&S (Community & State) and a few E&I (only if US employees are... — read more
Jobs Posted Are Bogus/Faux
Majority of UHC/Optum job postings are bogus/faux. They are posted to suffice investors & shareholders that business is booming. Employees know differently. Stock has taken a hit & the scramble continues. Mass layoffs are desperate attempt to save... — read more

Any insight on which depts/teams on the upcoming lists? There are 4 more layoff dates - along with individual layoffs thru Q4 2026. Anyone have the list they can share?
Individual layoffs coming - Expect the Unexpected!!
GL31 here - Execs will conduct individual layoffs throughout the year. This will be in addition to group layoffs of misc teams. In cases where there’s only 1 individual from a team being RIFd, this will be a 1/1 call w direct leader. Meeting w... — read more
The Latest Twist
Today and subsequent lays offs…. You will be offered a job, more than likely with reduced pay. IF you opt to not take offered job, Optum will not pay you your severance. Is this even ethical? Most households cannot survive if someone’s salary is much... — read more

Survived the layoffs today
I can’t say I’m happy about it, just relieved I still have a job. Two people on my team were let go.
HDP layoff
Are lay offs happening in HDP?

It seems like a smaller one for some reason, but I could be wrong.
Optum Insight product
Anyone from Optum insight product? My position was just eliminated as well as my whole teams.
04/30 Layoff Cycle Question
Will Optum Advisory be impacted by the 04/30 layoff cycle? Seems like we have dodged many cycles with minimal impact as we are most of the time pure profit, except people who are on the bench, so they are typically the ones cut if OA does have... — read more
