Thread regarding Optum layoffs

CEO of Care Transitions resigns

Harrison First, CEO of H&C Care Transitions (former naviHealth) announced his resignation today. Part of me thinks it was heroic and based on personal values ? Like he was fed up with these horrible layoffs and doesn't want to be part of the organization that bought up Navi to crash it?? It was working before Optum came along. Other part of me thinks they were going to demote him or force him to resign. Insanity!

I've always been amazed at the number of leadership positions yet they still can't plan a successful trip to the bathroom! Substandard equipment, metrics that have inverse relationships, NPS vs. program evaluation, etc.

You can rearrange the furniture on the Titantic but the outcome remains the same.

I believe it was forced resignation since both are leaving. Also, if it was personal values, I doubt he'd stay until summer for transition.

Unfortunately this is a “repeatable” model used by this org to achieve easy $. Acquired - RIFs- instant artificial gains on share values and big bonuses/options for execs. No accountability. It’s instant gratification not sustainable.
So sorry to see good people left.

I believe based on personal values, Harrison does not need to work with the amount of money in his family name…I think he was doing this because he believed in the cause..

No surprise here. Restructuring will toss out more of the managers and directors - without doubt. Time to stop using a fine tooth comb on everyone's work . That may be partly how everyone got into this mess! Ever wonder ?

Optum probably didn't even bother to inform Harrison Frist of who they would be laying off from under him. Who were these Optum decision makers? Seems like no one in the old navi leadership structure even saw it coming or had any say in what could work to meet the corporate need to downsize the leadership.
