Thank you for sharing the SAME EXACT POST in 5 different forums...
Just heard through the grapevine no more layoffs until January 2025. I don't believe it. How may "QUALITY" lies are you going to feed us?
I wanted to share a theory and get your thoughts on whether it makes sense. I’m a Business Analyst who was recently laid off on 10/17, and I had also been laid off back in March, but that layoff was later rescinded. After that, I was moved to a completely different team and organization under the reasoning that there was a “business need.” However, after joining the new team/org, I was repeatedly told that there was nothing for me to do and that they were “trying to find work” for myself and other BA’s who had been laid off and moved to this team. For months, we had no assignments or clear responsibilities.
Fast forward..Just had a “redeployment meeting and I was given a spreadsheet that listed open reqs within the clinical enterprise organization and I noticed that there were no BA positions listed, which confirms my suspicion that BAs are not typically utilized in the clinical space. This seems to support my theory that me and a couple of other BA’s (also, rescinded and laid off again) were used as placeholders to help a director (that I was reporting to after offer rescind) meet her quota of direct reports at the director level.
It seems likely that director knew she would be posting requisitions in a few months. In a recent org meeting, they shared that most of those requisitions had now been filled, with only a few remaining open. Now that the new hires are in place, the director has probably met the direct reports quota required of her. This could explain why we were let go and no longer needed to fill those vacancies temporarily.
Given the time it takes for requisitions to be approved and roles to be filled, it feels like we were just “there” until their hiring goals were met. This allowed them to avoid questions from HR about being a director with only 5-6 direct reports(which is how many direct reports they had prior to us joining her team)
This is Optum y’all, deception, poor resource management, manipulative, and misusing employees! I am disgusted.
Please stop using this site as a free speech platform for your political rants... (Must be from MN)
I am going to second the previous poster, If you want to keep jobs in the US, then you know who to vote for.

Just imagine if a party make more cuts to private insurance and Medicare reimbursement? Vote accordingly. This is your chance
Physician laid off. Had no idea it was coming.
Denials Management (legacy Change Healthcare). Analysts and nurses
3 Advanced Practice Clinicians from Optum AZ. No one offered any internal positions and only got the 90 days pay required per the contract without regard to how long they have been loyal to Optum.
Witty is acting as a psychopath, only believes the stories that his buzzboys tell him, rather than facing the crude reality of the hard work that goes into maintaining his lavish lifestyle, private jets, apartments in London, New York and perhaps anywhere he-l is. At the cost of hard working and experienced people, to save few bucks onshore. May the sh-t show commence and someone saves the "Sir" soul from going to he-l.
OptumCare - Software Engineer. Right after my 15 year anniversary too...
2 people in Insights contract mgmt, don't know for sure who the other one is except that both of us are very long time employees 20-25 yrs+

Optum Growth & Retention. Notified at 2pm, almost at the end of my shift
Seeing a lot of BA positions being posted in India! That is actually hilarious. Goodluck Optum! They’re gonna need it. A Sinking ship !
Supervisor Med Clin Ops, Optum Insight
I knew this was coming when I was told they need my skill set and don’t know what to do with me. This place is a joke and has been nothing short of a hostile work environment working in the CPU.
Optum Govt(OGS) OMMS project, soon to merge with Payer. MANY layoffs today with last day being Nov 1st. Directors, BAs, BSAs, PO's, etc.
OI Operations Revenue Services. Do we know how many total were laid off?
Optum Insight provider sales org got chopped. VPs, Client Execs, and Solution Sales Execs all cut. Likely over 100 people total. But they’re revamping the whole sales org with (far fewer) new jobs we can all apply for, which will likely consist of more work for worse compensation… seems to be the way it goes here.
Optum Insight Payment integrity
2 management
6 analysts
LCRA
Wow, that is a lot of small holes in the ship, but they must not realize, small holes eventually sink the ship when they do not leave enough competent people to plug them. So sorry about everyone impacted by the decisions!!!
Aren't you all so happy that Witty received a 23.5 million dollar bonus?
Anyone in home infusion affected?
Optum home infusion:
A few in Intake leadership
2 or 3 branch managers
Supply chain leadership
A few nurse navigators
Who else?
Who are the two VPs?
Thanks Phil McKoy- you’re a piece of sh-t!
I do indeed know the names, and know them personally however it's inappropriate to post their names
Do you know the names of those optum tech VPs ?
This one seems really big and wide. You could just feel it coming, what a horrible place.
2 VP's in OptumTech gone
Urgent visit extenders are a part of Landmark Health
For the Urgent visit extenders, is that MedExpress or a different business unit?
Optum Insight MPP support, most of the systems administrators for infrastructure were just let go
11 people in Optum Enterprise Issue Management affected. About half of the team.
My navihealth sr director was laid off
Just got the call. Six Regional Account Managers (sales) for MS (Multiple Sclerosis) / Neurolgy across the US let go. Neurolgy is no longer profitable and so they got rid of the sales department. They had already moved inside sales to another therapy a few months back.
So sorry for those impacted and grateful you are taking the time to let the rest of us anxious strangers know what is going on. This is sadly our only reliable source of information…. I hope you land in a much better position where you feel valued, safe, and supported!
