I was so worried in the past several weeks, but now that the day is here I'm surprisingly calm. If my name is on the list, I'll survive. It might not be easy at first, but I'll recover. If nothing else, not being a part of this mess of a company is going to do wonders for my mental health.
In any case, good luck all!
I just looked up the Optum360 severance policy on the HUB. The number of weeks pay you get is dependent on your years of completed service and your pay grade at the time of involuntary termination.
Example: Let’s says you were there for 8 years. If you are pay grade 20-26/SBA/SBI 84-86 you get 8 weeks severance. Pay grades 27-28/87-88 get 10 weeks severance. Grades 29 and up/89 and up/SSL/M1-4/SLT/ELT you get 16 weeks. Maximum severance for anyone is 26 weeks.
They specifically state that they can amend or terminate the program at any time and for any reason.
There was no severance. No card, no goodbye. Just security escorting folks out. Usa, usa
@4jqb+13nHfn9h - Don't expect a lot from the severance package. It's roughly 1 week of base pay for each year of service. The maximum number of weeks you can get is 26 weeks.
I will wait for them to decide when it's time for me to go. After 20+ years with the company, you better believe I'm going to collect the severance package they OWE me. I have no control over this, so until it's my time, I will continue to do my job.

or maybe just stop reading this website because it obviously works you up. Just do your job and forget about it. If you dont like it start updating your resume.
I was surprisingly calm the day I handed in my resignation. The cloak and dagger and toxicity had been going on for months. Whether you choose to set yourself free or Optum sets you free - you are now able to take charge of your life again. The feeling is empowering.
I have a meeting on my calendar. So I made taking PTO then signing back I never at the end of the day for the meeting
I was laid off on 12/4. Received a random call from my boss’s boss who has never called me before.
When layoffs happened on 12/04/2019? Peter Ambrose called an impromptu all staff meeting. Myself and my co-workers were surprised. I asked my manager if this meeting was about layoffs? She told me to “ allow Peter to present his message to staff...” So- pretty sure my boss knew what was UP.
In our division I was instructed b HR to cold call with no meeting sent... I had to do it between 9am and 9:45 AM
If you are being laid off today or being notified of layoffs in your department, you should already have a meeting on your calendar.
