Layoffs already took place on 9/18, with more planned in 4–6 weeks and again in January—confirmed by someone in HR. The company is steadily offshoring more and more jobs from the US to India, unless a contractual agreement requires the role to remain in the US. For those not billing their time to projects, it’s only a matter of time. This organization is going downhill fast, and it’s disheartening. I honestly wish the government would step in—this is a US healthcare company, yet they’re outsourcing our jobs offshore to people who have no real investment here.

It’s sad but a reality for all US workers, specially if you are not from Asia. If you want to be in tech best be independent, side hustle etc. US is losing a lot of knowledge that won’t be replaced. Start looking for something that can’t be easily offshored - sorry folks probably much lower wages. Guess that’s the future, no more middle class just the very rich and the poor.
To offshore - as the US middle class disappears so does your high paying jobs tied to offshoring- no more currency spread.
Are the layoffs only Optum or will UHC side see some or those that are just UHG?
Offshore tariffs for ANY US company prioritizing non-American/USA workers.
@OP do you know what departments will be impacted?
