Thread regarding Optum layoffs

No merit increase for 3 and below

Was anyone told that merit increases were not going to be given to 3's this year? Was told it was company wide. Is that true?

4-(meets expectations)/1.5%
Level 26 - Bonus? LOL.

I received a 5 and got a 1% raise. No one in my department got higher than a 2%. No 3s got any raise this year. Really sad.

The pool was 1% of overall salaries. Some departments chose not to give raises to the 3s, and instead share the $$ with the 4s and 5s. The 5s had to get 2% so they ate up a big chunk of the pool.

Enterprise Clinical Services didn’t give us our goals last year until our year-in-review was held this week, which is when we found out we didn’t exceed all the expectations we didn’t know we had.

Got 2% at 3/5. But I started the middle of last year. No bonus or other awards. Level 30.

It is all good. Applying elsewhere and am making up a much higher number as my total comp.

We didn’t get a raise. We didn’t get our goals until well into Q1 last year and were never told how they are measured. Our department’s leadership cannot seem to comprehend why this is an issue.

Just finished my review. I had a 4 and received a 0.5% increase. GL 26 so no RRP on top of that.

I got a 3, 0% merit increase, 50% RRP. Demoralizing after reviews 2020-2024 were all 5s, 2019 was a 4.

It's not a hard and fast rule.

I have 3s that got 0 across the board (low end of 3 rating).

I have 3s that got 0 merit and 60-80% RRP.

I have 3s that got small merit increases but ineligible for RRP.

Across the board 3s didn't got much.

If you are low in your salary grade or even under the minimum you may have gotten a raise with a 3. I do not think its common and depends on your team dept.

It was based on grade level. So everyone here who said they gave their team merit increases , it was a pittance and only some grades got a bonus, u can bet your manager got a bonus, someone needs to keep lying and coercing the minions to keep Steve rich.

Maybe just for your area.

I had 3’s and gave them merit and RRP. I also generally don’t toe the line with made up rules. I fight for my people when they deserve it.

The new low of an insulting .5% merit is the new standard.

Not true. Some departments didn’t get them and some did. Not sure how the decision was made to give raises to some and not others.
