Thread regarding Optum layoffs

As someone who works in comms, I can assure you next to none of your submitted questions make it to a town hall. We have them there as an illusion of inclusivity.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

@cz it was UHG CFO Wayne DeVeydt who was on stage and not the Optum CFO. Not that I blame you for not really paying attention.

@cz you a bot? AI? or just r*tarded? That is NOT the UHG CFO, id--t

@OP Terribly bad form for CFO Ben Eklo to overshare family toil, especially when he and his families names can be searched on the internet.

He lacks the better part of discretion.

Try sharing how the CXOs plan to right-size their compensation to save jobs and take lessons in org dev to reduce impacting the US economy in the future.

It’s weird when C levels tell thousands of complete strangers about their families. Even stranger when they show pics of their families to thousands of strangers in town halls. They’re clearly just doing it to feed their own egos.

I don’t give a cr-p about him or family, or any aspect of his personal life. It isn’t part of my job description.

This piece of sh-t, pure evil, run by corporate greedy demons, is literally the worst place on the planet to work!
It hasn’t been an American company for may years, it’s now an Indian company! I say good riddance, fu-k UHG/Optum, leave the US completely and they can all burn in he-l! The only people they care less about than their employees are their sick and dying customers who paid their ridiculous premiums to be denied as they lay sick and dying!
No wonder theses greedy demons get shot in the street!

Asked my manager about compensation totals for next year with the 401k match lowering… she pretended like she never saw or read the email… I think next year will be worse than this one…

@aa It was like some weird billionaire narcissistic emotional pron. What was the point? It went on and on and he was the only one huffing his own fumes. People say executive leadership is out of touch. They are so lost in their own imagined self righteous prosperity moral derivatives it is breath-taking to see.

Sadly he was exactly what the stereotype suggested he would be. Impossibly sad and out of touch, what an incredible je-k about the way he described his brother.

His problem is that the bootstraps have not only cut off all circulation to his feet but snipped off a few toes. This is the kind of person that has zero empathy and has the gall to say that "he made it" and so should everyone else.

And all the BS about empathy while these men know exactly how many thousands of people will be laid off next week and in January.

What a terribly tonedeaf meeting over all. Short this stock!

Even Candyman is wondering, how to beat this…

@a4 I hope they pick me so I don’t have to quit. If not I’m still quitting…

@a4 that's a ridiculously paranoid way to think. they aren't using "click bait" to decide who they cut. that would be better than what they're actually doing. asking OI managers to offer up a couple people of their own choosing.

Mom: Sorry little one, your brother is more of a man than you will ever be. Please go away and do not bring your evil lifeless soul in this house again. Aww cheer up little camper, we have a place for you here at Optum, where we f&ck over our employees daily.

Yeah nobody in their right mind thought they’d actually answer that question. Also would never actually submit something like that in a company system for Q&A or an employee survey. It doesn’t make for a long career here.

@a2 Don't be naive......The "submit questions" link is really used to ID who to put on the next RIF list

I think his mom is kind of a hero for kicking him out

and to have put in the invite "We'll also have time for Q&A, so bring your questions or submit them here now." (was a hyperlink). BS
ZERO questions were answered and on my end, there were no questions that populated the Q&A window either.

LOOK AT ME NOW MOM, I'M TEARING FAMILIES APART AND MAKING PEOPLE HOMELESS, BET YOU WISH YOU TREATED ME MORE LIKE MY BROTHER
