This is crazy 25% of my team on OT was wiped out. Even offshore employees were let go. I'm guessing they will be replaced by bottom of the barrel contractors.
How id everyone else's team doing?

Oh wow! Which dept in optum tech?
@a8 this is absolutely correct
Nothing in finance just yet.
Reminder most impacts aren't shared with the people affected until 11 a.m. CT.
@a6 AI hype is so overblown, so likely not. AI generally can’t replace a single persons job but it can possibly make 10 people 10% more efficient leading to 1 person no longer being needed.
OI. Crickets just yet.
Any of this related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) moving in and replacing some positions/tasks?
In OT, no impacts across our team
Optum tech?
For sake of clarity can people please post their high level org or at least division (Optum tech, clinical, OBH, OptumRX).
Sorry to hear this @OP you will bounce back at a better place.
What does OT even do?
we had a few people let go last year, but didn't lose anyone this time it seems. OT
