Thread regarding UnitedHealth Group Inc. layoffs

@1vs

Anything you invent is owned by UHG/Optum, Clown. Go ahead and invent something for them. Enjoy the lay off with everyone else as they make millions of your idea.

Anyone joining a gigantic company with IP provisions in their employment agreement to “Invent Something” is almost child-like in their buffoonery.

What departments and any idea what states?

@ab the Department does not matter. It has to do with being within 30 miles or 30 minutes from the MN or DC office. A colleague of mine is in the list and she is the only one from her entire department. My team has 10% that has to go in. They say it is about collaboration but it is not. The rest of my team is remote so I will go in and sit on teams calls.

This was brought to our team as starting near the offices that are required to be staffed to keep them open, for example MN since it’s a home office and DC an expensive empty office. Is this happening near other offices? It was supposedly a real estate issue, but I fear it will impact all wfh ee’s eventually!

@fd wasn't just Optum, i a teammate was notified last week and we're UHC.

another huge wave of Optum employees received notice that they have to come in four days a week, so pretty much full-time on Monday. It starts 10/20. Doesn’t even matter if you were hired as a full-time telecommuter. Go check out the Optum page.

Keep in mind this is the first phase. They will roll this out to any UHG/Optum office. My worry is in the last “phase” they will let people go if they are too far away from an office

It's a de facto layoff.

If you didn’t get this weeks memo you most likely won’t be required to come back. Everyone less than 30 minutes away from the office are required back 4 days a week starting 10/20. Performance, tenure, GL, sitting on international calls the majority of the are not factored in. It’s complete BS. They are trying to get people to quit on their own.

May I ask what segment of UHC you are in? Claims, customer service, etc..??
