Thread regarding Optum layoffs

All this company cares about are iff shire employees! Do not be fooled, MN based company who destroy the lives of MN based employees who they always cut first!
F this company, and all the leadership!

@a5 where in OT? I haven’t heard of any OT teams affected this round, but OT has many silos.

@ay about a couple of weeks as it’s coming from a 3rd party company not your direct manager.
3rd party’s address will be on the label and it won’t be from Minnesota

The CHC folks aren’t the problem, don’t deflect.

@ab No words. How do those CHC people keep dodging these layoffs? Worthless bunch.

A box will show up at some point. Plop laptop in there and it goes to the vendor to be destroyed. They could care less about monitors and other accessories. Just have to get that hard drive back and destroy it

Any tumors about E&I? 11/13 makes more sense than 11/17 because they always do layoffs on Thursday’s…

@as Thanks for the info. How long did for them to get the box shipped to you? I'm thinking about quitting and moving. Ive read some people have waiting months?

@an SOC = SOCal?

@OP What division are you in?

@a8 I was cut a couple months ago
My director was hounded by his leadership to get confirmation from me that I'd return the laptop, any VPN authenticator tools (Plastic RSA Token-I didn't have one to begin with), laptop power supply/power cables and docking station.
The necessary box and very detailed illustrated (pictured) instructions on how to pack the laptop and accessories came with the box. A prepaid return label to affix to the outside of the box was also furnished with a letter that the repacking and returning to UPS needed to be completed by a certain time frame......I believe they give you 5-10 days to take it to a UPS shipping location near you.

@ag SOC is impacted, i was laid off

@OP Same here, in the BH division. Clinically inappropriate to cut off clients like this, not to mention how the mental health field is impacted.

Me too.

Anyone know what teams in Security was impacted?

@OP Me too!

@a6 who from ESRO? The paper pushers need cutting and any change people should not be in the team!

who in esro?

@ab probably should lay off the indians that didnt patch any systems then (and then made sh-t up that they did, and then had their bosses covering for them)

@a6 All those Change Healthcare folks are running security now.

@OP I was right there with you. Many years of service and this is how you get treated. I hope that everyone finds a better place to work where you will be appreciated and valued.

Same here!

@a7 how did you go about returning your laptop? Was it an easy process?

I was laid off last year. It's a terrible feeling... Keep looking for internal positions that open up while searching for outside positions. Eventually find a new job and also started a small side business with the unemployment gab window. Use this as an opportunity to pursue your passion. Things happen for a reason and God knows best.

ESRO was affected, cutting security makes a lot of sense.....

@a1 Not OP, but OT is being hit right now.

I am sorry to hear if this was not desired. If expected and desired, congrats

So sorry to hear, what org?

sorry to hear, best of luck.

What department?
