Thread regarding Optum layoffs

OI onshore cuts today

Not poppycock or rumor. Asked this morning for multiple names from my 10 person onshore team. Of course they said we cant take anyone from our 35 person offshore team. OI is not meeting IOI, doesn't matter that my products are. This Jenga tower is coming down after this, already cut to the core and now this. No offense to my offshore teammates, they develop well, but dont know the business. But come on, they could absorb this offshore and be fine. Going to be losing multiple 20 plus year people that know this industry/space for ppl that have 2 years tops.

@j9 I’m old enough to remember executives like Norman Wright, Eric Murphy, and John Prince.

Now we get chuds like SD.

Maybe it’s time to take the keys away from grampa CEO.

That little sh!t extended to OI town hall to all of Optum Tech because he needs a bigger audience to feed his ego. He’s pathetic and deep down he knows it.

@aq Bro’s brain is smooooth.

For all the AI glazing he does, has he not read that every AI firm spends 8 dollars for every 1 dollar they make?

Does he want a bunch of sh-t code that a dramatically reduced staff has to sift through?

Does he want immense tech debt built by a probabilistic word guessing machine?

This AI sh-t doesn’t replicate professionals.

But I definitely think it could replicate him.

@ac Yep this is SD making these plans. They actually gave me a list of names from on hight that they feel are not utilizing AI. The term was they are not AI builders. I had to go back to my leadership and explain why everyone is not an 'AI Builder' and was told to suggest replacement names.

Multiple names on a 10 person team sounds awfully close to 35%...
