Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Ageism is alive and well

Too many reports of people 55+ being let go in disproportionate numbers.

@b4 I mean don’t be mad that people job hopped to get more money while you were stagnant and stayed. That’s on you.

@dg it’s not to make you feel better. It’s there to protect the company. This is easily verifiable with a quick google search. Rage all you want, but that doesn’t change the explanation of those lists. Grow up.

@b4 I don’t care about a list they provide with ages of folks let go! How insulting. Like that list should make me feel better? Yeah right. That won’t stop a lawsuit if someone wants to pursue it.

@ca So I guess you were just bored today and decided to come roll with the peons. So heard there are no cases to be had in Utilization Review. Full time employees making 80000 and up with no reviews . You all got bigger problems than this site.

@OP stop with the age narrative. The reason the company provides a listing of age and role of those laid off is exactly to show it wasn’t age based. Now it’s possible that a lot of older employees are caught up bc they have been around longer and make more money. But there are also younger workers who benefited from job jumping that came in higher than those of us who have been here longer. Optum is cunning enough to spread the pain so that they avoid federal labor scrutiny.

Too many of them are NOT doing anything as well. They just login, spend 7 hours attending calls n asking questions, log off. Rinse+ repeat.

Would be helpful to hear actual GLs, roles, tenure and where these people are at on the pay scale of their GL.
