This is specific to folks that fall under the rules in UHG for a parachute, which are 55 years old and 10 years of service. If someone in that category were offered one would you take it? The risk of taking it is you may never get another job that pays what you make now and the risk of not taking it is you'd likely be "on a list" for the next RIF, which by the way is ALWAYS coming ...

Without question, where do I sign up! Have been sitting here for three years begging to be laid off from this cr-p hole.
YES! Feet out, get out, go……
Yes. I would take it.
@e7 not a good offer. If you are here 10 years then you get 16 weeks severance for 29. So differential is only 4 weeks. 😂 I was hoping for 1 year. So I won't take 20 week offer.
@b6 The last OT package was about 7 years ago. I had one employee who qualified but didn't opt to take it. It was 2 weeks for every year and $7k lump sum for each insured member on his insurance. For him, it would be 34 weeks and 21k lump sum.
@bb Because you are then unemployed and uninsured knucklehead .
Yes, definitely.
What was the offer given last time? Anyone know?
This feels like an Insta click bait post! How stupid, who would turn that down without being stupid?
What's the package looked like before?
And yes
Yes, without hesitation!!!
100% yes!!! Show me the door!
Yes!! I have offered to go with the next round of layoffs. I hope Hemsley does off an ERP!
What is that?
I would take it and wouldn't think twice.
If you are offered you take it since that is a signal you are on the hit list. Either way you will be leaving soon
YES. I've even telegraphed that to my management should they be asked to prioritize their staff.. I asked to be put at the top. Like other commenter, the last 3 years of uncertainty has inspired me to build my side hustle.
Yes!
After 7 years of watching these frequent RIFs, I finally have other options available to me for financial stability.
But, as posted on another thread, HR is afraid to offer voluntary buyout to Optum Tech onshore FTEs for fear of losing too much institutional knowledge & AI skilled resources.
