If you are impacted by today’s layoff please post here to help consolidate information. Please post your division (Optum Tech, Optum Insight, OptumRX, etc) if you feel comfortable, how many people in your team. If you want to go deeper like M&R, E&I, etc that helps.
Don’t forget, you will get through this, you will bounce back. This place is toxic and I hope we all can find some peace.

Optumserve had a few layoffs in IT . And more to come in Feb and March
@OP at least 2 people from OptumServe finance in the past week that I am aware of,
@cg yep
@cc MD should be next.
@cj what area?
Well...lost half of my teammates. Not sure how we continue to work. I guess we are probably in the next layoff wave. Sorry for everyone impacted today.
@ce The National Team was located in many locations throughout the states. They were the experts for the Playbook annual assessments.
@OP Anyone from the Practice Health & Safety teams affected? RN Assessors? I heard the entire PHS National Team was part of the cut.
@ab who, what, where....
@bp From WM TX?
@c9 G25-G27 Operations staff. Non clinical.
At least 6 from Creative Partners (UHG, UHC, Optum). Been through too many layoffs to count over 15 years. All I can say now -- I'm free from the constant fear of being let go.
@OP I was laid off from the Optum Insight umbrella a few years ago. A coworker trained our replacements, and was promised he would keep his position if he trained them. I'll I can hope is he will be on Mondays term list. His manager was laid off today. I would more than likely still be employed is this snake and "team" member didn't sell us out for his own personal gain.
@bm What roles at AbleTo were impacted?
@c6 do you know what specific roles?
@ba oh gosh! I got the same line in my conversation. It felt so scripted that I kind of zoned out after that. Best of luck to you and everyone impacted today.
@c5 Who was your supervisor?
OptumRx operations 60+ people across various teams. Could be hundreds but I can only verify 60ish.
Me and at least 5 others that I am aware of impacted under Whole Health Solutions-Tim Spilker's org under Jessica Harris.
@aj yes it says you can’t sue them but that’s bullsh-t. It’s not like their PR has been good lately. This is a big mistake. Optum Behavioral Health, my whole team is gone February 6. No warning
@bj yes, I am senior Provider Relations Advocate in Florida. My whole team including my manager got the news that our positions are terminated this morning. Just in time for no bonus.
@c0 what teams / departments from WellMed Texas were impacted today?
@c0 what department/market?
@b5 yes WM Texas was affected
How many from Optum Insight today ?
Any from Finance Optum RX?
Laid off today from Provider Operations
@bk Just heard about a few under Heather Looks org.
@bp under which leader?
A bunch of supervisors in E&I got let go
Keep the comments coming for orgs impacted. https://x.com/MedicalQuack is helping to spread the message.
A few in consumer experience (Rita Khan's org).
@aq we each got 15 minute calls. Once we were dismissed, our remaining team had a meeting to discuss that we were dismissed.
5 people from Benefit config and 14 ppl from pricing today 😩
@bk depending who you ask 20-25%
AbleTo/OBC. I think there were at least 500 of us that were impacted. This su-ks.
Optum health solutions and Optum health solutions tech seems to be getting hit hard, have heard of several layoffs under Steve wrestling’s org and Tim spilkers
Any update from Optum Behavioral Care? Refresh or AbleTo acquisitions?
@bd what is E&I appeals?
