Now that the yearly reviews and Peer reviews are over at Optum, management is being very sneaky and going to certain members on the team to ask if certain members are professional and interactive with clients and colleagues . What??! You’re asking this on 2 people who got 4’s and 5’s on their reviews and no issues or complaints ever.
Put it this way, If you’re not a s— up and you challenge or question anything EVER, you will have a target on your back! VP’s are coming into market next week, so guess they are gathering any gossip they can on people who don’t fit their mold in order to get them fired. Disgusting!

You can sing the company song all night long. Doesn't matter. There are clicks and buddy buddy system and nepotism. Doesn't matter how much "education" you might have or how often you work for free, or try really hard. They dont care. They never did. We're used and abused for share holder profits. That was the US. The boomers and other brain washed teammates cant wrap there head around reality because truth hurts. Few good men cinema—you (employees) cant handle the truth.
Absolutely- cliques and cronies. Working hard, doing extra, signing up, furthering your education, not abusing company time gets you nowhere unless you are in those very evident cliques who really do no more than anyone else, who will likely not be on the chopping block regardless of performance and seniority.
There’s no I or me. Just team work, hard work and doing what’s best for the corporation. Keep your nose to the grind stone, pound that pavement and work hard. It’s all about pipe lines, singing, and chanting as they escort your rear from the plantation. The slave owners are doing well, there new la bo and 4th mansion look lovely. Go team
It's not a lay off. Youre promoted to customer. There's some pdf forms and phone numbers to call. No thank you, escorted off premises and we'll mail you the cat mug and kid pics.
Think about water seeking its own level. Who would work for a corporation and stay there that profits off of the sick and infirm? Profits are unpaid wages. You make money off of sick people and the execs pay themselves 7 -8 figs off of insurance payments and tax dollars. Vile america
Did all the corporate cringe, did the singing, skits, and chanting and what happened? No loyality. They said we're family. What happened?
Honestly it’s just gone downhill, I feel bad for the members whose coverage will greatly be affected with Optum outsourcing jobs overseas, I feel bad for coworkers who have lost their jobs due to the greed of the CEO and leadership, I feel bad for the clients who depended on us.
But hey in the end there is KARMA and the old saying goes “You get what you pay for”. So while they are saving tons of money by outsourcing jobs they lost tons of GREAT talent and will continue to! I have honestly never worked for a company that allowed bullying, so much toxicity in the workplace, that throws away talent but decided to keep people with no knowledge and personalities and can’t keep even perform their actual duties, it’s always about who you know or s— up to which is horrible.
Seems like the only safe place to work at this company is in HR ... they seem to be very busy working with upper Management to manage all these ongoing large Layoffs!
You are right. Its all about the cliques. If they want you out they will construct a way to phase you out. Its dirty
Likely figuring out some last minute cuts. Apparently a large layoff is coming for optum in early march. Will see
You’re now promoted to customer
Congrats on the lay off. you’re now to customer.
Wow this just happened to me this week.Hr doesn't even send you a letter or give you a call
