Does anyone have reliable intel on the total number of UHG/Optum staff laid off between the October, November, December, and now February layoffs?

If anyone is in need of an opportunity, please check ARDX's website for Policy Consultant and Technology roles - ardx.net. Positions are remote.
I think M&R alone had 2000
Anywhere from 3000 to 4000 on Feb 6th. Not sure of total since 2019.
Wish we could get a solid number of all those laid off. UHC is notorious for lying, the whole industry including the feds know it. Nothing honest comes out of their mouth at the end of the day. If anyone knows of any wrongdoing by the company make an anonymous tip to medicare, the justice dept, attorney general, the state dept of insurance. There are employees who need your help getting these guys to justice.
theres no way 20k people were let go. you are delusional @dge+13rZTB1O
I was laid off in July/Aug 2019 wave but know there were at least 1-2 layoffs before the wave I was in - I think they started in the May/June 2019 timeframe and I am also hearing they are targeting a total wf reduction of 2-3% of total employees which is currently between 300,000 and 325,000 (depending on what source you use) so that means by the time they are done, a total of 6,000 to 9,750 will be laid off
I heard anywhere from 20,000-22,000 people were let go between October and the January layoffs.
2-3% company wide.
Layoffs didn't start in October they started June 1. I saw the original goal being 10,000 company wide by 1-1-2020 However it seems they just keep letting folks go and replacing them with cheaper less educated models.
