Thread regarding Optum layoffs

This just demonstrates the typical short-term thinking of UHG. They’re SELF-INSURED, reducing the infection rate of their employees is in their best interest and what’s best for employees.

@1zpo+1434d8Ld - Yes it was reversed only after extreme backlash, and articles in papers like the Washington Post. You personally may have not disclosed your medical background, or provided doctor’s notes, but others 100% have felt pressured to do so. Although illegal, depending on your personality, you may abide, and reveal things about yourself, that will later be used against you! I’m glad this wasn’t you personally, but what about the people, who were pressured?

1) yes, you can read article without subscription.
2) sure it was reversed.. but why did it take an article that blasts them to reverse the decision and care about their “human capital”. Greedy greedy people

Can’t read the article without paying for a subscription, no thanks

While asking everyone to come in under the circumstances was terrible, they were not requiring doctors notes for those who identified as high risk. That part is not correct. Some managers may have done this on their own.

I personally self identified as high risk and did not disclose my condition. I was not asked either. I was told to do it x amount of time and then we would re-evaluate.

This was also reversed and they are no longer making all come to the office. They are now allowing WFH for all who can - there have been several articles.
