UnitedHealth Care, Optum and other brands under UHG are planning major layoffs to replace US staff in every position possible in foreign countries such as India. Thousands of targets have been named as the offshore staff are already hired to replace them as soon as they are trained. They are hiring Management in Ireland (to avoid US taxes) to act as enforcers, bullying long time competent Management to leave in droves, many citing ethical and moral conflicts. Many will be terminated before bonuses are paid. Most through "Optum Global" that is a leech and stain on UHG with extreme double standards compared to US based employees. There is so much more to this story, basically a conspiracy against US workers, patients, providers and clients that have trusted UHG. Medical records and patient info is sent offshore by UHG every single day by the thousands or even millions. Those records contain everything about individuals including name, SS#, address, phone, diagnosis, treatmentals.. everything, to foreign workers in unsecure locations, mainly their family homes as Optum Global allows them to work from home without safeguards. Time for whistle blowers to standup and report to applicable media, agencies and politicians (that are not controlled by UHG lobbying money). This may be the last chance you get before you lose your jobs.. Do your "Life's Best Work", whistle blow.

Call for UHC US based employees to voluntarily resign before layoffs was held Monday, February 17th.
Trump should do something about this offshore hiring it's hurting Americans and when companies are like we have jobs that we can't fill because we don't have candidates it's because the candidates are from offshore not Americans. This will get worst before it gets better. Corruption is stemming deeper than corporate "America" it goes deep as the system in place.
When advocate is mentioned in the comments, what kind of advocate,.like a.provider relations advocate?? I'm a PRA, so that's why I'm asking.
The world is ending. Good luck all.
I would be nervous if I was and advocate the PRC team is doing their job and a great job. I get complaints from the providers daily and I reach out to the advocate first if I get a d-mb response I send it to PRC make sure they know the account has an advocate. Some of the PRC people are hourly and make half of what the advocates are paid. It would not surprise me if PRC becomes the advocate team.
I see UHG is up to their old ways. No escaping other than to just leave on your own and secure a job elsewhere. Time to get proactive about careers. Don't just sit and wait for the ax to drop. Leave now while you have a chance. if you have the chance, don't even give them a 2-week warning. Quit on the spot. They really don't care either way. Get that job offer elsewhere; RUN and don't look back. Best of luck to us all.
I just hope they layoff the b-m workers
I will start tomorrow.
Um everyone knows been going on for years. Government in on the game. Just cash them checks while you can. Cogs in the machines have no leverage so why tattoo yourself as trouble and be blacklisted everywhere you go. Huge risk for zero upside. That stuff takes years and is an all in bet with bad odds
This is happening everywhere. Just click the link to every health plans on this layoff board. Nothing we can do. Its happening everywhere.
