Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Roll call

Who else can't even think about sleeping and is here refreshing this page even if realistically knowing there'll be no actual new info before tomorrow? I just can't stop thinking about what's coming and catastrophizing, and something tells me that I'm not the only one.

Me. I have my weekly 1:1 as my first meeting this morning. I have a bad feeling. Why would my boss keep that knowing today is a RIF? Can’t sleep.

I missed work yesterday I was so stressed out, might as well use my PTO, I read some employees already got their invite so I’m logging on to see if I got any emails and thankfully I haven’t received any invites other than my normal meetings tomorrow. But I also heard some have gotten an invite an hour and up to 5 min before the meeting so I’m just holding my breath until 10:30 today.

Came here to check in as well. I don’t think my area will be impacted but it definitely has me stressed. I’ve been applying elsewhere for 4 months with only a few interviews where I made it to the final rounds. It’s tough out there.
