Thread regarding Optum layoffs

RIFed, had some interviews since, heard nothing

I was recently informed I am being let go. I’ve had some interviews since, but I’ve heard nothing back about any of them. How soon after interviews should I expect to be contacted if I got a job? Is the timeline quicker?

There’s a hidden ‘redeploy’ flag built into job postings, so they definitely know you’re on a shrinking timeline. Unfortunately it sounds more like you’re not one of the ‘must keep’ people they identify before they set up the guillotine.

You're getting interviews already? I applied for a bunch of internal positions, all of which I'm qualified for, and I'm getting nothing but rejections. And the clock ticks .... :(

Have you manager reach out to the recruiters if you’re seriously wanting to stay.
