Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Optum Insight Viva Engage Post

“This February, something big is coming. A moment that reminds us why coming together matters, and why our work has meaning far beyond the walls we walk through each day.

On Feb. 25 at 9:00 a.m. CT, we gather for our first Optum Insight Town Hall of 2026. Picture the feeling right before the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The lights lower. The music builds. Teams from around the world step forward with one mission, one goal and one shared purpose.

That’s us.

As one global team, we will come together to celebrate who we are and what we stand for. Trust. Discipline. Teamwork. The power of many moving with one shared purpose.

This year will demand focus, courage, and collaboration. This Town Hall is our rallying point. Our chance to reconnect. To look ahead. To feel the energy of what we can accomplish together.

Get ready. The spotlight is warming. The music is rising. And our story for 2026 is about to begin.”

The writing’s on the wall. That’s all, folks.

Why does everything now read like I am about to watch a documentary about corporate peacocks? Observe the executive male. Notice the plumage. He attempts a mating call: "100x mindset." Fascinating.

All along his professional journey the CEO has been a joker entertaining people on stage. I laugh at American companies hiring such people when so many competent people are in this country.

Congratulations -- y'all left standing get to pick up all the work of those who have disappeared. We expect the same output, so have some "courage" and work extra hours for no more pay. And on that topic, here is a lump of coal for a raise and, oh yeah, we cut another 1% off your total comp by reducing our 401k match. Rise up and take the torch!! LOL -- just go f-off already.

I think they used copilot to write that fine piece of fiction.

This is the general rundown.

OI CEO: I wanna see 100X to 42069X AI folks. I just had CoPilot write all my important financial reports for this month, and had CoPilot spend time with my family for me

CFO: I made partner before Hemsley did at HIS firm! Hey, mom, you proud of me finally!! See look at me mom, no tattoos and not overweight! Aren’t I a good little boy!

Rest of panel: nodding in oblivious stares or because they know it’s pointless to try and steer things right.
