4/20 were the last layoffs that I know of with a last day date of 5/18. Does anybody know if this is the last round of layoffs or should we expect more in May 2023?
22+ years with them and on 4/6 Im told that would be my last working day. Seperation date will be 5/4. "Budget cuts", "Downsizing", "Job eliminations"... all while they continue buying up other companies to the tune of billions and billions of dollars.
@4bqr+1m0Lu4qQ What M&R department
I was just advised 4/6 that my last day will be 5/4 (position being eliminated in M&R) in my 11 years there Iv never seen layoffs to this amount and especially in the department I am in. I’m devastated but hope this helps others.
: @2rqw+1m0Lu4qQ- it’s good info. However this org is “notori@@s” to unethical business practices. They will do whatever it takes to make the bottom line looks great for 2022 proxy ti please shareholder/Board. This includes paying the fines and deal with out of compliance. Writing on the wall making exit plan should be everyone’s priority (except the top - job security with more RIF)

Yes, I heard more layoffs on 4/6 happening at Optum. Not sure how widespread it is though. It is no coincidence that the last round of layoffs had a separation date of 4/6 and today they are doing another phase. All while they bank billions. Tell me this company’s culture is healthy and I’ll sell you a bridge in San Francisco.
It was "known" to very few individuals, including the many managers who were let go.
This is not true. It was known to many people and also people are getting 1 month to find new job and also a good severance pay.
