Thread regarding Optum layoffs

this isnt news this is this guys personal blog website hes trying to promote

Executive leadership has mandated several directives for 2023 that we have seen play out all year. Did I forget/miss any?

• staffing reduction of approximately 25% across the entire organization.
• Layoffs in the US will occur throughout the year at rates to minimize/avoid state reporting mandates, mass notifications and media/news headlines.
• relationships with all US staffing companies except Wepro will be terminated or phased out as contracts end.
• US contractors sourced by staffing companies other than Wepro will not be renewed except in rare cases and for very short timeframes, no long term contracts.
• if a vacancy is approved, it must be filled by Wepro for temp contractors in India, Mexico, Philippines.
• no US hires or contractors unless absolutely required, exec review is required.
• staff will be randomly moved to short-staffed teams to work on backlogs, even if they are not properly qualified. Teams must adapt and approach it as a learning opportunity.
• like 2022, all teams will again be required to rate a set amount of employees at a 2 during annual reviews even if individuals do not deserve it. Those with a 2 rating will be added to a layoff group.
• During review period, the message about annual bonuses is they will reflect the "challenges" the company is dealing with. Mgmt will be provided talking points for staff so they feel the sacrificies are known and appreciated by management but necessary for the good of the company.
• Mgmt will have meetings during the review period on how to effectively communicate this to staff to minimize negative ratings during employee surveys.
• Expand return to office mandates which will increase employee attrition or termination options.
• Employees will see more costs and changes for benefits in 2024.

Class action. Can’t wait.

About time. They won’t release the numbers because they likely violated the WARN act. I was in management and told by legal more than once they’d rather risk a fine than pay for certain things.
