Can someone tell me UHC policy on if you are placed on a CAP and voluntarily resign, are you eligible for rehire? Is this leadership way of pushing you out instead of laying you off?
Welcome to Optum’s version of Survivor! Anyone have any good media contacts to leverage?
Confirmed layoffs of tech resources who made $140K Annual pay. Quick way for Witty to boost stock
Everyone who gets laid off from Optum needs to contact their congress representatives. UHC is a major Medicare provider and congress needs to hear from all of us. There is power in numbers. This has to be stopped.
Since we’re being laid off, let’s post the department emails members can use to get their issues solved. No member should ever jump through hoops to get their coverage denied.
The benefits and severance portal is open from 4/26 - 9/30. Based on that it's easy to assume no layoffs after September. Or maybe they reopen it.
Whether today, tomorrow, next Thursday or the following, more LAYOFFS ARE COMING. It's just how this company operates. It's their normal course of business. The overall driving force of this company - increase shareholder value as a for profit healthcare acquisition company in business to make money for its leaders and shareholders.
The easiest way to meet financial targets is to cut expenses so they layoff human capital. They can easily offshore all the roles cheaper or hire new recruits cheaper (the hiring freeze isn't real anyway - look at LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter or whatever your favorite job recruitment site is) you will see.
Do your job, no more & no less - always be ready for what may come next.
Know your VALUE & VALUE yourself, you didn't get this job by accident.
Know your worth, take care of yourself & your family; that is what is important.
Prioritize yourself, do what you need to do for yourself & those important to you.
You can get a new another job but you can't be replaced. It's just a job.
It's not worth your health or sacrificing your well being or your family for it. Is it?
Not to start a rumor in TA but to react and confirm the comments made already. How can you be a recruiter and have no jobs you’re allowed to work on on or just a focus on redeployment? Once everyone we are working with has a spot, bye bye TA— thanks for helping to fix the mess. October is my bet. Too tired to think about it…
They are doing it in waves to avoid any media attention and potentially the WARN act. Just because your division was impacted once doesn’t mean it won’t be impacted again and again. I’ve watched departments in E&I get hit 3 times, and think more are coming. The organization views people as expendable and act as such.
The job market is tough, if you can’t get a new job stick it out but only do your job, not 4 times the work for the same pay. I know 25 year employee, 2 years from retirement, who always had reviews with 4’s and 5’s get cut. They didn’t target this individual, they simply didn’t care how much they did. Don’t ki-l yourself for the job.
What is "operations?" I'm sure there are dozens of departments across the organization that are called "operations."
Yes there will be layoffs in October. My department which is operations have been told October 31st will be our last day. Some people have been with the company for 15 plus years. We have been told to look for another job within the company. Why? Just to be laid off again?
To the poster that put the information about October, where is this information coming from, wish we had more information to know that this is a valid statement.
To the poster saying there will be October layoffs, will departments that experienced summer layoffs be hit again?
Next round of layoffs will be UHG wide and will happen in October.
Humana and others in the market are going through the same market conditions and restructuring
This showed up today in Beckers. No news of this being reported internally however, so this may be old news

humana.com/careers Humana is hiring!!!
I can't wait, bring it on
Seems likely TA will be impacted again based on volume reductions even in large markets. May not be for 8/24 but will happen again this year.
this layoff is very under reported. More than 1,000 people have lost their position with Optum clinics in San Antonio and Dallas markets, Wellmed, USMD, and other clinics that they own. They say they are divesting themselves from practices that are not profitable. Most are specialty care but Primary care has been hit hard as well. Profit before patient!
I heard sept.
Yea but it seems like a diff team gets hit every other month. If your team got impacted thus far, it’s fair to say you’re safe for now. I think they separated these layoffs for severance pay out reasons
Absolutely no rumbles at all in the Tech structure about 8/24. For each of the prior dates that materialized there was at least some chatter before hand.
What I HAVE heard is 2nd half of September.
The day after layoffs started this time, after a TWC HR conference led by him, I spoke with the lead attorney for the Employers’ Commissioner of Texas Workforce Commission about the mass layoffs. Another TWC department handles such matters directly, he said (and his crew was traveling to training the day of the layoffs, so he had not heard the news)—but also said a review of it probably already had been started. I encouraged him to have TWC investigate the layoffs—especially if WARN was not followed (or its exceptions do not apply).
