There were layoffs yesterday. I know because a few people close to me organizationally were let go. I am unwilling to go into more details because I don't want to out myself. I also cannot give more details about the scope of the layoffs outside of my very limited visibility. If you choose not to believe then so be it.
Gearing up for yet another round of layoffs in Q1 2024. Sr Mgt confirmed 1/17/24; a Manager I was to be offered a role with had to pull a requisition back due to layoff advisement at senior levels of their area. This is to be company wide. Layoffs every quarter consistently it feels like. UHC / Optum has been able to skirt the WARN act law, because it's state based not company based. So the mass layoffs of 22-25% of the company have to be by state to be out of compliance. Because they're not by state, UHC gets away with it. (That is directly from Department of Labor.) Additionally - watch out for mass hiring events to be conducted afterwards, just like they did in late Q3/early Q4. 3 Remote hiring events and Job Fairs were published on job search platforms, and sent out to many job seekers via email. Literally a punch in the face.
Re- organization? moving people around instead of getting them laid off?
Could be they just don’t care anymore. They were laid off, I’m out… Finally done with this site.
Fake news
I do not find the postings on this thread very informational.
Perhaps a bit more detail can be shared.
What org structure?
What were you told was the reason?
What area was affected - OI or?
What grade levels (if available)?
This may be just a tad more helpful to the rest of us.
Thank U
And yet these posts are always so vague and make sure to leave out as much information as possible...
What grade level?
What was your role?
What Business Unit(s)/Departments?
Yes, there have been some layoffs today
Not odd if those affected aren't getting severance/vesting.
What area of the business?
& before common review that is odd!
