For those that were RIF’d from Home and community and April, what was the title of the meeting that they sent to you? Every time random meeting notifications came across its nerve-racking

The meetings occur only on Thursdays and prior to noon (local time I believe). The title of the meeting varies based one the leader hosting it and the meeting will typically not be scheduled for more than 15 minutes. Call is heavily scripted to prevent any liability so typically the conversation is very short and factual.

My VP used my regularly scheduled Thursday 1:1 just bumped it to 8:30 from our standing 11:30 (Often moved this 1:1 to accommodate other things so it wasn't unusual). Didn't even let me finish saying "good morning" before he just dropped it, asked if I had questions, and hung up. Real nice for someone I'd worked with and for over several years.

Finally receiving my severance on June 7... supposedly.

“Business update” less than 5 minutes VP read from script. 11 years + with the company. First time meeting VP. Have not yet received severance or PTO.

Quick touch base. 14 years and not even HR on call. Took about 5 minutes. Bye Felicia. Glad to be gone from that cesspool of poor “leadership”.

Certainly, it's up to those affected or aware to decide if they want to share here. Many may have other pressing matters to attend to. Safe to assume some got the axe.

Call will be scheduled by top level secretary/ executive assistant of VP. So what happened? Was there another layoff. No one is saying anything. Pin drop silence.

No meeting for Optum RX Specialty folks in April. Manager called at 8:15. Call lasted about 1 minute and 3 minutes later a newly promoted VP sent paperwork to personal email.

Try to get immune to this. I am in the same boat and can’t control everything.

Quick touch base
Look for something to pop up first thing in the AM or the evening before. Will be a 5-15 minute call.
