The latest layoffs have convinced me that there's no future for me here. I'm now looking for something new, and I'll quit as soon as I find it.

Absolutely start looking now. I just switched positions and thought I was in a good spot. I was even told our positions are safe in January then subsequently was laid off in February. I had an opportunity from Humana when a recruiter had reached out to me but I turned it down in lieu of moving to a new team which I thought was safe. It’s taken me over two months to land another position at another company. Some of my colleagues still haven’t landed on their feet. Like the old saying goes “it’s easier to find a job when you have a job.” Unless you’re in the C-Suite, it’s eventually going to happen to you, especially if you are part of a company that was an acquisition. Move forward from this morally inept and corrupt company and never look back.
Thanks for letting us know...
I was in plenty of meetings with senior medical management insisting we data mine to find conditions patients are not treated for. Questions were asked but weak answers given. All us little people shut our pie holes and helped do the deed while whining. In Michigan there is plenty senior management pushing us to manipulate patients into dnr or hospice. Patients will say they want to live and senior management is saying “I heard your old sick a-s wants to die so now we are gonna pressure you into hospice”. Oh wait! UHG owns the hospice company too?! Wow what a coincidence. Lets just sign future patients up when a baby, make them work for a UHG subsidiary. Cause work related stress, lay them off and then provide “care management” to the grave. Knowing UHG they probably own a funeral company.
As someone who is in a company recently acquired by Optum, I see the writing on the wall. I am out as soon as humanly possible.
If you’re hanging in there thinking, “wow am I lucky to still have a job”, count your days. Consumer confidence isn’t going to rise after the congressional hearing and a massive layoff.
@hqe+1sb9NUip Witnessing an echo chamber. Sounds great when rehearsing with like egos. Some call it the Stuart Smalley Syndrome.
So so so so glad I left in January! Woke up that morning, looked at my bank balance, then said SC--W THIS and put in my immediate resignation. I loved the job but the people and the snitty little supervisors and fake management, no, no, no, no, no. Stay until you can leave don't let them win. Make sure you are in a good financial position or make them lay you off and pay your UC. Good luck!
who is “us trying to make it work” still!? LOL you didn’t get the memo? you realize you are going to get laid off too?
Great! Please leave. Your attitude is obviously a pain in the butt for us trying to make this work. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
exactly! productivity from thursday questioned. talk about being insensitive and oblivious to the current climate! The ship is sinking, and they still expect you to not skip a beat and keep your metrics looking good, smh so d-mb.
I'd bet HH goes in next cut. Either soon or same time the navi leader exits. They need to stop with the greater than thou attitudes and show some some support. Today they acted hateful to a degree. All worried about tat. Ffs worry about your job
The icing on the cake, is that the current "leadership" that are still here (if one can even refer to them as leaders,) are still touting "best place to work" and are completely tone-deaf that moral is beyond horrendous. Absolutely ran by Zero Point Zero emotional intelligence "leaders," who cannot see past their own egos.
me too. The climate has changed this week after the layoffs too, not good, no morale, no feeling of support from management. Also, probably will be easier to land a job right now versus later when we are all laid off on the next round!
I don’t think you’re alone in this. It’s hard to stay somewhere with zero job security when there are other options.
