Thread regarding Optum layoffs

They all know and view this site. Post real info so senior leaders can see how poor their VP and DCO are. They need to hear the stories of bad behaviors, like a DCO who laughs inappropriately and never answers anything that isn’t scripted. A VP who brags about her picture being on dart boards because people hate her. These 2 ruined a successful model and staff have all had other leaders. It well said now how bad they are, heck my CSM talked so much sm--k about the DCO and VP at a CME event last weekend to external colleagues it was shocking, but felt good to hear.

@7eia+1uMhp1VJ Don’t tell leaders about this site. Maybe they know, but best not to ensure they do.

I’m in process of transition and plan on writing Heather Cianfrocco, CEO of Optum, about the poor leadership and asking her to come her and read all the different threads.

I’m on the IE business side, it’s sad to see opportunities wasted. Hopefully, it will be a learning opportunity for the future. I do agree and know other leaders read on here, it’s time to we the clinical leadership removed. There are too many concerns and failures to justify their continued roles as leaders. We can’t get the DCO to speak or engage meaningfully and the VP has a long track record of disappointing behaviors and failures and hasn’t learned from them it seems. It reflects poorly on C. Caspary and Hope to not act.

No confidence problem with VO and DCO.. ha! Try no trust, no respect, no way.

I’ve been here a long tine thru many a DCO and VO, all have strengths and weaknesses. These 2 are a clear set of the worst leaders. How did this happen .

Why waste resources on a centralized team. It’s a better fit to belong to each site. Plus there is a no confidence problem with the VP and DCO.

Do you think they’ll dissolve the program and return it to the states ? It makes the most sense at this point. Everything is going to in person, it’s too small to do much else.

Automatically remove 2 expensive jobs in a VP and DCO that aren’t needed. Especially as they have a poor track record.

The system doesn’t respond and self correct, if it did the current IESNP leaders would have been shown the door. Seriously, just interview anyone anonymously. This program has lacked a plan or thoughtful planning paying attention to what worked in the past since it was made its own program. Shame on Kim and Sue. They’ve cost jobs, profit, and patient care access to do many!!!!!!!!!!

Writing letters makes sense, if it’s not brought to attention it will never improve!

1. Wrote a letter to the CEO anonymously.
2. Wrote a letter to Jon Oliver.
3. Writing mg Congressman.
4. Formally filing concerns of lies and unanswered questions and other promises the DCO keeps ignoring(it’s all basic stuff to, she just doesn’t get things done)
5. Starting job search now even though my market is safe, lots of great competitors.
6. Getting printed copies of emails showing poor leadership.
7. I sounds like the DCO Sue works another job at a med spa , reporting that to HR as it might explain why she is so far behind

I called my federal congressman and get to speak to them about concerns on how Optum mismanaged IESNP impacting care and jobs. They also are assisting to speak with someone about Optum violating the WARN act. The VP is so clueless she brags about how people have her picture on people’s dart board like that’s a sign of strength vs the fact that you are not a worthy leader to steward the business or member lives if you create enemies vs foster relationships. IESNP burned to the ground it’s not because Kim or the amazingly clueless Sue are great leaders. The original markets survived despite them not because of them

What does this DCO do? When we had a real DCO they were present and actually guided. The women just parrots talking points and never follows up on things. Literally months of the same question as she acts like it’s news to her. She’s also lied to several people, even our CSM alluded to this last month. Should we start writing anonymous letters with the concerns of pi-s poor leadership to whoever is the leader above home and community?

This whole 18 months has been nothing but an unprofessional and unprepared joke, ever since we switched to these new leaders. The only thing I think that held it together was the CSMs. Mine no longer defends or tries to deflect for the not listening or lack of transparency though he usually makes stuff about himself. Most messy and pathetic leaders I’ve ever encountered by far.

They talked a lot saying nothing new, we all knew. If anything when they speak it just makes it worse as the speak in such political non speak. The VP tried today, up if this is her best, she should consider a new career option. The DCO no one respects, she can only say prepared Oneliners.

Basically, all but 4 states are done come January. They’ll tell us in smaller groups the planning.
Everyone keeps hoping that the teams would revert back to their local state leadership, too late for my program as it’s getting axed. We have the worse leaders we’ve ever experienced and IESNP bleed to death.
We heard from an external source that ISNP is also loosing markets. Sounds like a big competitor finally might be an employment option!

Everyone is done with the current IESNP leaders that works under them. No respect, no trust, no vision, no plan. The DCO is literally absent and when present can’t give you any clear answers or critical thinking, who hired her? They say the Colorado team she comes for like her socially but she’s always been flakey.
