Anyone aware of any rumors regarding upcoming layoffs within the corporate UHG business? I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to outsource roles but am trying to decide how anxious we should be.

I have been thinking about thi, this past week. We were told to push these digital registrations. If you didn’t push hard enough, you got a coaching, or at least my team did. Looking back, they used us to help get rid of us which really is no... — read more

Preface: I've been there, done that, as I was a casualty in the acquisition of WellCare HP by Centene. I'm doing this to help folks. From my LinkedIn post. The benefits are pretty skimpy if you really want 30K employees out of UHG. For starters, the... — read more 

Why do some leaders have approval to say if numbers are not achieved that the statement "additional employment actions" would not apply to their organization?

Is this even offered to those with a performance rating of 2? Or did you have to have at least a 3 for it to be offered to? If any 2s are receiving this, I would say that's a good deal as traditional severance doesn't apply if you get let go due to... — read more

What level leaders had knowledge of this prior to 2/17? I'm a leader and this was not shared with me until 2/17.

This is an unpopular opinion, but them giving people the option to walk away voluntarily does help certain people out. There are people that already wanted out or are close to retirement and this works. It also helps us out because the more people... — read more

What are others merit increase/RRP looking like for those around a GL 29? Was the merit % lower for higher grade levels?

So will this impact only those that got the email if they don't meet the quota or are they going to just start targeting everything and everyone?

Did anyone just finish listening to the first meeting? What were your thoughts? Seemed a bit sketchy to me... 🤔

People read the letter ...consult a lawyer...they plainly state this ...why you may ask. If you read this carefully they have worded it with no promises of a payout. It plainly states upon APPROVAL, to which this approval will come from the same... — read more
