Earnings call is on the October 15. Thoughts that layoffs will happen following Thursday? I feel like that happened with one of the quarter earnings but don’t know if it’s a pattern to expect
Can leadership track employee surveys to you?
They want honest feedback, and it needs to be given, but then are mad when someone gives a low score and their bonuses are dinged. And I don’t want mine dinged, either. How much can your leader trace your survey to you?
Virtual Advanced Illness Program Cut
The entire VAIP has been cut as of 9/30/24. Will be “sunsetting” by end of the year. Another blindside move by UHC. I’m sure they are hoping to stay under the radar by cutting 1 day shy of qtr 4. There goes another 20 social workers and the... — read more
Provider Relations moving to call center Reps
UHC announced that all provider account managers would need to take call center training and work 4 hrs a day taking calls in addition to their advocate duties. I doubt they would be putting employees through a 8-10 week training for a temporary... — read more
Telesales
Sad day when UHC tells its agents to sell less and focus survey scores.
Level2 side
Any idea for layoffs to affect Level2 folks?
What are the severance packages being offered?
If you’ve got 5+ years at UHC, what are they providing these days for RIFs? I heard a week for each year but that was several years ago and not sure if it was accurate.
Offshoring ??
Is united health care also offshore jobs to the Philippines?? Or using carelon global solutions??
The Times wants to hear from patients and providers about medical practices affiliated with Optum, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group.

Moving Roles Internally
If someone moves between UHC/ Optum/ UHG corporate, do their perks continue to accrue (ie. 1 year before FMLA?) Or does it restart?
What do we talk about with these RIFs in August?
Optum just had massive layoffs, and will continue to have over time in the near future. Who’s going to be affected by August RIFs? Which is the target number of headcount reduction? If anybody knows any confirmed info or details, pls let the rest of... — read more
Brace Yourself for August
RIFs are scheduled to occur in August

Recalibration happening in M&R
Heard there was a meeting late last week regarding “recalibrating” 29’s in Medicare and retirement. I’m not on that business but that doesn’t sound good. Anyone know anything?
NOT Military Friendly
I was laid off and I’m VERY grateful!!! https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/unitedhealth-group
UHG list of priorities
Clients Why we exist as health care providers is beyond me. They should’ve come up with some other hustle that at least would not threaten the health and lives of other human beings.
It’s all about who you can buy..

Thirsty for money
We just got a raise like 2 weeks ago.. I specifically got a $2 raise. They said they evaluated us and they based our raise on other people/ companies with the same position.. Today we had a meeting that was announced a month ago. They said our jobs... — read more
Can we discuss job mkt?
I’ve been wanting to leave for a while now. I got to the point of hating every day at work. I’m tired, unhappy, anxious for reasons and for no reasons. Constant stress is taking its toll. On rare occasions when I have enough time to think straight, I... — read more
Get out
That company is a HORRIBLE place to work. You’ll never know how bad it is until you actually leave. The compliments you get from management, they’re not real. It’s just to gaslight you so you don’t see what’s really going on. Get out while you can... — read more
Feel free to sell off Change Healthcare, Witty.
None of us wanted to work for UHG and your policies opened up the vulnerability in the first place.

Hearing about it. Anyone know more?
Any Rumors for 7/11?

Can you apply internally to other roles after one year without letting your manager know?
Leftover PTO
Does anyone have first hand knowledge of what happens to leftover PTO if you voluntarily leave the company or if you get laid off? I know it may be state specific so will ask this for MN but feel free to share how other states handle this. I need to... — read more
Terrible culture
Culture is only words they put on walls and emails. Not a lived culture. Layoffs here are a real thing and constant. Senior leadership believes it’s something that has to be done all the time. Forget early out options, or early retirements it’s... — read more
Messed up on so many levels!
Heard this week about layoffs that happened a few days ago in C&S. This person was not the nicest but got caught up in major politics, but would never wish this BS for anyone. Here's the messed up part. She started applying for anything and... — read more
Any UMR info on layoffs happening this year?
Leadershlp telling us that they are working daily with "multiple large clients" but they admit the deal has not been signed yet. Just seems like red flag after red flag and a lot of smoke/mirror parlor tricks. Not sure if UMR has a lot of layoffs... — read more
2024-2026 expectations
We will see additional layoffs starting in late July and continuing monthly/quarterly until 2026. Expect 2025 layoffs to be even worse then 2024 due the Medicare, Pharma and Change costs. Financially our company is in a really bad spot. If you are... — read more
Landmark
Does anyone know anything about layoffs affecting landmark in July?
