Were the layoffs done 1 on 1 or were they over a big meeting?

Does being put on a CAP usually result in termination? My manager said I was in the initial stages but it doesn’t feel like it. I was given an end date for the plan and my manager basically said “if we make it that far”

Those who were laid off, have you had any luck finding new jobs in other companies?

Hi I was let go 8/24/23. Has anyone received their severance money. I’ve only received the purchased PTO so far today.

Tired of the crazy metrics, just fire us already, it would be easier

Are they quiet firing us? Metrics are super strict now, they basically don’t want us to use breaks or the bathroom—we aren’t supposed to use any aux/phone modes. Anyone else experiencing this?

They’re cracking down on us with metrics, basically don’t want us to use the bathroom even though we get no calls half the time. Layoff? I’ve been trying to get another job or get out of here for months

Anyone know how much of a pay cut all the big wigs took? Oh that’s right they didn’t. They lay off people with families and without notice. Other companies give a couple of months notice to give people a chance to find something new before they... — read more 

It’s so sad to see this going on. Seems like the trend is to keep the ones on payroll who have the lowest salaries on teams to keep things still going till some plans dissolve fully. Meanwhile it’ll continue to go downward as they retained the most... — read more 

Expected cut for end on 2023 Then 2024 and 2025

Payment side of E&I—past few days have been more strict and rigid metrics than we ever had before, out of nowhere. All of us are stressed. Is this going on anywhere else? Are they quiet firing us? Why don’t they just lay us off?

Was offered a job with UHG/Optum and now Im really second guessing leaving my current job. Its a WAH review position. Am I being carless taking it considering the layoffs Im looking at? I don't get why they are hiring if they are laying off?! Also is... — read more

Insider knowledge that C&S CEOs are being targeted. And likely other health plan leadership. It might not be this week or next, but it’s in the works.

I am just curious for those that got promoted how hard was it?
