Hi Everyone, Does anyone know the total amount of people impacted by the layoffs yesterday? Leadership is not giving a clear answer. I am pretty new to the company so I have not seen this before.

“You are Awesome!” “United We Stand!” “Health Equity!” “We Care!” “Couldn’t do it without you!” “Words cant describe the appreciation!” You are fired! come again please!

Has anyone heard of any Change Health staff RIF’d or is it just UHC and Optum? I’ve heard that talent recruiters, M&R, and Optum RX but what about Change?

Can someone explain in simple terms why executives keep saying the reason for profit loss or RIFS is because of Medicare? What does that really mean? Is UHC losing contracts or CMS revenue? I keep hearing the reason for trimming is “due to Medicare”... — read more 

Anyone know when in September they’re laying people off? Is it going to be second round laying people off in each department again?

I feel that the previous ones were at least a little better communicated? Or am I wrong?

Had a meeting with my manager and they alluded that there would be different standards/metrics/changes for us in Sept but not what. Anyone heard anything? For call work

The company will never send a communication to anyone. They will only share the names of the people who were laid off from your immediate team and it will only happen verbally. I know this because that is how the previous layoffs were communicated... — read more 

Are the rest of us safe?

Good luck tomorrow, everybody.

I hear a lot of conflicting opinions.

Any layoffs in the Value based reimbursement (VBR) team?

Anyone heard anything on layoffs for the EDI employees?

It is clear that the leadership is doing everything to keep the layoffs away from the public eye, and that they actually may be succeeding in this. However, does this also help to keep the reputation of this place intact? My opinion is no, because... — read more

Anyone hear anything about layoffs in the Optum At Home department?

Does anyone know if those laid off will receive 2 months pay per the WARN act? My HR documentstated nothing about it. (Washington state former employee here asking )

Any guess as to how they choose who to layoff when they pick a couple or even one person out of an entire team?

Yesterday multiple areas impacted, E&I, Spec. Benefits, network strategy, C&S and now today others. This new CEO is a hatchet man. He's ruined UHG. 😔

I see a lot of previous posts on layoffs in E&I, will there be any in E&I specialty benefits (billing/payment)?

Who else was laid off from C&S today?
