Did anyone else’s team have to take a call avoidance attestation? I don’t remember having to do that before.
Layoff or Quit
I feel like my team could be laid off but I also don’t want to wait it out for too long. They’ve given us so many responsibilities that weren’t in the job listing (including those of the ones who have already been laid off) and haven’t increased the... — read more

Sparq
Can someone lay off the person who thought it was a great idea to have a SHAREPOINT website as our homepage? I thought this company made billions of dollars in revenue. They can’t even get a decent interface, lol.
I hope Elon Musk buys UHG

Major reorg
Major reorg happening under Denise Strait, since they’re unable to keep up with lawsuits and deadlines for BH accounts

Cross trained
My role is supposed to be cross trained soon but we already have enough responsibilities without these new ones. Anyone else experienced this—how did it go down? Does it stay long term? Can we still get laid off if they are cross training us?
I hope....
I don't have any so I can say this: I hope I see the day UHG gets blasted by the Feds, state governments and 100's of lawsuits where they must dish out billions of dollars and the stock price to drops to $35-40/share.
LAYOFF COMING SOON
It's that time again! If you're over 50 OR you don't kiss the bosses @55, you might want to dust off that resume! Personally, it needs to be leaked to CNBC..... they talk about other companies laying off, time to mention UHG! They did comment that... — read more
Where do I see myself in a year?
My manager asked me where I see myself in a year with the company during our 1:1. The last time I was asked this kind of question was my interview. Is this a sign that a layoff is coming?
Layoff would be a blessing at this point
After fifteen years, I'm praying to be laid off. If that isn't the best reflection of what UHG has turned into, I don't know what is.
I'm done with this place
I'm tired of not being good enough no matter how hard I work. I won't even bother trying anymore. I know this is not about my work, it's about managers playing favorites. I can't beat that and if I can't, then I'll stop trying. I'm looking for a new... — read more

Organization Structure- Re Alignment
They brought in someone from HR who specializes in "organization structure" to help us better align our skills with the right departments. Doesn't that sound like " The Bob's" from Office Space? I feel like this is a sign of layoffs.
2023 training-anyone else?
Anyone else have a meeting for 2023 training coming up? Is this a sign for a layoff or do they genuinely talk about the next year plans this early?
Optics - Tracking
Need to log in everything we do on a weekly basis, must add up to 40 hrs. The bullsh-t justification is this will provide leadership a better understanding of the work we do. No, the justification this is going to be used for layoffs. So, Sr... — read more
Responsibilities of other departments
Our department is going to be trained on some duties of a different department because of their shortage. Has this happened in other areas of the company?
Vaccine mandate - will it be gone soon?
So you think UHG realized how big of a mistake it was to mandate the vaccine? The CDC even admitted yesterday that a recent infection provided protection (probably even more than the vaccine). When will they stop treating the unvaccinated like 2nd... — read more

End of August Layoff
ALL companies under UHG (UHC, WellMed, Optum) will have layoffs.... budget cuts.
We are doing great
I don't understand why there's talk about layoffs when we're doing great. The stock is up by nearly 20 percent year-over-year and all I've read about tomorrow's expected earnings are good things. If we are hearing about layoffs when things are going... — read more
Will Automation Lead to Layoffs?
Automation has been talked about a lot for our department and the company as a whole. Will this lead to layoffs? I feel like that could cut my position for this reason.
There have to be better alternatives
