Retention bonus!? Do they really think that some retention bonus will keep people who have been wanting to leave for months and who have definitely decided to leave!? I don't believe it. The retention bonus can only keep a few, and not for long... — read more 

Who all got retention bonus offers today? Wondering if it's only in states where the governor is blocking mandates.

I think that in itself says plenty about UHG.

I’m a grade 28 and a 20+ year employee. My responsibilities have been magnified many times over the last 2 years. I am burned out. My husband and I just finally made the decision! I hand in my two weeks tomorrow! After the recent increase in... — read more 

I submitted my religious exemption OVER 3 weeks ago now. They said they would make a decision within a “few weeks”. I have ask several others regarding their exemptions and haven’t heard back. Do you think their attorneys are advising them that they... — read more 

What a joke! We don't truly care about people having good health care. How can a company whose CEO is from Ireland possibly know ANYTHING about health care insurance when they're health care is Government funded??? NOW all of the focus to try and... — read more 

Do you also think that this is one of the companies in which employees have the most unused PTO? Why? Because this is a company that maximally drains energy and squeezes people.

There is life after UHC. The world of Employee Benefits is extremely vast, find leadership in a new organization that places value in their employees and uplifts you when your down. So much this. This place is as toxic as it gets. If it gets to... — read more 

Anyone actually watch their vaccination propaganda video? All the people in the video appear to be liberal and were spewing off lies from their echo chamber. One guy said the jab doesn’t affect women’s menstrual cycles. Umm the NIH is currently... — read more 

People who are afraid of vaccinations should also be understood, but I am most afraid of the consequences of the long-term stress I encounter here on daily basis. I already have some psychosomatic problems because I am overwhelmed with work that I... — read more 

Happening last week and this week; a round of layoffs on the UHC side.

People are worried about their health and I wouldn't want to get into discussion whether anyone should take the vaccine or not. Everyone should consult their doctor about this. I'm just noticing that there is a lot of noise and that many are now... — read more 

New executive order that denies mandates. Not sure of all the details but may give cover for all the Texas employees and or give you some legal ammo to make things rough on UHG.

All this anti-vaxxer talk has become a Joke.

Does anyone in this company know the definition of Mandate? If you did YOU would NOT be complying with ANY of this! None of these “mandates” have been put into a bill, voted on and/or have become the law of this country. OUR 1st and 4th amendment... — read more 

Anyone know how quick and easy it is to get your work furniture and equipment sent back?

curious who else is not going to comply with the vax mandate... i know of a handful of coworkers who are going for exemptions and won't comply regardless if they get approved or not.

Has this company even considered how it will replace all the people which they gave up so easily? Maybe they think it will be easy? I doubt it will be. Admittedly, they may not plan to replace most employees at all. Terrible times. This company is... — read more 

Forcing the unvaccinated out the door isn’t good enough for them. They took a whole team of level 27 staff mostly nurses, dropped them to a level 26 and made them hourly instead of salaried.

Anyone know what they are looking for in the religious exemption letters and how strict HR will be with them?

I was cut last year and found a new home at Molina. I really like it and Molina likes to hire UHC folks who have been let go. I only share because I have finally found a nontoxic team, who appreciates me and my work. Go apply, they are good to... — read more

Any credible info on Layoffs coming before end of 2021?

Our managers are on a cap. They have to come up with a process improvements plan and then each week show the progress BUT the others managers have cut him/herout of the data so they are doomed. Along with the entire team (7 people). This is one... — read more

UHG culture is horrible and toxic as he-l. Nobody sane wants to be here.

So next will be UHG and other health insurers will not pay Covid claims for unvaccinated people. Actually surprised UHG hasn't done that already, the greedy ba..rds they are.

In a meeting it was mentioned going full automation in 2 months, what does that mean in terms of Layoffs? Thoughts?

Watch your performance and 1:1. They have a few reorganizations so they can cut middle management and other low hanging fruit. The culture sucks!

Anyone who works in HR know anything about whether or not we are going to be required to take the vaccine? I did, but I am worried for a colleague. She is going through IVF right now and worried.

If you've been with UHG for a couple of years you know that no matter what kind of results we are posting, there will be cuts. Good or bad, it makes no difference when it comes to RIFs. The only way to deal with this is to have a plan ready. Always... — read more 

Last week over 130 LHI/Optum employees were laid off. There are more areas under United Health Group that will be laying off before 2021 is over. Toxic Culture.

I am resigning from my position and giving 2 weeks notice. Does UHG ever let people go on day of resignation with or without paying out the 2 weeks?

There is NO rhyme or reason for the layoffs. The CEO received a $52 million dollar bonus YET he has the audacity to let workers go. OGS and USA teams will be laid off in the upcoming months of 2021. He didn't have a good track record with Glasko... — read more
