I'm ready to volunteer to be laid off
What is the point of hoping to keep a job that has reduced my quality of life to the point where I barely eat and sleep anymore? I now firmly believe that even unemployment is better than this. My mental state can hardly get any worse and at least... — read more
How does it work for laid off telecommuters
Would love some insight from those who have been through this. How long til home internet turned off? How do we return equipment? Do they want it all even like desk chair and filing cabinet or just computer and monitors? Thank you in advance.
One (elevator) door closes, another (elevator) door opens !!

Are waves of layoffs going to stop? This is a frank question?
At this point, all this non-stop anxiety is extremely detrimental to everyone's mental health (including middle managers and executives)
Upcoming Cuts (March 2020)
If prior posts are accurate, they had said aim was to offshore down to literally a few in MN. If that’s true we all need a healthy wake up call to get searching for other jobs NOW because with continued layoffs listed on this site expecting... — read more
Job postings
I see job postings, but for my state its the lowest I have ever seen since starting several years ago. I normally check once a month just to see what's out there. I used to refer friends who are looking for something new. From what I've... — read more

For those of you who already experienced RIF, were you able to apply for unemployment based on severance being a lump sum? Did you have to wait until you received the severance check to apply or could you do it right away since you were off payroll?... — read more

Life Insurance conversion premium
Has anyone opted for converting your life insurance by submitting a part-a and part-b form? Looks like when I completed the online application the premium seemed 100% inflated for a small amount of coverage. No way UHC portion was coughing up... — read more

Who is hearing things today?
No whispers in my area. No weird meetings on my schedule. Is this actually going to happen Wednesday or Thursday?
Do we have a confirmation on March layoffs?
Happening or not?
These layoffs are unethical and we need to get the word out.
Get everyone to write a congressional complaint. 2. File a complaint with the Department of Labor. 3. Post a complaint on White House website. 4. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Karma!
We have the best and the brightest
So why isn't anyone considering a start-up to combat the UHG/Optum machine? A&G, R&D , Clinical can totally end the process for providers. Are people consulting to do so? If not, they should be!
It's the worker bees who made UnitedHealth what it is...

March Layoffs

UnitedHealth Group (UHC & Optum) will be laying off employees (Aka Reduction in Force or RIF) on Wednesday, 03/04/20 or Thursday, 03/05/20.
UHG has being laying off employees for 2 years in waves. They do this so they can void the Warn Act and keep the layoffs out of the news. I have predicated many of these layoffs as I have an inside source in HR in MN. UHG has increased the layoffs... — read more

PTO Accruals when no notice is given
I'm aware that UHG does not pay out any accruals. So, if one zeros out their time and then leaves without giving any notice, can they do anything to you? (Beyond putting you on the Do Not Rehire list) What if you are on PTO and give... — read more
