Lack of communication, no 1x1s, supervisor missing, etc etc. I was told by HR to apply internally for another position if I’m not happy. What. A. Joke. That tells me right there that HR knows what’s going on and doesn’t care either.

Any thoughts that Year end layoffs are designed to dupe employees of bonus. Any class action lawsuit ? Is it even true that management is looking for their benefits only? No one watching or cares!

Can you review the thread in Optum about Sr Execs forcing people into Amway and lend your thoughts? Thanks!

It seems like with this reorganization that it's mostly UHC jobs that are being eliminated for jobs that already exist / similar in nature in Optum. So is it expected to have layoffs in both UHC and Optum in 2020 or mainly UHC?
