They let you go in 10 mins after working for 12+years of dedication, sincerity and improving processes/procedures. The management requested us to stay when they need with all kinds of false promises, to the extent openly saying in All hands meeting... — read more

Do you think that PM and BA jobs will be sent to India too?

They are talking about massive layoffs in my department too. They said that tenure would work in our favor but from what I have heard from other people who were laid off, this means nothing, or even works against you. We're all just taking it day by... — read more 

I'd been at UHC for just under 25 years. Then yesterday, "Your position has been eliminated. Good luck!!" I'd been proud of the progress I'd been allowed to make and even of my salary. I agree with a previous post, there is no rhyme or reason for the... — read more 

It's sad, we are treated with so much disrespect by United - Pharmacists deserve better even in layoffs.

Any connection? What do you think, is it going to be better or worse - Sometimes I think that all I want is to survive 2014 and that layoffs will be behind us and that Unitedhealth will be a great company again.

yet, they do not do anything. we are forced to let people go and we make the money - go figure - UnitedHealth has it's own ways

The culture of fear. Horrible place to work. I will be leaving soon.

Optum used to be a great company. In the last year, it has been a terrible place to work. This once innovative company is filling with middle managers who are puppets with no creativity. There is a culture of fear and very low trust among employees... — read more

I heard that the number is much close to 50. This is a huge cut nonetheless, many good folks were let go.

OptumRx, a branch of united health, announced the lay-offs of 29 Pharmacist's yesterday including at least one who is currently on maternity leave. Ruthless.

this is crazy, layoffs at this company are constant, you cannot have a single month that somebody somewhere is not laying people off at unitedhealth. good luck to all of us.

It's coming, reorg is coming, redundancies are coming, do not be fooled this time around UHG will cut you if they can save money doing it

UnitedHealth Group is a well managed company, do not get me wrong, I am no trying to be sarcastic as we are dealing with a number of issues on the operational side. From the finance perspective UnitedHealth manages our money really well and I like... — read more 

We cut thousands of MDs working on the Medicare Advantage plan - United HC is merciless, it's all about the bottom line and very little regard for patients and society as a whole. Sometimes I am ashamed I work here.

I heard rumors that we'll be letting people go in 2014 (Q1). We've done this before and this is nothing new to UHC. This helps with numbers, good numbers translate to management bonus increases, the fat cats are happy and the little guy at... — read more

layoffs are frequent

Do not come work here - hours are long and pay sucks, there is no mentoring and UnitedHealth will treat you like crap

to reiterate - no massive layoff is planned... yeah, right. with obama's sharks swimming around i would not be surprised if we were to shut down completely. nobody's happy...
