Re-orged is there any hope?
For anyone who has had this happen, how hard is it to get to another department/team? How long did it take? Was reorged today and not thrilled with where they put me.
Which teams/departments/roles in IT have good WLB?
Currently in prod support, WLB is not there and looking to pivot. Which is better? Or is it all bad?
They are going to offer overtime the contractors in India
I work in the credit fraud department, where overtime is often offered. However, today, they announced that overtime is no longer available for stateside employees, but the contractors in India will now be able to work overtime. We inquired about the reason behind this decision, and they simply stated that overtime is not a guaranteed benefit. Furthermore, on March 20, they laid off a few remote workers from my department. All of these events make me feel uneasy. Anything like this going on in your department?
Which groups have been hit?
Sounds like it's everywhere. Has any area been spared?
5/21 Org Changes and JEs
Are we still expecting the next round of org changes and small rounds of JEs on the 21st?
National Buying Department Update
It’s that time of year again! Joan’s sending out cryptic meeting invites!
Any idea what this is about? Who’s getting laid off this time?
Anyone who is impacted, say the group or product
country/region would be good too
How bad has morale gotten in your department?
My group hit rock bottom and we keep digging.
Summer Fridays
Hearing different rumors about Summer Friday’s this week.
WFH every Friday over the summer, two weeks of your choice to WFH. and up to your department head about coming to office Fridays.
Any truth of any of these?
Federal Public Lands Workforce Shrinks in Mountain West
More than 5,800 federal public lands workers departed last year. This affected eight Mountain West states. Agencies like the U.S. Forest Service saw significant declines. Many workers were reassigned to the Interior Secretary's office. This reorganization may lead to slower decision-making.

Town Hall Anyone?
Anyone have one coming up this month? If so what department and what date?
Case Management
Any word on if Case Mgmet will be impacted?
Reorg
My original post was deleted so I’ll filter this one. What counts as a reorg for a layoff?
Half of my group is moving to another manager, but not a BU. The head of my department is losing half of their downloaded. Am I at risk?

Lack of Communication
As of today’s end, our department has still not received any communication from leadership regarding compensation. The ongoing lack of clear leadership and consistent communication continues to be our department’s most significant concern.
Get rid of useless departments like Global and WHQ Reselience
Business continuity? The “Nike intelligence center”? Emergency management? Literally millions are being WASTED in payroll and opex with people getting paid to twiddle their thumbs, while people who actually do work are getting decimated.
Humana Department RIF list
Pls list any department or area with active RIF’S . Maybe we can see a pattern ?
Timing of leadership timing
Why did it take so long to officially announce Omar’s departure? Jeff has been in the role since February.
Which regions and departments have been affected?
If you have reliable info, please share. Good luck to all.
Departments that have Checked Out
I’m sure there are numerous, but the 360 app team is a total mystery to me. No one responds to emails or messages. It’s impossible to get any answers to XDA or FMP. I am starting to think none of them know the programs and aren’t able to answer questions.
Exit programs
Anyone had their realignment meeting yet today? If so, what dept are you and what did they say??
Anyone else get a 9a department mtg tomorrow?
Assuming more layoffs tomorrow.
Get ready for Departure
Boarding begins 8AM Tuesday
Client Services
Layoffs have been making their way into the department, and there keeps being talk that Platinum Service Leads are next amongst coworkers. Management is also really pushing for us to prove we are busy. Just wanted to put it out there and see what people have been hearing.
Where to hitch your wagon
you can usually tell the power setup in a department within the first 5 minutes of a meeting.
just watch who the boss talks to first. watch who they ask for ideas, who they look to for answers, and who they check with before moving on.
when a boss says stuff like, "jason, what do you thnk??? or "nicole, what is your take?" that tells you a lot. it shows who they trust and whose opinion matters most. that is usually the person with real pull in the room, even if their title does not sound the biggest.
sooo, its simple, pay attention to that person….learn how they think. build a good working relationship with them. a lot of times, that is the person helping shape the real decisions and decides who moves up or down.
Layoff thread 3/31
If you are impacted by the layoff's today, please share your department and paygrade.
Layoff thread today 3/31
Please post if you are impacted by the layoffs today. Let us know department and paygrade if you feel comfortable sharing.
SM/Director Cuts Coming Today
And we’re going to a consolidated D&C org
Are you in beauty? Consider Merle Norman
Merle Norman is a great option if there are any near you. Commission is much better than belk, without the insane requests for credit, working in other departments, and understaffing.
Nonsense Projects
We had a coffee chat with the director of our department, and they mentioned that most of the LCS projects are likely to be either discontinued or significantly scaled down. At the same time, there’s another initiative emerging informally around DAC using Amines. The person leading this has no knowledge of fundamentals. Another waste of resources.
Opinion on the AI insight everyone forced to watch
my opinion, complete waste of time. Department trying to justify their wasted "AI" investment.
Who’s next? Which depts? Post here
Any insight on which depts/teams on the upcoming lists? There are 4 more layoff dates - along with individual layoffs thru Q4 2026.
Anyone have the list they can share?
Layoffs Today 3/19 String
Sorry to all who have to endure today, remember you are strong, you are worthy, chin up! Please add if you are laid off this week, what department, job title, grade and how many numbers if you know. Good luck.
Internal job transfers
Does anyone know if bosses can essentially block an associate from transferring to another internal job? No known freezes or limits within the department on transfers.
How to post on here
Give details. Optum is complex so we need more details than just "layoff 03/19"
Which departments? Which lines of business? Clinical or nonclincial? Operations, legal, HR, clinics?

More layoffs
I’m hoping our team is next. Seriously our team serves no purpose to be fair. It could be done by other departments or really just an automation in the system. It’s not survival it’s just the truth. Not sure why they even made this team as it doesn’t even make sense. Literally here collecting until the end because it pays something while looking elsewhere.
