#uncertainty

We're still just guessing how many were affected? I don't understand why there isn't any official word on this.

Heard anything new about more people getting let go? Trying to figure out if I need to start lookin for something else real soon.

Get ready mates, this one is going to be very bad the big one. If you are in SBG I would be very worried.

Can someone please share the directives coming down right now? Every leader seems even more in a scramble this week than the last 8 combined.
Yes it’s clear layoffs happened this week, but it’s something more. I had vaguely overheard, I was trying not to be obvious, about a directive that was given from HR about a RTO mandate. As in some directive about a larger mandate to ensure employees are in hubs and not remote. What is going on? All of us see and sense something.

Anyone have any idea?

Word is new seating assignments have been announced in Deerfield support office. But that the areas assignments for the most part aren't big enough to accommodate all the team members. Also, that the parking lot will be 325-350'ish spots short once OPO staff join in Deerfield in 10 days. Anyone hearing anything else? Feels too quiet this week.

PL told us a reorg was planned for PHCO. Does anyone have the tea?

I thought this would be done today?

We already lost a few people on my team a few hours ago and it's been quiet since. Should I take that as a good sign for the rest of us?

But it doesn't matter. Rolling layoffs have become our life. There's no room to breathe easy even for a second.

Looks like a bloodbath. Best of luck to everyone.

Many people asked to take a demotion.

This su-ks

My coach just got fired. And there appears to be mass lay offs at Overland Park.

Because I just witnessed the r@pe of a market/area. I'm good but damn T-Mobile you scary.

Getting multiple reports of layoffs Tuesday morning and still ongoing at time of posting

:(

I'm in one of those bad stretches in life when problems just pile up - family issues, aging parents, health stuff. Everything's breaking down all at once, and the bills keep piling up. I'd probably handle the job uncertainty better if everything else wasn't falling apart. As it is, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and make it complete.

How many have spent the weekend checking email for a meeting maker. Side tracking life while foreign interests and foreign nationals pervert data to show a better story then may be the truth. Leaders get to take the money and run. You should too. The rainbow washing, green washing, virtue signaling it was never about culture or employees it was about revenue generation.

When’s the email going out ? How long do we have to search for a new job

I've read about cuts last week, is there a way to know it'll continue this week? Anything happening so far today?

Hearing of several one-off layoffs. One person in a department vanishes. ESC. Seems like a week ago was a layoff week. Labs are adding people, ESC is tossing people. Discouraging. Frustrating. What are other people hearing? I can count 5 in the past 3 weeks across plants and corporate.

Any guesses as to how long they are going to keep them , seems to me that they would want to get rid of everyone

Now that things have settled down, we are fully focused on cutting costs. That’s all the LT cares about. With all the cost cutting there have got to be layoffs. The question is when? 2026? 2027? How long does it take for layoffs to come to us? Where are all the employees going with all the work being cut? Trying to see if I can last long enough to get laid off. Wishing I took the EOI but had no idea what we were in for.

Not heard much internally on how we are doing. April is looming, what’s the chances of more cuts. I’ve updated my cv but not many bites so far in the uk

He didn't say anything of substance in the AMA. If they were to occur would they be in IT or other places?

first time IM. will be happy if have a severence package...

Anyone know what was said?

My apologies if this already been posted....

How does Optum decide who gets laid off? I've heard most people say it's random but I've also gotten the idea that it's based on your QA.

US corporate employees received messaging to work remotely on Thursday January 15th 2026. Reasoning was to facilitate multiple meetings regarding department changes. Very similar tone to last year's email. Staff is worried.

Anyone heard anything new?

I don't understand why leadership has to be so secretive about something that profoundly impacts our lives. We've all been stressed out for a while, speculating about what's coming and when. It's paralyzing.

God knows how it will all play out, not only for our company. And let's face it, it won't make any difference for us lowly folks either way. The axe never stops swinging, and nobody will value your hard work or the risks you take anyway.

Boss said Feb 1 big changes.

Unhappy ending

Reimagined part two….i hope it’s not true.

Mills being closed and not much movement at corporate.

Anyone heard anything? Should we be worried?

Is this everywhere or only some places. Town Hall tomorrow are they announcing this?

I don't know how anyone will be able to do any work until then. The tension is palpable.

They're happening this week. But do we know if all the cuts are US only?

This week. Good luck and Godspeed.
