Optum was hit in December and January. I was in Advanced Illness and they cut half our team. Unfortunately, I was one of the ones cut and one of the top performers. There is no rhyme or reason as to who they chose to lay-off!!

Has anyone heard of date of March 2020 layoffs? Who will be affected? Any update is appreciated. Thanks

It has NOTHING to do with working harder, having a degree or even knowing how to do your job.... it’s all about how much a_$ you can kiss and if you are the directors bff. I can’t wait to watch this company tank because nobody wants to talk to a... — read more

They stated work force reduction and laid off about 25 plus from the department I worked in yesterday and today in AZ.

Any impacts there?

Not going to lie is rather be involuntarily transferred than laid off

Why such a weird date for the potential layoff? A Wednesday? Anyone know the rationale behind this?

I heard that in the midst of all these layoffs people are also being fired. Is this to avoid paying both severance and unemployment?
