I swear, if they bring WFH back now…
They're just je-king us around, aren't they? Maybe they'll tie it to a gas price threshold - check the pump each morning, find out if you're driving in. Next-gen attrition tactics!
Doing more didn't save me
I picked up extra work, helped other teams, and stayed late when it was needed, and in the end none of it seemed to matter. The people making the layoff calls clearly had no clue who was actually doing the work. That’s the frustrating part, when what... — read more

How many cuts before nothing's left
I'm watching team after team get carved up and wondering when this becomes unsustainable. They keep cutting deeper, and everyone left is just expected to absorb the rest. No one's asking if the work still gets done, or who's going to be around to do... — read more

Wellmed fired 45 doctors yesterday
Https://www.wellmedhealthcare.com/notices/ No telling how many PA or FNP got let go. As I understand it, the plan is to cut the panel in half over the next year. IMO this cutting our way to success is not going to work

Does anyone have the remaining known dates for layoffs this year? I just saw a comment on another post that said 3/19/26 was 1 of 4 remaining, but I’ve only seen 4/30 as the next known date. So, if 3/19 and 4/30 are 2 of the 4 dates, what are the... — read more
There's really no way to protect yourself from layoffs, is there?

..Remember when the millennial's told you..
Do your best, always. Still, the reality is that the days of staying in one position for 20 years, earning steady raises, and feeling protected from RIF conversations are gone. For those who are hurting, it makes sense. You invested a lot of... — read more
How do the decide who's laid off?
So how do they decide who is laid off vs who stays? I was laid off a couple of years ago (and then came back to a different role, lower pay grade) and there were 2 of us laid off from our team of 5 - I was 48, she was in her 50's; I'd been with the... — read more
Spill the beans

The Latest Twist
Today and subsequent lays offs…. You will be offered a job, more than likely with reduced pay. IF you opt to not take offered job, Optum will not pay you your severance. Is this even ethical? Most households cannot survive if someone’s salary is much... — read more

04/30 Layoff Cycle Question
Will Optum Advisory be impacted by the 04/30 layoff cycle? Seems like we have dodged many cycles with minimal impact as we are most of the time pure profit, except people who are on the bench, so they are typically the ones cut if OA does have... — read more
