I’ve ventured out to look at my calendar once or twice on a weekend because I need to plan an appt or otherwise around work calendar and realize other people are online (managers/directors). Do they really work on weekends? And if so, why?

Are we really looking at rolling layoffs and reorgs for the rest of the year? I don't know how anyone's supposed to stay sane through it all. With the job market the way it is, I bet everyone's panicking just like me.

I was told that layoffs at HouseCalls were done. Anyone else hear anything about Housecalls?

Just curious as to many people within Genoa were affected by the layoffs. Seems as though training personnel were hit the hardest from what I’m hearing, but curious what other business lines were affected.

I have seen team after team's work get stolen by ireland or India, and then those teams dismantled. US employees, when your team starts interacting with ireland or india in anyway way, know that their goal is to acquire your work so that your job... — read more 

Care coordinator role for post acute care. Anyone have any info on the job? Yay or nay

Stop this madness. Pseudo leaders are gaming the system. Dedicated resources are sidelined or laid off. Sycophancy is the name of the game. This will end worse than your experience at Enron. STOP THIS NOW.

Do employees from companies that Optum has acquired receive RRP if salary grade is above a 26?

But it doesn’t feel like a win. I really feel for the people who lost their jobs, especially given the current circumstances, and it angers me that so many of them were exemplary employees. I’m not a big fan of my job either. I reached my limit long... — read more

OI lay offs starting to happen in marketing.

It appears RIFs started in HC today, 2/19. I do not believe anyone was affected or at least reported anything during January. Likely just the beginning of markets’ adjustment. Please share any info as it unfolds.

Something has to be said about this, everywhere you look it’s the same hollow message plastered everywhere. What’s next? They paint the ceilings orange?

If you were laid off, could you please state the area you were laid off from and your role or grade level. Just want people to keep informed.
