What day does the Michigan Landmark market close? Have you guys received notice yet?
February Update
Please share any information, dates for February. Thanks.
RRP and Merit are low this year, but don't worry!
Skeletor gave himself 61 million dollars for his compensation package this year. I'm sure that will trickle down to all of us, right? Right?
Unionize in Home & Community / navihealth /Optum
Many nurses and therapists working in Home and Community care have seen their roles change significantly over the past several years, especially since the buy out of naviHealth within care coordination roles - consisting of OTs/PTs/SLPs/RNs... — read more
Literally 0 benefit going beyond bare minimum
Guys don’t work after 4-5, don’t go in early, don’t give up nights with your family, don’t respond to emails outside of work hours, don’t be proactive. Can’t tell you how much I have given up for this company over the last few years and what is there... — read more
I'm calling their bluff
They're trying to stress us into resigning. My strategy is quiet quitting. I'll do just enough not to get fired outright. If they want me out, they'll have to pay for the privilege.
The Joke that is our inept leadership
To be honest it’s a shame how our leadership is approaching AI. AI truly has the capacity to make healthcare better but leadership just uses it as an excuse to nickel and dime employees. We are constantly forced to justify ourselves as to why... — read more
I used to only hate Sundays due to Mondays
Now I can't even properly relax on a Saturday due to Monday-related anxiety. What they're doing is destroying us, and they couldn't care less.
Mandated Quarterly AI Goals in MyGPS
Whats everyone putting for theirs? Does learning how to use Grok to make deep fakes of our dear leaders count as AI training?
Merit and RRP a Joke here!
We are being told if you are a 3 or a 4 this year for your merit increase expect somewhere from a 0-1%, what kind of a joke is this company (doesn’t even cover inflation here in Texas) yet they give those a*holes at the top millions of dollars in... — read more
How to manage Severance
I am getting 22 weeks of severance and I don’t want to lose it. However I may have the ability to come back and am in interviews next week. My last day is 2-6-26. If I ask this new division to wait until the 7 days after I sign my severance to offer... — read more
C-Suite Has Money. What they desperately want is respect.
Give them none. Skeletor, Cuervo Swerve-O, and SD have no compunction about making our experience as employees worse. From cutting our 401k match to delusional AI boosterism, they've demonstrated they are incapable of leading. Mock them for... — read more
I’m just tired of all this
Of this job, where I have to make decisions I don't agree with every day, each one taking a small piece of my soul. Of my manager, who seems to care more about pitting us against each other than the substance of the work, thinking it’ll somehow earn... — read more
Can one volunteer to be laid off?
For whatever reason, they don’t want to work anymore. Can they signify manager to have them in the laid off list. When is the latest to let them know (as layoff is normally planned ahead).
Layoffs are never an employees fault
Please remember this if you’re second-guessing yourself. You were not fired. You were removed because of lousy leadership that can only make itself look good by getting rid of as many people as possible to make the numbers look better. That’s all... — read more
SHARKS
The health insurance business is a mess, and no health-insurance company is a bigger mess than UnitedHealth Group UNH 1.61% . But with its shares down 17% this week, much of that mess may now be reflected in the stock price. The bad news started... — read more
Minneapolis RTO
In case people have not heard the directors of several LOBs have granted remote work during the time when everything in Minneapolis is going down.
Shout out to House Calls Dept
I just want to say how awesome and well needed housecalls department is. I had a call for a patient today and you guys are so organized and on top of things and such an important asset to this company!
Unemployment Su-ks
I’ve been unemployed for 11 months, and watching people I know announce new jobs or promotions makes me feel smaller every time... I want to feel happy for them, but instead I’m left with envy, frustration, and a quiet sadness that doesn’t really go... — read more
AI push makes me want to scream
The harm it will cause to both clients and us will be incalculable. I won't even mention the craziness of the AI business model or the broader impact on people and the environment. Since it's already being forced upon us, it should be regulated into... — read more
Offshore VP laid off
Well, this is something new. Hearing about an offshore VP of Software Engineering getting laid off this week in CE.
SD is so out of touch
This is not a video game. These are people’s livelihoods on the line (both who work here and who the employees serve). This was the most out of touch townhall I have ever seen. Good luck to everyone
Durrrr... I done leveled up ya'll
The he-l is he talking about hitting level 11 and treating this like a game. Beyond tone deaf.
Its Over
Holy Cow this company is cooked. Absolutely rutterless townhall talking about AI. I wouldn't be surprised if this company chapter 11s in the next 3 years. And Optum is sold off for scraps
Does leadership know any other word than AI?
If we played a drinking game every time they say AI everyone would be drunk before lunch time. These people are so out of touch.
Are they really d-mb or not getting the real information from their as* kissers or good liars?
I cannot believe the words coming out from these so called leaders mouth. I guess as long as they can travel the world and enjoy in company’s cost - they don’t care. It will be another company that goes to ground.
This mf is too happy
Watching his d-mb face be all happy on this all employee meeting makes my blood literally boil. I want to punch the screen.
Tax Forms
Have they started mailing tax forms yet?
UnitedHealth forecasts loss of nearly 1M employer plan enrollees amid price hikes
"UnitedHealth Group executives today predicted that the number of people with its fully insured commercial health coverage will fall about 16% this year, to less than 6.9... — read more
Not to worry you but
Copilot guesstimates 2000-5000 cuts in 2026 just within Optum health. 572 confirmed in Jan. Out of 240000 employees could be worse. https://www.beckersasc.com/asc-transactions-and-valuation-issues/whats-new-with-optum-9-updates-in-3-months/
You are not alone in this: REACH OUT!!
I’ve received four separate inquiries from different parts of the organization asking whether I have any open positions. One came from HR—they emailed me saying the individual was identified as a top performer and asked me to review their résumé for... — read more
PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO US
Voluntary separation!!! Let those go that can take the impact better. Don’t force people out that need this job for the support of their families. Please. Listen to us.
My motivation is officially gone
I'm in pure "collect the paycheck" mode now. Minimal effort, zero overtime. The last year and a half have been a masterclass in how dedication is rewarded here. It isn't. My only remaining goal is to get a decent severance and never look back.
HouseCalls Troubles
I do believe HC is essentially in trouble. With 2027 projected MA revenue change of 0.09% which indirectly affects 2026 projections, projected further MA membership attrition (up to 3 million), HC will inevitably shrink. “They’re choosing... — read more
Just Sad
Coworkers laid off last week, this week I hear the product I work on is being gutted. Some will move to other areas, others will be let go. For the “lucky ones” that remain, it feels like we are left behind on a sinking ship. Lower 401k, no hopes for... — read more
100x stock price crash..
Is this what Sandip Dorkani meant by 100x, crashing the stock price? 52 week low of 234 could be reached at this point. One disaster after another lately with leadership. Brush up your resume and look elsewhere, the only thing that will 100x now is... — read more
Houcardilab is run by Clowns!
IMO - Optum should completely overhaul and replace the incompetent and absent middle management from all the inherited poor performing Kelsey-Seybold Clinics within Houston Metropolitan area. Most of these pseudo leaders were promoted by their... — read more
