You guys know none of the RIF posts are true, right? This is all purely made up and people are having a great time playing with your emotions.
HouseCalls Year End Review
Are CTMs still emailing to schedule the review in February?
If the rumored numbers are true
how on earth are they going to wrap everything up in two days??
Home and Community Care (NaviHealth)
Any confirmation of layoffs within Home and Community Care (NaviHealth)
They don’t have enough people to make the calls!
To notify all impacted employees they have been rifed on Friday. Some leaders are being asked to do it for employees who don’t even report to them. Truly bonkers situation that shows: 1) rif number going to be huge 2) hr is useless if they can’t... — read more
RIF Friday 1/23/26 Optum Behavioral Health Dept.
Was just told by someone in that department that on Friday 1/23 they are laying off 17% of the team.
Update on RIF 1/22
Does anyone have any updates on tomorrows RIFs has any manager been notified that they have to give the talk ?
VP Globalization Job Rec# 2333224
Heads up...Just saw this job rec and it actually says in job description "Lead the globalization of our healthcare revenue cycle (RCM) business. The person in this role will be essential in hitting our goal of globalizing 1900 employees within 2026... — read more
Engineering productivity drops during weeks of layoff uncertainty.
Perhaps addressing the rumors by confirming or discounting them would allay fears.
Are they giving stock this year?
In my area, we’ve received some stock through various schemes over the last couple of years. Is there any word on the plans for this year, especially given the recent nosedive?
For all the 26s and below without RRP now...
How much do you expect your merit raise % to be this year? Since in that whole video they explained we are taking away your RPP so you have a "consistent" raise each year. Will they really just keep it at the 1%?
Hbmc
Do we anticipate any care at home (formerly landmark) being affected this week?
Is it really 25%
I’ve been reading the last few posts, so I wanted to know. Is it really 25% of the entire company that’s getting axed this week? Is there more detail into how that’s being done, or is it completely random? What’s really going to happen?
Anyone heard anything about the East market regions or affordability departments?
I feel like everything is very specific but then others are saying every department is 20% -kind of hoping to get cut tbh.
I would say I wish this week was already over
But it doesn't matter. Rolling layoffs have become our life. There's no room to breathe easy even for a second.
Culture can feel overwhelming at times
Not to be all "poor white guy" about it, but it can be difficult at times to be the only wh---y in literally hundreds of Indians in my department. Do they hate me? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me or care to... — read more
RRP calculation
I’m hearing RRP is funded 72%. If someone earns a 3 rating, what percent of the 72% would they get?
How Do Layoffs Work here?
I'm newer to OI... how do they typically let people know that they have been laid off? Is it a last minute meeting? Do you get an meeting invite at the beginning of the day? Are you told individually or is it in groups? Is it your manager sharing the... — read more
Compensation planning still not opened
Was told it would open yesterday (which was questionable since it was a holiday), wasn’t there. Checked again today and still not there. Just a terrible way this company is handling everything. So there is no update on comp.
WELLMED TEXAS
Can we please post layoff updates here for this week for WellMed Texas only
WellMed or Optum Florida?
Anyone know how much WellMed/Optum Florida will be impacted this week?
Promotions and ratings
Just curious, 1.In which week exactly are promotions communicated and go live in the system? 2.Also at this point are the manager ratings are already locked or the reporting manager still has a chance to update the rating for 2025?
ECS
Will ECS be getting hit on Friday?
Clinical Performance
Any news for the departments under clinical performance/excellence? Most of this work relates more with cost avoidance vs direct income.
A better way to handle layoffs
They could completely change the vibe around here if they just handled layoffs differently. What if they actually treated people leaving with some respect, offered a good severance package, and even asked for volunteers first? It wouldn't fix... — read more
Having a hard time dealing with all the stress
I've whipped myself into a frenzy anticipating layoffs next week. You'd think that by now we'd all be numb to this and learn to deal with it better. But every time the threat looms, which has become an increasingly frequent occurrence, I seem to have... — read more
Housecalls
Which large contract did Optum/UHG lose in Texas to make so many Housecalls NPs lose our jobs?
Don't forget that layoffs criteria revolve around profits
Not your performance or dedication. Worse, actually. Being both skilled and experienced pushes you towards the top of the list, because quality is costly. Don't bother trying to prove yourself in the coming weeks, or doing extra work in an attempt to... — read more
What's the point of the hiring if training fails?
The training program is a total mess. The new people end up confused and unable to do the basics, which means the experienced staff has to cover for them. It just feels like a huge waste of everyone's time and makes the initial problem worse. What's... — read more
Optum and UHC
I was just checking out the Layoff board for UHC, and their last comment was like a month ago! Are Optum employees the only ones living with this whirlwind of layoffs? If so, I'll jump off of this nightmare cruise and head over there! Waiting to be... — read more
How to contact HR as an ex-employee
I need to get proof that I was covered by group health insurance. Is there a way to contact HR that anyone is aware of. Thanks.
Trumps Healthcare Bill
Trump announced today a plan to reduce healthcare costs (great!). He seemed to take aim at taking money out of the hands of insurance companies. Do you think this will mean more layoff at UHG/Optum?
Upcoming layoffs
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.
Just got off the call…
20 percent of team gone, not even being offshored. The positions are gone. The irony is the directors/managers who found out who’s impacted on their team do not know if they themselves are impacted (only their boss will be told at this time ). So... — read more
Optum Contract
I heard OPTUM is to win a contract. Does anyone know if they won the contract to advocate for Veterans/Active Duty?
On PTO during layoff
What happens if you're on PTO on the date they are notifying those who will be laid off? Will they just wait until you return to spill the beans?
The hallway is saying….
Managers will know tomorrow who’s impacted on their team and it will be 23rd instead 22nd.
So which date are the layoffs going to be? 22nd or 23rd?
Anyone heard anything new?
Does the company sign and return the severance
Just curious, after I have signed and turned in the severance, what does the company do? Do they sign and return it to me or is their "acceptance" implied when I get a check ?
Housecalls Scheduling?
My schedule is only full over the next 2 weeks. After that, it starts to be 1/2 full at most. How is everyone else’s? I’m guessing I’m on of the ones being laid off? Texas FNP.
