With the 401k funding change, could severance packages also change?

Is this a weedout course for employees? I've just completed it and tbh, it's not something everyone could complete. It requires critical thinking, debugging and prompt engineering to complete. What do you think will happen to those who don't get a... — read more 

Any management willing to state what city they work in that they had to choose someone to lay off for 12/18?

I had to sacrifice two members of my team in OI, and I am absolutely disgusted by it. They did nothing wrong, and if I hadn’t submitted names, my manager would have. I’m so sorry for everyone who will be impacted right before the holidays. Please... — read more

The only way I'm leaving is with a package. I can wait you out evil company.

Why don’t you just leave this site? Stop commenting on every post. We will not stop sharing. Maybe you need to see a therapist. Maybe you clearly also need a friend because you seem real lonely. Anyways bye boomer.

This company is circling the drain. Cutting by 1% the match. Cutting costs everywhere. You just lost whatever raise your were getting. Actually worse with the health insurance rises.

Hold on and wait for the severance package. It’s coming anyway.

Hadn't thought much about RTO in last few weeks. I didn't get hit and neither did most who I work with directly. We're all pretty spread out, so not near one of the offices where RTO has happened so far. But sat through a client call this morning... — read more

I'm on my 4th manager in about 12 months. Two of them were laid off just in 2025. I'm taking odds to see if I'll be let go or my manager before the year is done. No matter how hard I work they pile up the work and expect more. It is a system designed... — read more

Now that feels like a foggy memory. It was never perfect, and I never expected major career growth. Advancement was already limited when I joined. But things were better organized, more efficient, less harsh, and at least somewhat logical. Doing a... — read more 

New to Optum this year. No idea what to expect for a bonus. Target is 15%. Any leaders willing to share their thoughts on what I should expect so I’m not disappointed?

We are told we can apply for internal roles, but then every posting disappears or gets filled before anyone even interviews. Before, you had a chance to move either laterally or upwards within the company, but now that seems to have completely... — read more

Please share details on what is happening with this leadership meeting, does anyone know?

I heard from my manager that we are getting tracked on time in office now? Is that true?

I got let go last month and it still feels unreal. All the mistakes are made at the top, but it’s us who always get hit. Meanwhile, senior management keeps doing their thing and takes zero responsibility. Hard work counts for nothing until they need... — read more

Does anyone else have an onsite meeting for Thursday the 4th? Not sure if this is restructuring or what.

I’ve heard so many different versions of what’s coming and when that I can barely keep track anymore. I know we’re in trouble. It would just be nice to know what’s ahead so we can at least try to prepare.

I want to quit so badly and I even have got interviews elsewhere but I’m held back by repaying my tuition. I have one more year for the two years so maybe I’ll just hang on til then. I hate this place so much.

Anyone out there know how bad the layoffs will be on 12/18? Which locations?
