Currently debating on ducking out before AIP payouts for another opportunity but wanted to see what the this year's multiplier is looking like before making that decision. Was told the past few years were set at 60% - given out stock price split in... — read more
I feel bad for those about to receive 2's on your performance review in February
Its more than likely not your fault, its a cr-ppy tactic of using the bell curve and even if you have 15 members on a team all of which are good performers, management is forced by leadership to pick a handful to give 2's to. Then you are placed on a... — read more
It feels like the number one rule at Optum is to cover your own back
Whenever something goes wrong, there's a mad dash to point the finger at another team. No one in management ever just owns a mistake. It's exhausting. On top of that, we all know we're being paid well below market rate, and the chance of getting... — read more
Any chatter about this week?
I need at least one night of decent sleep, or I will fall apart.
Hiring makes no sense here
They keep cutting experienced staff only to bring in new people who take ages to get up to speed. What's the point?
Goodby and good riddance
I have been at Optum for 8 years. I love my team. I had a really great Manager until they brought in a Design guy who was some influencer. This dude was an a-s clown.. The problem was not him, it was leadership above him. They wanted to bring in... — read more
Manager gave us a motivational speech on Friday
I wish I’d recorded our faces while he went on about “dedication” and “hard work.” Even he couldn’t hide that he didn’t believe a single word coming out of his mouth. I honestly don’t get how these corpos still think this kind of theatrics works. Are... — read more

Layoffs
Z
Anyone else here that planned on buying a house/car/big purchase but put it on hold due to the insecurity of working here?
🙋♂️. Saved for 4 years on a down payment trying to buy a house so I can start a family. Due to all the layoffs, that has been put on hold indefinitely for as long as I work here. Can't wait to get out of here but the job market is absolutely trash.
Clinic Nurses + Medical Assistants
How likely is that we'll see major layoffs of clinical nurses and medical assistants in 2026? I see rumors but it's hard to figure out.
California Layoffs and Consolidation
From my understanding, the following clinics have been affected: Euclid, Stanton, Cypress, Cerritos, Seal Beach, Tustin, Foothill Ranch, Laguna Hills - Moulton San Juan Capistrano.
Why are we even discussing layoffs?
They’ve been a never-ending affair for a long time. I wish for an alternate reality where none of us had to live in permanent existential dread.
December layoffs
can anyone confirm the dates of the December layoffs?
WellMed Layoffs 12/4 and/or 12/18?
There was a rumor about the 12/18 date for more Wellmed/Optum layoffs, but someone just received an in person meeting for 12/4 and they're concerned so I wanted to see if anyone had heard about anything happening then?
Department of Education now is declaring most HEALTHCARE majors as "not professional degrees?"
What’s going to happen to Optum in the long run?
Optum at home
All of Optum at home needs to be rethought. Leadership in the Midwest is a disgrace, micromanagement is off the charts, leadership is vindictive and retaliatory. They do NOT want to promote you or move you anywhere after hundreds of applications and... — read more

Question: not sure if it’s been answered before but what is the reason behind of a colleague receiving an email requesting feedback for you? Is this for evaluation purposes or future RIF?
Any idea how big today’s cuts are?
I’ve seen so many messages and status updates. From where I am, it looks like a lot.
Will new person on BOD save us from more layoffs?
Steve-o appointed a Deep state Trump admin guy with solid GOP credentials just this week. Do we think this olive branch is enough of a quid-pro-quo to quiet the admin from removing the individual mandate and divert Health Insurance Corporate Welfare... — read more
Layoffs Mayhem
This is more of a vent…. So, my layoff date is January 8th, 2025. I’ve only been with the company for 2 and a half years. I see I’m only getting a month’s worth of severance pay - the three weeks plus 40hrs of PTO. That’s bs! How am I supposed to... — read more
