For those that have a RTO order and continued to WFH, have you faced any consequences?

Sick of constantly getting edged by this site with no payoff.

Yea that’s right folks, we are returning to the moon. Damn. /s RTO was apparently a big honeypot here or at best an outright lie

Whatever veep or c-suite mo--n enabled this team should start looking for a new job.

Are RTO just corporate offices they are looking at or any sales agency/clinic location?

There is no uhg office in the city next to where I live. We have two optum medical clinics which are very small. I don’t even see a uhg/uhc building anywhere on maps. Is there a way internally or otherwise to look up an “office” and what that even is... — read more 

Critical resources with 10 to 25 years with the company have either left, found new jobs, or they're already interviewing. They keep hamstringing our engineers/innovators with increasing loads of security requirements and bridling everyone with... — read more 

The 30% onshore and 70% offshore model is cracking! Especially with incompetent resources, vendors and time constraints.

Between layoffs, RTO, increased offshoring, and other forms of attrition, it feels like I’m standing on ground that’s slowly melting away. Great for morale, of course.

Will there be any layoffs at optum at home/care at home?

I was told on Tuesday that RTO will happen and I am on the list to be notified on Monday. But non of my team is on the list. I have one team member who is with in 30 minutes drive. They are a pg27. Is RTO based on paygrade as well?

They show a minimum of days in office of 4 days a week. Check it out yourself in job search. I just looked at a random job posting that said remote in Minnesota

Optum Sh-t Show

Like not to harm anyone or destroy anything obviously. But what if we just actually grab all of our collective ba--s and then don’t show up to work one day or don’t go into the office. Like we need to stop being such fu--ing cowards and actually do... — read more 

Has anyone’s manager successfully been able to transfer them from Hybrid to Remote? My manager said she’s in the process since I am the only team member in my location.

A lot of people it should theoretically apply to, including me, still haven’t. All it’s done so far is create a ton of confusion.

All DC and MN telecommuters are now required to come in. 65+ page document with a hundred names on each doc was released on people with statuses revoked. Criteria was 30 miles to either office.

Time to leave the company

Layoffs already took place on 9/18, with more planned in 4–6 weeks and again in January—confirmed by someone in HR. The company is steadily offshoring more and more jobs from the US to India, unless a contractual agreement requires the role to remain... — read more 

Is it just UHG picking org charts, or is it the VP's Directors, offering up people on bigger teams as tribunes?

If all these people we offshored these jobs to can only follow a simple script, why even have them? All they do is take a ticket, tell the user to restart their computer, and then assign it to some random engineering group that is only tangentially... — read more

I’m so tired of this company and their office politics and BS, but it pays well enough so I plan to stay until there is an actual lay off for my contract. My whole department however, is a sh-t hole and all the supervisors are racist and... — read more 

HUMC to potentially buy out Optum in NJ!!! Has anyone else heard this??? New leadership has been a mess they have no idea what they’re doing! It’s ridiculous and straight up embarrassing that this is what Optum has become!!! What a failure!

What the F are we doing!?

Instead of being laid off, I’m beginning to think my job may be phased out. I work remotely for AbleTo which was acquired by Optum a few years back. I won’t go into the many never ending changes but it continues to feel like we may not be around... — read more 

How much Optum tech is layoff proof?

Kelsey Seybold Clinic which recently integrated with Optus had its first round of layoff on 09/18.. Ops affected. Not sure of the total no. Laid off

Any clue? I doubt it changes what’s coming at the end of October, but it’d still be good to know. Honestly, I’m starting to feel like leadership doesn’t have a real plan and is just scrambling to prop up the stock. If that’s true, it’s not going to... — read more

With all the negative publicity about the company over the last year, I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the worst peak seasons as far as enrollees are concerned. Thoughts?

No more cuts expected tomorrow?

A month ahead of the RIF, just give everyone a heads up on which orgs will be affected. That way people can budget accordingly and the rumor mill doesn't cause worry and panic across the organization. And, we could tamp down on false rumors that... — read more
