Topics regarding layoffs at Optum

Paid time off

Have heard they aren’t paying out accrued paid time off. Is this legal?

Well, last week was exhausting

I’m one of the people who was laid off. It’s a blow, and I’m scared for my future—wondering how, or even if, I’ll be able to help support my family. But at the same time, I feel genuinely liberated. Towards the end, I hated my job. I started... — read more 

Severence

Has anyone (or anyone you know) lost out on their severance? What happened? I’m not talking about not receiving it due to being offered another position. What are examples of things that could risk that?

Optum Health

What teams specifically were cut in the Optum Health space and why? Heard about it at a high level but no specifics.

Whistleblower

Every employee laid off or not should become One, it’s anonymous and what is the company going to do when everyone is one? Hide behind their stocks and stutter while trying to make people believe their lies. The time is now.

Rewarding Results

Does anyone know if/when rewarding results will pay? Hoping to leave sooner rather than later but don’t want to leave money on the table.

Layoff question

After a RIF, are managers/remaining teammates instructed not to contact those that were let go?

Offshore post removed

An offshore employee made a post about why they have a job and we’re getting laid off and now it’s removed?

No news

Literally, not a single article on these layoffs. Meanwhile, there are hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of links on the announced CNN layoffs. Why in the world are those more important or more interesting than what's been happening here? I'll never... — read more 

How many so far?

I know it's not done, but it'd be good to know how many people in total have been laid off so far.

Be ready for increased workload

Teams that lost one or two people will probably be able to handle their work without too much trouble, but those that lost more than that are going to face significantly greater challenges moving forward. Nobody truly wins when there are layoffs... — read more

My heart goes out to all impacted

I hope you will all find better jobs soon. Don’t let this bring you down in any way, nor make you think that it’s somehow your fault. It’s not. It’s pure greed.

Just a friend

Does anyone notice any relation to the issue s coming out of DC and the current layoffs (ie, government programs more than private ones). How about anything related to DEI, like older women 55 and up or some demographic like that?
