They were always going to occur eventually—whether we're doing well or not. We've seen cuts in both good and bad times. It's just a numbers game, and workers are the easiest target. Furthermore, the offshoring and AI trends will only continue and... — read more 

I heads 200 to 300 laid off. Quality specialists maybe?

I don’t think that is a coincidence. The outage and lack of integration was a disaster and a black eye for us. Also, our work from home culture didn’t align with the work office one of the MN folks. It seems destined to fail from the beginning, so... — read more 

Im locked out of my system. Can someone please hit control alt delete on their keyboard and give me the helpdesk phone number to the Americas? Or create a ticket for me please? Needing my MS ID.

Have any CHC employees been impacted? If so, what areas?

Was it due to the change healthcare acquisition and subsequent outage or the mu---r of the CEO? Obviously it was financial reasons, but was curious if you asked and found out why. I was so mad when I was told that I didn’t ask…I never had a single... — read more 

We have our regularly scheduled team huddle tomorrow. Should we be making preparations?

I can confirm 3 colleagues in the ISNP program in my market were let go this morning. Extremely competent hard working NPs who gave their souls to their patients and the company. Absolutely shows there is no interest in making health care better... — read more 

All of home health was just let go under Home & Community. Over 300 HHCCs.

How can anybody be remotely productive knowing their last day at the company is already determined?

If I'm laid off, at least I won't have to stress about layoffs 24/7 anymore. Yay?

How many times do they have to lie and say we're "valued" and it was "a difficult decision". Liars. They said it's due to loss of business, yet chc didn't lose any business, it's been non-stop busting a-s with a huge work flow. It was really cute... — read more 

Just finished the call with 42 others and we all just got the boot. Apparently there will be more calls coming down the pike in Rx. Which is crazy because they just added 6 additional reps 2 months ago and they were part of it. Best of luck :-(

Is it for a 1:1? Or something else?

Use this thread to keep each other informed throughout the day. Well wishes to all.

First, if they joined recently, their chances of being laid off are lower. They’re not as well-paid as those of us who’ve been here longer, and we all know pay is the main factor in layoffs. Second, being young today means they can more easily find a... — read more

Unfortunately here we go again. Please post position and dept if you were laid off. Let’s help each other.

For those that have been through this here or are in the know, when you get notified of your layoff, is it immediate or do they want you to work for an additional week, etc?

Does anyone have any idea which departments and where are getting laid off tomorrow?

So other than Home Health are other H&CC ( Navi) employed at risk? SNF, IRF, LTAC?? If so what function? Home calls? Peer to peer? MDS? A&D? Registration?

Is the layoff tomorrow affecting Optum at Home and if so what markets?

Sad news for tomorrow the layoffs will be happening, this will be across the board for optum employees. Managers are receiving termination training today. There is a freeze for on-shore hiring and only off shore. The main goal is to have 80%+... — read more

I would take it and never look back. I’m sure there are many of us who would do the same. Even in this economy.

Until this week is over, I don't see that changing. I'm starting to think that being laid off might be the preferable option to this constant torture.

We had a meeting today regarding the ISNP clinical model evolving. Long story short increasing caseloads. Not enough patients to account for the existing staff we have. So seems to me like layoffs are coming. Anyone have insight?

Any news on that front? If it’s true, good luck to everyone.

All, i put my neck on the chopping block for you. I am in a position to know that absolutely UHG is conspiring against US jobs, using the useless and fraudulent Optum Global brand to sneak around. The only reasons many people were not layed off... — read more
