Good Morning, a lot of chatter about RIFs, over seas workers ETC. Can we please refrain from wild guesses, those that have reliable information can you post what you know, and a little bit about how you know the information? appreciate it.....

There was an emergency memo pushed out today to high level leaders to stop all Town Halls, Announcements and Communications....aka layoff notices. To only communicate daily business critical items for operations. Very unusual. It is urgent we call... — read more 

Optum and other brands under UHG are planning major layoffs to replace US staff in every position possible in foreign countries such as India. Thousands of targets have been named as the offshore staff are already hired to replace them as soon as... — read more 

The tool officially opened. 1.5% raises in US and around 7-8% in India. Lowest I have ever seen in US. RRP is roughly half what it was last year. Makes me sick looking at these numbers compared to the hard work everyone has done this year. If you... — read more 

Actually, the sooner I’m laid off, the better. I want another job, preferably not in health. Industry is operating on undistilled greed, nothing else. We always get the short end of the stick with such an arrangement. Both us, workers, and the... — read more 

14 billion dollars but they didn’t make enough money? Does Witty need to get swindled out of 22 million each quarter this year? This company is shameful.

Work in the back end just working with providers to get documents or send Forms. Look over and work in coordinate. Worries about layoffs. Any word? For Navi turned Optum employees?

Layoffs for HBMC have been postposed to the 23rd. Definitely TX, not sure where else. @av+1jhqcaa3a Is this confirmed? Any news about others?

no one has posted about receiving a meeting invite yet so is it safe to say the RIFS aren’t happening today?

It was recently found out that CHC employees are not getting the RRP. CHC employees also didn’t get it last year. It’s annoying hearing them try to put on a facade that we are welcomed and part of the team, but it is clear we are not valued. The... — read more 

Anyone have any insight as to whether there will be a RIF in this market tomorrow?

This is absolutely a s*** post and hold no weight but why in earth would they change the time you’re allowed to clock in go from 5 minutes to 3? I’m so sorry were my extra two minutes a day really digging into your profit margins??????

So it’s projected when they release the numbers UHC as a whole is projected to have made about 6 BILLION In profit. Yet the US based employees are at a constant threat of getting laid off. It’s time for the complaining anonymously on websites to stop... — read more 

Postponed or not? I know it doesn’t make much difference in the long run. They are about to offshore everyone and everything. This year is going to be exceptionally bad. I’m in the business of buying time until I find something else, so every day... — read more

Is the entire Home Health utilization management department being cut out under Home & Community?

https://www.warntracker.com/?company=optum I'm pretty sure the one filed 09/2024 is for 01/2025 (not 01/2024.) if you're in the NJ or NY area, be on the lookout! these notices are filed and Optum WILL be laying people off.

Was disheartening, but not surprising, when they outlined strategy to buy new companies for solutions instead of building internally solutions to physician problems. They also bragged about having tons of dry powder to buy lots of new companies, as... — read more 

There was a lot of talk about layoffs likely being postponed. Anyone know anything for sure?

Value based insurance design in Medicare Advantage discontinued after 2025. Over 7 million members will be negatively affected, but that probably means UHG employees will be safe, right? Otherwise I would have seen layoff speculations for any... — read more 

I've reached my breaking point with this company. I've been on this team for two years and busted my tail through all the issues, through the CHC nonsense (which isn't my job, I helped to try and look good for a promotion), finished my masters, and... — read more 

Did anyone else hear that RRP is delayed this year? Any news on overall merit budget?

First of all, let me extend my deepest gratitude for your unsolicited negativity. Truly, the way you’ve all come together to tear down someone who dared to ask a question speaks volumes—not about me, but about the state of humanity. Bravo. Let me... — read more 

I feel stuck with the company because I need the benefits for 2025. I’ve been looking at positions internally and have had absolutely no luck with getting a new position. Does anyone what positions are staying/going this year and when? Should... — read more 

I don’t even care if they treat me like cr-p, just like this place. As long as they pay me better, I’m in.

With the trends of AI and offshoring, many of us are likely now viewed as just temporary workers. I adjusted my expectations accordingly and stopped making any effort to progress my career. I just take my paycheck and try to do only the bare minimum... — read more 

I heard the 24 hour Nurseline is sunsetted. Was there a layoff? Or transitioned to a different department? Can anyone affected offer details?

Any real layoff information? What area might be next and when?

I know there must be people in the higher positions with morals and a conscience or am I the fool?!?!?

Several folks have said that their posts were taken down , possibly by corporate snoops. How are they able to do this? Can anyone delete a post?

In March, Optum will lay off 34 workers at a clinical laboratory in upstate New York. The reason for these job eliminations is “sale of business,” according to regulatory documents Optum filed in New York this... — read more 

I made a post about them offshoring to India and South Korea and my post got removed idk which upper management at UHC reported it but it’s the truth they are planning to offshore half the company if you’re not a pay grade 30 or 2 you don’t have... — read more

The idea of layoffs sends my anxiety through the roof. I try to stay calm, but it’s hard when I’ve been hunting for a new job for months with no luck. What baffles me even more is how some people aren’t fazed by the idea of losing their jobs. It... — read more 

Nobody should be. A job is neither a gift nor a handout. We all work hard and it’s us who create value, actually earn the money for the company, and get just a minuscule fraction of earnings in return.

Can we put whoever compiles the layoff list at the top of the next one? It’s painfully clear they have no idea what they’re doing. How else do you explain us losing some of our best employees in every single round? Someone needs to step in and fix... — read more
