Good Morning all, does anyone have any info/ideas abut the upcoming months and potential layoffs? Thank you.
Am I the only one who hates “FUN” meetings?
I have always hated these meetings since I got hired but tolerated and participated because it’s not weekly thank goodness. I understand there are a lot of extroverted employees that are remote and they need that interaction but can it please be... — read more
OI Product
Does anyone know what it means or why my Teams got changed out of nowhere from OI Operations to “OI Product” seems like my entire project was changed to this today out of nowhere.
The faster you leave the industry
The better you will feel about yourself and your professional engagement. I’ve worked in health insurance for years. The daily battle with problems at work was slowly eroding my health and self-confidence. It was stressful and demanding, with a... — read more
UHG/Optum Employees Should Be Able to Choose Their Health Insurance Provider
We work for UHG, why is the only option buying health insurance from the company store? United Health has been the worst medical insurance I've ever had. Let me pick Cigna or someone else, anyone else. Why am I forced to subsidize this terrible... — read more
Surprised no one is talking about the PBM issue at hand
The reason for the big drop in stock price seems to be the PBM issue in the spotlight. Besides the bi-partisan bills in congress to make the big 3 sell them off, even the incoming trump administration is saying he plans to do away with the PBM’s as... — read more
Well..this is a fun one!! Optums AI chatbot was open to the internet

What's your pay grade level?
I'm curious as to what pay grade levels are in here. I saw a comment on a previous post about 'pay grade 24' and that made me wonder who all is represented here. Are managers and higher ups in here or just employees who do the day to day work? I'll... — read more
Untouchable
UnitedHealthcare's relentless pursuit of profit reveals itself not only in their treatment of consumers but also their own workforce. Their decision to outsource sensitive medical data processing and jobs to Ireland, India, and the Philippines... — read more

Another market sent to the graveyard
The Temple/Austin market of Landmark was told today that the market will be closing on 1/31 as it was not profitable. They lost a contract that will end on 12/31 but were slowly admitting M&R patients. So I guess the M&R patients could not sustain... — read more
"We Help People"
I find it funny that UHG/UHC always has videos of people that the company has helped, yet, They've got one of the biggest denial rate of all healthcare companies. Two faced a-s-hats.
Just lay me off already
Put me out of my misery.
Let's stage a one day walk out
UhG as a whole should all walk out and show them we mean business. You can not keep benefitting from our patients and us as employees!!! They are never going to admit they (executive) abuse the system, cheat patients, and deny legitimate claims. Ot... — read more
Witty fireside was leaked
Ny post and he is being roasted for his comments related to preventing unnecessary care and to ignore media negativity. The public perception of uhg is likely going to nosedive even further. Once this goes to trial even more bad publicity coming.
Executives 2023 salary and bonuses
Are we shocked ?!? https://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/content/dam/UHG/PDF/investors/2024/2024_proxy_statement_final.pdf
Start looking for another job if you haven’t already
As soon as I did, I stopped caring about losing a job. Daily pressures no longer affect me as much as before. We get so wrapped up in toxicity and abuse here that we often forget that we actually have options.
If you want to know more…

This is a great summary of the problem with United Health Group. https://www.facebook.com/reel/971725498318414/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v
We are a national joke now!!
Will the BOD ask CEO to step down? His tenure is nothing but a disaster.
Landmark employees going to ConcertoCare...
Have any former Landmark employees gone to work for ConcertoCare? Any feedback?
Don't train your replacement
I remember when one of my coworkers trained a guy just before being laid off, only to have that same guy take his job. Recently, I was asked to do the same thing. I tried to say I was too busy, but no one cared. So, I’m showing him just the basics... — read more
Next round
I’m hearing another big across the board from all business units coming in Feb. lists with ages and titles already circulating. Don’t know how big or exactly who is being targeted. It’s messed up that hearing news like this actually gives me some... — read more
AW Fireside Chat
Instead of doing any self reflection AW doubled down on not changing a single thing about the company and even said it’s already great for providers and members. Honestly, this company couldn’t care less about its employees as they are on the... — read more
All I want to know is when the next round of layoffs will start
That’s the only thing that really matters to me at this point. I don’t care about the execs, what happens to them, ethics, or whatever topic is grabbing attention today. Feeding my family and keeping my job are all that truly matter in the end... — read more
If you only get a meets expectations, what do you do?
If my supervisor comments how well I do through the year and never says hey you do X wrong or fix X, through the whole year, and I constantly do things that I’m not asked to “help out” or be a volunteer for projects, and I get a “meets” only - what... — read more
The ethics of health insurance
That’s the only thing that UHG CEO execution makes me think of. I’m on the insurance side, and I find my job very exhausting because I’m ethically and morally conflicted about decisions on claims on a daily basis. I don’t have a final word, but I’m... — read more
reminder for all of us!
it’s a reminder that, at the end of the day, no one is truly indispensable at their job. work will go on, and someone else will eventually take their place, while their family is left to grieve. a heartbreaking situation, but a powerful reminder to... — read more
UHG is seen as evil
This tragedy has really illustrated how hated United is as a company. Seems worse than the other major insurers. Very little sympathy, more serves them right type mentality from the public. The doj investigation, illegal stock trading, high denial... — read more
Just a body
How disturbing that they continued with the investors meeting. Brian was shot just before 7 and they still had the meeting. They only ended it early as word got out about the shooting. I guess we really are just bodies to this organziation
Andrew Ws Passing, UHG layoffs?
I feel sympathy for the passing of the CEO even though he has been MIA since the 22 million dollar scandal, and while I hope those who loved and cared for him heal and have all the time they need to grieve. I would be lying if I said my first thought... — read more

End workplace abuse!!

I wish UHG would cover GLP1s
thats the post.
Feb culling
If it comes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes and it’s massive, it’s better to start looking for another job now. Staying with Optum for too long is not good for anybody's health anyway. This may as well be the incentive to look for greener... — read more
Have the Employee Survey Results been published?
Just curious to know how these results turned out and if they are even usable? With so many management changes this year, not sure if everyone would be happy. I know dissatisfaction around retaliation practice after contesting the ratings from 2023... — read more
Leaving was the right choice
I’m not trying to convince anyone to quit, but I want to share what happened when I left. My health was taking a serious hit from the stress and toxic environment at Optum. It got to the point where I had to choose a lower-paying role just to escape... — read more
