Any news on etips reorg?
Any insight on how and when it is happening?
Todays the day I guess
I just received an email about a last minted meeting taking place in 1 hour and in the subject line of it says: Mandatory meeting and Review. I hope this isn’t what I think it is.

TERMS THAT MEAN "WE'RE TIRED OF PAYING YOU, SO BUH-BYE"
(this post is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but if you're here on this board, you need a bit of levity.) laid off - were you laying ON me before? let go - was I a hostage? redundancy - are other MEs doing my work and I didn't realize it? canned - when did... — read more
REPOST: a poem to Optum Leadership
Going to work used to be fun. You could always find a laugh with someone. We worked long and hard for our members. I'm not sure if Leadership remembers. For the special, for the elderly, for the parents, for the sick-- if you needed it done, we got... — read more

Largest employer of physicians, PA, and NPs. Nursing staff growing as they keep acquiring. The physicians are starting to and historically unions do healthcare employees tremendous good
The Great MCO Standoff
The tumbleweeds of corporate apathy blow through the dusty cubicles of MCOs, where a high-noon showdown of epic proportions is brewing. Our heroes, the noble employees, have adopted the "quiet quitting" strategy, expertly toeing the line between... — read more
Interesting thought......
Reading all these posts about Optum (and I agree with ALL of them) show how poorly the employees are treated. If I were families or a patient getting services by this company I would be SUPER concerned about the type of care I was receiving by... — read more
trust is a currency rarer than a unicorn sighting
In the hallowed halls of Optum, trust is a currency rarer than a unicorn sighting. The walls have ears, and every whispered conversation is a potential career death sentence. Ideas, once nurtured with hope and enthusiasm, are swiftly snatched by... — read more
Layoffs CHAs
looks like the CHAs live to see another day? Almost 1pm and still no email or meetings
Culture of Liars
Must be the weather up where the "leadership talent" are hired near and around Minnesota HQ. Staying indoors for 6+ months of the year, all these "leaders" can do, is lie to themselves, each other, and others consistently. Pretty sure these leaders... — read more
THE REAPING HAS BEGUN
Sources report that the dreaded June 13th has arrived at Optum, and the first wave of "volunteers" for the Optum Games have been selected. Whispers in the hallways speak of tearful goodbyes, frantic desk-clearing, and the ominous sound of HR's... — read more
Good luck, guys
Whoever is getting RIFed, I wish you all the luck and hope you will be back on your feet in no time. To the rest, there will be workload multiplied by the number of people being let go, and also a prolonged reorganization, so whoever is still here... — read more
When will CHAs be laid off?
There’s been talk of the CHAs being laid off and I’m just wondering if that’s true? I’ve heard it’ll be in July, but I’ve also heard the managers will go in July with the CHAs following in Sept. Does anyone know what’s actually going to happen with... — read more

Anyone have any dates as far as when they will layoff more? Also who is more likely to get laid off?
Customer Office losses
some senior leaders are leaving the Customer Office as announced today. "We're gonna stabilize and improve the culture on the team." ...like when?
No accountability - Average folks pay -Consumers & RIF Job loss
U.S. law states data breaches must be reported to individual patients within 60 days of discovery. February 21 discovered the data breach. Today is more 60 days? Someone is not doing the math or just letting off the hook? Things never going to change... — read more
Is this info re: June layoffs confirmed?
I heard that 6/20 is gonna be light and that 6/27 is going to be the heaviest with numbers. Multiple segments across the board impacted by this. It was also advised that those selected could have MAP scores of even 3+ to cut more dead weight so a... — read more
CHA’s
Rumor has it CHA’s are being laid off tomorrow, June 13th. Anyone else hearing the same?
COBRA and MFA
Am I the only one experiencing a lack of Multi-Factor Authentication when logging in to benefits.cobra.uhg? I thought all of those gaps were closed, based on the congressional hearing?
Want to quit. How does it look out there?
Frankly, I hate this job and this place. Anyone can share any info on the outlook out there? Job market doesn’t look good, but that doesn’t have to mean anything in our line of work. I’m planning to scout the ground before quitting, but any... — read more
7/18 Layoff
Heard in a previous post there will be a large 7/18 layoff. Anyone know which departments will be affected?
Optum is the next we work or movie pass
It’s incredible how the focus is selling a brand and stock. When you hear the leaders talk about how Optum's work it’s a different world than the field work.
This coming Thursday… fits the mid month lay off protocol
Does anyone have solid info if layoffs will happen this coming Thursday?

Do you guys have any business segments you’d like to see over turned? If so please comment them below! Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
How long until they figure it out?
I tried to hit the resign button, it wouldn't let me. I tried to contact HR you can't get a person on the phone. Sc--w my manager. So I just turned my computer off, has anyone else done this? How long before they figure out I'm not turning it back... — read more

Fûçk this place
Where can I sell patient information and company software details at/to? I prefer a rival company but I’m not opposed to dark web. Any information would be appreciated.
Navi losing business
Humana is not renewing a couple states for 2025. (Plus BCBSM is leaving.) Not looking good for Navi in the layoff environment.

Are SW managers with Landmark getting laid off next week?
Attention Tributes of Optum
The Reaping is nigh! Mark your calendars for July 13th, 2024 because that's when Lady Luck (or perhaps not-so-Lady Luck) will decide who gets to volunteer for the prestigious (and slightly terrifying) Optum Games. Who wants to volunteer?
Rehire as external candidate
Has anyone ever been rehired after collecting severance? I'm applying back in after May 2 layoff. I know some will think that's crazy, but I have 15yrs in, and would like to keep that tenure and benefits, and I also need a paycheck!!! I am also... — read more
Anyone else hoping to be laid off in the coming summer waves?
I do. I don’t want to be a part of this train wreck anymore.
