Looks like a decent sized one at the end of May. I was asked for 2 names today. I have a peer in another old Tesmer team that had to give some too. Seems like it might be pretty good sized.

We are topping layoff charts again

IT developer here: AI is coming for our jobs.
Do not think about chatbots. Do not think about AI (pick any ChatGPT etc) writing an email or summarizing a meeting. That is not the real threat. The real threat is the dozen projects happening behind the scenes that are automating back-office... — read more
No RIF today
Seems Apr 30 RIF was all just rumors.
Ageism is alive and well
Too many reports of people 55+ being let go in disproportionate numbers.
Internal job postings
Anyone else notice the internal job posting site is down on the day of layoffs?
OptumInsight
I saw in another post that 30% of OI employees would be impacted. Doesn't seem that way. Anyone know if they can give you notice on 5/1 vs. today?
Lay offs
Doesn’t seem like any layoffs are taking place today????
4/30 RIF IMPACTED
hi, Hoping anyone impacted today might find this thread and post whatever info they can for the rest of us anxious souls. Good luck everyone! ❤️
Targeted salary grades and Age?
Anyone from the previous round willing to share their age and salary grade? Curious if the same age groups or grades are being targeted in the cuts rumored for today.
KSC Clinics Closing
Anyone have any info on what KSC clinics are closing for good? I know our path of growth was too aggressive, but didn’t think closing clinics was the solution. I always assumed they would just do a hiring freeze instead of laying off WellMed... — read more
Good luck to everyone tomorrow
And whatever comes, take care of yourselves. No stress. No self-doubt. None of this is your fault.
Wellmed employee PTO?
I have 77 hours of PTO accumulated. What will happen to it if I’m let go tomorrow?
Invites
Anyone have invites yet?
ECS or H&C
Any insight on layoffs within this department?
Lots of Change. Will tomorrow impact TA?
Just wondering how long it will take for TA to be hit. Work is a a trickle and people are scrambling to find jobs to work on. Any thoughts?
Lay offs in May?
So someone mentioned there being a realignment in my area after the next employee survey. Anyone know of any lay offs in May?
Optum Serve
Any intel on layoffs in Optum Serve?
Is Wellmed getting hit again this week?
Seems like Optum is doing everything it can to eliminate Wellmed, just wondering what we are up against this week.
How do RIFs typically work?
When do you get the meeting invite from your manager? How long does the meeting usually last?
Optum Super Heroes
Did anyone notice that OptumInsight only had 5 Super Heroes awarded?
Drinking on the job
Are many of you like me that often have several drinks throughout the day, and are even buzzed often? The constant threat of layoffs, the incompetence of the offshore people and management. Drinking has been my coping mechanism. Mainly wondering... — read more

The annual cycle
Every year we hire a bunch of people. Every year we fire a bunch of people. Can we just pick a plan and stick with it for once.
Culture Week during 4/30 layoff week. The irony is comical.
The Culture Week "pep rallies" and platitudes of how much this company cares about the culture and it's employees is nauseating, especially during a week when another round of layoffs is happening.
Unusual RIF
Are the RIFs really expected to be worse than usual? There’s always some level of reduction in force, but a lot of what’s being said doesn’t seem grounded in anything concrete. It’s hard to imagine them cutting a third of OI or Health with so many... — read more
Town halls Monday
Town hall meetings coming over for Monday at optum health. I guess to address the sla-ghter and tell the survivers to do more with less! 🤑
Laid off on PTO
Curious how it works if you get laid off while you’re out on PTO. My manager has been very distant for a number of weeks now so I can only assume I’ll be part of the April 30 cut. I took this week off so they don’t lose my PTO but I’m curious would... — read more
RIFs
Anyone know if home and community or house calls will be impacted?
Allina
Anyone know if we’ll be part of the 4/30 exodus?

Is OptumRx impacted?
Any insight if OptumRx will impacted Thursday?
Employee Experience Survey! I bet this time they take it to heart! (sarcasm)
The next employee survey (EXI) opens up on Wednesday... just before the axe swings on Thursday, apparently. Don't let the fact get in the way that leadership doesn't really care and hasn't responded to consecutive surveys pointing to the real causes... — read more
