Is Optum installing tracking apps or software on our work laptops to monitor what we are doing, for layoffs? Is there any trust in employees, and privacy???
Is job security gone for good?
I keep hoping after every new layoff that we'll have a decent amount of time to recover and relax, but within months something else happens. Is this how things will be from now? I feel like we can all collectively kiss job security goodbye and just... — read more
