2nd Ransom Demand
Does anyone know what’s going on with the second ransom demand? Apparently UHC was given an April 19th deadline or the hackers would start posting member data on the dark web. I wonder if that’s why Witty blew off the Congressional hearing. — read more

Mr. 100x San Dan Gone?
Heard that Mr 100x San Dan will be gone soon as the Change Cyber issue seems irrecoverable after making boat-load of big promises?
Sad to say that the only open discussion about this org is on a layoff site!
If this tool is trying to set uhg up to be a single payer, would the US gov allow offshore labor? A lot of accounts stipulate onshore only...
Care Week 🤔
For all still employed at Optum, Monday begins “Care Week” … what a joke!
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
Anyone know what is happening with NaviHealth now Home and Community?

Question to all still employed with Optum CA
For the employees still employed at Optum CA, I have seen no email or no notification of a meeting pertaining to the lay offs last week. That shows me more lay offs to come. I recall the last layoff in June 2023, they addressed the lay offs quickly... — read more

Anyone know who’s responsible for the decisions made on who’s staying or being let go? There’s many with seniority who have been laid off.
Has anyone heard anything about the Optum/Landmark Social Work Manager role?
Just wondering if anyone has a heads up? Will the role be eliminated ? Social Work Managers be demoted?
We've turned into walmart!
Where is it written that corporations are forbidden to decrease profits? Come on people, this is getting a little out of hand! Get a grip!
Are their layoffs this Wed April 24th?

Profit over people
Its rather pathetic that a company that preaches how the value people and how important they are they constantly demonstrating profit comes before people. Even when they boasted about revenue BILLIONS over forecast during COVID they changed the... — read more

Search Optum on Linkedin and sort by newest. It is SPAMMED with recruiters posting jobs. Im sure in attempt to hide any negative posts. All the posts have the same text. Was the entire recruiting team given a script to post on Linkedin?!

How many of you felt like org changes or lay offs were coming to your team ahead of time compared to how many were totally blindsided?
