A series of town halls and leadership calls the past couple of weeks demonstrates the vapid garbage leading this company. "Growth" is the agenda for 2024. No, really? Did you guys go on a golf retreat to come up with that one? Optum is innovative?... — read more

Annual Bonus, 1-5 years of Unvested 401k and retirement
Is this an annual pattern and practice that needs to be addressed? Does UHG make a lot of money when they lay people off, not payout the annual bonus and 1-5 years of unvested 401k and retirement, unused PTO, or give severance (or a small few... — read more

My third rejection letter in as many weeks
All after either the first or the second round of interviews - all of which I believed went well. This is so disheartening. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm desperate to leave Optum but the way things have been going, I'll be stuck here... — read more

Laying off physicians
Optum just laid off 10 physicians from southern california. Greedy Derek Chao and Sir Di--head Wyatt . Where tou at!!!!!!
Co-worker just got laid off today - "restructure". Not sure if it's widespread
Surprised that this person got let go, and they were blindsided. This is in the Clinical Performance umbrella, for people that know the company. We haven't had any other big rifs since the 500+ employee one back in August
Laid off after 3 months
Is it common for people to be laid off after only 3 months on the job? I was let go today from UHCT and only been here 3 months.
Hope everyone to be impacted today stays strong
The last few weeks, leadership have been collecting job aids. Then a lot of 15 to 30 minute team meetings with managers scheduled for today, 10/26. I hope everyone finds another job quickly.
What's going over in Specialty?
New CEO is randomly having us work on "projects", overseeing these projects and gradually adding on more responsibilities with no pay increase at all. Today I got told I would be on a team for rph consulting. I'm a CSA, I take inbound calls. Suddenly... — read more
This Company ....
It su-ks, it is toxic
On-site Contractors
All contracts will terminate. No exceptions. That’s your trick and treat from candy guy.
redeployments
Anyone else think the redeployments are just a way to postpone layoffs til after the first of the year? Reps are being moved to UHC member services to handle calls about UHC MC during open enrollment.
Couldn't be happier...
... I got laid off on 05.04.23 and I couldn't be happier! Now I just wait for my lawsuit to settle. The work environment at Optum is full of harassment, and discrimination!

Layoffs today?
Mass layoffs were expected last week and today. However, as far as I know, nothing has happened. I believe that if you were to guess that there would be a layoff every Thursday, you might be right once in a while. There's a lot of fear-mongering... — read more

Booster Vaccines with United Healthcare
What is with United Health plans. My spouse went for a booster and they said United does not cover it at this pharmacy. We paid out of pocket. From my research I would need to travel 15 miles past 23 other pharmacies and Vaccine Providers to get to... — read more
1:1 with VP moved to Thurs
I have a skip level 1:1 that’s been on my calendar for awhile with a new VP and now she moved it to Thursday. Is this a sign of layoff? Very stressful!
Future Work Roles
Anybody willing to be my fake Optum Supervisor? I’m needing someone of actual competence and decency for a application and resume rebuild I am doing.
Quality
Seems now they worried about this quality issues because Medicare not gonna pay them if you have tons of complaints. This year when they went to town with denials and they boosted their earning by 24 percent , seemed quality was not an issue. Less... — read more
I don't care
They want to lay me off? Fine. I'm done worrying about it 24/7. They want us to stress and stress in hopes that many of us will decide to quit. If we do, they don't have to pay us severance. I'm not going to quit but I'm also not going to care if I'm... — read more

Any one heard the same or have information?
Star Rating ⭐.5
Shame on United Healthcare's PBM OptumRx who has had a 1.5 star rating for many years now and with some of the same management team working there for years.
Shoutout to the managers taking PTO during layoff periods.
Looking at you, UM.
Hate This Company
I hate this company more and more each day. I just want to be fired.
