I think I’ll move to the Philippines and get my job back

I know cuts are done for now but my honest advice is not to stop looking for a new job. Cuts will return at some point. It's never going to get better. I don't think any of us have a bright future at Optum and it's time we all start realizing it and... — read more

Everyone is posting about the layoffs but when you are laid off you are put into Redeployment so they can help you find other jobs within the company. How many people took advantage of that/have been rehired?

We got hit pretty hard 2 layoffs ago. Not sure if we’re due for another?

In the last week United HealthCare is blowing up my TV on all the major networks with more ads than I have ever seen going into this time of year. Some of us laid off are paying that tab.

What I also dont understand you allow laid-off staff to keep laptops for now to apply for roles but we can’t even sign in now. I’m over the hurt after 3 years but can’t even hold up to allowing us to apply internal. I’m not waisting gas to go into... — read more

I got like 5 emails and few phone calls, for contract roles at Optum/UHC. How is it possible or even legal that, they let go 1000s of people and now hiring contractors? Did anyone else get calls/emails for contract roles?

Are the severance packages in line with severance policy (by grade and tenure)? What other restrictions must you agree to for the severance payments?

Thirteen attorney generals wrote a letter to the Fortune 100 companies warning them not to discriminate on the basis of race and trying to justify that discrimination under the label of “diversity, equity, and inclusion”. Thankfully, this is the end... — read more 

Did a single one of the people you know who would deserve to be laid off actually end up being let go? I'm interested in other people's experiences with this, because all of our slackers are still here.

It is noticeable that more and more people are losing hope that things will ever get better here. When did you realize that things can only go downhill?

Do we know they pick Thursday for layoffs. I have a 1:1 scheduled for Monday. Do I need to worry

Was in a meeting with leaders and it was announced that there will be no new hires for at least a year. Came from that guy Di-k or Dirk, whatever his name is. Funny this was said the same day as layoffs across Moptum

Curious to see how many fellow Optum employees were laid off this month. What was your department, years of service (yos) and severance package(sp)? Maybe this will become newsworthy if enough of us post! Good luck to everyone!

“You are Awesome!” “United We Stand!” “Health Equity!” “We Care!” “Couldn’t do it without you!” “Words cant describe the appreciation!” You are fired! come again please! Thank you!!
