Just gave my notice to my manager!!! Felt so good. Can’t wait to get out of this toxic place after 9 years being overworked and under appreciated and about about 3 dozen or more different managers over the years. Just after yesterday when I saw... — read more 

Will this area be hit or has it been hit already? I feel like it will be impacted at some point.

Dedicated for the purpose 8/3 layoffs projected to be announced.

I was laid off today and offered severance. Has anyone successfully negotiated severance with UHC?

I know it's not popular to say, but I need my job and I still enjoy what I do. I see all these people who keep saying they want to be laid off and I can't figure out if they're just posturing, trolling, or being serious. I don't know of a single... — read more

This thread is dedicated to the 7/27 layoffs. Please post as you, or team members you know, are notified so there is awareness for others. It will be great to understand the overall pillars and teams that have staff being let go.

I heard from a lot of people that they would gladly volunteer for severance if only the company would offer that option. Perhaps there are even more of them than ever before? I wonder what would have happened if the company had indeed offered... — read more 

I’ve enjoyed following this for a while. A lot of useful information about the company (and some useless lol). They should send this link to you when you’re hired so you know exactly what you’re getting into before you start. I guess that ruins the... — read more 

No one like the swing of hire, hire, hire then layoff, layoff, layoff. It creates a poor culture. Why don't we unionize??

Optum needs to layoff the behavioral health division leaders in the southern states. These people are mo--ns and the leaders are incompetent, "yes" women. I have three friends who worked for Optum Behavioral Health in Louisiana this year and all of... — read more 

Perhaps call and ask any given LEADER what a PBM or specialty pharmacy is and if they cannot answer axe them instead of letting them focus on their teams. You’d be surprised the leaders in OptumRx pharmacy division cannot answer this. I know from... — read more 

In the name of buzzword new management is creating an extremely toxic culture. Jack Welch is known as father of disaster, this gang will be second to him.

I don't know many people who plan to stay at Optum more than they absolutely have to.

Announced loss of huge contract which will result in the loss of many infusion patients being triaged out of Optum. Those of us who are still here will be used to accomplish this and then probably laid off after the Sept 15th cut off date... — read more 

Those under Nathan Kring will most likely be axed next week

Whether you were laid off or left because you actually know your value - anyone else experienced Optum ghosting potential employers on employment verifications? Is this legal? Don’t they have enough lawsuits to be doing something so petty? — read more 

I am hearing through the grapevine that the UHC (and possibly the UHG) buildings on Healthcare Lane are for sale, and consolidating into the Optum buildings. Any truth to these rumors?

Has anyone heard of upcoming layoffs in the SIU quality auditing department? We have been consistently running out of work for the last few months, and it’s happening earlier and earlier in the week. We just underwent a big reorg. Per usual... — read more

How is it possible for Optum to have such a high amount of growth but no positions for team members being laid off to move into and stay with the company?

So apparently I got laid off yesterday for violating a policy at work that I didn't actually violate. Asked about it during the meeting and could not get a clear cut answer from my supervisor. The only thing I was told/promised was that I could apply... — read more 

Why do offshore CSA pi-s off members then want to transfer them and they can't get into account. You lie!!

Please post if you know Optum’s severance guidelines. Is it one week of pay for every year of employment?

It’s so sad and shameful that VP levels are wasting so much time on meetings. New management maybe right, these are the paper pushers adding no values. They probably need to go yesterday

This is for anyone that gets a quarterly bonus. How long do usually wait for the payout? They keep pushing our payout dates out to the point where we now won’t get paid for it until the end of the following quarter. Ridiculous.

According to JR, hundreds of people being notified 8/3 they are being let go.

This company has become a joke, but I don't really understand those who say they hope to end up on the layoff list. Why such thinking? Isn't it always easier to find a job while you still have a job, than to face the huge stress of looking for... — read more 

I was selected for an “On Demand” interview and in the email it says it’s 100% recorded with questions and answers. Like where are physical “human” beings to do actual “human” resources and tastings…. 100x my a-s. This is another further disconnect... — read more
