If I quit, am I able to cash out any remaining PTO hours? Anyone gone through this personally with leaving Optum? I think I’ll have about a week of unused vacation days and I’d rather cash out if I can then use them!

Was just sent a exel file with a listing of job reqs. They are hiring 10 Phillipines managers for the corporate IT helpdesk. Each manager can have 20+ direct reports. They also have 7 reqs for phillipines "techs". With the American economy trying to... — read more 

Not that I hadn’t seen it coming, but my position was finally axed. I was just about to explode in excitement that the day had finally arrived. I was prepared, since I have been shocked to make it through numerous cuts. Then the kick in the teeth... — read more 

Workers who aren't preparing themselves for a possible layoff or firing are kidding themselves. Before I left the company I was working for over twenty years I was preparing. I had a Plan A (stay long enough to retire) Plan B looking for another job... — read more 

Why people stay at United or Optum is beyond me. 1-2% pay raises each year... laughable. Lowering of benefits... ? The surveys that nobody bothers reading. I see the long term employees and their work ethic. After receiving the annual increase... — read more 

Friend works in OptumRX and was RIFed today - Minnesota/Eden Prairie. Any others?

Something doesn't feel right... Almost as if the layoffs will start back up again. Never ending cycle. What a sh!t sh0w$!

Now that I've seen the raise and the bonus, I'm sorry I put in any effort at all, and I've worked for several people. It doesn't matter, it's an important lesson. I think the leadership achieved the opposite effect with raise and bonuses. Instead... — read more 

I am a low level ( lowest ) manager that this week had the displeasure of delivering annual reviews. I am told from "leadership" that I cannot give a 5 unless the staff member is ready for promotion, and there is a position to promote them to. I also... — read more 

Did anyone catch the CEO saying we should disregard the headlines regarding inflation rates? Anyone else interpret this as our CEO claiming inflation rate is fake news” or is that just me? I get the feeling he’s not shopped for his own milk in a... — read more 

I’ve heard a rumor that there are no annual raises being given at all to Non management employees this year due to “a tough year”. Even though UHG took in 17.5 billion in profit in 2021. Has anyone else heard this or are there any truths to this... — read more 

How many management levels could be removed without anybody noticing?

Having been here for new number of years I've seen how these reviews impact employees just coming into their first job or new to a large corporation environment. I want you to know that these annual reviews are in no way a measure of your hard work... — read more 

Is he a fraud ? Just another talking Car dealership type? Does he have any specialist accreditation except a criminal case of bribing in China.

Today was a sad day. Management held a meeting with both shifts after work at Optumrx pharmacy in Carlsbad ca. They announced starting March 14, 2022 second shift will end. They handed out a piece of paper to all employees with a room number. We were... — read more 

It surprises me every time I see someone write that they feel helpless here because of the uncertainty. There is no reason at all to feel stuck in this company. There will always be layoffs, as there will always be other options as well. So why... — read more 

Anyone have any updates on the February layoffs?

Already two colleagues left in a short time without giving notice. Leaving without giving notice, is that some new trend here or am I missing something? By doing so, you don't harm the company as much as you harm the remaining colleagues. I... — read more 

We're having trouble hiring to replace those who left. I don't like this management but I don't think even they are stupid enough to have a layoffs round when we're desperate for more employees. What exactly would it achieve other than making... — read more 

It's been really obvious to my co-worker and I that our boss is discriminating against women. He will require us to detail down to the steps what is needed for a task and our male counterpart doesn't have to. Time to file a complaint with HR. They... — read more 

Just putting this out there.

Management didn't hit their quota and didn't produce. Their is a big shake up looming... called a re-org.

The real reason they stopped bravos and barely give a bonus is due to the fact that the less they pay out the better management looks. They are worthless and should be laid off.... again!

What are your bonuses looking like? In PI, it’s not too bad this year

I'd love to get out of here, but I'm still here. It may sound weird, but I really don't know why I'm hesitant to leave. I know other people who have the same problem - they want to leave but do not send any applications. Maybe it's the fear of a... — read more

I had an in-law reach out to me last week to ask what's it like to work at Optum since he is considering transferring. He can't stand being overworked and underpaid at Molina anymore while he deals with a toxic work environment. Sounds familiar? Yup... — read more 

People here were talking about layoffs, my colleagues were talking about layoffs, I was mentally preparing to hear the bad news. However, there were no layoffs last week or the week before. I'm even more anxious now. Could it be that Optum will... — read more 

So if I read the email correctly, since my dept is on QVC, we will no longer get Bravos with points in 2022.

Why does it seem to me that more and more individual consumers are choosing not to buy Optum because they disagree with the policy of a company that finds cheaper labor in other countries? Is it possible that this is happening?

Anyone have companies to recommend. Is medica, bcbs or any other insurance companies better to work for. Thx peeps

I’m a business analyst and ranju did a townhall today. He told us if we don’t like it here leave. If we don’t like the culture we can exit. What a gem

What happened to the all the talk about Layoffs this week 12/13/21

I've worked for this company for over 10 years and I would never refer someone to work here. They downgrade you and work you perform by calling you out in team meetings. The discrimination is bad... Not worth it
