I am passing on the VSP. If they give me the layoff after with fewer options....I'm not doing s**t until my end date. I'll be only working on my resume and leads! Good luck, all!

I don’t know about the others in this group but I believe they need to quit with the surveys and come on with the VSPs. Quit wasting our time so we can get on with our lives and figure out the next steps. Would these people want people ja--ing around... — read more 

For those who mentioned their VSP was extended and allowed them to choose an exit date: which state are you located in? I applied but haven't received any updates or info on my application yet. I’m in California.

To CNC Representative Trolls. Please refrain from voting ‘down’ on honest dialogue. Very obvious you trolls!!! Mission Simplify This!!!! 😄

Does anyone know the % of # of employees they wanted to reduce for the VSP Phase? Or altogether goal?

How much do you agree with this statement: “My feedback directly contributes to leadership bonuses, even if it contributes to nothing else.”

Serious question because I’ve been on STD for a while and haven’t been updated on this. I’ve read so much on this forum and feel like I need to know what I’m going back to since no one on my team has reached out. I did get the first email about being... — read more 

I don't understand why it's taking so long. My VSP approval should be easy and with all the wonderful AI technologies that they now have you would think they would be able to weed me out by now.

0/10 would not recommend!!!! I wrote they are exploitive and my thoughts on making us all wait for this VSP. Mission Simplify is a fu--ing joke

It’s going to be a very long stressful difficult week! Hopefully we all hear the news soon and it’s everything we hope it is whatever it is we want. Good Luck everyone

Will the severance be paid as a lump sum, or do we have the option to receive it as staggered/salary continuation payments? If paid as a lump sum, what tax withholding rate will be applied? Thank you for your help.

Assuming we get notified 7/27 and that most people's end date is 9/4, that only gives 5 weeks for everyone to use up vacation and personal time. They don't want us taking PTO within 2 weeks of separation, so all vacation has to be used by 8/21. I... — read more 

This whole VSP/looming layoff has got me stressed to the point where my anxiety has gotten to the point that I am now on prozac and still can't sleep. I have barely been able to function in my role and spend most of my time trying to look for other... — read more 

Almost forgot to post about this. Heard a PL (not mine, she's amazing) one day the week before last say "Mission Simplify has nothing to do with layoffs and RIFs. It's all about operational efficiency." Riiiiiiiight.

Okay, folks. So what do y'all think is the over/under on the company changing the "new" VSP approval/denial date of the 27th to something another 2-3 weeks out? I just have this bad feeling about it, and that it's going to happen by the end of this... — read more 

Push out the older, more expensive workers and bring in younger people at lower salaries might sound like a great idea, but there's a problem with that plan. The new hires are all about protecting their personal time and sticking to exactly what... — read more 

If you received approval: I. Personal or company email? Did it confirm severance package dollars? Were you given a specific separation date? Thanks in advance

So I completely understand the need to serve members, the huge queues, the need to work work work. But we are losing the human touch that case management is supposed to represent. Based on the current direction it is - treat them like cattle - find... — read more 

What exactly do supervisors and managers and above do everyday? My supervisor is either in a meeting or on a call almost everyday, and seems like every 3-4 hours they have to go to a meeting or hop on a call. So my question is, for sups or whoever... — read more

So it sounds like some people have received their VSP approval letter Has anyone in PHCO Case management received theirs yet?

It would help us anxious folks if people could share if they got an email stating they've been accepted and if you can mention what type of role you're in. It's gonna be a long two weeks....I fear that I will be rejected because I'm in case... — read more

what are the ways to deal with this if it hapened?

This waiting game has caused so much anxiety. I just want to get that email response so I can get some sort of something so I can see how soon I can be out. And no I am not just going to leave! Just here for support.

UnitedHealth reported Q2 earnings this morning, and it’s worth looking beyond the headline. Digging in we see: Highlights: Revenue: $111.6B (+14%) Adjusted EPS: $6.38, well above expectations Medical Loss Ratio: 86.7%, better than... — read more

I am seeing a lot of people sharing recent leadership that has left recently with no announcement just no longer here. Please share who you know has left and it will give us all an idea on how many.

Men aren't hired - Maybe some, Not many, look around in your teams honestly.

Anyone know when we will know if we are safe or not? Sure heard first week of August but how is that when they keep changing the dates of everything else?

This is psychological warfare extending the date two weeks. If anyone gets emails and could tell us the role you’re in and if you get approved, that would be helpful. This is beyond fu---d up. That place is fu--ing garbage.

Anyone willing to share what area they are in (keeping in mind this is all anonymous)? Clearly, not all of us are receiving information at the same time. I wonder why they're staggering the information that's going out to people who applied.

Just got an email asking what separation date I would choose. I am in a role that needs staggered separation dates. Sept 2026 December 2026 March 2027 May 2027 August 2027 November 2027

Just curious, any departments getting word of additional duties? If so, list your dept. and if comfortable, your additional duties.

I didn't take the VSP benefits package. So when do I find out or when do they do those cuts.

So why wouldn't we be notified of the people leaving or changes in leadership if we work in PHCO? Also I don't have a town hall marked in my calendar for the 29th either..is this corporate or specific PHCO departments?
