I have seen team after team's work get stolen by ireland or India, and then those teams dismantled. US employees, when your team starts interacting with ireland or india in anyway way, know that their goal is to acquire your work so that your job... — read more
Transfer to role
Care coordinator role for post acute care. Anyone have any info on the job? Yay or nay
Mr. Hemsley…
Stop this madness. Pseudo leaders are gaming the system. Dedicated resources are sidelined or laid off. Sycophancy is the name of the game. This will end worse than your experience at Enron. STOP THIS NOW.
RRP Question
Do employees from companies that Optum has acquired receive RRP if salary grade is above a 26?
It looks like I made it through this round
But it doesn’t feel like a win. I really feel for the people who lost their jobs, especially given the current circumstances, and it angers me that so many of them were exemplary employees. I’m not a big fan of my job either. I reached my limit long... — read more

Laid off and aftermath
I was laid off in December. There was no non compete agreement to sign. I had 4 interviews with competitors lined up after the holidays and accepted a role with one to start in February. I brought all of my knowledge with me. And I’m making 15% more... — read more

Housecalls Only
It appears RIFs started in HC today, 2/19. I do not believe anyone was affected or at least reported anything during January. Likely just the beginning of markets’ adjustment. Please share any info as it unfolds.
Optumistic Branding in HQ
Something has to be said about this, everywhere you look it’s the same hollow message plastered everywhere. What’s next? They paint the ceilings orange?
Layoff Thread - 2/16 to 2/20
If you were laid off, could you please state the area you were laid off from and your role or grade level. Just want people to keep informed.
Layoffs
Anymore layoffs today in E&I specifically in tech ?
Lost 2 people on my team today
This is the second time within months our team was hit. How are we supposed to do our jobs and remain sane when layoffs are now basically a monthly occurrence?
If you’re laid off, start your own company!
I’m sorry to hear about all the layoffs people are experiencing. My advice is that because your experience is valuable, especially you folks who have been working here for 10, 20, 30 years, you should either A) Start your own company (for behavioral... — read more

If we don't get one this evening, can we still get it in the morning?
Common review and not a boss baddie
Some of the WFH bosses don't even have fingers. I wouldn't sweat it. Just milk them dry. Just a bunch of old washed up hussies on an ego trip. The experience is more complimentary on a resume then a .50 raise.
Another new Optum CA Prez?
Isn't this the 3rd new Optum CA president in less than a year??? Or am I getting confused?
