I got an email that my whole team is getting invites tomorrow morning. Not sure how to feel about this.

Confirmed 15 min invite at 8am for HSM’s, DCO’s and ED’s. SW Managers at 11am.

I am saying a prayer for all affected tomorrow. I am not sure if I will be included just waiting to see. This company isn’t right.

I don't know how I'm going to deal with another full day of this dreadful anticipation. I barely slept at all!

I plan to wait out this round of layoffs to see if I am affected (I'm not turning down severance if I don't have to) but if I'm not, I'll be leaving on my own. This work environment and constant layoffs are too stressful for me. I refuse to lose my... — read more 

did anyone get any additional 7/18 meeting invites? any updates?

Any medical coders involved in this round of RIFs?

Do we know how many people are expected to be impacted this Thursday within Optum Tech?

Does anyone out there know which roles will be effected within Landmark and when?! I am exhausted from being a sitting duck! I have heard SW, CM's, CHA managers, CHA's and now I've even heard it may be some of the ED's, NP's and MD's! What is... — read more

So what makes you think there is a massive layoff on Thursday?

I was RIF'd in April but my boss, who was RIF'd too had me lined up to go to another division outside of Optum Tech. I was a GL30 with reports who I had to RIF in the past and the typical method is that on the morning of the RIF an invite comes out... — read more 

Listening to fire side chat… seems to me they want to tighten the reins and use AI to stream line positions. Anyone else see that as well?

Stop working more than your regular hours, stop volunteering to help with things that are not your job, and stop working on weekends/holidays, among other things. I've seen so many people who were burning the candle on both ends for work be laid off... — read more

What's outline of steps that seems typical for lay-offs? Are individual meetings set up first for those let go and then the 'survivor's' meetings happen? Same day? Same week? Anyway to get a sense of what scheduled meetings mean?

Do we have to keep filing our own stuff or is the scan team going bye bye also?

I received a box from UPS stating I need to return my laptop within 5 days. Guess I’m getting laid off on Thursday. I’m a SW with Landmark. This is off the charts disrespectful.

I honestly don’t know how to feel about the coming layoffs. I’m not exactly in the position to be relieved if I lose my job, most of us aren’t. Living costs, debt, extra costs for family, emergency costs, everything most of us have to deal with on a... — read more 

Does the 7/18 everyone keeps stating is the date of layoffs apply to Landmark and if so what roles? The threads seem to be all over the map with who specifically this will impact. TIA

Major changes just announced for OI. No more domains, now just payer and provider. I imagine July 18 makes most sense for any layoffs.
