The tumbleweeds of corporate apathy blow through the dusty cubicles of MCOs, where a high-noon showdown of epic proportions is brewing. Our heroes, the noble employees, have adopted the "quiet quitting" strategy, expertly toeing the line between... — read more 

Reading all these posts about Optum (and I agree with ALL of them) show how poorly the employees are treated. If I were families or a patient getting services by this company I would be SUPER concerned about the type of care I was receiving by... — read more 

In the hallowed halls of Optum, trust is a currency rarer than a unicorn sighting. The walls have ears, and every whispered conversation is a potential career death sentence. Ideas, once nurtured with hope and enthusiasm, are swiftly snatched by... — read more 

looks like the CHAs live to see another day? Almost 1pm and still no email or meetings

Must be the weather up where the "leadership talent" are hired near and around Minnesota HQ. Staying indoors for 6+ months of the year, all these "leaders" can do, is lie to themselves, each other, and others consistently. Pretty sure these leaders... — read more 

Sources report that the dreaded June 13th has arrived at Optum, and the first wave of "volunteers" for the Optum Games have been selected. Whispers in the hallways speak of tearful goodbyes, frantic desk-clearing, and the ominous sound of HR's... — read more 

Whoever is getting RIFed, I wish you all the luck and hope you will be back on your feet in no time. To the rest, there will be workload multiplied by the number of people being let go, and also a prolonged reorganization, so whoever is still here... — read more 

There’s been talk of the CHAs being laid off and I’m just wondering if that’s true? I’ve heard it’ll be in July, but I’ve also heard the managers will go in July with the CHAs following in Sept. Does anyone know what’s actually going to happen with... — read more 

So sorry to hear this is still happening to more folks. Not too worry you will be better off in the long run trust me! Please post position and depts affected

Guess thats it. I am so depressed. I don’t know how I will handle this.

Anyone have any dates as far as when they will layoff more? Also who is more likely to get laid off?

some senior leaders are leaving the Customer Office as announced today. "We're gonna stabilize and improve the culture on the team." ...like when?

U.S. law states data breaches must be reported to individual patients within 60 days of discovery. February 21 discovered the data breach. Today is more 60 days? Someone is not doing the math or just letting off the hook? Things never going to change... — read more 

I heard that 6/20 is gonna be light and that 6/27 is going to be the heaviest with numbers. Multiple segments across the board impacted by this. It was also advised that those selected could have MAP scores of even 3+ to cut more dead weight so a... — read more 

Rumor has it CHA’s are being laid off tomorrow, June 13th. Anyone else hearing the same?

Am I the only one experiencing a lack of Multi-Factor Authentication when logging in to benefits.cobra.uhg? I thought all of those gaps were closed, based on the congressional hearing?

Frankly, I hate this job and this place. Anyone can share any info on the outlook out there? Job market doesn’t look good, but that doesn’t have to mean anything in our line of work. I’m planning to scout the ground before quitting, but any... — read more 

Heard in a previous post there will be a large 7/18 layoff. Anyone know which departments will be affected?

It’s incredible how the focus is selling a brand and stock. When you hear the leaders talk about how Optum's work it’s a different world than the field work.

Does anyone have solid info if layoffs will happen this coming Thursday?

Do you guys have any business segments you’d like to see over turned? If so please comment them below! Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to hit the resign button, it wouldn't let me. I tried to contact HR you can't get a person on the phone. Sc--w my manager. So I just turned my computer off, has anyone else done this? How long before they figure out I'm not turning it back... — read more 

Why is it the worst people I’ve worked with here in my 8 years time have all been from Florida?

Where can I sell patient information and company software details at/to? I prefer a rival company but I’m not opposed to dark web. Any information would be appreciated.

Humana is not renewing a couple states for 2025. (Plus BCBSM is leaving.) Not looking good for Navi in the layoff environment.

Are SW managers with Landmark getting laid off next week?

The Reaping is nigh! Mark your calendars for July 13th, 2024 because that's when Lady Luck (or perhaps not-so-Lady Luck) will decide who gets to volunteer for the prestigious (and slightly terrifying) Optum Games. Who wants to volunteer?

Has anyone ever been rehired after collecting severance? I'm applying back in after May 2 layoff. I know some will think that's crazy, but I have 15yrs in, and would like to keep that tenure and benefits, and I also need a paycheck!!! I am also... — read more

Is anyone having an issue getting unemployment benefits? I was told that earnings for several quarters in 2023 and 1st of 2024 were not submitted. Is anyone else having trouble?

What I can't understand is the Board condoning his reckless and sordid business strategies. Governance with a palpable void of moral development!
