Anyone have any inside scoop on what will be happening with navi? I’m sure there’s more layoffs to come, but what about the actual work we do? Who will take over? People working directly under optum? Are contracts not being renewed so there will be... — read more
Claim to be transparent what a joke!
For a leadership team that claims to be transparent that couldn’t be more further from the truth. Town hall and multiple meetings insuring staff that “if you are willing to learn something new, there is a place for you” or “there are going to be so... — read more

Optum’s Acquisition of Landmark Health
Was this a seek and destroy effort? Maybe the intention was never success and growth into home based medical but to take out the company with the greatest reach and destroy it? The new reorganization is doomed. Decision makers have no clue how the... — read more

Anyone do Redployment?
Curious if anyone that participated in redeployment has actually been offered a spot? They said they were placing 2 out of 3 people that were let go...... I'm not seeing anyone getting offers. A friend today was told that 4,141 people applied for the... — read more
Optum shedding contracts 2024
Look it up yourself for some of you "know it alls". What does this mean? Figure it out people. No contracts equal No jobs. Not sure why leadership isn't discussing with teams. So sad but I'm betting a massive layoff or RIF again. July is probable... — read more
Where are all the “supposed” leaders???
Who is driving the bus?…….off the cliff??…… and why?? This company is run by toddlers who lack the foresight to put together any type of plan of action. The most reactive leadership(and I use that word with extreme prejudice) I have ever... — read more

Almost feel bad for Witty.... Almost
He's getting blasted from both sides. But I haven't heard the magic word that truly caused this nightmare. OUTSOURCING. The "stolen credentials" where not stolen they were given away by an Indian resource (he was paid off) that should have never had... — read more
Burnout job
Am I the only one who feels like this has become a burnout job both mentally and physically? I dread every new workday to the point that I feel physically sick. I'm honestly not sure how long I'll be able to continue doing this. I've been here for... — read more
show me you want to appear that you care but you really don't care or want to take responsibility
"thank you for your question...." how many times did AW say this in response to difficult questions???!!
Ridiculous cuts and spending
How can a company cut lay off staff with no regard to company spending? The Las Vegas leadership was seen partying it up last night in a suite paid by the company for the Golden Knights game. How is this ok?

RVPs Next
I heard they are looking at the RVPs. They have slowly RIF’d these positions in the past year. It’s a “gaggle of hens” who have no idea what their team does. Only a few are good and need saving but these upper middle management have zero solutioning... — read more

What's the point of layoffs if you're getting rid of your best people?
It's not rocket science
Optum has become way too top-heavy, reduce the amount of leadership you have. They spend their days in meetings and moving apps around on their desktops. When one of their reports comes to them with a problem, they don't have the answer because they... — read more

I work on the UHC HEDIS team; we are just wrapping up the chart chase for the year. I have heard from a former co-worker that NCQA is saying that the HEDIS hybrid will be eliminated by 2030. UHC leadership has not addressed this with us at all. Has... — read more

Hearing senior community care has more coming in July. This time clinical, Sam’s, Sims and other back office staff will be consolidated and many will be gone. Oh the joys of working at Optum. Hope to get out before you should to
Care coordinators
Should care coordinators at Optum be worried about the layoffs?
Severance calculation
Can anyone tell me at what week severance pay is calculated? Is it the last few weeks of “employment” after a lay off? Or after the official final day of work?
Should CHAs be worried?
There is talk of merging markets in Landmark. Our market is planning to merge with our neighboring market and I’m wondering if they plan to get rid of the CHAs altogether or just condense them? They say they need us for collaboration with hospitals... — read more
