Ditto - 12 years
Same. 5/2 is the day it seems. 12 years in Rx and Technology
F-ck Optum and UnitedHealth. And their leadership.
That’s it. I’m not nor was an employee, just a poorly cared for patient.
Good bye Optum Virtual Care
It was nice meeting eveyone. Got the word today. May 2nd.
This company and its executives are embarrassments.
They are taken and pay ransom, multiple rounds of layoffs, mediocre (at best) middle managers, high pay for the uppers, low pay for the rest. The executive team should be embarrassed.
Just had my Thursday meeting

Protests at Optum today?
Heard there was a protest and police presence at Optum today? Is there any truth to that? I know witty was on site today so wondering if that’s why
Skip level meeting
Does anybody know what this is? I have one on Thursday.
I'm being set up to fail
I've only been here for a year and I feel like I'm being set up to fail, intentionally. Is Optum known for doing this to get rid of people? I'm this close to quitting, that is if they don't fire me first.
