Any news on additional layoffs to Recruiters or TA overall?

I’ve not heard of any roles in OT or OHCT being cut. I know some people have mentioned postponements. Wondering if anyone has heard anything about these areas?

Do some looking at various organizations. Unable to access Dirk’s org at all and others under him are returning “we couldn’t find any results in people for XYZ’s organization” message.

Just received an email to send my boss' boss a copy of my last score. Ugh.

From what I've been reading, older employees are the ones being affected the most. Is this true?

Unless it's time for layoffs. Then, suddenly it's all business and we shouldn't take it personally. What a bunch of crock.

If only the severance pay would be a little more generous... I am very worried about what will happen if I get laid off because I don't believe that the severance pay will help me enough to cover basic expenses until I manage to find a new job.

Imagine if our leadership respected us enough to let us know what was going on time, whether the news is good or bad? I'd certainly respect them more than I do now when they're keeping us in the dark until the last moment, like the cowards they are... — read more

They don’t care if your productive, what I heard today was executive leadership just looked at a persons length of time with the company and how much they made and based their cuts off that information. If you been here the longest and make decent... — read more

Any chatter about OAH/OTTH layoffs? I’ve been at the company several years, and We are running out of work to do.

At Friday evening 11pm 7/28 I received an email from a few levels up to update my Career Story and learning plan. I’m not sure who else got the same email since it didn’t have my name in it and it was just a general “Hello!” but they are saying it is... — read more

Will this area be hit or has it been hit already? I feel like it will be impacted at some point.

Dedicated for the purpose 8/3 layoffs projected to be announced.

I was laid off today and offered severance. Has anyone successfully negotiated severance with UHC?

I know it's not popular to say, but I need my job and I still enjoy what I do. I see all these people who keep saying they want to be laid off and I can't figure out if they're just posturing, trolling, or being serious. I don't know of a single... — read more

I heard from a lot of people that they would gladly volunteer for severance if only the company would offer that option. Perhaps there are even more of them than ever before? I wonder what would have happened if the company had indeed offered... — read more 

I’ve enjoyed following this for a while. A lot of useful information about the company (and some useless lol). They should send this link to you when you’re hired so you know exactly what you’re getting into before you start. I guess that ruins the... — read more
