What's going on in pharmacy in reference to layoffs? I'm in the HD space...should I be concerned? It has changed so much.
Off shore reps
UHC is really getting what they pay for these offshore reps. Called in 6 times to get the same rep repeatedly who thought it was cute to transfer me to random departments and even bcbs rather than assist me. Even giggled on the phone about it. Since... — read more
Should I accept the job offer?
I've been getting rejected for months and this was the second company willing to interview me and the only one to result in an offer. I've only done low call volume outbound calls in Medicaid and this Customer Service Rep role says it's 60-80 inbound... — read more

ESPP and retirement income
Anyone else kicking themselves for not selling EOY 2024? I invested 6% since working here and lost half. Now with the lesser match w/401k, I plan on pulling the plug once (if it does) hit 400 on ESPP. I can't imagine how people close to retiring... — read more
WFH
Looks like all hybrid workers are going back into the office quarter by quarter. Next will be telecommuters.
AI job shrinkage
Did you know that United is licensing AI software from Amazon? This software allows call center representatives in other countries to speak, and it alters the tonality and accent of the voice. This is to prevent American citizens from knowing they... — read more
Job search tip
Best advice I can give: look now, not later. Searching while you have a job puts you in a way better position. You can be pickier, you're not desperate. Don't wait until it's too late.

The optum board is always more alive than this one or UHCs. What are the thoughts on 2/19? Per the Optum board big layoffs that day? For UHG/UHC?
Lessons learned before I go
Since I'm leaving, figured I'd share what I wish I'd known. Don't trust promises from above. Keep receipts because people will throw you under the bus. Management won't protect you. HR protects the company. Have a good life.
CAP Plan
I’m going to say what a lot of people are thinking but no one is saying out loud. Why is “CAP” suddenly being mentioned in almost every group meeting lately? We’re repeatedly told “it’s not a bad thing,” but historically, CAP has been used as... — read more
Merit Delay
Anyone else find it sus that merit got delayed to 2/16? That aligns with multiple reports of layoffs on 2/16. People on my team are hearing the managers are going to deliver severance papers instead of merit to those who are being let go. Normally I... — read more
Quiet
Wondering if any noise around layoffs coming before the common reviews are completed. I thought they were to be scheduled this week or next week? It seems so quiet and slow.
Thoughts & Opinions
How are folks feeling about these cr-ppy raises & no bonuses/low bonuses? Are people planning to stick around ? Do you think you’re getting laid off soon? Things aren’t looking so good right now and everyone from my team is getting anxious
I had a great interview and waited 2 months long for them to tell me the early careers team in my area was full and they couldn’t offer me
Why even post a position when they had a reduction in staff rolls available for this year? I’m assuming due to layoffs.
Honest answers only.
For those who were laid off — especially in Medicare/Medicaid Member Services (Community & State): Looking back now, what were the real signs you were about to be laid off? Not rumors. Not assumptions. Actual changes you noticed in hindsight —... — read more

Is anyone’s noticing their department is going broke? India team is only growing larger but we are all of a sudden out of funds to host any events, cater , etc. Oh & dont forget the .1% raise that we are all anticipating.

Is it over?
Holy Cow this company is cooked. Absolutely rutterless townhall talking about AI. I wouldn't be surprised if this company chapter 11s in the next 3 years. And Optum is sold off for scraps.

Thoughts on today's email?
What do you think? Compared to the past emails? After the earnings call?
Why is this company so tone deaf?
Stock is down nearly 20% today and the message from the top is about mission and culture and embracing AI. Only one sentence about Medicare rate notice. If anyone watched the Capitol Hill hearing from last week, both parties are gunning for us. Yet... — read more
