So you think UHG realized how big of a mistake it was to mandate the vaccine? The CDC even admitted yesterday that a recent infection provided protection (probably even more than the vaccine). When will they stop treating the unvaccinated like 2nd... — read more

Huge reorg. Quest is being moved to Core Operations under Amy Grant. We are being encouraged to apply for other positions.

ALL companies under UHG (UHC, WellMed, Optum) will have layoffs.... budget cuts.

I don't understand why there's talk about layoffs when we're doing great. The stock is up by nearly 20 percent year-over-year and all I've read about tomorrow's expected earnings are good things. If we are hearing about layoffs when things are going... — read more 

Automation has been talked about a lot for our department and the company as a whole. Will this lead to layoffs? I feel like that could cut my position for this reason.

I'm getting tired of having to deal with all the toxicity, politics, nepotism, bullying, and all the other usual cr-p that comes with working here. I know there has got to be a better alternative (or two) out there, but whatever company I start... — read more 

Just got told recently that the Industry Relations and Pharmacy Guarantee team for OptumRx will be having their jobs outsourced to Ireland in the coming months. Pretty sudden news. So everyone handling contacts, disputes, reporting for the pharmacies... — read more 

I noticed automation has been discussed more for my department. Feeling like my role may no longer be needed because of this. Any rumors about upcoming layoffs?

We are plotting to ALL go to HR to get our bullying, discriminating Boss laid off again! He was laid off before from UHC and somehow he was hired at Optum and NOW promoted to Director... WT4! He harbors a known coworker who yells in meetings... — read more 

I noticed for our weekly meeting that our manager wanted all of us to check out that career goals profile and emphasized that if we wanted to pursue other options we should. I’ve never heard this as a group, the only time my manager talked about it... — read more 

When I first came here, I really believed in the promises they make to employees. At this point however I'm sick of hearing them. Does leadership really think it will maintain morale by constantly making empty promises? Does anyone still believe in... — read more 

I applied and interviewed for a few jobs at UHG and it seemed like the interview went well then all of the sudden all the job statuses said they are moving on with other applicants. I suspect my boss is blocking my job move. Does this happen often? — read more 

I noticed the CEO mentioned implementing more AI instead of human work in claims (in the last Fireside chat). Do you think this change will leak into other departments as wel, such as sales/customer service?

Meeting expectations is not enough. My boss seems to go out of their way to find ways to criticize my work, added with passive/aggressive language. And I feel like I’m the only target. I wish I could know if my coworkers are going through the same... — read more 

Working here I've noticed that UHG almost always has some small layoffs that often get under the radar. This time I’m not so sure that they’re not planning bigger cuts. Any thoughts? Everyone is talking about the recession and the air is thick... — read more 

What departments were hit with layoffs yesterday? Is there a reorganization on the horizon?

It is clear that the company depends on shareholders to buy stock because it is necessary to raise money for growth. However, it is the employees who directly affect profitability. Why then does UHG put shareholders above its employees? I have... — read more 

I’m quitting this company leaving immediately as I just can’t take the toxic management it’s a bad place to work cannot believe how unprofessional it is. Has been affecting my health.

Rumors of layoffs have been running wild lately but most of it boils down to "layoffs are coming." Since there is never a date or a number of people who'll be affected attached to it, I'm not sure how much of it is true and how much is just fear... — read more 

How do people feel that have to do outbound calls?

Now I hope that at least there will be no changes for the worse, not until I find a new job anyway. I guess it won't get any worse? Working here has become really miserable. There used to be more empty promises. There are fewer of those now too. — read more 

I am getting recruited to be a UM RN at United. How is the morale? Are the expectations unreasonable?

Has anyone else noticed that if you don’t pick a specific form of birth control you will be charged even with UHC insurance? I called my insurance and they said that some or-l contraceptives are in different tier lists which is ridiculous. I’ve never... — read more 

A study showed that 90 percent of nurses are considering not just quitting, but altogether leaving the profession in the next year. I know this is true for me and many more I work with. If UHG doesn't pay attention and improves the way it treats us... — read more 

Any news of any changes coming in the company?

I'm so exhausted. But it seems that rarely anyone here is not physically and mentally exhausted? It’s hard to avoid burnout when I constantly have more and more to do. Of course, the company doesn't worry much about that, because they don't... — read more 

I know a lot of people who'd be more than happy to accept. Especially those who are not that far from retirement. That would give UHG what it wants - fewer people on the payroll - and it would save the jobs of those who want to be here. I'm not sure... — read more

What is call work/customer service like with the company? How do you feel about doing that work with UHC compared to places in the past?

I'm on the verge of burnout. The manager has noticed a decline in employee morale because it is impossible not to notice it. Now he is trying to raise morale through managing by fear. Is anyone actually happy in this company and not feeling... — read more 

Annual survey is next month and HR is worried about getting terrible results after the disgusting compensation funding. Lots of meetings with managers to encourage "feel good" actions. Maybe they should just do what they claim they do and actually... — read more

Based on other posts, I wanted to see if anyone had heard anything in the grapevine about Unitedhealthcare hearing? Is there any talk of layoffs there?

When I first got my job here, I was very lucky to have a colleague who was a great guy and an expert from whom I learned a lot. Now that all capable and knowledgeable employees are leaving the company, the question is who will remain to be the... — read more
