Interestingly, of all my colleagues, only those who rarely or never complained have left so far. Gone are the ones I thought were very comfortable here. On the other hand, those who are constantly complaining are still there. Most spend too much... — read more
Telecommuter leaving UHG
Are telecommuters required to return all of the office and desk equipment they were issued by the company when they leave? I know I’ll have to send my laptop and corporate ID back, but curious if anyone was required to return their monitors... — read more
I've been gone for six months and I'm still feeling the effects of working here
I had to go through nine years of manipulation, gaslighting, and bullying, all aimed at ensuring I am always at work, always doing several jobs at the cost of my free time and my family. And what for? Low pay and no chance of promotion? I was... — read more
People leave and there is nobody to cover their work
That too is happening here. A colleague has left and for days now no one is able to cover her work. This is just one of the many consequences of terribly poor organization and poor management. No one can cover her work because everyone is already... — read more
Smaller companies offering better benefits
As long as there are enough of us who will work and give our best, despite the fact that people in much smaller companies often have better benefits than we do, nothing will change here. It saddens me terribly to hear that smaller companies value... — read more
What would motivate them to make a change?
In fact, nothing has changed here for a long time. The same problems are always present. Additional problems are piling up. People leave dissatisfied with pay and the general way the company treats employees. Now that the best have gone and when it... — read more
March 2022 re-org?
Anyone hear through the grapevine?
The company is losing the best people
Even those whom I thought would stay here for a long time are leaving now. I think this says a lot about the current state of United health. Not only those who are completely undervalued here are leaving the company, but also those who were very... — read more
Serious Question- Why is United Health so cheap and do they get away with it
Just spoke to a recruiter about a job that is maybe 30 K below market average. Is United really this cheap, if so how do they have so much profit? And what are the advantages of working at United versus other insurance carriers?
I don’t remember the last time I was relaxed here
I know that no job is stable. However, in my case it all comes down to the fear of losing my job. Perhaps it was only a few months after I first came here that I was relaxed, and ever since then I’ve been constantly worried about whether I’ll be the... — read more
HR is awful

We are all replaceable
It’s the bitter truth and it always surprises me when someone doesn't realize it. It doesn't matter to this company how loyal you are, how hard you work, how much effort you put in and do a great job. They will replace you in an instant. What else... — read more
Illegal Access to Personal Mbl Grounds for Lawsuit
If you do not give the company access to your personal phone (i.e do NOT use Sparq or other company software) then they can be sued in a Federal Court. I know of at least one Associate Director who logs into employees computers AND their personal... — read more

Not a good sign
Did it get quiet here because the layoffs started or is it calm before the storm? Many have talked about the big layoffs that could happen this month, but everything around me is still calm. I still haven't received a notice or heard from any of... — read more
All those reorgs..
Sometimes I think that the leadership does not even know what it wants from this company. I don't think they have a goal or a vision. How else to explain so many reorgs one after another, after which it only gets worse, and little or nothing changes... — read more
Premiums and profits go up
I think it's ridiculous my premiums are going up by quite a bit yet they posted over $250bn in profits this year. What the he-l.
How can it all be done by one person?
I can’t even describe how much work I have to do every day. If I worked so much in a better company, I would be promoted and rewarded very quickly. Here, of course, I am getting none of that. But what interests me, is, have they completely lost... — read more
Telecommuting and Salary
Is UHG trying to depress salary range of external hires by lowering salary for telecommute?
Minorities in the Workplace
Do you ever feel like you were made to work harder because of your ethnicity? I believe my boss did. She demanded more of me and since I left, my peers have called me and confirmed my feelings without even knowing I felt this way. She comes out... — read more
We're all on our way out
UHG = always understaffed, always overworked, always micromanaged, always yelled at. I'm yet to find one employee who had the option to leave and didn't take it. The rest of us are just waiting for our opportunity to present itself. Nobody in their... — read more

Working in such conditions is not worth the effort
The first thing I look for now when I want to send a job application is insider information on how stable the job is. I am sick of the instability here. Being underpaid, overworked, I would put up with all that just to have the feeling that my job... — read more
I hope it's just a malicious rumor
Are you also hearing more and more rumors that there could be RIFs by the end of the year? I hope that's not true. No need to worry in advance, but layoffs would totally bring me down during the holidays.
