Anybody have dates ?

Watch your performance and 1:1. They have a few reorganizations so they can cut middle management and other low hanging fruit. The culture sucks!

Anyone who works in HR know anything about whether or not we are going to be required to take the vaccine? I did, but I am worried for a colleague. She is going through IVF right now and worried.

If you've been with UHG for a couple of years you know that no matter what kind of results we are posting, there will be cuts. Good or bad, it makes no difference when it comes to RIFs. The only way to deal with this is to have a plan ready. Always... — read more 

Last week over 130 LHI/Optum employees were laid off. There are more areas under United Health Group that will be laying off before 2021 is over. Toxic Culture.

I am resigning from my position and giving 2 weeks notice. Does UHG ever let people go on day of resignation with or without paying out the 2 weeks?

There is NO rhyme or reason for the layoffs. The CEO received a $52 million dollar bonus YET he has the audacity to let workers go. OGS and USA teams will be laid off in the upcoming months of 2021. He didn't have a good track record with Glasko... — read more 

I've been tasked with training several new hires and for some reason, I have a feeling I might be training my own replacements. I mean, we have been asking for help for a while now but we were being ignored for months and now suddenly we get three... — read more 

They are not done laying off. Clinical Performance will take a hit next then others will follow. They are trimming the fat otherwise known as middle management. Karma comes to those who least expect it. Peace Out!

My department requires we work overtime every week. Has been 1 extra hr a day and now it’s 2 extra a day. How is this legal? It’s for “business needs”, but we have been in overtime since January. Anyone else dept doing this? Working from home as a... — read more 

I thought the relief would come right after I left this company because of the unbearable amounts of stress. This is where I first experienced a panic attack. When I came to the new company 3 months ago, I was stunned at how nice people behaved. The... — read more 

I thought they were done with layoffs this year but they continue to trickle in. I would not recommend this company.

What usually happens with companies that were acquired by UHG? Are layoffs imminent? Anyone can share their experience

Was there a recent layoff for E&I Tier II's? Normally the calls slow down the last 2-3 hours before we close. Now around 4 hrs before we close are queues instantly explode to double digits & the calls are non stop back to back right up till closing... — read more 

I quit during the pandemic. It was nice to give them a big F U! I thought I would leave and be free of the emotional distress. It’s taken me months to recover and I didn’t even know I needed time. Today, I can’t handle stress. I can’t do... — read more 

My position was eliminated April 2021. I had just received an exceeds expectations performance review and a nice raise only to be blindsided 2 months later with a layoff. Why is the company letting go of an employee who performs well? Doesn’t make... — read more 

I left UHG 3 months ago thinking I could have a fresh start with another company. I thought the two weeks off prior to starting with my current company was all I needed to decompress from the emotional and mental exhaustion that I had endured over... — read more 

The worse the company treats the employees, the more layoffs we have, the higher the stock gets. I understand that layoffs and reductions in benefits reduce costs - something investors love - but employees are those who are providing the services... — read more 

Never in my life have I heard such crying. Grow up, no wonder you hate your jobs lmao. Bunch of minions with no control over your lives.

What does it say about a company when its employees are constantly waiting for the next round of layoffs and hoping/praying that they’ll be picked? Every time layoffs happen I always hear how “lucky” those people impacted are. UHG has become such a... — read more 

What was the worst department you worked for or worked with and why? You’re welcome to be as specific or vague as you like.

Seeing how this is the last week in April is anyone aware of more layoffs?

The big perk is it's a US work from home and I know I'll be doing at least 2 long distance moves in the next 5 years. I was also told there's some installation for internet which seems odd. I just hope moving won't be difficult since the job... — read more 

I haven't heard anything about more layoffs any time soon, this is not about that. I'm curious in general about how the whole process plays out just to know what to expect in case I'm affected sometime in the future. I'm interested in details about... — read more 

At most of the companies experience gained by years spent there is valued and rewarded by the leadership. Not here. The longer you’ve been here the bigger the chance of you being laid off with no warning. They don’t see experience, all they see is... — read more

I am going to bet that UHG will start laying off USA workers and hiring OffShore due the Corporate Tax increase.

I’ve been with the company for about 5 years and I’m looking at a few open positions to apply to here. Does anyone know if the entire application process is the same for internal candidates as for external ones? I live in a state where recreational... — read more 

Do they really do a big layoff the same day the earnings report is released? What if the report is favorable?

I’m still safe but I don’t care if they let me know about the layoff very soon or at the end of the month. I have been preparing for a long time because it is clear that the company is slowly sinking. A colleague who was convinced that his position... — read more 

UnitedHealth Group is notorious for laying off in small chunks so April, 2021 they will be letting small groups go so that the public is not alerted and they don't have to report it to DOL.
