Merit pool is horrible this year. A lot of 3's are getting close to nothing and then they expect to score high EXI. Feel bad for gl 26 and below because they were supposed to get consistent raises but now they lose out on RRP and only get 1%.

I’m debating whether to sell my UNH stock now or wait until after the earnings report. If it’s going to tank next week, I’d rather sell it now and be done with it.

Like surely the company wouldn't allow us to hire someone, and then immediately tell us we need to lay people off... right?

I keep hearing that the reason this company does layoffs is to help the stock price. But since they never do a formal press release announcing the layoffs, how can layoffs possibly affect the stock? I thought the whole point of laying people off a... — read more 

Does anyone know if the company mails out W2s prior to January31st?

Trumps Healthcare Bill Trump announced today a plan to reduce healthcare costs (great!). He seemed to take aim at taking money out of the hands of insurance companies. Do you think this will mean more layoff at UHG/Optum?

what is something out of the norm that they’ve never done before that you’re noticing that’s happeningy? Is this something out of the norm for you and this time of the year?

Is it a flat amount, or does it depend on years of service and grade level?

Thoughts on the 1199SEIU union? Can it save jobs from being outsourced or is it too late?

I know it can be a stressful time with all the changes happening with Medicare and Medicaid at the end of the month. I've been hearing some concerns about potential reorganizations, and I understand how unsettling that can be. If anyone has any... — read more

Have you heard anything about potential UnitedHealth layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

what were your thoughts on the email that Steve sent today?What inspiring ideas did the email from Steve spark in you today?

I know Hemsley sent an email a few months ago that said we have something like 370,000 employees. But approximately how many of those are in the US? And what do you think the split is between employees of UHC and Optum?

Anyone know if they will layoff non RN MSW coordinators? They hired many bachelors level social workers and other specialities under old guidelines… merged the care coordinator and service coordinator role and said those non RN MSW were... — read more 

I’d really like to hear your thoughts about our situation in this department. It’s important to me that we’re honest with each other. Do you think it would be better for us to move on as soon as we secure another job, or should we hold out for... — read more 

Has anyone else noticed there are hardly any senior people left on the teams? Now most people have ten years of experience at most. I think the last round of layoffs and restructuring pushed a lot of the veteran employees out. Without them, there's... — read more 

It feels like the Voldemort (Mr H) and Grindelwald (Mr. Witty still in the background?) are either very disconnected or have evil agenda to drive this company to the ground. How can any leader (even the unqualified ones) can do so much damage to the... — read more

After the merit inconsistencies last year, some groups losing bonuses, and now the 401k match being reduced, it feels like employees keep taking the hits. And during the town halls, the leadership messaging doesn’t seem to land anymore. There’s a big... — read more 

I got softly notified that more RTO is coming for big offices like Cypress, CA. Similar context to MN and DC RTO and it will be in effect Feb or Mar 2026.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Even Clark received a Jelly of the Month Club subscription! And let me tell you, giving us a T-shirt feels like a consolation prize after you decided to downsize the 401(k). We deserve better!

Maybe I’m naive, but I joined UHC in the BT era and my first town hall was one where he announced everyone was getting $50 to the UHC store to buy some swag. Then it was the new floating holiday. Just felt like the all employee meetings had energy... — read more

They aren't going to let up. Let the decreasing 401k match be a clue as to how RRP and Merit funding will be this year. By decreasing the 401k match by 1%, they on average TOOK $1,000 dollars from a UHG employee making contributions. Compound... — read more
