Thoughts on Steve Hemsley email? … difficult challenges and decisions…be the leading AI-first healthcare company

I want to see the disparities.

Every company I look at is either frozen, shrinking, or only taking a handful of new employees.

Any departments still receiving raises and bonuses?

You never know when you might get laid off. There's an axe constantly hanging over your head. This is no way to work or live.

I see on both this board and the Optum one (there is not one for UMR unfortunately so wasn't sure where to post this). I did not get any emails about the removal of RRP but am within the pay grades that have been mentioned. Does anyone know if UMR is... — read more

Posted for months, jet mechanic for 3 different private company jets out of MN. Tip I'm no CFO but maybe sell the corporate jets instead of layoffs onshore.

Anymore upcoming layoffs in GCO?

Trying to stay calm, but the timing couldn’t be worse. My wife’s pregnant and the bills are piling up. I was loyal, always went above and beyond. Getting laid off felt like a slap in the face. It’s clear now as it has ever been, this place never... — read more 

Just a reminder that HR works to protect the company first, not you. I learned that the hard way after thinking they were there to help. Be careful what you share. Their main goal is to avoid legal trouble, not to support employees.

As an employee of 27 years I am saddened by the way this company has been ran for the past 15 years or so. What once was a decent company, and one I was proud to say I worked for, I am now embarrassed to admit who my employer is, when asked. Witty... — read more

Has that been confirmed?

With today’s email, when do you think layoffs will happen? August or Sept? Seems like October would be way delayed.

I left the company back in May for a different one after seven years of being chained to my desk with idle/locked time, conformance ect... Couldn't be happier!!

There are about 20 new job postings in GLs 29-32 as of today (7/28) in property management. That seems like a lot for just RTO for MN and DC, hmm?

Seems like some other areas are too. Offshoring strikes again.

I know some departments have a big thing tomorrow praying for all those hit.

Has anyone ever been on an CAP? Does that mean termination is pretty much in the works?

Layoffs before Q2 earnings report. They have always had a pattern of layoffs before earning reports. Is it going to stay same for this earnings report!?
