Layoffs.

I would like to think I’m fairly high up on the food chain. I will tell you that there is no indication of layoffs so people need to stop scaring each other on this website. No funding at HHS has been cut yet, and nothing that is going to affect a... — read more 

GCO layoffs

How is GCO government consumer operations being affected? I heard some no longer have team leads. What happened to the team leads?

Things are falling apart here

Years ago, at least it felt like this job had some heart. People were trying to do their jobs while using some empathy, if nothing else. Now, nobody cares, and the whole place feels hollow and toxic. It’s getting worse by the day.

I’m having the mother of all burnouts

At this point? Let it come. A layoff wouldn’t be a setback, it’d be a full-blown rescue mission. Honestly, if they handed me a box and walked me out tomorrow, I’d probably thank them for the favor.

This is too much

Two people quit last month, and all their work landed on me. Management’s brilliant solution was to tell me to "just prioritize." As if I hadn’t already been skipping lunches and answering emails at midnight. How do they expect us to keep functioning... — read more 

Why bother, really?

I’ve been pushing myself for years, late nights, weekends, going above and beyond, but it doesn’t seem to matter. Promotions go to the same people, and real advancement feels out of reach. It’s frustrating to give so much and feel completely stuck... — read more 

Helping two members at a time on chat

Who else has to do this and reply withing 30 seconds and keep two different policies straight and then at the end of the chat they get to score you and you get written up if you get anything below 10. Where did this metric come from? Who ever made... — read more 

Don't envy the remotes

Working here remotely has been draining. It feels like I’m juggling the workload of three people every single day. I barely get time to breathe between calls. Breaks? Forget it. Most days I eat lunch at my desk while catching up on emails. Management... — read more 

Why are some of you so eager to get laid off?

Seriously, what is wrong with you? Do you not realize what the job market looks like right now? I've been trying to find something for almost a year, and let me tell you, it su-ks. You do not want to be unemployed in this environment. The only people... — read more 

Its cruel to be left in limbo.

It’s not just inconsiderate, it’s downright disrespectful. And honestly, it feels deliberate. Keep people on edge, constantly anxious and uncertain, and they’re easier to control. Easier to make them grateful for the crumbs that fall off the table... — read more 

Steve Hemsley Email

Anybody else get the email from Steve Hemsley today about navigating through extraordinary challenges lol?

Am I the only one who likes working here?

I keep seeing posts on this site saying things like “I’d work at Walmart before I ever work at UHC again” and “this company treats its employees horribly”. I guess it really depends on your specific job and manager, but I’ve never felt that way. .. — read more 

Quitting with no notice?

Hello, I’ve been here for a little over a month and really don’t want to stay. If I quit without a notice will that mark me as non rehire-able?

Off shore

As one of the people who was able to locate a different job when they announced the layoff… I am not working for a providers office. Let me just say I see why providers get so upset with UHC and its other entities. At MINIMUM we have to call in 4x... — read more 

They got rid of MyHR clock!

As of this morning the clock is GONE. Also if you look on Sparq there is a notice in RED "Employee Center is experiencing high call volume, please open a case online. Due to the volume, response times will be delayed. You can also find MyHR time... — read more 

Just lay us off already

It won’t be long before we see another layoff. I am in GCO core services, and the navigation model is far from what it use to be. I make 50+ outbound calls a day, I am lucky if 3 people answer. Then we get yelled at because members don’t answer, you... — read more 

Hybrid only required to RTO?

Is this confirmed? There is an article in the MN Star Tribune that confirms that HYBRID workers are being required to RTO. Not anyone who is an official/permanent telecommuter. Not that it couldn't change, but it isn't everyone. OP:... — read more 

We might just be working for the Devil

Every time I look up our company in the news, or get an email about how to handle something, I just see more and more how evil this company actually is. I received notice today that if a member moves from one plan to another to get better coverage... — read more

Lakeside Systrack systems

Anyone know what is lakeside software systrack systems management agent? Looks like it’s a tracking software that just got installed in my laptop.

United for Giving (Benevity) BEWARE

After years of giving I had a non profit reach out to me about a check they received. Evidently, Benevity takes a large cut of our donation match and the recipients just receive a check in the mail with no explanation, no contact information, and... — read more 

Repetitive Rejections for Internal Positions

What's this about? A lot of the positions I've applied to, I've been fully qualified for. Hope this has nothing to do with me and just the current state of UHC. Anyone else running into this, when this never happened before?

Leave, leave now

Took a pay cut for a smaller company and holy cr-p what a difference. People actually say good morning here. Managers ask about your weekend. No more getting yelled at for taking a sick day. Didn't realize how toxic UHG was till I left. Mental health... — read more 

Aug 7th layoff? What area? Anyone?

When are they planning to give us an update? It’s unclear how they can hire and still be firing. This uncertainty is stressful, and we deserve clarity in the coming months. I haven’t seen anything about it on social media. Has anyone else heard... — read more
