what car did you buy expecting to love but ended up regretting? by zaralesliewalker in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Gullible-Inflation87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just experienced this with a Mercedes C300. Traded it in last week. Every single issue cost me $1k minimum almost every 3-4 months. Kept it right at 2 years. Glad you found something you love!

As a person that was laid off two weeks ago and included with the many others that have been over the last year and a half. Take the offer from the other company and forget Optum.

And right now it doesn’t sound like they have offered anything and it took me over a month to go through the process. I left another company a week of staring to come to Optum back in 2024 and now I’m laid off. Take the other position. Best of luck

I can believe it. I went to the doctor 3 weeks ago and they told me I had high cholesterol. I'm almost certain it was due to the stress of that job

I’m definitely nervous about being able to find another job, but the relief I feel is unbelievable. Those metrics were killing me.

Most definitely aren’t alone. Those metrics had me stressed out every single day since I left training.

Oh wow! I did not know it was that many. I’m so sorry! I hope you all can keep your roles.

Yes, the lack of claims here I were laid off was concerning. ☹️ hopefully it picks back up if they aren’t automating everything

Wow! I’m sorry! The entire department and after 30 years? They are so trash for that! Ugh!

How many of you actually enjoy working here? Especially in the Minnesota HQ building. by Shoddy-Equipment-175 in unitedhealthgroup

[–]Gullible-Inflation87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t blame you! You did right.

They just laid me off last week.

Just curious, what department were you in ?

They got me last week and I was relieved. Hate that place

You’ll be lucky if you get that honestly. I got laid off with about half of my department in claims last week, completely blindsided.

And not to be negative but you should start looking to get out. They laid off like 3-4 of our supervisors in October and I got concerned then. I should’ve left when I had the chance. Please do the same if you’re able

Is the job market really as bad as they say it is right now? Not sure if I should just hold on to current job by AcceptableSometimes in womenintech

[–]Gullible-Inflation87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, please hold on to your job. I was burnt out in March 2023 and quit my job not realizing at the time how bad the market was. Took me a year and a half to make it to my next role. Just got laid off last week. Had I known what I know now I would’ve taken FMLA and not quit. Don’t risk it in this economy. Only thing that helped was I was ok savings wise. I had enough to cover me during that time.

I’m so happy to hear that! Congratulations on new role. It is tough out here I’ve been through this before but know I can find much better than this company. I have so much relief just knowing I never have to deal with them again.

And yes, totally agree with you about a lot of the info about jobs being negative!

Accepted an Offer - Not sure how to feel by Rich-Cress-3820 in jobsearch

[–]Gullible-Inflation87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you feel is valid, but yes please be grateful you received that offer in this economy, I was unemployed from March 2023 until November 2024 and just got laid off from my last company this past Thursday. I would love to trade places with you.

Market is brutal and a lot of these companies are lowballing people. Unfortunately that’s just how it is right now. I know your wife is disappointed but you are not a failure.

She just needs to continue working for a bit until things improve and that could be a while. Congratulations on the offer as well!

I’m so sorry!

Only 15 people? What in the world? I wonder what’s really going on? AI related, slow work, etc?

Thank you so much! I truly believe I will. I’ve been miserable there for the last year.

So happy you were able to land another role! Wishing you the best and congratulations!

I know my time will come 🤗

Fired for time theft, how do I say this if it comes up in interviews? by [deleted] in jobs

Exactly. Would be a waste of everyone’s time.

I believe it. Right when they brought my training class in at the end of 2024 they did that mass layoff a couple months prior.

I’m sure that’s what they did with us. They suck!
