Hi,
I’ve received an offer from Optum with a joining date of 24th Dec. HR told me that my manager wants to connect before joining and has scheduled a call for Monday as part of pre-joining formalities.
Has anyone experienced a similar manager call at Optum?
Is it usually just an introduction/onboarding, or can it turn into another interview?
Would appreciate your insights.

Just a connect, not an interview.

It’s called a ‘keep warm’ connect to ensure that you don’t join any other company. It’s just a check in call, not an interview. Use this opportunity to get to know your manager and ask questions about your new role

What role and team are joining?

What is the appropriate thing to do in this situation ?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?
