You need to understand about the business of companies doing layoff. Meta shares down by 75% in last 1 year. Twitter became private. Similar with staffing companies like PS and EPAM who lost a lot of projects..
Now google UHG financial report and stock price trend in last 5 years. You will get your answer

Thanks 😊 This is such a relief ☺️

Not sure in US, but no layoffs or any such thing in India. Infact saw a LinkedIn post where Optum recruiter's are asking to send profile of those who are paid off

For your job security and WLB wise it is very good company and also there is no bench concept in optum...

UHG has nothing to do with OPTUM , its funny how people relate UHG business with optums performance and stats. Nowhere in your internal business financial report(circulated via email every quarter) you'd see UHG business number. Optum is UHG's captive and it doesn't just handles UHG's project it has many other outsourcing clients as well. So to answer your question rampdown downsizing would merely only depend on the project you've been assigned to.

Your variable pay would also depend on the business that Optum has done not on UHG's growth/business numbers. So everyone out there please don't blindly follow what HR's feed you do your own research

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.
