UnitedHealth laying off 30-35k employees by May 1
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoWow, that’s a lot of people. It’s really sad to see a move like this despite their year over year of record profit growth.
- RandomUser4976 2y agoEasier to deny claims with less employees since claims review can be auto-magically programmed to deny by default. No human intervention needed. Profits continue to increase, USA GDP increases… everyone wins, right? Right?!?!?
- RobotCaleb 2y agoI like to share this because not everybody is aware. If you can count it, it's fewer. Fewer employees, but less salt.

I didn’t realise we differentiated like this in English until I was taught that many is många if you can count it or mycket if you can’t, then a Swedish friend pointing out to me that they learn English the same way I’ve eaten too many apples. I’ve got too much time to kill. Less & fewer work the same. Language is fun!

- RobotCaleb 2y agoThat was great, thank you for sharing that.
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoRight…right but also, F**k this company.
- gfkclzhzo 2y agoMeanwhile, in bizarro world - The federal government starts a single payer healthcare system, creating a giant new agency and tons of federal jobs. UnitedHealth and related companies are doged, with the bulk of the fired employees taking jobs our new NHS. Efficiency gains result in a 1% reduction in federal healthcare spending, and all of it is put into a 10000000% increase of the NOAA budget with a mandate to solve global warming.
