Message Was to the markets and other industry leaders to justify the upcoming price increases to employer plans. Also to justify the massive 43M CEO pay. Clearly Savings from “the modest adjustment” barely match these massive pay and bonus c-suite... — read more 

...it feels a little better to know that this company is also sh-----g in it's employees who've been around longer. I feel less picked on. Maybe we have been getting the HCSC experience all along.

Did you know… HCSC recently purchased a new private jet? Surely that will help keep administrative costs down.

Just a reminder that Maurice is the highest paid Healthplan CEO last year at over $40M and today he sent the most insulting, insensitive, nonsensical, uninformative email. It’s time to replace the leadership team.

It's all better now. All is forgiven and we can all just move along like this never happened.

It seems that some people are using this forum to vent personal frustrations rather than to provide constructive feedback. Calling out individuals or departments in an attempt to damage reputations or careers is neither productive nor fair. If you... — read more 

Unfortunately the foot soldiers of the company are the ones suffering. They do the work and still struggle with day to day expenses.

There’s a LinkedIn article circling around my department right now of the top 10 highest paid insurance CEOs of 2024. Good ole Maurice is #1, taking home more than 40 million dollars. Seems to me if he just took a measly pay cut of 10 million he... — read more 

I'm sad about the layoffs. I was laid off from my last role. It was very painful. Very painful. And I had a lot of anger and felt betrayed., I've seen vicious criticisms towards Maurice, Manika, Shannon, John and Kelley. Let's back off the mean... — read more 

Thank god. I feel for everyone who was affected, and I truly hope things work out for each of them. As for the rest of us, we desperately need a breather. Yesterday was brutal, and it takes days to even begin regaining a semblance of normalcy after... — read more 

For those officially let go, please confirm or share if you’ve received official promised email (assuming it’s Docusign) and if it includes list of those titles let go.

Does anybody else find that interesting? I wonder how much they had to pay to keep this under wraps.

Hear me out… as I’m finishing my required mylearnings for showing empathy (let’s all laugh…) I got mad. This was terrible. People are calling it HCSC HUNGER GAMES WEEK. I’m sick to even be here still. How this was done was appalling. “It’s business”... — read more 

Some lost more than half of their teams. What are they supposed to do now?

All of us in-office employees have been standing around talking about this site. There are so many new users here this week, it's going to be the new employee water-cooler going forward.

I hear there's more today so: Title / org and location only.

Our team has it figured out. Since leadership wants us to collaborate face to face, we all show up around 9:30-10:00 a.m. to avoid traffic, stand around visiting for a few hours, all go out to 2 hour team lunches (the restaurants around the office... — read more 

We have fewer people to do the work, processes that are now broken due to missing critical staff, and no official knowledge of who has been let go beyond word of mouth. If we are not in a position to onboard and effectively support new members... — read more 

They need new attrition tactics to keep cutting headcount, preferably on the cheap. I’ve read that designated telecommuters won’t be forced back, but you can bet they’ll create “conditions” that push them out anyway. RTO will be designed to make... — read more 

I have several contractors that I rely on to deliver infrastructure needs, as well as developmental projects. Do I need to start planning to lose them or are they safe presumably until their contract is over?

300 layoffs. Not everybody at the same time. People that has been with the company for more than 10 years were let go just a few days before Open Enrollment. When staff in key positions are let go, it usually signals something beyond “normal... — read more 

I lost my job at the hot chicken sandwich company today. They called it a “strategic restructure.” I called it getting canned from a place that sells spicy bird meat. They pulled me into the “Cayenne Conference Room” — aka the breakroom — and told... — read more 

This is how I will get through staring at their empty desks.

At the risk of sharing too much and outing myself, I feel like it’s important for employees to know that there have been internal discussions for several weeks about preparing for a full return-to-office (RTO) with a target date of 12/01. This shift... — read more 

3 directors laid off in TX (to my knowledge.) What's the overall status, and what areas of Medicaid are to be affected? Executing layoffs during IL RFP is just a poor move.

Why was this not posted on WARN? From the Illinois WARN site: Illinois WARN applies to employers with 75 or more full-time employees (excluding part-time workers) and requires employers to provide 60 days advance notice of pending plant closures or... — read more

Anyone else laid off in the Chicago corp office? Applied at a financial analyst job there, I don’t know what to expect.

Just so people can get the info they are searching for.

Rumors flying all day. Does anyone have information regarding EUC terms?

It'd be weird to be quiet about this. I’ve endured subtle and not-so-subtle racism in my years at HCSC. Microaggressions. Being talked over. Dismissed. Having to defend my competence, explain my presence, constantly prove myself. I got myself in... — read more 

Will someone in the know please share if a VSP is planned and what the terms would likely be? I've seen a few comments that suggest one is coming. I'm not really looking for opinions but for someone who knows to share.

There’s talk about more coming on Monday, but who knows if it’s true. If anyone has solid info, please share. It’d help to know what we’re really walking into.

Are the people that are being laid off from claims, call center, or both?

Did this impact the state plan roles?
