iCARE. What a crock.

I found myself in the unemployment line as well once, and I worked through all the emotions - so I understand many of your posts. However, you never know who may be listening and might be able to help!!! I happen to be assisting an Innovative Medical... — read more 

John Hammergren Company: McKesson Compensation: $51.7 million John Hammergren, CEO of the pharmaceutical and medical device distributor McKensson, has not only one of the highest pay packages in corporate America, but one of the most generous golden... — read more 

I was on a conference call with a bunch of Biologics folks, right after we acquired them. They were talking about talent development, skills, and how hard they worked to develop a culture of innovation, employee engagement and exchange of ideas. I... — read more 

No layoffs and going strong

Every company that McKesson gobbled up has slowly but surely gone in the sh--ter. They buy up companies that are actually worth something and making money then from that point forward it's downhill... Why? They should stick to pushing pills and... — read more 

This the most poorly executed layoff I have ever seen. Dragging it out for over a week, sending morale into the dumper. Obviously the fat cat executives don't care at all about their employees.

From Glassdoor, it's an employee review - we know it but it's good to share anyway, it shows you how people see MCK, especially as it relates to job cuts: This company has changed quite a bit over the past 7 years and much for the worse. Management... — read more 

Can we consolidate all that we know about severance payment at McKesson in this thread. It seems that we have great variations about severance as it relates to different BUs, Groups, levels, etc. I'll see if I can find older threads and will post... — read more 

I will sue them and I need to find an attorney in Boston who is not afraid to litigate. I am open for a class action as well – if you want to join, chime in. I am sick and tired of seeing executives walk away with tens of millions while they... — read more 

Overseas we've heard of 6000 employees to be laid off at MCK - not only 1600 ... Or is that just group wide?

We are getting hit with core people that have been with the company from the beginning. A huge hit on knowledge.

Catch phrase used to be big around here.

My boss randomly scheduled a team meeting for Friday morning. I'm toast. I did everything right and even exceeded my sales targets. I didn't do anything wrong as a Dad/Husband/Sales Rep but now my two daughters won't have some of the advantages that... — read more 

I mean corporate security, spying, encryption, snooping, etc.

I have a giant piece of p--p I've been saving for you. You earned it. Maybe you can come collect it when you bail out with your golden parachute?

McKesson Corp. is firing 1,600 people, or about 4 percent of its U.S. workforce, to cut costs after the drug distributor lost some key customers. The company began a strategic review in January and determined that “reductions to our workforce would... — read more 

McK sold off automated 2 years ago for 50 million. Omnicell bought it earlier this year for $250 million just goes to show mck doesn't always make the best "business decisions" as some of you have posted this latest rif was just a "business decision"

Wonder if this is the "press release". Still haven't heard anything about patient care solutions in moon.

Curious to know any updates.

Nothing at IWS in Richmond yet. Like others have said we are anxiously waiting. Some suspect Thursday tomorrow. Office doesn't have that same "blood in the water" as with the last purge. But we still can't relax.

This is an absolutely perfect coda to the most poorly-run organization I've ever had the displeasure of working for. I'll shed no tears for the dilapidated former schoolhouse we call an office, the monotonous and empty-headed toiling that fills our... — read more 

To: All of you whiners out there, you signed or agreed to a legal contract with the company, as with 99% of US company's your employment is AT-WILL. Knowing this going in means you should expect to be terminated, plan accordingly, and don't blame the... — read more 

All of this goes back to Pam Pure. She killed this company.

Being pulled into a group setting and being told you're out; no compassion, no concern, devoid of any emotion, no concern whatsoever. That is where I think the lack of consideration comment comes into play from the previous poster. When John... — read more 

They start today. HR has rooms booked to deliver the news today and tomorrow. Don't know what specific areas but the logical thing would be to get rid of the temps on billing first and condense that area with a potential for outsourcing since they... — read more
