IWS has become so screwed up by hiring the CEO's buddies from Vital. Morons. Processes are a mess. Come on in FDA, and have a look. Counting the days......
Rank-N-Yank
Looks like they are going to have a Rank-N-Yank before the end of the year. Each of us has to rank our peers based on criteria set by management. Suspiciously the managers don't get rated at all. There are really only two reasons I can think of to do... — read more
So far no mass layoffs...are they still coming?
So far no mass layoffs...are they still coming? Haven't heard of any October layoffs- hoping that is a good sign? Anyone have any real insight?
We're In This Together!
Just got an email from McKesson about our benifits. Personally after not getting a raise this year, I relly expect to get something this year. I simply cannot afford to have my benifits take a backslide. We have been told from on high that we have to... — read more
Alpharetta Build Re-stack Delayed
I wonder if the 3 week re-stack delay in the Alpharetta office is related to that rumored mid-quarter layoff? Maybe waiting until they have fewer people to move?
Wake Up McKesson
McKesson Management from top down is the worst of the worse. They are only concerned with their own wealth and disregard employees well being. They destroyed the Horizon Clinicals Product line. Management allowed known software defects to go out the... — read more
Any insight into what is going on in MHS? Huge amounts of attrition
Haven't worked for McK or MHS in two years but all my die hard McK MHS connections have recently posted new job titles outside of McK. I know with new IPO it must be tough to feel motivated to stick around but wow! At least sixteen people I... — read more
It might be anonymous, but it's also censored
Just noticed that at least one of the threads have gone missing. Apparently HR doesn't like comments about Rattergren cashing in his stock while mckesson stock tanks.
What could happen?
The stock which has a 52 week high of $208 this year and close to $240 high last year could potentially go to $120. First major resistance would be at $140 which is not far away from today's price of $167. The market is slowly moving down and with... — read more
Insight Annual UserGroup
What's up with McKesson and Insight! McKesson is saying the Insight Board invited Cerner and Meditech to the annual usergroup and the vendors are saying McKesson invited them. So now McKesson leadership is saying they are refusing to go to the annual... — read more
HR Survey
I just took a look at the HR survey sent to all the employees. Mostly questions are about satisfaction with your job and if you would recommend to a friend. The survey has been outsourced to another company Aon Hewitt. According to the web this is a... — read more

EIS News?
Anyone with insider information about the "strategic alternatives" being mulled over regarding EIS and the unfortunate surround applications which are lashed to that sinking ship called Paragon? From what we've heard in the building attrition is high... — read more

Mission and Pine will move to One Post
Did you get the briefing that Mission and Pine will move to One Post. One Post is being sold and McK will lease space. Interesting information here. Any other news out there in the field?
Feeling Agile?
Are the hundreds of off shore resources added since the beginning of the year actually delivering anything of quality to the product? Or will it end up being yet another one of those failed off shore experiments where the full time employees (at the... — read more
Tomorrow is the big day!
At 10:00 Pacific time, McKesson will anounce a layoff of all IT employees. Each group will be dismantled and shiped overseas to WiPro over the next few weeks. Only upper IT management will be spared. Moreover, the new building is ready to become the... — read more
MTS is organizing?
Is it true that MTS is trying to unionize to stop or at least have some say on this Change Healthcare job elimination. How would that work?
So happy it's over
Dealt with so much BS at McKesson, I lost track of how great everywhere else was. Found a new job in so little time that I almost didn't get a day off, because even though my performance at McK was apparently terrible (Seemed to coincide when the... — read more
Merger was a done deal yesterday. Does anyone know how this will affect EIS employees?
Does anyone know how the merger is going to affect EIS since EIS was not part of the merger? Do they plan to try to sell it off?

"Skin in the Game"
Love how John and his 'leadership team' are putting 'skin in the game' to move this company forward. More like, how can we gamble with our employee's and customer's livelihoods so we can keep our retirement homes. The company has done nothing to... — read more

Layoffs Still Happening in April 2015
I was Laid off in Mid April 2016
Pat Blake warns that more layoffs can happen soon in email today
That said, in March, we took some difficult steps across the Corporation, including MTS, to reduce our cost structure so we can further strengthen our competitive position and stay aligned with customer and market dynamics. With the breadth of our... — read more
Are new performance metrics aimed at justifying upcoming layoffs?
With the looming specter of further staff reductions in the near future I find it oddly timed that my business unit would choose to roll out a dramatic change in performance metrics especially since the new metrics are largely incomprehensible to the... — read more
Laid Off People - How do you manage finances now

McKesson Job Cuts
McKesson layoffs have more to do with mismanagement than the work the people do. McKesson have been fined and settled lawsuits for drug oversight. You could say McKesson acts like a giant drug cartel that is a legal, dispensing opioid's in large... — read more
