I have found a wonderful healthcare company, that REALLY knows healthcare and their healthcare management is amazing, because guess what? They are healthcare leaders! They are medical professionals, mostly licensed, or medical healthcare management... — read more
How cold can you get
I was part of the layoffs in January, a 5 minute phone call where we were put on mute. We couldn't ask questions and in an instant 12 years of loyalty was gone. I never received a phone call or email from my Manager, the person that actually hired me... — read more
i(don't know how to)LEAD, iCARE about myself
... said all the SVPs who cut people on their teams and simultaneously budgeted 35% bonus for themselves
Bait & Switch
So everyone is talking about the 1,600 layoffs but no one is talking about the announced new headquarters in Irving where they are hiring 1,000 new employees? Smells funny!
bps
will this affect the bps offices?
BEER and WEBSTER orchestrating this colossal mess.
Hammergren's checked out by now. He's done good over the years. It's these two fools with their poor thought out quick decisions feeding his ear. What does he care. Please bring Campbell back. He had sense.
To Our Great Global Workforce!
To: All Employees From: Human Resources RE: Layoffs As a result of the reduction of money for department areas, we are forced to cut down on our number of personnel. Under this plan, older employees will be asked to go on early retirement, thus... — read more
I am checking out - my last visit and post here, I've had enough of it
After many years working in IT I was was let go today. First time being let go during my career and having always been dedicated to my job, always wearing the company shirt. This is a very sad moment folks. Hope you don't go through this. It is hard... — read more
would the CEO and executive team ever consider not taking a bonus or even cutting some of the fat from their own ranks?
of course not. everything is done to maximize their own value (both financial, ego, and personal power). really disappointed in the management team's handling of these layoffs across the board. if there was a performance review given of a few of the... — read more
Hey Hammergren
Do you feel better now? A few sure things: Death, Taxes, and if you work FOR McKesson, re-org and layoffs. Great business model you have there. When are you selling off MTS? Why not buy a drug company? and get your cut along the whole supply chain?... — read more
Reported MCK restructuring charges in regulatory filing can give one pause
Not to be any more of a bearer of unsettling news in a difficult time but has anyone played with the numbers, and timing of the restructructuring charges, MCK filed in the regulatory filing. Lots of smarter folks out there than I but here's an... — read more
NOT DONE YET...
Just got off a call, many more to be hit in the next two weeks, most at the BU's support/operations with some management still yet to be hit. Supposed to have all notified before 4-1. Hang in there.
Severance Package
Has anyone received their official severance package that we must sign and return? I was told on Friday that it would be arriving by FedEx, and I interpreted that as it would be at my house that same day. I still have not received the packet and was... — read more

Going back to school in June. Can I volunteer?
PARAGON FOLKS GET OUT NOW!!!
Paragon Employees, Get out now if you are not in the first round of layoffs this year! McKesson will be selling off software assets since they are dragging the company down (just happened with Ambulatory products), once the new company takes over... — read more
I was impacted and shocked by it. I truly empathize with all. My best advice to all is to move on quickly. Read my long post below.
It may have been LHH that told us, your job now for 8 hours a day is to find another job. I immediately did just that, even working on nights and weekends. Take advantage of LHH, esp resume writing and esp if you have an old formatted one like I did... — read more
Was told cuts are done for EIS but is it true?
Rumor going around is that EIS cuts were done last month. Does anyone know this for sure?
Job placement services will come with the layoff most likely. I had Lee Hecht Harrison Consulting and it was a very poor experience.
After a couple weeks just trying to connect with LHH, it became clear as to why. The first 3 things my assigned LHH rep said was 1) I just started work here, 2) I am currently on vacation, and 3) Not sure what to do. The only job fair sponsored by... — read more
HR will lie to you. Please check your state law on things like OT and Comp Time. Severence is to appease the state, not because McK is fair.
I was ripped off for at least $60k when I got laid off. Probably a good idea to check your state law on things like OT and Comp Time. If your SAP time is more than your clock time, you can ask for your SAP time. Most likely you can sign the severence... — read more
Paragon(e) Charlotte not hit....yet.
Not hit yet but surely it is coming after the poor execution of Better Health 2020. A lot of staff ready to go.....
IWS status - next week?
Folios lined up, HR working late. They are booked solid next week. Is it Coincidence? What's the word friends??
Why are some threads here in red font (e.g., "6 replies")
Are some replies regarded as 'more important' or hot?
In a meeting yesterday with 'C' levels they said this will go on till months end
Most corporate functions are over with but the BU's can expect more in the next 2 weeks.
MSH Woodlands- Status of Layoffs?
Does anyone know about layoffs in Woodlands and which departments may be affected? Being remote many of us are out of the loop and just sitting on edge.
Redit Thread on layoffs in general
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEngineers/comments/22uth8/during_layoffs_in_an_engineering_company_which/ Read the one from the manager (beave1) pretty detailed. This explains why things appear so normal at some BU's - the managers don't know who is... — read more
What losing your job adds to McKesson's bottom line
The drug wholesaler said it expects to take a charge of $300 million to $330 million in severance and employee-related costs, the vast majority of which will come in the fourth quarter that ends in March, with the remainder coming before the end of... — read more
Next Week Layoffs (Week of March 21st 2016 - What about April 2016?)
Are we done yet or should we expect layoffs next week too? Also, I am assuming no layoffs in April... Or, am I wrong. Also, why so little media coverage here?
MTS Legal Layoffs
Any updates here?
Is it over yet?
How long is this going to drag on?

Expertise lost today is unrecoverable
Six positions eliminated in Moon today. NOT surprisingly, no management was laid off. They cowered in their cubes and offices while the bloodletting commenced though. No sign of any official discussions until the all hands call later that afternoon... — read more
