Thread regarding HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation) layoffs

we’re losing too many good people

We’re losing too many good people, especially leaders at the higher levels.

The people who are smart, capable, and marketable are finding other opportunities and leaving. The problem is that these roles are not being backfilled because leadership still believes we are “fat” or redundant. In reality, much of the redundancy is not where the strongest performers are.

So what happens? The remaining high performers absorb the work. More scope, more pressure, fewer experienced people, and no real plan to replace the talent walking out the door.

This is not sustainable. We are heading toward another wave of departures, and once that happens, the damage may not be fixable. Institutional knowledge is leaving. Strong leaders are leaving. The people who can carry the company through uncertainty are leaving.

At some point, this stops being “right-sizing” and becomes self-inflicted damage.

@1cx Would love to understand what company you think people are flocking to for their IFM expertise. Everyone can be an excellent exec when subsidies are tripling your membership.

@2mr - How do you know that this is what these people "know" and is the basis for those that have short tenures?

"I have noticed that people who have health plan experience at other plans have short tenures. They know this place isn’t set up for success and the lack of quality talent is exhausting."

@1cx the market will notice that loss. But the butt clown buffoons and their bevy of sycophants are too clueless to notice.

Yep.. heard about 3 people in the last 3 weeks. Including an excellent exec on the IFM sales team. So far.

An important leader in IT/IS has recently left and played an important role in a critical/mainstream area - but that wasn't because of a better opportunity but because of personal family member health issues.

@zj Take a look at our leadership in IL and TX - zero talent there. I guess it’s who you know.

@bv don’t lie to yourself. We are all in the same frustrating boat. Look around! Wish the demographic box was all that was needed.

@hz so you are the head of HR? Doubt you are.

@h5 as the sole person who makes these changes, I specifically would know if they were critical or not.

@e2 just because you didn’t know them doesn’t mean they were not critical.

Who did we lose?
Haven’t seen any important changes recently.

If they’re gone already names shouldn’t matter.

@cd look at it another way. Rather than expecting a promotion, seek another role in the company. If we only seek one path to next level, you will be disappointed. If a role isn’t available, do your best with more responsibilities. Ask yourself if you are happy, if not then you have other options.

It would be awesome to grow existing talent inside the company but that is not what is happening. They are just asking people to take on more with no opportunity for promotion. L

@c3 I feel bad for managers right now. They are taking a lot of heat for things out of their control- and maybe they don’t agree with either.

@c1 how is it a dog whistle when true?
You seem to benefit a lot from old Maurice. Is your real name Shannon?

@bv Being in management and leader is not easy. Every company people are overworked, burnout. Eventually everyone has a heart attack or cancer, not all survive. Its a choice, lead selectively or remember what cool felt like in HS. Its ok to be an outlier.

@bv

Had to throw in the dog whistle at end.

You need some help. Probably the same person that persists in making these weird a-s insinuations.

@a2 because of 3 -

  1. Some of the talent left is overworked and has no time for growth.
  2. Sons of the talent has no talent and is just there to do as little as possible.
  3. The ones left are not part of the cool kids club or are the right check the box demographic.

@OP Why replace the talent leaving, why not nurture the talent that hasn’t left. Nothing wrong with people leaving for new opportunities. This shows the market is healthy. There will always be damage and uncertainty. All fixable by growing talent.
