I am perplexed that there are no updates on HMHS Layoffs on this board. Just look it up online, there is info posted and people are afraid to speak up.

They are being sued by a client and don't seem to ever get to root problems. Clients overpaying for poor quality service. Only emphasis is on how many hours are billable not effeincy or quality of work. Very beauracratic and poor leadership
It is my understanding that Matt Ray, the former president of HM Health Solutions, who left in February 2019 has a financial interest in Thyve, the company created in India where a lot of the jobs have moved to. Can you say CONFLICT OF INTEREST!
This is a company who hired one new VP after another. They created additional VP positions. There wasn’t enough worker bees to get the job done before this and now those that are left really can’t get the work done. It’s a sinking ship and has been for quite some time. They should have cut all management and not those that really did the work. The expectations of working 70 hour weeks is not realistic. In addition to that, employees had to be available 24/7. There is NO work/life balance at HMHS and there really isn’t any chance of it now.
I was laid off on Wednesday from HMHS. I was with Highmark for 19 years. HMHS management are the worst. They are only looking at the bottom line. They are shipping the work to India and abandoning Pittsburgh workers. Even before this wave of layoffs people were being overworked and unable to resolve issues since there are so many problems with their platform.
100% BS company people doesn’t know what they are doing.
Total sh-- show. Recklessly ruining lives, abandoning knowledge and talent without ever discovering a true root cause for their ineptitude, then inevitably wondering why the entire platform s---s. Then, in a few months or years, the cycle repeats. Cheers!
Much Leadership in Product & Technology is being eliminated as the two organizations-Product & Technology and Consulting, are being folded together. Much of that elimination is due to redundancy. Cuts like this always begins at the Leadership level and then rolls down into the ranks. This cutting is overdue as there was too much top-heavy bureaucratic dead weight. Cuts are ranging from SVP levels to project managers. I heard today was the last of it, but I wouldn't place any bets on that. 250 cuts thus far. A lot of people are scared for their jobs.
I still work there but somehow made it through today. Most of my floor sadly did not. This is a big one for sure, the biggest in my 7 years with the company. I actually don’t even have any management now all the way up to SVP.
Many of the layoffs have begun. I'm hearing it'll be 25% of the workforce, between 400-600 people. Several floors now only have half the people they once did. Application development teams mostly affected. As a former employee, I'm happy to say I jumped ship before my job got shipped to India. Sorry for those impacted by this!!
Yep. Today is the day. Place is a sorry excuse for a company.
Is today the day? I am hearing 400 to 600.
Literally massive layoffs reported over the next few weeks. This will get very ugly for many Highmark people. My heart goes out to my former coworkers as there are many good people being railroaded out of their livelihood.
HMHS was a good idea in theory and probably helped for tax structure purposes. However, you can't spin it off and there's no need to call it what it is. Maybe they'll just have the layoff and restructure HMHS back into the parent organization?
Not sure why anyone would apply or accept an offer with this sinking ship
With 0 new clients and minimal funded work, there's a massive layoff in the works.
