They are managing employees out. And they are lying to the staff. People should be on guard. They don’t want to pay severance so are trying to fire first. If you get wrote up you are next to go, they are managing you out. Prepare your resumes.

Firing on a regular basis and I just started and was given 4 people's workload!
My department brought in new leadership and are allocating FTE’s to the vendor, which is never a good sign. Seasoned employees are having to work harder due to mistakes that are being made by vendor but are being scrutinized for not meeting production when they are the ones that created the problem. We are all working our selves out of a job due to AI’s that are currently in the works. When dd corporate America stop caring for people. Molina founders when never treat employees so poorly.
Yes, it is actually pretty simple …
If you are trying to email a former employee, you will get an error message showing up at the top saying “You don’t have permission to email …”. This means they are no longer with Molina Healthcare. If you try to look up the org chart for the same employee in Teams, you won’t see any info anymore. Again, this means they are no longer with the company.
Last summer Molina Finance realized that they need to make a lot of savings in 2023/2024 due to significant legal expenses (!), loss in revenue, and significant IT expenses in Q4 of 2024 (!).
- The legal expenses are the result of irresponsible actions from Molina’s leadership, specifically at the SVP/VP/Director level, and could have definitely been avoided. The annual performance bonus (Director: 22.5%, VP: 35%+equity) for these so called “leaders” was paid out at 150% over the last few years while the overworked individual contributors got a $500 payment.
- The loss in revenue was also expected due to the ending of the PHE. The loss of the Virginia contract was not expected but will definitely increase the layoffs in 2024.
- The IT expenses are surprising given the fact that no new IT projects are planned for Q4. There was a rumor going around that Molina might be bought by Humana or Aetna, which would explain a buy-out payment for the IT contractors. However, it is very unlikely that the government would approve an acquisition of Molina.
They are “managing” long-time employees out (regardless of whether they met the mid-year performance review or took medical leave), in order to avoid having to pay severance, which increases based on the employee's tenure. It is pretty shady behavior, reflects poorly on the company’s leadership, and in some cases is very easily verifiable. They know that very well and that’s why they are worried about lawsuits, which can take some time due to the SOL. And this brings us back to reason#1. Thus, if a competent employee disappears from one day to the next, you can assume that they probably got “managed out”.
Be careful trying to connect to people still employed. I have a friend who lost their severance and had to pay it back because communicating with anyone still at Molina was considered a breach of their contract and made it null and void. Those of us still employed have been instructed to check up on you without talking to you directly and to report to management because they are worried about law suits.
My layoff was December 6th. Absolutely crushed it was right before Christmas.
I was a remote crp for enterprise Medicare unit. I was layed off Dec 5.

Productivity was being scrutinized more often, but workload was already increased. The increase in workload was less realistic, so percentage of productivity will look lower.
Tried looking up people that I worked with to see if they were still with Molina or had been fired/layed off. Haven't been able to contact anyone. I worked in claims department. Anyone else?
