You are exactly correct about the degradation of the team. When we (finally) found out that Harris County had lost their contract (GBD Division) it was devastating. Not only devastating, but also very secretive from the Director level up. They kept telling us "we're working on it, we're filing lawsuits, blah, blah blah" As if that wasn't damaging enough, the team suffered. Our team consisted of a manager, a lead, and approximately 18 RN's. Some of our nurses immediately starting applying for other positions within the company. Some acted as if nothing was happening. Our manager, who we all trusted and still do, was asked many questions during our scheduled team meetings, but it was as if she wasn't sure as to what was going on either. In other words, the directors and higher weren't sharing info with the managers. But the strange thing was, the team suffered extremely. No one was talking to each other for fear one would think they were leaving which in turn increased the workload on those left behind. What once was a very vibrant team who challenged, encouraged, felt free talking about the daily course of business with each other, became silent. Management remained silent during the whole ordeal. The most information we received from Director level or above is that either they have filed protests or lawsuits. In other words, "hang in there, we're working on it". Many of us tried to keep up to date by googling the latest news on the process, but not with great success. So then, September 1, 2024 arrived and it's over. On our team, approximately 5 nurses did in-house transfers, an amazing 6 or more were hired by Molina, and some retired. It was and still is a grieving process. It's strange after being told from Gail K. Boudreaux and many others how wonderful and treasured and important we were, we found out otherwise.
