The LIES person is just trying to be irritating. Probably doesn't even work for McKesson.

To the person that posts under almost every topic "LIES", tell that to the affected people. I personally know of 25 that were affected in one group alone. While we all wish they were lies, it was publicized by the CEO they were making administrative costs and you would have to look far and wide to find someone in any group in the US divisions of MCK that does not know at least one person.
