Haven't worked for McK or MHS in two years but all my die hard McK MHS connections have recently posted new job titles outside of McK. I know with new IPO it must be tough to feel motivated to stick around but wow! At least sixteen people I personally know, out of my 100 MHS contacts, have left in the last 30 days. That's nearly 20%! Any internal insight? I mean it's never been sunshine and rainbows there but I can't imagine it being this bad. What the hell is leadership going to do about it?

What is utterly disgusting is that Hammergren receives $580,000 dollars to spend on security systems for his house (look it up in Corporate Stock filings and what top executives are blessed with). He gets a corporate jet, is glorified with millions of stock, is paid so much compared to an average worker in his company, yet he was allowed to destroy the Healthcare software so many dedicated individuals worked to build, because of FAILED leadership starting with him, and all the cronies below him.
Just look at what he did to Clinicals and Paragon. He is a failed leader, and should be ousted from the board, along with the board, and all the other disgusting cronies that allowed bad software development and process.
This company is very strong on the Pharmacy end, but is an utter failure in developing Healthcare software. McKesson is only concerned with saving dollars for their executive bonuses, and offshoring to India. McKesson offshored to India back in 2000, and that's what got them in the entire mess to begin with. How about employing American men and women to do the jobs here onshore? Can't you find anyone? Wait, you did, but you let them all go.
No customer wants to buy Clinicals or Paragon for that matter. Why would competition buy software from McKesson, when customers are leaving and going with the competition to begin with?
TOTAL FAILED LEADERSHIP. Hammergren and company do NOT follow what they preach in ICARE (integrity, customer centered, accountability, respect, excellence). Too bad they allowed BAD management to destroy the healthcare software they wanted to lead in. SHAME on the BOARD and Hammergren for allowing this to continue, and all others involved.
This ship has sunk, and is almost under water.
McKesson Pharmacy end may suffer as a result of the poor decisions in the Healthcare Software division. I think that is already happening since they lost the contract for OptumRx, the mail order pharmacy company.
This is nothing less than institutional corruption.
McKesson Management from top down is the worst of the worse. They are only concerned with their own wealth and disregard employees well being. They destroyed the Horizon Clinicals Product line. Management allowed known software defects to go out the door, even when QA and internal folks reported the problem. Change Requests (bugs) were closed as 'working as designed'. Management only listened when the hospital experiencing the software defects logged the bugs at go live implementation. Then, management was all over internal staff like flies on..... The problem reported by QA and internal staff, before the software went out the door, all of a sudden became a hot fix solution.
Bottom line, this management did not listen to internal employees, and disregarded their own ICARE principles they expect their employees to follow. I got out a few years ago.... I feel sorry for the hard dedicated workers left to do the work of 10 people, because McKesson does not hire replacements. McKesson could have succeeded with their software, but they refused to allow enough time and development for a clean software build in the field. Now they are working on Paragon, which is an utter failure. Hospitals have refused to go with Paragon, and chose EPIC as a more sound solution.
Wake Up McKesson. You are only concerned with profits at the top!!!! Too many Chiefs,,,,,,, Not enough Indians to get the work done
Check this out: In Pharma, Although we fired people through the last layoff or RIF, we have not only replaced their positions with higher paying jobs, but added more jobs that aren't needed! Changed some job titles around with a 30k pay increase.
We seriously don't need some cute little guy at One Post to simply update the organizational chart! That is his ONLY job and I bet he earns over 100k to travel and dance around the country. WAKE UP PEOPLE! This company is atrocious and I cannot wait to leave.
Employees on the front lines, are doing MORE work with LESS resources! And now told we need to cut back another 1.5 million across our region. We sent some sales teams to Italy for a "retreat" while others are barely making enough money to live on. Warehouse employees are working mass overtime and safety is being reinforced like crazy...Leaders are saying "DO YOUR JOB FASTER AND MAKE NO MISTAKES, BUT ALSO DON'T GET INJURED OR ELSE IT WILL HURT OUT BOTTOM LINE FOLKS!" Oh, and don't ask for the holidays off, forget the yearly company picnic, that's been cancelled too. No perks AT ALL for the hard working people who deserve it the most.
Sales teams bring on customers in droves that cannot pay their invoices! But sales gets trips to Italy?? Makes no sense at all.
I'm sorry, but if McKesson leadership doesn't act quick and stop this madness, this entire company is going down. Where is the customer focus here?
I see open positions...so it's weird.
Wait they can't even replace open positions? Well knowing what I know now I don't want to come back but still.
I don't think you will have a choice about coming back. There's a hiring freeze right now, last I heard. I'm looking for another job because so many people have left and they won't replace them, so morale is really bad. This is in EIS specifically.
I see I see. I was interested in coming back which is why I asked. I miss the customers. But thanks for insight helps in my decision making!
I was laid off in March and I know it spooked several of my coworkers. Many of them have left in the last several months as they must see the writing on the wall. The cuts in March were too deep and the Management is inept which equals attrition.
