Nobody will keep a presence in Long Beach. The Molina’s built there because they have a vested interest in the city. It doesn’t make business sense to stay. WHEN were sold, any jobs left will be in Texas, North Carolina, or anywhere else with lower taxes, wages, and rent.

The office space in a downtown especially in a waterfront is very pricey. Time to relocate to save on costs.
The takeover is looking big. There should be some names that are interested. We will soon hear the news on one of these lay-off rounds. Still waiting on the “Big” one. Heard it will wipe everyone off the map!
I agree with the original poster here. 100%.
There is no reason for Molina to remain in Long Beach. With the amount of capital the Molina’s brought to the city (not just via Molina Healthcare), it makes sense Mayor G and The Ms were mutually invested. The company, sans any Molinas, has no value to Mayor G.
Also worth noting that the OG poster is spot on with the statement about WHEN we are sold, any jobs remaining will not be in Long Beach. If you are working for Molina because you enjoy a nice commute to Long Beach.....you may reconsider.
Does anyone see Molina existing much longer as its own entity? With the preponderance of evidence indicating a takeover/sale being eminent, will it matter whether any health plan would want the expense of being based in Long Beach? What jobs might remain and be in cheaper locations? Serious question. Maybe some during the transition but not many and for how long?
The post about the great predicted uprising in the clinical staff.....does anyone think this will be the concern of a leadership that is preparing for sale? Incompetent VPs and AVPs are abundant but that isn’t new to Molina. “They had no idea who they were messing with” strikes me as naive. Why would JZ and J Woys care about any of that? They aren’t aiming to do right by Molina, it’s members, it’s staff or regulatory agencies.
Check Outlook. We have a new Execive VP of Health Plan Services as of May 2018. Woys is fresh off of 30+ years at Health Net. Upon joining Molina, he promptly purchased $4 million dollars of Molina stock. That guy has A LOT of faith in Molina stock. Stocks always hike upwards when a company is purchased. Woys is more than qualified to realign Molina. He could help get us back on track. I’m not saying that isn’t possible. But.....he has $4 million dollars worth of faith in something here and it smells more like a Centene/Health Net deal with Momina, than it does a brand new life for Molina.
Totally agree with the last post. VP and AVP at Corp need to go. These are the same people that keep hiring their brothers, sisters, friends, dog-sitters, housekeepers. Then people come here and say geez- what happened to the old Molina (actually that is the old/new Molina) Well....what did you think was gonna happen. Not saying the company would turn around with these folks gone- it’s just an added layer of boneheads steering this sinking ship....and NO the Queen Mary can’t even help us. In fact, the Queen Mary is a better run company then us.
Latest MOH news... now they are willing to put nurses and social workers licenses in the line by forcing them to practice outside their state of jurisdiction so they can continue to pad their numbers.
An uprising is coming with their clinical training and auditing teams who they are forcing to perform assessments in states where they do not hold licenses. State boards of nursing and social work are starting to advocate for these clinicians who know their time with this corporate team is limited. With plans to send most of not all of these employees back to their original health plans, they are trying to take advantage and get all they can out of them and forcing them to put their licenses on the line. With lack of clinical leadership at the corporate level. They had no idea who they were messing with. Incompetent VPs and AVPs at the corporate level will finally have to do right by their staff or start having to answer to a higher power.
I cannot agree more. Very name of the company needs to be "some profit focussed" healthcare!!!
The founders are Long Beach natives and proud of it. They have strong ties with the mayor and his office but Molina Healthcare has to go where the rent is lower. Pretty much it. Plain and simple.
Plagiarist! lol.
