The contract level leaders have been given staffing reduction targets for a layoff round to take place Nov 23 - it's pretty sizable. The accounts are able to determine the specific resources to eliminate for this round - so throw your name in the... — read more
Hiring more executives
Gainwell continues to bring on more executives. More C Suite people. Is this a sign of struggle? Is it a sign of putting on a good face for the upcoming sale?
Just Know
Just know that this is a bad company Just know that the leadership is horrible Just know that you are a number Just know that you could be laid off at any time Just know that this company is losing more business than they are bringing in Just... — read more
Recene WFR on 9/12/23
Wondering how many people were laid off yesterday? From which teams?
Town Hall changed the game!
What an amazing presentation! Did it su-k?
GWT continues to lose more business.
As Gainwell continues to lose more contracts, one has to ask themselves when the next round of layoffs will happen. Less contracts simply means less employees needed.
Gainwell Employee Handbook - the most threatening and demeaning document I’ve ever read from this company!
The Gainwell Employee Handbook is out. We are all required to read it and sign off on it. If you just skimmed it you should do yourself a favor and read it. It comes off more like a declaration of war against its employees more than anything. There... — read more
Culture Ki-ler
I read something today about the 12 ways to destroy a culture. Here they are. And it looks like Gainwell is guilty of them all. Disrespect people Don’t clarify roles Micromanage Fail to recognize good work Keep employees in the... — read more
Merit Increases posted
Raises are pitiful. From the internal site: Go to: mygainwell@work - My Profile - Compensation Information - Compensation Statement
Another DDI failure
How much stuff can this company mess up and still remain in business? They can reorganize as many times as they want. Isn’t it obvious that’s not the problem?
Raises are bad this year
Word is the merit raises are pretty bad this year, just got a 2.5% raise and I had put in an excellent year. GW is not taking care of it's workforce in regards to competitive pay, adjusting for inflation and high interest rates. Don't expect much. — read more
Merit Raises
Any word on when merit raises and when they will be approved? By this time last year they had been approved. Something going on?
Something Odd...
Even if Gainwell is this bad place to work or has bad upper management?!¿ How is it that some employees have been here for over 15 years... Why do they stay? Does the toxicity of this company affect them as well? or No? Are they impervious to the... — read more
PHM is back?!

Things that negatively affect the company's progress
Perhaps the list of things that hinder the progress of this company is way too long to be listed here...
Just a number
When a company decides that the leaders are more valuable than the workers it’s time to leave. Gainwell has sent that message loud and clear.
Why defend Gainwell?
Why do some employees defend Gainwell? Why do they get defensive when someone talks about how poorly the company is operated? Sometimes the truth is hard to hear.
Why didn’t I see it before?
I wanted to believe Gainwell was a good place to work. I wanted to believe leadership was good. I wanted to believe that my coworkers were well educated and knew exactly what they were doing. I wanted to believe Gainwell was financially strong. I... — read more
Has Gainwell ever been a good place to work?
I have been part of Gainwell since it became Gainwell. The entire time is has been nothing but constant turmoil, layoffs, stress, and unknown. All of the employees around me just operate - business as usual. They seem to think everyone else is the... — read more
New hatchet man
https://www.gainwelltechnologies.com/leader/mike-connolly/
This is 100% a leadership failure
They didn’t hire the right people. They didn’t give proper training. They didn’t develop a well laid out plan. They fail to admit that they don’t know what they are doing. They screwed the state of California out of millions of... — read more
Gainwell doesn’t have a clue
Big town hall brag was that Gainwell landed the California Population Health Management Account. They have been on that project for 11 months and haven’t delivered anything. Now big meeting with Karen Shields and the project is on pause. Why? ... — read more
It is not enough to just sweep problems under the rug
People here are not so naive that they don't see that the company is not doing very well. So why is the leadership silent about it and pretending that the problem does not exist? That seems like a pretty desperate move to me.
Quit date 5-12-2023
On 5-12-2023 it’s time to quit Gainwell Technologies. This is a call to all employees to walk out on 5-12-2023.
It can happen any time…
So far Gainwell has never addressed any of the layoffs to the workforce or publicly. New leadership at ceo same fear in the workforce. If you think “it won’t happen to me” you are a fool. Really - a town hall with the new ceo and they want to... — read more
Transformative synergies, i.e.,
Who will get laid off under the new regime? anyone responsible for fixed price contracts people leaders (chatgpt could easily replace) project managers (most just slow down actual workers) HR. ha ha just kidding
The incompetence and poor management at Gainwell…
Gainwell is amazingly miss managed by incompetent people. I work in the biggest money account to Gainwell and I can’t believe how poorly it is managed. The biggest account and it is ran by a bunch of people that have no clue what they are doing. We... — read more
Paul Saleh ousted
Paul Saleh has been replaced by Mark Knickrehm as Chairman and CEO as of today.
People leave unprofessional managers
Another colleague of mine left recently. I'd say that the main reason people leave this place is management who can't handle people more competent than themselves?
Has anyone worked in a department that was well organized and set up properly?
Every department is dysfunctional. Every department is poorly operated. Every department is having issues meeting their goals. Every department has employees stressed daily about potentially losing their jobs. I agree with lots of the other posts... — read more
NEW "Unlimited" Vacation policy limited to 15 days?
How do we all feel about the new limits to the "Unlimited Vacation"? Limited to 10 consecutive days with a 30 day pause before any more vacation days. On top of that you can only do 15 days a year until your boss and their boss need to approve any... — read more
Let me get this straight
Saleh lays off thousands, right? The majority of these folks are experienced and educated. Then he turns around and hires inexperienced people instead of moving the experienced and educated people. Yeah that’s some good leadership right there… My... — read more
Gainwell will match employees donations for tornado victims. Seriously?
How about instead you let some employees keep their jobs. I’m all for helping people of tragedy. But this is getting ridiculous. Saleh lays off thousands. But we have to keep up that charitable giving. Does that make any logical sense to anyone? — read more
I’m over it
I’m done with this company. F this place. Damn leaders suck. Some of the worst. CEO is a joke. Doesn’t give a rats a-s about any employee. Growing pains my a-s. This place is a toxic cesspool of bad leaders that begin at the top with Paul Saleh. F... — read more
Time to walk away
After 2 years at Gainwell it’s past time to walk away. Hearing constantly from leadership that we are strong and doing well, yet behind the curtain layoffs are happening. Threats of people losing their jobs is a real thing that happens daily. And the... — read more
