2024 Rumor Mill
Any word on our API in March? I had heard late last year that it was looking like we were going to do pretty well. Think they're going to go harder on RTO this year? Any chance of a RIF anywhere? Just wondering what people have been hearing if... — read more
Report a leader for unethical behavior?
Do you think it is worth anonymously reporting a supervisor through Ethics? This person is clearly playing favorites and trying to ensure his or her preferred employees get better reviews raises and bonuses. I am sick of literally being worked until... — read more
HCSC eyeing Cigna's Medicare Advantage business
What do you think about this? It appears Cigna will be selling their Medicare line of business to HCSC. I know they have a lot of remote employees nation wide so not sure how they would fit into HCSC.
Reduced API Payout for WFO non-compliance
It's being discussed that if a FLEX employee was not in the office 3 days a week 95% of the time last year (minus approved PTO and FMLA) or if the employee was not showing online and active for 8 hours a day 95% of the time (Minus PTO), then they may... — read more
Layoff coming?
Hi I heard rumor that layoff is coming. Do anyone know which team will be impacted?
Stakeholders are clowns
I worked at HCSC in the Portfolio Management Consultant (PMC) role for several years and left for a higher position with a competitor---it took me nearly a year to find something else but I finally did it. I couldn't stand the way the stakeholders... — read more
Board Elections
As a proudly "member-owned" company, aren't we supposed to have a Board elected by our members?
CEO and Upper Management are Stooges
Our CEO and upper management are utterly clueless when it comes to running the company. The townhall was a farce. Maurice could barely speak coherently and could not even address the email sent out in his name regarding work from home, nevermind the... — read more
Another group of talent is leaving
Heard from coworkers, another group of talent is leaving for better jobs outside of HCSC. Time for the COB, CEO and management team to resign and move on. They are destroying the company.
RTO
“ Working in the office as one HCSC” - $20 M puppet leader.
Diversity
Anyone know ehat happened to the new VP/Chief Diversity Officer they hired last year? She lasted less than 12 months.
Is the problem Legal or Procurement ?
Our procurement department is slow. It takes to long to get items approved? Is it turnover or staffing or is it Legal needing more bodies too!
Glad I left
I quite for another job a few months ago. One regret, should have done it sooner. New employer is fantastic. No DEI. Culture of performance and merit. Directors and VPs who know what they are doing and we respect them. If you are on the fence... — read more
Get out while you can-They will not change
HCSC is going through another round of talent leaving. Co-worker said it best, Get out while you can. It’s not going to get better. DEI continues with hiring and promotions based on Race, POC get them. Consider this an open message to all HCSC... — read more
IFM (Retail) leadership / a joke!
Why have they forced the retail team into the faux culture committee??!! Such a waste of time! Forced culture meetings. Forced contributions to a picnic - while c-suite pocket the biggest raises? They couldn’t even sponsor that? All this So that the... — read more
Is there anyone that actually enjoys being with HCSC?
Is there anyone who actually enjoys where they are at, their department, their management, and/or what you do? Tell us what makes you stick around (besides the need for a paycheck…all of us need that). Maybe if we knew about what jobs, management... — read more
Jill Wolowitz is an insecure executive!
She is a weak leader She never tells the truth She is very very insecure Don’t know for sure, but has some dirt on the SLT She talks behind coworkers back She has ruined Government Relations How long will she stay?
This has become a big mess
I'm underpaid and overworked. It seems that there is no doubt that leaving is the only option?
HCSC Execs Pocketed Huge Raises
Per Crain's - who hides their content behind a paywall...but here you go, just in case you were wondering! Also reported HCSC spent over $400 million to acquire Trustmark, about 10 times what they paid to acquire BCBS of Montana. HCSC told Crain’s... — read more
Your Guess
Anyone venturing a guess at who’s angling hardest to become the next ceo? I think I know. What’s your guess?
Outdated technology
My question is, will the leadership ever realize how outdated the technology we use is and finally do something about it?
They want us out of here
The atmosphere is very tense. The only explanation I have for insisting on RTO so much is that they know it will cause many of us to leave and thus save on severance pay.
RTO Enforcement
Executive leadership has pulled reports of badge swipes (of non telecommuters) to identify employees who are out of compliance. Managers then are required to have documented coaching with the employee & outline the assigned in office days. What is... — read more
Layoffs are not coming for all anytime soon
If you are under the Provider Specialty Services umbrella, you have either recently attended or will be attending a Town Hall meeting. Based on this meeting, I think we can be rest assured that we have a lot of work already here and a lot more... — read more
Layoffs are not inevitable
The company had a great year. Most of us got better bonuses than expected given the board voted to give us more. There are always restructures based in business needs at a given time but that does not lead to layoffs. It means people will move under... — read more
Perhaps layoffs could be avoided?
Unfortunately, there are many who think that layoffs are inevitable. Any thoughts?
Layoffs?
Will they happen?
2023 API, reorg, budgets and other
We have all heard about the bonus not being as good this year, tight budgets and reorgs are happening. What is next? More layoffs like Dec 2022 or Feb 2020? Lots to do with less people and offshore, new hires are not as good as experience-imo. How... — read more
what is the answer on bonuses
I talked with a friend about bonuses. He said you have to be employed on the day bonuses are paid in order to get it. Someone else said it does not matter that you will get a bonus even if you leave before March as long as you were working there on... — read more
Collab days mean less wfh
What do you think of the mandatory collaboration days in CS? I think it is a bullsh-t ploy to get more people to come to the office more often.
No innovations
Someone asked an excellent question - What does the IT innovation group do? I wonder that too.
Did anyone else get a text inquiring if interested in Rehire
Did anyone else that is a past employee get a similar text?? I received this text message from a 312 area code. I'll give number if someone will look it up in HCSC directory. I retired in 2020. Text message: Reimagine your career with HCSC! Are... — read more
Focus placed on issues of secondary importance
Perhaps someone might not agree with me, but I have the impression that for a very long time, the leadership has been paying more attention to secondary things instead of those that should be priorities for the successful operation of the company... — read more
Rehiring
I think the company wants short term employees they can recycle, but that's just my personal opinion. This is no longer a place to build a career. That's why I'm leaving, although with great doubts because I don't believe in stories that the grass... — read more
DOI/EI Team…how do you feel?
There is a question below about RIG for those who have left, but what about those who are still in? Why do you stay? Do you think things have gotten better for our team? Or are you waiting for something different to come? Those who have left... — read more
Lack of respect for employees
Just another example of lack of respect for its employees by withholding relevant information. Salary grades are no longer visible on workday for job postings, so employees cannot tell if they are applying for a promotion, demotion, or lateral. ... — read more
CIO is no longer with HCSC
So, he was fired? IT is a very inefficient, ineffective organization. It has been for a long time. Is there more to come with other executives as well?
