CIO owns Trexin group staffing company and employ them in HCSC for very very high billing rate and then talks about ethics in company and his boot licking and scared VPs (retail) tells their people to hire from trexin .. this CIO officially shows he resigned but you can easily find out that he still owns that company. Also These top leadership brings back their all fired employees and put them back also little higher positions are all ear marked for their and friends and just for the sake they post in portals. Top leadership is like stone aged and they feel that they are the only smart and all lower grade people are slaves.

Many companies including fortune 500s hire back fired people or people whose positions were eliminated…not so unusual
I know this is a year-old thread and Marv has recently left HCSC. Yet, there might be some value in this post.
I knew Marv owned Trexin when he was offered the BAS DVP role by Steve Betts. I heard he sold his share of the company to the existing partners. I do not know if that is true, but that is what I heard.
I have noticed a couple of interesting comments posted:
- A person claiming to be a senior executive remained Anonymous - interesting. They don't want to be known but they are asking all of you to be known. Why was that?
- Questions around ethical behavior and fear of raising or reporting it.
#2 above will be my focus and the Sr. executive in #1 should read this because it explains why nobody reports violations.
I worked at HCSC before Betts and Richardson arrived. I have known both for a long time and I recall them both being decent, honest, smart, and hard-working people with great families (and neither thought they were the smartest in the room when I knew them). However, I have tried reaching out to them several times before & after they became CIOs at HCSC. I eventually gave up and disconnected from them on LinkedIn as it appeared they had no more interest in maintaining a professional networking relationship.
To me, it appears that Steve and Marv changed once they ascended to corporate leadership roles. That happens sometimes and is disappointing to witness. This may explain why people in this thread did not trust Marv (and Steve) enough to set up a meeting with them to ask directly.
- a) Hey, Sr. Exec in #1 above - The above paragraph can also help explain the lack of ethical violation reporting - there is no personal trust in leadership.
When I was there I heard rumors about personal affairs with direct reports, ethical, and DEI type violations. I validated the rumors and was stunned and felt horrible about what was going on everywhere I looked. I even reported a policy / legal violation while at HCSC. As a result, I was punished by HCSC for reporting the violation even when I followed the rules, policy, and process. Granted, this was a long time ago and may not be the result today but rumors last a long time especially when they are not openly discussed and I know for a fact that my situation was never discussed. This is one reason why nobody wants to report violations
- b) Hey, Sr. Exec in #1 above - punishing the people who report violations is not encouragement to report.
Regardless of my concern at the time, and I was concerned given warnings from others, I have very high personal ethics so I followed the rules and reported a systemic violations with substantial documentation anyway. There was no consequence for the violator.
- c) Hey, Sr. Exec in #1 above - No consequence to the person who violates ethical or other policies does not encourage reporting.
The Upside: I left a bad cultural fit but found a great job in a much better culture.
I am not saying that escalating/reporting would cause you issues or that it won't have a positive result for a given complaint. I have no idea about the culture these days so either of these is possible. Additionally, HCSC is obviously a successful company so they do something right.
Yet, keeping in mind that cultures are big and complex my experience is that you will not see a cultural change as a result of reporting an incident. So why take the risk? If it is your personality - find a new job first. Check with an EEOC lawyer second (or first) to know your rights as an employee. Then report the violations two weeks before you start your new job. Helping others by reporting is a civic responsibility in my opinion. So, do it for others if you want but expect to get punished if you stay. if you don't and you want to stay because they have a great culture or want one, awesome. Tell your future employer you decided to stay.
- d) Hey, Sr. Exec in #1 above - Has cultural change transformation started as a result of any violation reported by employees? I know, cultural change is hard because it is part of what I do every day. If you know there is cultural resistance to hearing the truth or to shaking out bad apples, you don't need violation reports to start an initiative to change for the better. Just sayin'
Consider for example going back 20-25 years:
- Did one or more Previous C_suite members get caught violating a policy? YES!
- Did they leave? Some did and some did not
- Did the culture change as a result? NO!
- So, will it / Did it happen again? YES!
- Can it be changed? YES! But HCSC has to want to change it since they appear to be doing the same thing over and over again.
- e) Hey, Sr. Exec in #1 above - Do you now understand why nobody is reporting violations?
Good Luck
Somebody said second hand information .. Please go look through your own eyes ..How crooked MR is .. he made sure all reporting structure VPs are only Sheeps who says yes boss and p-e in their pants .. we are at low level where we cant file any complaints as HR and compliance and ethics all on top level are friends and each other support.. basically all ADC is MR cash cow .. he report to Opella she knows sh-t about IT so he nicely sugar coat to her and bend his back to her so she wont say anything .. thats how this whole company and attrition rate is high . sh-t company .. hoping to quit soon. quality of team members went down to zero these days .. all good team members are leaving ..
A friend just turned me onto this site a few days ago. Just wow.
From what I can read here, there is data from multiple posters over a multi week period that MR may still be affiliated with Trexin in some manner and ITG is still hiring from them, perhaps in increasing numbers. If an HCSC employee is not allowed to have a direct or indirect ownership interest in a company selling services to HCSC this is a possible compliance violation.
How hard would it truly be for a self reported HCSC senior leader scanning this site to simply bring these posts to the attention of your senior leader colleagues in the Ethics group?
Frankly, there are concerns that anonymous surveys and reports to the Compliance department may not be completely anonymous.
Filing a complaint based on second-hand (at best) information wouldn't be appropriate. If you know something to be true, it's your obligation to report it. I can't speak to past decisions, I wasn't here then.
To the member of senior management. You have the postings here. Why don't you file the ethics complaint?
Why was Lesar brought on after obvious ethical violations in his history just before joining HCSC? Why does the company with with MR ties still add consultants? Are we to believe the Board and the executive group doesn't already know this.? That is hard to digest.
I'm a member of senior management. Please file an ethics report.
The comment on filing anonymous ethics report is interesting.
How are we to take anything HCSC says or does on ethics seriously when the company appointed an obviously unethical interim CEO from Haliburton before MR took the helm? That was an action that showed how important the current Board views ethics.
The Ethics process seems to have been turned into a process that seeks first to identify dissenters and second to find areas of legal risk.
Third is to find minor issues committed by low level employees for cosmetic actions.
The desire to find ethical issues in more senior management just doesn't exist. It seems like it would be a waste of time to submit a report.
Hope you all are filing anonymous ethics reports about this.
What is interesting is that MR markets himself as a promoter of young IT professionals and as a diversity champion. The truth is he was Betts' personal Yoda as he laid off over 900 HCSC IT professionals and his prior company, Trexin, has not one African American on staff according to its own website.
My conclusion is that words are easy and actions are truthful.
What is sad is that MR served as a paid Trexin adviser while Betts eviscerated the IT department by laying off over 700 people four years ago, all while Betts was hiring his cronies such as the Chief Architect and PWC. In the end, Betts ended up raising the overall hourly run rate over inflation, lowered per employee productivity, decreased operational stability, lowered intellectual capital retention, and decimated morale for non-cronies. Maybe these are some of the reasons he was fired in addition to his incessant need to be the smartest guy in the room.
Betts then used these cronies and PWC, his hired corporate assassins, in part, to spy on incumbent employees and then used that intel to make excuses to fire or sidebar people. MR was riding sidecar for all of this.
MR was part of the lie Betts told about "no layoffs" at the beginning of the "transformation process" five years ago. Betts brought in the very same overpaid PWC folks into HCSC ITG that helped him eviscerate Aon and MR was riding shotg-n while it all this happened at HCSC also. And of course throughout this time Trexin's presence grew at HCSC and it continually grows.
I am willing to wager that a close look at the Trexin / MR relationship would show a family member now holding the MR share of Trexin or that a trust holds MR's Trexin's share until MR leaves HCSC.
As everyone has previously noted, over the last five years HCSC has lost its soul, its commitment to employees, its focus on its members, and its ethics. I am glad I got out last year with part of my soul intact. Everyday I felt I was being drained of what is right in me.
HCSC has lost its way. This was highlighted when then they brought on an obviously ethically bankrupt CEO (hundreds of news articles) from Haliburton before the current CEO. The current Board Chairman permits this decay. After all, this dude gets paid about $10 million a year, an obscene amount for his role in a mutual insurance company. It has never been in doubt since 2017 or 2018 that ethically questionable actions would be ignored. It starts at the top.
did some research its CIO MR owns trexin company .. and i have tried to get info from other people about trexin and everybody is like man dont talk .. its all high level scam and even board knows about this so its official scam.. and one more thing is even i saw most fired people got hired back in .
Wait. The CIO? MR? Or the CISO? New guy?
True ..https://www.trexin.com/experts/ most people mentioned in healthcare are in hcsc .. so this CIO is board member in other companies so he is staffing in other places... this Great way to earn easy.
Regarding hiring fired employees .. thats very pathetic .. i have seen bringing back same people in same positions .. how ridiculous ..
