Thread regarding Gainwell Technologies layoffs

All of these so called senior employees are only pi---d at comments like this because they know they have made the wrong choices that landed them at Gainwell Technologies.

We all need to admit that Gainwell is the problem. They don’t care about any employees.

@4qkb+1pR4StQs

I have had the same experience.

And that’s what I don’t like about Gainwell. These are a bunch of entitled a--holes.

Disagree.

The folks I know at Gainwell that are retirement age are checked out. Do as little as possible. Not dedicated at all. And these people have came from other entities that don’t exist any longer. They have an attitude that Gainwell needs to pay them for all of these years of service. But Gainwell really owes them nothing more than three years worth of time or severance if they are laid off. So being a terrible employee to wait for three weeks of pay seems a little ridiculous.

From personal experience there, every older employee nearing retirement is very hardworking, dedicated knowledgeable, and valuable, still putting in extra hours, definitely not ‘sitting there’ waiting to be laid off. Those employees have stayed on through multiple pay freezes, no raises, etc.

Sitting and waiting to be laid off because you are near retirement is NOT beneficial for the company or for others that get laid off because of it.

It is a selfish thing to do.

You will cost multiple jobs through each round of layoffs by sitting there waiting because you are near retirement.

The downside to sitting there waiting to be laid off because you are ready to retire is that you probably are costing some other person newer in their career their job. If you don’t get laid off then someone else will to meet the quota.

The most valid reason for “ Waiting to be laid off” is for those that are planning on retiring soon anyways. In that case, might as well get a severance before retiring.

I’m out…

It’s definitely a choice to stay working for GWT. Waiting to be laid off is pretty stupid.

It takes on average 3-4 months to find a job that can replace your current job. So if people had been seriously looking for the past year or more they would be long gone.

It’s a choice. And the first choice that needs to be made is to get off the couch. Those that are waiting to be laid off will be the first ones to complain when they are let go and run out of money and lose their house or car. I’m telling everyone to make the right choice and get out ASAP. Waiting is d-mb. By waiting you will get a few thousand dollars in severance that will get used up quickly when you are unemployed. And then when it’s gone you will be desperate because you chose to wait. Make that decision on your own terms. Look seriously for another job. Look as if you have no job. Pretending to look and not taking a job because it doesn’t pay more than you make now…you might as well not be looking at all.

Get as far away from Gainwell as fast as you can. It is going to implode.

Post ID: @4frq+1pR4StQs - I don't think anyone is choosing to stay working were. They stay working here and looking at the same time. You can't just quit. You have to be laid off so you can collect unemployment and not get hassled. So you stay, keep your mouth shut and work the best you can and hope you don't end up on someone's spreadsheet. GW has lost someone good people. Some people have retired and some people unluckily got hired into a department that wasn't really doing anything. There are a lot of people that should have retired years ago and they are starting to leave. GW overspent and now they need to right the ship.

So it has come to this.

We get up in the morning and read this site to see if layoffs have happened. If Tuesday rolls around and we don’t hear of any layoffs we start to wonder what’s going on. We wonder why we haven’t heard anything. We get nervous.

That’s the toxic environment that Gainwell has created. It has become normal to expect layoffs on a weekly basis.

Pretty pathetic that anyone would choose to stay working for a company like Gainwell.

@1bjn+1pR4StQs

Yep. They totally read they’re from a script. It was so obvious, tacky, insulting and gross.

How about when they say we have an open door policy and they really don’t OR how about when others steal your ideas or initiatives and you don’t get the credit for it OR when you see a not so good situation and everyone else sees it and says nothing but when YOU say something you end up being called negative or harsh. They act like they want change and input but they don’t unless you’re a part of the “in crowd”.

Wait until most of us who think we have years of medicaid knowledge asked to document all what we know and quickly train someone totally new to healthcare. It is already happening in few business units.
Get ready for layoff within next couple of months (max)!
Already updated my resume and started looking for next gig...not been easy - better than getting surprized later! Get out instead of wait for severance package. Policy might change from ~12 weeks max to 10 weeks or even less.

You know what gets me?

The arrogance of every leader. I’m even talking about lower level managers. Think about it. You set up a meeting with someone to gather some information and it has to get forwarded to their boss and pretty soon there are six people involved and you just have a question for one person. Or you are trying to get something accomplished and you can’t because you have to get permission from so many people.

And best of all when you talk to any leader with a title they have such an arrogant attitude. They have that “I’m better than you” attitude. It really is sickening.

@2bon+1pR4StQs

So the town hall didn’t pump you up. Ok.

The OP is saying that the purpose of the town hall is to “attempt” to pump you up. So pointing out that it didn’t pump you up isn’t exactly new news. I’m sure it didn’t pump up lots of people. So what. I don’t think any reader on here much cares that it didn’t pump you up. But I do think they care if the town hall was a deception campaign and the purpose was to deceive them into believing some lies.

Post ID: @1bjn+1pR4StQs
I’m saying, even the town hall is bad.
I’m saying that I work here for myself, not for the leaders. I’m saying that no corporation cares about any one.
I am not refuting the OP, just disagree that the town hall was pumping me up.

@1bjn+1pR4StQs

So instead of “airing it out” like the OP intended you took the route of tearing down their opinion and defending Gainwell Technologies.

Wow. Just wow. You are clearly part of the problem. Are you a leader at GW? Or have you just been brainwashed to the point you believe the lies?

This is the stuff I’m tired of at Gainwell…

OP said "Those town halls are nothing more than just sessions to attempt to pump up the employee so they can squeeze a little more effort out of you for the same price."
IMO the speakers at townhall were all very low energy and several were literally reading their speech. Unispiring.
Work here for yourself while it suits your needs and set your own limits. No corporation cares about you.

The Gainwell leaders that signed the PHM contract cut the throat of my group, they prevented us from earning more revenue on outside sales opps in California and gave our app away for a pittance. The ultimate kick in the teeth.

Has been mismanaged since HP days (and possibly before). Many great technical staff members with valuable know-how, dedication and conscientious work ethic that went consistently unacknowledged and unappreciated by management.

I’m over Gainwell. It’s such a terrible place. It’s a bottomless pit of bad leaders and unethical business practices.

I’m leaving. You ALL should do the same. There is zero benefit for you to stay there. If you do it is a guarantee that you will be exploited. You will be taken advantage of.

So if you want to be fu---d go ahead and keep working for Gainwell Technologies.

Xanax

The fear is such that people are afraid to tell the truth. They are afraid to even post on here anonymously.

It’s sad.

What I can’t stand is how they rule by fear. It’s a silent fear. But it’s there. It’s the fear of layoffs so we don’t ask for a raise or better working conditions because we are afraid we will be laid off if we do.

It has created such a toxic environment. And the silent expectation is that you will only talk good about the company or you will be let go.

You have to pretend that you are happy and that Gainwell is a good place to work.

It really is messed up. And all done through fear.
