The fact that a planned, wellness event is taking place doesn't mean lay offs won't happen. In fact, I know someone who just got hired at Molina. People are laid off AND people are still being hired. It would make sense if you saw the bigger picture here....which is that this is all a moving picture and it is not all perfectly connected. There were lay offs yesterday. There will continue to be lay offs. That wellness event was planned by totally different folks than who work on the lay offs and it was likely planned long ago. All these questions about whether or not there will be more layoffs are a bit silly. Of course there will be. Read about Molina in the Healthcare Industry press and in stock market publications.....the sale of the membership is obvious. I recommend learning how such things transpire. Anyone who thinks the layoffs will stop at some point in time is being naive. Do not expect your leadership to know what is happening. Do not expect Molina to tell you what your future holds. It's no one's responsibility but ours. Educate yourself. No one is a victim. Molina is a company, not a person. It has made and will continue to make choices that are in it's best interest...a sale is clear. Prepare yourself for what that will mean to you. None of this is odd, if you look at the bigger picture. It's exactly how companies are bought and sold. In healthcare....usually the membership, not the infrastructure. There are no surprises here. Be ready. Be aware. Best of luck to all!
