US IT techs being laid off

Well everyone they did it....... They have now moved the entire help desk to the Philippines and Mexico. For ourcolleagues that are in the US, most are being let go today with no warning. No ability to check job listings internally. With every org... — read more 

Bonus

Honestly, pretty satisfied with my review I had this week. 5% merit 110% bonus I’m near the top of my pay bracket which is why 1.5% makes sense. I’ll be up for a promotion next year. I came from 2 companies that never paid out bonuses... — read more 

Ransomware

Haha. Hahahahahahaha. Couldn't happen to a better organizarion.

I'm tired of having to work three jobs as one person

I really wish the management would stop getting rid of people and expecting the rest of us to pick up their work. This is not a sustainable solution and will only lead to a complete burnout of those of us who are still here. I'm already close to... — read more

Yes most CHC will not receive RRP

Yes must CHC legacy employees other than Managers and up will NOT receive RRP. I have seen this question now in many threads. The GL 30+ won’t receive merit but will receive a nice bonus usually between 24000-35000 while their teams will get zero RRP... — read more 

Transformational BS

Jeff is full of sh-t. When things get tough only the ELT comes out on top. Create more positive energy, that will improve RRP supposedly. No one here feels valued.

CHC employees

I’m confused so not every division of Change Healthcare was eligible for a bonus? What was the criteria? I’m reading that some areas received bonuses and others did not. Not knowing why just reading seems like an unfair policy. Haven’t had my review... — read more

Fear, mongering or what?

I read almost every month that mass layoffs are expected, but each month passes and there are only minor cuts here and there, mostly in acquired companies. I'm not saying layoffs aren't happening, but they're not as severe as many are making them out... — read more 

Get out

The place is a monumental disaster, just wish it would implode. There will be layoffs, that's for certain. Part of the goal is attrition due to no raises and minimal, if any bonuses; the attrition would be organic downsizing to help minimize layoffs... — read more 

Can you fight against an unfair review score?

Please no mean comments- I was bullied by my manager into giving out low ratings for her benefit to only have her turn around to give me a low rating. She is targeting me because I am slated to move into a more senior role and was wondering if I have... — read more

This calls for more layoffs, naturally

I mean, profit was ONLY $22.4 billion. Guess we can expect more layoffs. Right? Why wouldn’t there be more money to share among leadership and shareholders? Let's kick out those who actually made this money!

Promotions?

Is anyone seeing promotions during this MAP review?

Secret Agents?

Who makes this $h!t up. Unbelievable. What a joke. Give me 100 Jason Bournes, please.

So long

Is anyone else planning on resigning on 3/1? The second my check with whatever minimal pennies they throw my way and try to tell me I should be appreciative of is deposited, I'm done with this organization.

Beware of the Creepy Narcissistic VP's

Our team was doing well until the VP's showed up and started creeping and keeping tabs at our meetings. This gave them enough ammo to rip apart, merge and eliminate positions. If you start seeing creepy looking VP's that look like creatures from a... — read more

RRP

For those not already aware. RRP awards this years will be small to non existent with those GL30+ supposedly not getting anything. But don’t worry, that doesn’t apply to executives.

The best course of action is to leave

Leaving as soon as possible. The insurance costs alone are ridiculous. The pharmacy benefits are beyond frustrating. More layoffs mean more work for others on the team with zero job promotion or increase in wages. UHG has grown way past “mega” and... — read more
