Thread regarding Cencora / AmerisourceBergen layoffs

Company in distress

Based on my experience, I would encourage candidates to do thorough research before accepting a position. During my interactions with the company, I came away with concerns about leadership, the hiring process, and the organization’s direction. The interview process felt disorganized and left me with little confidence in how the company was being managed. Given the recent layoffs, I would carefully consider the stability of the role before making a decision.

@12r From my perspective, the biggest issue isn't just the offshoring, it's the communication. Leadership consistently says one thing while doing another, and employees are left to discover the truth after decisions have already been made. Transparency and honesty would go a long way toward rebuilding trust. Unfortunately, it probably too late for trust to be rebuilt.

@bb There is still a culture, it just shifted to "Sc--w the American Workforce".
When they started with Lithuania to "help support", that was the soft-launch.

Then there was Costa Rica who was a close enough neighbor so that would be helpful right? Wrong.

So then Padawan gets his shiny Pune CBS. The land of his people. And now all the well-to-moderate jobs are being shifted to them. The Ethnocentrism is strong with Padawan.

@ab Same here! This used to be a great place to work. Then its been nothing but re-orgs the last 18 months. New exec brought in their SVP, SVP brought in their VP. That VP is making life miserable for everyone. A truly great place to work has been replaced by typical corporate america.

@ab I felt the same way when I was there. I really liked the job when I first started. I constantly felt supported. Then when the first round of big layoffs happened in 2023, the company was never the same. I got pipped out of my job because they literally told me they couldn’t afford to pay me the commissions at the rate I was hitting goal at and that’s why they had to triple my goal . The company was a living nightmare for three years after that. Being fired was the best thing that happened to me.

The layoffs have felt random laying off some incredible talent the last few years and mostly playing off people over 40.

@ab I fully share those concerns. The company culture is poor, with weak leadership and little direction from the top. Daily work feels chaotic and unorganized at best with constantly shifting priorities, unclear processes, and no coherent plan in sight. Teams are left scrambling with reactive decisions and a disorganized hiring process that mirrors the internal mess.

If you value structure and clear goals, think twice. Do thorough research and talk to current/former employees before accepting anything.

The ceo is too busy trying to look 20 years old with all that Botox. He looks ridiculous

@ab it’s very different from abc a few years ago. There is no longer any culture.

@OP I left the company on my own a few months ago. It’s not the same company as when I was at AmerisourceBergen. They have turned what used to be a company placing people first with layoffs in one round every 5 or so years so constant layoffs at smaller amounts to avoid statutory WARN notices. It’s taken a huge toll on the company culturally and now they’re seeing more and more people leave because of burnout and toxic VP level and above leaders who simply oversee work and don’t pitch in to help middle management and analysts with the overwhelming workload. It’s a real shame because I thought I’d be at the company for the rest of my career but now I’m glad I left.
