Thread regarding McKesson Corp. layoffs

McKesson Job Cuts

McKesson layoffs have more to do with mismanagement than the work the people do. McKesson have been fined and settled lawsuits for drug oversight. You could say McKesson acts like a giant drug cartel that is a legal, dispensing opioid's in large quantities which caused the government last May to fine McKesson for suspicious ordering practices and suspending three distribution centers for 2 years.

I worked for McKesson and left a while ago for a better job with a better company. McKesson, while I worked there, seemed more interested in climbing the ranks of the Fortune 500 than caring about its people. Keep staffs at barebones and pushing work on its employees to the point some, like myself, were working consistently between 55 and 60 hours per week under salary. McKesson was getting 20 hours of my work for free. I can guarantee if I were an hourly employee I would have never been able to work 20 hours overtime per week because McKesson than would have to pay for it.

The other thing is the ethics of the company, sure, they have catch things like ICARE, but management it seemed could Care Less.

Think again: re hourly employees overtime. I've worked as hourly McK in warehouse for 8 years and rarely ever see a normal 40 hour week. 50 hours a week is probably the average. Sure they periodically make noises about needing to cut down the OT, but the attempt never lasts long. Yeah, we get paid for it, but we don't get to sit behind a comfy desk. They work us like slave dogs.

How about we keep it real here. RIFs suck, but happen in every industry.

Been at McKesson 15 years and agree with nothing Sir-Rants-a-Lot stated above.

Consistently working 15-20 hrs overtime without some form of compensation, is on you. My team consistently compensated for far less.
