Actually there was inefficiency and incompetence at most levels of Molina. I worked for Molina for five years, luckily I saw this coming and quit for a way better organization last year.. There was way too much favoritism and nepotism at every level that I had contact with in those five years. Human resources in Long Beach never listened when problems would be brought to their attention. I worked for Molina,Sacramento and at the clinic I was at Molina was forced to settle hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of lawsuits because of many of these problems. We had four or five clinic managers in my five years. All the original employees that were at my site when I got hired were no longer working for Molina when I left. When you have turnover like that you know there are organizational problems. Yet they continually backed up their site managers who had absolutely zero experience in Labor Laws. When Molina added the community transit lines here I knew then that it was only a matter of time before the spending caught up with them. That single bus probably cost hundreds of thousands a year in wages, fuel, insurance and maintenance yet did nothing to further the healthcare mission. One person in our office who's job basically consisted of writing birthday cards to our patients. Other employees doing the minimum necessary while kissing a--. Other better workers that had to pick up the slack eventually would get tired of being used and would move on to better things like I did. I know that some of the good employees got caught up in this layoff and that is unfortunate. Hopefully you guys saved money and took advantage of the ESP. When I first started in the ESPP the stock was trading at around 20 dollars a share. When I left and decided to sell I had over twenty thousand dollars in Molina stock. Most of you should be okay if you were smart enough to invest in the ESPP. I see many complaints on here that the layoff was to protect the rich shareholders, but many of them shareholders were regular Molina employees who will now need that money.

you're right I don't know she's a woman, although her "classy" comment was a tipoff. Men don't usually express themselves in that form, but she could be either a man or a woman.
who knows? who cares? that's what you choose to focus on?
Just curious, how do you know the one commenter is a woman? Seems kinda presumptious.
Hello Classy Lady,
thanks for reassuring us you think hiring minorities is OK by your standards. I'm the first commenter, clearly I am angry at the situation since I'm a current employee at Molina. Your reply is so ignorant I don't even know where to begin. Getting a job somewhere when you have connections will always be easier, that's called the real world, there's a great lesson to be learned from it, some people even call it networking! this part of your comment seriously made my day, at least it had me doubled over in laughter "It is we'll known in the healthcare industry that good employees/smart/classy/intelligent people only used Molina as a stepping stone". There is such little sense in that comment it's idiotic. Again it's probably your unconscious jab at the "minority employees" which you've reassured us Is ok by you! If I might be allowed one question? your stepping stone metaphor, what do you mean exactly? Let me guess you worked for customer service and classed it up and now work as a claims rep somewhere else? can't stop laughing! I'm sure you're making 50-60k a year now and think you're way above it all. Trying to catch my breath from laughing so hard! At some point you worked there too from what your post indicates were you incompetent and low class then and have bettered yourself now? I surely hope so! maybe at your new place you'll get a 2% raise next year! lmao!!!
@OA1lRju-cwb Stepping stone and using Molina and feeling embarrassed to work for Molina. Wow 😳 that is very classy of a person. I think these are the type of people that are snakes and kiss everyone and everthing on their way to open way. People here are not bitter or angry. They are furious but with dignity and compassion you moron. I am with the first person that commented here. Go eat a banana.
The first commenter here is clearly bitter and angry, and has a very child-like, spoilt response. It's ok to be angry, but COME ON. The OP is correct here. Molina has LONG had the reputation of hiring sub-par employees. It's actually rather shocking. Getting a job is easy if you know someone. There is a strong emphasis on minority hiring, which is, in no way a bad thing. But at Molina, it was TRULY such a big factor in hiring that they didn't even check anything else about their employees. Again, hiring minorities is good, not bad. It is we'll known in the healthcare industry that good employees/smart/classy/intelligent people only used Molina as a stepping stone, except at the very very high levels, cause quite frankly, they are embarrassing to work for and gives the indication that you are incompetent or low-class. Sorry. That's just the industry impression. This was only a matter of time with the caliber of their people. If that offends you, and you work there and deep down don't see that, then, well....
Thanks for shoving in our faces how you got out in time, made boatloads on stock and how everyone that is here still is either an incompetent a** kisser or too stupid if they don't have tons saved. I'm sorry this is the wrong site if you're here to gloat while other people are potentially going to lose their jobs. First I'd like to point out that many people might be newer to Molina and therefore even if they started investing in stock as soon as we got here we can potentially lose our investment with the current market and also there are people that can't AFFORD to put money on the ESPP. Also one of the employees that was let go in Miami I heard was a pregnant woman, that is a slew of different problems that are presented for her...no insurance? no benefits after she has her child? Let me guess your advice would be to get COBRA right? lol because everyone can afford 500-700 monthly insurance premiums after losing their job! Please go somewhere else with your nonsense!
