Feeling like a number: The decline of morale at McKesson
Is it just me, or has the atmosphere at McKesson shifted into something unrecognizable over the last 18 months? I remember when there was at least a facade of caring about the employees, but now it feels like we’re just line items on a spreadsheet meant to be deleted. The latest round of layoffs in Lawrence didn't even come with a sincere apology or a real plan for the people left behind to pick up the slack. I’m drowning in the work of three different people, and every time I bring it up to my manager, I get told to 'prioritize effectively.' How am I supposed to prioritize when the scope is constantly expanding because my teammates were cut? The burnout is real, and the pay definitely doesn't match the level of stress we’re dealing with right now. I’m genuinely worried that if I stay much longer, my health is going to take a hit. Anyone else feeling totally checked out and looking for an exit strategy?
Any rumblings about further cuts after the Lawrence exit?
I’ve been with McKesson for a few years now, and the mood lately has been absolutely miserable. Seeing the 135 people let go in Lawrence is just the tip of the iceberg, honestly. The leadership team keeps throwing around words like 'optimization' and 'streamlining,' but we all know that’s just corporate-speak for headcount reduction. I have friends in other departments who are terrified they’re next. Is anyone else hearing rumors about more rounds coming before the end of the year? Management is being incredibly tight-lipped, and the lack of transparency is making it impossible to focus on actual work. I’m starting to update my resume tonight because I don’t trust that my role will be here by Q4. It feels like every month there’s a new 'reorg' that just ends in people being locked out of their laptops. Does anyone have any insight on if they are targeting specific business units or if this is just a general thinning of the herd across the board?
Is McKesson culture just toxic now?
I’ve been at McKesson for a few years and the vibe has shifted significantly since the last few rounds of restructuring. It feels like everyone is constantly looking over their shoulder instead of actually focusing on the work. We’re being asked to do more with fewer resources, and every time someone asks about stability, we get the corporate 'we are well-positioned for the future' script. Is it just me, or is the burnout rate becoming unsustainable? I see people hitting their breaking point left and right, and management seems completely disconnected from the reality on the ground. I’m starting to wonder if the benefits are even worth the stress anymore. Is anyone else looking to jump ship, or are you guys planning to stick it out and hope for the best? I feel like the company is turning into a revolving door and it’s exhausting to watch.
Anyone else impacted by the Lawrence PA cuts?
Just saw the WARN notice go up for the 135 people in Lawrence. It’s always the same story—leadership talks about 'streamlining operations' and 'investing in digital transformation' while the rest of us are left staring at our monitors wondering if we're next. The communication around this has been abysmal, per usual. We got a generic email from leadership about 'optimizing our footprint' shortly after the news broke on the state filing site. It’s hard to stay motivated when you see colleagues who have been here for 5+ years just get wiped off the org chart in a single morning. Does anyone know if they are offering any meaningful severance packages, or is it the bare minimum? Stay safe out there everyone, keep your LinkedIn profiles updated and your networks active because it feels like the floor is dropping out from under us lately.
Is anyone actually safe, or is this just cost-cutting across the board?
With the Oregon layoffs last week and now this PA update, it really feels like McKesson is trimming fat everywhere. I know healthcare is supposed to be 'recession-proof' or whatever, but leadership seems hell-bent on hitting these margin targets regardless of how many teams they gut. I’m in a support role and I feel like I’m constantly looking over my shoulder during every All-Hands meeting. Does anyone have a pulse on which divisions they are targeting next? It feels like no one is safe, from logistics to corporate. I'm burnt out from the anxiety alone, honestly. Thinking about jumping ship before the inevitable, but the market is so weird right now. Anyone else feeling the pressure?
Lawrence PA cuts: Anyone else seeing the writing on the wall?
Just saw the WARN notice for the 135 impacted in Lawrence. It’s getting hard to keep track of these regional shutdowns at this point. I’ve been with McKesson for a few years now, and the atmosphere in my department has shifted from 'we’re scaling' to 'keep your head down and hope you aren't next.' Is anyone else in the Pennsylvania hub feeling like the office is just being hollowed out? Management is still giving us the 'business transformation' talk, but it's getting impossible to ignore the numbers. I've started updating my resume on the side just in case. If you're based in Lawrence, are you hearing anything about severance or if they're offering internal transfers, or is it just 'thanks for your service, here's the door'?
Confirmed: 195 impacted in Oregon as of May 30th
Just saw the official WARN filing for the Wilsonville location. 195 employees let go effective May 30th. It’s a gut punch for the team. I have friends who were caught in this, and the process sounded absolutely brutal—no heads up, just a calendar invite appearing out of nowhere and then losing access to systems within the hour. I’m posting this here so people stop guessing numbers. It wasn't a rumor; it was a mass reduction. For those of you still at McKesson, take care of yourselves and make sure you’ve downloaded any personal contacts or files you might need from your work devices before your access potentially gets restricted. The atmosphere in the office has been tense for months, and honestly, seeing this number confirmed makes me feel like nowhere is safe. If you were part of this group, please post if there are any resources being shared or if you’re organizing to help each other find new roles. Stay strong out there.
Is the Wilsonville exit a sign of broader office closures?
Watching the news hit about the 195 people in Wilsonville yesterday really ruins the mood for the rest of us. It feels like the writing has been on the wall for a while, but management is still pretending it’s business as usual. Has anyone heard if this is just a regional realignment or if the company is looking to consolidate more of the legacy footprints? I’ve been trying to keep my head down, but the constant anxiety is exhausting. It’s hard to focus on sprint goals or quarterly deliverables when you’re constantly checking the internal directories to see who’s still online. To the folks impacted in Oregon—I’m truly sorry. Does anyone know if there’s a standardized severance package being offered, or is it strictly tenure-based this time around? I’m genuinely concerned about what the strategy looks like for the rest of the year. If we are moving toward a fully remote model, just rip the band-aid off already so people can plan their lives accordingly.
Another round of cuts and the silence is deafening
It feels like we’re back to the usual cycle. Another 195 roles gone in Oregon, and yet we’re getting the same 'business as usual' messaging on the all-hands calls. Leadership keeps talking about 'operational efficiency' and 'streamlining our core capabilities,' but it’s really just code for doing the work of three people with half the resources. I’m exhausted. The morale is basically non-existent at this point, and it’s getting hard to justify staying when you're waiting for the next round of notifications to drop. Does anyone actually trust the current roadmap anymore, or are we all just waiting for our turn on the chopping block?
Wilsonville site just got gutted - May 30th
Just saw the official WARN notice for the Wilsonville location. 195 people out the door as of today. I’ve been tracking the internal chatter for a few weeks, but it still hits differently when you see the final number. To everyone affected, I’m truly sorry. This place has been cycling through these 'strategic realignments' for years, but the scale of this one feels different. Is anyone getting any straight answers from leadership about what the future of the Wilsonville footprint looks like, or is this basically a slow-motion shuttering of the office?
McKesson: Anyone else's workload suddenly double?
Seriously, what is going on at McKesson? Over the past couple of months, my workload has absolutely exploded. It feels like we're expected to do the work of two people. Projects are getting piled on without any extra resources, and deadlines are becoming increasingly unrealistic. I'm seeing colleagues looking completely burnt out. I know the industry is tough, but this feels like a strategic move to stretch us thin, maybe as a precursor to something else? Or are they just genuinely understaffed and pushing everyone to their limit? It’s getting to the point where I’m struggling to keep up and the quality of my work is starting to suffer, which is really frustrating. Anyone else in a similar boat?
McKesson: Rumblings about restructuring? Anyone else hearing this?
Hey everyone, been at McKesson for a few years now in [department, e.g., IT/Sales/Ops]. Lately, there's been a weird vibe. People are quiet, meetings feel a bit more tense, and there's this underlying current of uncertainty. I haven't seen any official announcements or even concrete rumors, but it feels like something is brewing. Managers are being cagey, and there's definitely been a slowdown in project approvals and new initiatives. Anyone else picking up on this? Is it just my team, or is there a broader shift happening? Concerned about what this might mean long-term.
McKesson: Is anyone else noticing a hiring freeze?
Curious if others are seeing this at McKesson. We've had a couple of open requisitions on my team that have been stalled for months. When I've asked about it, the responses are always vague – 'budget review,' 'strategic alignment,' etc. It really feels like a de facto hiring freeze, even if it hasn't been officially announced. Combine this with the increased workload everyone seems to be feeling (based on other threads), and it's starting to paint a picture. Anyone else in a similar boat or heard anything more concrete about hiring plans (or lack thereof)? Trying to get a sense of the broader picture here.
McKesson: Feeling the pressure from all sides?
Hey everyone, throwing this out there anonymously. Been at McKesson for a few years now, and lately, it feels like the ground is shifting. Management is talking a lot about 'efficiency' and 'streamlining,' but what that translates to is more work for fewer people and a general sense of unease. My team is stretched incredibly thin, and we're constantly being asked to do more with less. The whispers about potential restructuring and cost-saving measures are getting louder, and honestly, it's hard not to feel anxious. Has anyone else picked up on this vibe? Seeing any concrete signs or just feeling this general 'wait and see' atmosphere that's a bit unsettling?
McKesson: Anyone else's workload feel unsustainable lately?
Just wanted to vent a bit and see if I'm alone. My team at McKesson is absolutely swamped. We've lost a couple of people in the last quarter, and management hasn't backfilled those roles. Now, the remaining team members are expected to absorb the extra work without any adjustment to deadlines or expectations. It feels like a recipe for burnout. We're constantly being told to "do more with less," which is easy to say when you're not the one doing it. I'm starting to worry about performance reviews and if this unsustainable pace will be held against us. Has anyone else experienced this kind of increased workload without proper staffing? Wondering if this is a sign of things to come.
McKesson: Project deadlines slipping, budget cuts looming?
Hey everyone, been at McKesson for a few years now, and lately things feel… off. Projects that used to be manageable are suddenly impossible to hit with current resources. My team's been working insane hours for months, and we're still barely treading water. Heard some murmurs about budget reviews intensifying and a general tightening of the belt across departments. Not hearing explicit layoff talk, but the general vibe is one of increased pressure and uncertainty. Anyone else seeing this? Is it just my division, or is this a company-wide thing? Curious if anyone has any intel or insights into what might be happening behind the scenes. Trying to stay optimistic, but it’s getting harder.
McKesson: Feeling the strain – anyone else's team overloaded?
Seriously, what's going on with workloads at McKesson? My team is drowning. We lost two people a few months back and haven't seen any replacements, but the deliverables are only increasing. It feels like we're constantly being asked to 'do more with less,' which is becoming the company mantra, I swear. Every project seems to have higher stakes and tighter deadlines, and there's just not enough bandwidth to go around. It's leading to burnout, and I'm seeing some really talented people looking pretty fed up. Is this isolated to my area, or is this a company-wide thing? Feels like something's brewing under the surface when so many teams are struggling to keep up. Any insights on what's driving this or if there's any relief in sight would be appreciated.
McKesson: Anyone hearing whispers about potential headcount reductions?
Hey everyone, been at McKesson for a few years now in [Department/General Area]. Lately, there's been a lot of buzz that's hard to ignore. It's not anything official, just the usual 'things are changing' talk and a lot of vague mentions of 'optimization' and 'efficiency gains' in all-hands meetings. Feels like the energy has shifted, and people are definitely on edge. Seeing fewer new projects starting, and the ones we have feel like they're being stretched thin. Anyone else picking up on this? Wondering if I should start dusting off the resume or if this is just a typical corporate cycle. Curious to hear what others are seeing or hearing, especially from different departments. Trying not to panic, but the vibes are definitely off right now.
McKesson: Rumblings of a 'restructuring' – what does it mean?
Been hearing some chatter from people in different departments about potential organizational changes or a 'restructuring' on the horizon. No concrete details, just vague mentions of 'streamlining operations' and 'optimizing talent.' Sounds like corporate speak for 'prepare for shifts.' I'm in [mention a general area like 'supply chain' or 'IT' or 'corporate services'], and the mood here is definitely uneasy. Are these just standard cyclical events, or does anyone have more specific info on what might be happening? Trying to understand if this is something I should be actively worried about in terms of my role, or if it's more of a behind-the-scenes shuffle. My manager is being tight-lipped, which isn't exactly reassuring. Just looking for any legitimate intel or experiences from others who might be hearing the same things. Appreciate any clarity anyone can offer.
McKesson: Anyone else feeling the pressure to 'do more with less'?
Hey everyone, just checking in. Been at McKesson for a few years now, and lately, it feels like the expectations are just… climbing. Not in a good 'growth opportunity' kind of way, but more like a 'how can we squeeze more out of the same resources' vibe. My team's workload has been steadily increasing, and we're constantly being told to be more efficient and innovative, which is great in theory, but the reality is we're stretched thin. Is this just me, or is anyone else seeing this trend? Is it a sign of something bigger coming down the pipeline, or just the usual corporate grind? Trying to gauge the general sentiment here. Hoping it's just a temporary squeeze, but the talk around the virtual water cooler is starting to get a bit anxious. Anyone got insights or similar experiences to share? Trying to stay positive but it's getting tough.
McKesson: Performance reviews feeling extra intense lately?
Is it just me, or have performance reviews at McKesson been particularly brutal this cycle? The feedback feels more critical than usual, and there's a lot more emphasis on "exceeding expectations" across the board, even for people who have been solid performers for years. It feels like the bar has been raised significantly, and the tone isn't exactly supportive. I've heard from a couple of colleagues that their managers are being very direct about "areas for improvement" that seem to go beyond typical development conversations. Makes me wonder if this is a prelude to something, given the general economic climate and whispers about adjustments. Anyone else experiencing this heightened review process?
McKesson: Seeing whispers about org changes - anyone else?
Hey folks, Been seeing some chatter on internal channels and hearing from people in different departments. Seems like there's a lot of talk about "organizational adjustments" or "restructuring" in the air at McKesson. Not hearing anything concrete about layoffs specifically, but the vibe is definitely one of change. Some teams are apparently being consolidated, and there's a lot of "re-evaluating roles" going on. It's making people nervous, to say the least. Anyone else picking up on this? Curious if it's company-wide or just certain divisions. The lack of clear communication is making it worse. Feels like we're all just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
McKesson: "Strategic realignment" talk getting louder?
Has anyone else caught wind of the "strategic realignment" chatter that seems to be bubbling up? I've heard it mentioned in a couple of different teams, and it always feels like a precursor to something. It's vague enough to mean anything, but usually, these buzzwords are used to soften the blow of restructuring or, well, you know. I haven't seen any official comms about it, but the grapevine is buzzing. It's making people nervous, myself included. Is it just a general business cycle thing, or is there something more significant brewing behind the scenes? Trying to get a read on the temperature here. Appreciate any insights or similar observations.
McKesson: Anyone else notice increased scrutiny on expenses?
Hey everyone, been with McKesson for a few years now and lately, I've been sensing a shift. It's subtle, but there's definitely more focus on budgets and expenses across different departments. We're seeing more questions about travel, training, and even some smaller project budgets seem to be under a microscope. It's not panic stations by any means, but the vibe feels more 'belt-tightening' than usual. Just wondering if anyone else in other areas of the company are experiencing something similar? Curious to hear if this is a company-wide thing or just isolated pockets. Not hearing any concrete layoff rumors, but this level of fiscal attention always makes me a little antsy, you know? Trying to stay optimistic, but it's hard not to read into these things.
McKesson: Project scopes shrinking?
Has anyone else noticed projects getting smaller or having their scopes significantly reduced recently? A few initiatives I was involved with, or heard about starting, seem to be getting scaled back before they even get off the ground, or are being cut mid-stream. It's subtle, not like major projects being cancelled, but more like the ambition is being dialed down. Fewer resources allocated, tighter deadlines that feel impossible to meet without cutting scope, that sort of thing. It could be just a natural ebb and flow, but coupled with the increased talk about 'resource optimization' I mentioned previously, it feels like a pattern. Wondering if this is happening elsewhere or if my area is just facing some specific budget constraints. Curious to hear what others are seeing.
McKesson: Hearing more about 'efficiency gains' lately
Lately, the buzzwords seem to be shifting. We're hearing a lot more about 'efficiency gains,' 'streamlining processes,' and 'optimizing our workforce' in town halls and team meetings. It's not overtly alarming, but it's definitely a change in tone from the usual growth-focused language. Feels like a precursor to something, even if nothing concrete has been announced. Anyone else picking up on this? Makes you wonder what the definition of 'optimized' is going to be for individuals if it's a major focus right now. My team's been told to track our time more granularly, which is a bit of a pain but also feels like they're looking for something specific. Just trying to gauge if this is a company-wide thing or specific to my department.
McKesson: My perception is that internal mobility is up, external hiring down.
Just wanted to throw this out there and see if it resonates with anyone else. Over the past few months, I've seen a noticeable increase in internal transfers and people moving between departments. On the flip side, the number of external job postings seems to have dwindled, and the few that are out there feel like they've been open for a while. It makes me wonder if the company is trying to reallocate existing talent before bringing in new blood, or if it's a cost-saving measure. Could be nothing, but combined with some of the other whispers about 'optimization,' it's starting to feel like a pattern. Anyone else picking up on this trend? Are hiring managers in your areas still actively recruiting externally, or are they leaning heavily on internal candidates?
McKesson: Observing a shift in project prioritization?
Hey everyone, has anyone else noticed a change in how projects are being handled recently? Feels like there's a subtle but definite shift happening. A lot of the bigger, more ambitious initiatives I was involved with seem to be either shelved indefinitely or have their scope dramatically reduced. It's not like we're explicitly told 'no more big projects,' but the funding and resources just aren't flowing in the same way they used to. My team's been asked to focus more on 'sustaining existing operations' and 'efficiency gains' rather than innovation. Is this a broader trend across McKesson, or is my specific department just going through a phase? Curious to hear if others are seeing similar patterns or if there's a strategic reason behind this. Feels like a precursor to something, and not necessarily a positive one.
McKesson: 'Resource optimization' talk seems to be ramping up
Been hearing the phrase 'resource optimization' thrown around a lot more in meetings lately, especially in my division. It's not overtly negative, but the context feels a bit... pointed. It's coming up in discussions about project scope and team structures. It makes me wonder if they're looking at where headcount can be reduced or realigned, rather than just general efficiency improvements. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a company-wide push or specific to certain areas? It's hard to tell if it's just standard corporate speak for 'do more with less' or if there's a more significant underlying agenda. The vagueness is what's a bit unsettling.
McKesson: Feeling a bit of a 'pause' on hiring?
Hey everyone, has anyone else noticed a significant slowdown in new job postings at McKesson over the past few months? I've been keeping an eye on external sites and also within the company, and it feels like the usual pace of hiring has really dropped off. It's not just one department, either. It seems pretty widespread across several areas I'm familiar with. Most of the roles I'm seeing are internal transfers or very niche positions. I haven't heard any official word, but the lack of new external hires is definitely creating a strange atmosphere. Anyone else picking up on this? Trying to figure out if it's just seasonal, or something more. Curious to hear what others are seeing or hearing, especially those in recruiting or management roles.
