IT Unraveled - IT Professional Molina Healthcare Employee Review

IT CIO: calculating, unqualified, duplicitous, prejudiced, string-puller who has single-handedly undermined the character of the IT department by using preferential and unethical hiring practices. Before his arrival, the IT department was a melting-pot of cultures and ethnicities that reflects the true character of the “Molina Way”. Now, it's devolved into a dominant ethnic group and anyone outside of this circle is devoid of any opportunities unless you've compromised your integrity and are willing to carry out, in some cases, unethical and possibly illegal practices. He is costing the company a lot of money by deliberately championing low business-value projects with hidden costs that exposes the business to more risks. In this time of economic crisis when the US workforce is at the highest level of unemployment, Molina IT has contributed to the unemployment rate by 'laying off' long-standing, Molina-loyal employees with the subterfuge that the Molina IT department was over budget. Ironically, these employees were efficient, dedicated and cost-effective in contrast with the H1B, onsite and offshore consultants that were hired to replace them immediately afterwards. Molina as an organization has acquiesced on sending almost all of its job opportunities overseas and by hiring mainly H1B visa holders for these positions. It's shocking that Molina, being a steward of the State and Federal funds, chooses to send our “nickels” to hire predominantly non-US citizens. This hiring practice is based on the fact that the H1B employees and onsite/offshore consultants will assume a submissive role and carryout any directive without question or without regard of the ethical consequences and also because of the risk of losing their visa sponsorship if they were to do so otherwise. Corporate leadership has turned a blind-eye for the sake of the bottom-line in spite of the costs they have incurred to their morals, dignity and integrity.
