I can think of 100 ways to spend those BILLION dollars on member care, offering affordable plans, paying our providers on time, expanding our network and not to mention saving layoffs. Who am I ? Except not a CFO.
Centene will fall
This organization once a jewel of St Louis has turned into a nest of power hungry vipers, they have wronged so many people, they have made so many bad decisions, the new CEO and some of the newly known accolades are ra-ing the place and burning it to... — read more
Bonus with Severance
Does anybody know how they will pay out a bonus for those that are eligible or if it will even be available it was kind of odd wording in the paperwork in workday, right after I received the news I was laid off.

What I have heard is that there are 2 more rounds of layoffs coming by end of year. Medicaid/Medi-cal will be hit the hardest given the numerous lawsuits against Centene for overcharging. Not sure what other lines of business will be effected - nor... — read more
It's all about cutting costs these days
Whatever happened to striving for excellence? What happened to making sure to keep the best people here, instead of getting rid of them? Nobody seems to care about that anymore. Mediocrity is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged. I'm almost... — read more

No Bathroom breaks
It has gotten to the ridiculous point where I work (remote worker) 8 hours straight in all day meetings where you share your screen with the whole team and you cannot eat or drink or go to the bathroom. This is inhumane and degrading. I would rather... — read more
Insensitivity on all levels…

It's just not right
It's really frustrating how layoffs always seem to target dedicated employees while overpaid management remains untouched. It's a pattern that's not easy to ignore and it's incredibly unfair. It's disheartening to see hardworking individuals... — read more
Talk of more layoffs
I thought we were done with layoffs for a while. Why am I now hearing more whisperings about even more cuts coming our way before the end of the year? What is going on?

I’m thinking they will cut a total of 14 percent maybe 15 , thinking 65000 employees left or little less once done. We will see.. horrible.
Anyone negotiating severance?
Just curious if anyone has tried or thought about trying to negotiate their severance?
Told not to talk about last week...
I just found out we're not suppose to talk about what happened about anything that happened last week because it's being monitored on teams!?! This place is a disgrace on so many levels...
Things to know
My heart sincerely goes out to those of you who have been impacted. I was laid off during a previous ‘round’ several years back during Covid, and let me first say I personally know how you are feeling … it is completely eviscerating. The only... — read more
POC disproportionately affected
Has anyone else noticed that people of color were disproportionately affected by lay-offs? In my team, the majority of people impacted were black and brown... This seems odd in light of Centene's supposed DEI.
the new way to build morale
My PC was replaced by IT last week, and I informed a friend that it was a brand-new machine. My friend burst out laughing and said, "It's used exactly like the one before." Now, however, IT is only permitted to utilize equipment that appears to be... — read more
I don't feel like it's the weekend

Has All 2000 people been notified?
This is so sad. Centene worker for 5.5 years. So sorry for all who lost their job senselessly Is this round finished?
Performance doesn’t matter
Was laid off, been recognized for going above and beyond, exceeds expectations, etc. Don’t bust your tail for these people - it doesn’t pay off
For all who did not laid off.
Quite quitting is the way to remain sane. It is simply doing the job you're being paid for and nothing more.
Internal openings
Anyone laid off have an internal position in the works?
Severance pay
8 wks pay for someone who worked in IT for a year and hal. You're welcome
