For all laid off - once you lose your health insurance, Centene will offer a plan that will cost you $1000 to $2000 per month. Genious!

All - FYI - If you get an email with the subject line stating “Checking in, please prioritize.” you'll know that you will be laid off. That's what they did back in August and I think they are still using the same process.

Not sure if this has any relation or relevance to the layoffs but I certainly found the timing interesting. You can copy the link: https://reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/DcgZiX54gG

How come he zipped on the topic of layoffs in 2024 so quickly that most employees didn't catch that. he clearly said there will be more layoffs next year. if they know they are putting employees on the block they need to let them know ASAP.

Was it based on quality? Performance? Tenure to the company? Tenure to the team?

When they know they screwed up, we're suddenly all a family. Except when you're being laid off. Then it's nothing personal. Just business. Right?

You get 1 chicken sandwich for every year worked !! Not a bad deal .

Let's give Centene exactly what it deserves.

Suggest that the company look at other ways to avoid layoffs, such as NO more private jet's to go to meetings that could be done by office on zoom. Supervisors and above do not need resort type meetings that can be done by zoom or in the small... — read more

What is her role exactly? The example about Boston suburbs and how she can apply same at Centene frankly made no sense. What did I miss?

Because I certainly can't.

As Drew was flying through his remarks it seems that he accidentally said too much. It does appear that many missed it though. He stated over 3% were to be laid off in 2024 and quickly ran to side track with comments about hires for 2025. Hold... — read more
