I’m curious what conversations are happening across the company. Have your leaders: Told you they expect your department to be relatively stable? Suggested your area could be significantly impacted? Discussed how workload, business need, or... — read more
Calling brave and informed LEADERS
Since this platform is anonymous, are any people leaders willing to share what they know? Just give us what you can without exposing yourself. How many need to accept VSP to prevent layoffs? Will layoffs hit all business lines? Seeing post after post... — read more
Separation agreement and release
It is BS that we are not provided this information (Separation agreement and general release) so we can make an informed decision. The vsp line is a joke. They pretty much do not answer any questions and refer you back to the question and answered... — read more
IRR testing
For UM/PA staff, the IRR testing starts August (?), what happens if someones signs up for VSP but didnt pass? I personally never failed an IRR so dont come for me and leave nasty comments. Just genuinely curious if it holds any weight for people... — read more
Why are you applying for the VSP? Why are you not?
Just wanting to get your perspectives on this. I still can’t decide!!
Leaving Centene with a package is not a bad thing
Take it from somebody who was laid off last year. Looking at where the company is now, I can safely said that being cut helped me dodge a bullet. I'm honestly relieved to be out of there. Severance was more than enough to get me to my next job (took... — read more
Solid high performing employee and I think I’ll get canned
15 years of integrity… hard work… caring about members…. and I know I’ll get let go. I’m too good at what I do. I won’t accept promotions either. My gut feeling tells me this is the end. The writing is on the wall. I’m reading the tea leaves here... — read more
And so it begins..
Ford Motor Company had to rehire hundreds of veteran human engineers after artificial intelligence and automated quality-control systems failed to match their expertise and resulted in design and manufacturing issues. AI lacked human intuition and... — read more
The waiting is the worst
Waiting is the hardest. This is torture. Let people know now, now that it’s out there!! and what is out is from June July August and Sept. then what? Ki-ling the summer and then what…..the holidays? Knowing now is more humane than later. People need... — read more
NCM’s - What is our fate?
I’m an NCM on LTSS, which we know has always been considered a “money maker” for the company, but, on a serious note, what do we think our fate is? I know AI can’t completely do our jobs, but, I’m still very fearful.
Has your People Leader gathered their team and addressed the VSP concerns of the team?
My People Leader has not spoken to the team. People Leaders on other teams in different departments have met with their teams as a whole and with individuals. I refuse to believe that the PL don’t know who will be impacted by the future layoffs.
Words of Encouragement
I sincerely feel for everyone at Centene who is feeling lost, unmotivated, angry, and downright exhausted. If you feel like this is not the company for you any longer, I want nothing more for you than to find somewhere you can thrive. However, in... — read more
So Disgusted
For so many reasons. I actually liked work and thought good company. Worked hard but was ok with that. Now we VSP and your performance doesn’t matter been here 9 years meeting the metric etc great reviews and am now getting the same package as... — read more
Anything new? (Week 3 of this stuff)
Hey everyone. I posted here kinda ominously last week and I was kinda freaked out. But I've kinda just accepted that whatever happens happens. Has anyone heard anything concrete new?
separation agreement and general release
Who can provide a copy of the separation agreement and general release? VSP line says they can’t provide it. HR states they can’t provide it. Who will???? Going in blind not knowing what we are agreeing too.
VSP offer vs Take Home pay
Everyone should ask chatGPT what your take home pay would be in your state after taxes. What I would actually get to keep is almost cut in half after taxes. Makes the VSP offer less appealing.
When to accept new job offer?
Based on the language in the VSP offer details, does anyone know if accepting a job offer before your last day with Centene and before you officially sign the VSP agreement will void your eligibility for the VSP and you won't receive your severance... — read more
VSP Deadline fast approaching!!
Still unsure if I want to sign the VSP. Feeling really unmotivated.
Feeling defeated, tired and angry…
I really thought centene was a great company when I joined. I thought I had a pretty solid team with great leadership. Only to find out it was all a facade. My leadership still refuses to address this issue with empathy towards the team. The director... — read more
Will an unemployment claim be possible, if you accept the VSP?
Based on the way the VSP is written, will an unemployment claim be approved? Assuming yes, when should you file the unemployment claim?
Trainings...LMAO 🤣
Just got hit with two emails about two CU trainings that are "required to be completed" by October 27: Annual Ethics and Compliance Training and, naturally, Annual Security & AI Risk. Read the room, Sarah. Read the room.
Another Week Looms
it’s 2am on the east coast. I’m wide awake knowing 8am will be here before I know it. I’m dreading another week of “hey! how are you?” “I’m good! how are you?” “let me share my screeeeeeeeen.” can we just not. I don’t want to talk to anyone and... — read more
One Big Beautiful Bill
I highly recommend reading up on the “One Big Beautiful Bill' signed recently. Understanding the details of this legislation provides a lot of insight into the broader industry shifts, which explains why the company is offering the VSP and discussing... — read more
Tuition reimbursement
Does anyone know if you have tuition reimbursement if it has to be paid back for being RIF'd or if you decide to take the VSP?
The Hunger Games... part who knows I lost track

Supreme Court Allows Trump to Strip TPS
Has anyone been keeping up with this? Many will lose jobs/careers again with this latest decision handed down last week. Opportunities will become available for natural born citizens again as well. There are ups and downs with this one:... — read more
Cobra coverage
If I don’t elect the Cobra coverage, will I receive the money that I would have paid toward my regular medical coverage in my lump sum?
How is the VSP saving Centene money per employee?
I saw in another thread on here that taking the VSP will save Centene money in the long run. If the next round of layoffs don’t include any severance, how would it be possible to save money for Centene through the VSP?
Severance
So let me get this straight. If you accept the vsp you get 4 extra weeks of pay. If you get laid off, you get severance but it’s 4 week smaller than the vsp check?
Can't wait to know if I got approved
Anyone else is anxious or looking forward to July 15th or some sort of notification that your VSP was approved or is just me?
I’m just a little surprised about how many didn’t see this coming
Publicly traded company that relies solely on government health programs to make money. Trump administration has been moving to gut those programs membership over the last year and a half. Majority remote workforce viewed by leadership as expendable... — read more
VSP Denial
in the slim chance your VSP application is denied, what is your plan? I can’t decide whether to put in my two weeks immediately or wait for the layoff notification. I’m leaning towards putting in my two weeks. I don’t believe the business will... — read more

What happens to state contracts?
If plans have contracts with states, how will this affect those? They can't pull out of a state until the contract ends, can they? What happens when staff leave or are let go & the company can't fulfill the contract requirements? Can states sue?... — read more
Am I Naive?
To think the VSP is the morally right thing to do and the company really doesn’t want to lay off people who want to stay. Maybe because I have seen jobs dissolve and they try to place those displaced in other positions.
Computers
Silly question that I probably know the answer to but for those taking the VSP do you think Centene would wipe our computers and let us keep them? It’s so much better than my personal computer lol.
Negativity
I truly do not understand some of the negative comments on these posts to people trying to navigate through this scary time. We are scared and stressed about what to do. We are all looking for just a little compassion and understanding depending if... — read more
