Are you going to wait around and see when and if you are lucky enough to take that train ride to the Capitol to get severance, or will you start looking for bread in other districts? Allegedly, layoffs will be happening THROUGH February 2024. That’s... — read more
Rich Chong
I keep reading those under Rich Chong will be affected the most. What departments under him are you all speaking about?
The AUDACITY!
The absolute audacity. Finding out about the layoffs this week through social media. Having employees wait until todays town hall to see what departments will be effected. Most do disgusting display of “humanity” I’ve ever seen. Laughing, jokes... — read more
October Engagement Survey Delayed
Employee engagement survey is delayed and not occurring in October. Reeks of hoping this blows over so. The Company Engagement scores don’t tank. Guess it saves a lot of CAP planning at least.
Why are people clapping
It's so crazy that people were clapping after hearing that 2000 ppl won't have a job and then started talking about ice cream like nothing happened then later bragged that they will make 16 billion

Layoffs for you, private jets and steak dinners for me
Disgusting display during today's Town Hall meeting. They planted two people in the crowd to ask softball questions and disabled comments on the zoom call. What a bunch of cowards.
Going Away Gift
When ex employee health insurance runs out at the end of December. They are offering you one of their 1 Star Health Plans at a bargain price of $800 to 2400 per month during severence period. That will be your out of pocket monthly premium cost.
Question
Are they going pay out any vacation time if we are laid off?
Who cares!
So many of us are worried if we are going to have a job next week and these people are joking about someones favorite ice cream flavor! SERIOUSLY?
Who's getting laid off
Im a customer service rep. I don't know If I will be laid off. They don't tell us
Townhall should have been after layoff
Poor judgement to hold this townhall this week. Should have the townhall a week or so after the layoff. Because l keep thinking what do l care about all of this bs, l do not know if l am going to be a part of this organization as of next week.
The crowd...
The "crowd" is much smaller than normal. A waste to have it at that venue. Could have met in a lunch room at any office. Obviously hand picked audience.
"Centeam"
Stop calling us a team when you make 13 million and I can't afford to see my health care providers
Main Layoff Thread: Repost
Posting a link to the main layoff thread to bring it back to the top. https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1oNUjeJa#OP
use this thread to discuss townhall
is it me or do they all look nervous?
15 min till this townhall kicks off
Waiting to see how the poet talks about something that was suppose to be under wraps it'll it was too later for the employees. This will be a great sh-t show.
Department
Do anyone know if this is affecting specific departments or across the board? Is it affecting Billing & Reimbursement in Florida?
Stay Positive, Stay Productive
I'm sick of this "stay positive, stay productive" BS being spouted by leadership when 66k+ are on pins and needles wondering how we're going to survive financially if we're one of the unlucky ones. I'm one paycheck from living in my car and I know... — read more
October 2
Has this been settled as the layoff date?
At-will Employment
Enuf Said for those complaining about c-suite packages are barking up the wrong tree. If you want to change this, send me a message to your senators or representatives or the Governor.
A few facts:
Just a few facts: We, the people, as taxpayers, pay for Medicaid and Medicare companies to exist. Centene settled on an over 200 million dollar lawsuit in the beginning of this year for mistakes that they made. Broken down, that’s over $100,000... — read more

C-Suite Exits @ Centene
Does anyone notice that C-Suite exits aren’t noted by the CEO to emoloyees? i.e. Anika Gardenhire, Mark Brooks Curious what you think?
It's insane that Centene is laying off IT staff
It's insane that Centene is laying off IT staff. As a non-IT corporate employee, my perception is that the company is already ghastly under supported by IT. Other large Healthcare orgs have invested significant sums into their IT organizations and... — read more
My productivity is dead

There will br future layoffs
I feel bad for those who have been laid off and I hope they find a better career. However i am not sure why people are surprised with the layoffs. Centene acquired multiple companies to integrate into their platform, business practice ...etc with the... — read more

WARN - ask for investigation?
Does it make sense for folks to contact local/fed offices and call for an investigation? A simple subject line “please investigate Centene.” Some have reported being laid off as early as June and throughout Aug. Are we not owed the true total since... — read more
Layoffs have already started
People are being laid off. It's just surgical cuts instead of a major round.
Centene should ask for volunteers
I wouldn't volunteer, but I know a few people who'd be overjoyed to leave with severance. Why not give them that chance and maybe allow a few people who want to stay and would otherwise be affected to keep their jobs? It would make it so much easier... — read more
Older employees will be targeted once again
Mark my words. I wouldn't be too worried if I was new. We all know what this is all about. This will be another culling of older employees. Those of us who make more because we earned it over the years through hard work and dedication and now have a... — read more
COBRA Details

Volunteering to be laid off?
Is this even a possiblity? I was planning to leave in January and I'd have no problem quitting right now so someone is saved.
