He expects a cut, notes that it will be sizable but 'reasonable' (whatever that means). When I pressed with numbers did not want to share anything. I said 20K, he said unlikely, I said 10K he said maybe. Take it for what it's worth. I typically trust... — read more 

Apologize if this is insensitive. Start date in mid-July. Talent and PL kind of wishy washy about impacts to my new role come September. I’m just gonna ride it out but feels surreal. Anyone else starting soon and get any answers?

Here is what I am thinking and I’d like to know if it even makes sense. What are your thoughts on if you apply for the VSP and you get approved, you were probably going to be laid off later. But if you don’t get approved, that means you’re needed and... — read more

I will not reveal who I am or what I do in the company. I have heard some concerning numbers for the VSP and layoffs. Is it true they're aiming for 12,000-18,000 layoffs?

Those of us taking VSP should wear a Hoody on our last week in conference calls in honor of the fearless leader. 😄

Those who have gotten an offer, if they accept, they can still be refused? Is that true? What's the point then? I didn't get one, but if I did, man, I'd be pi---d.

Centene are you freaking serious???? Sending out surveys asking for our opinions right now??? You don’t care about us and leaving us in limbo for weeks not knowing what to do or expect and you send out a satisfaction survey. Please save your time and... — read more 

Have a lot of people been applying for jobs or just waiting to see what happens first?

The VSP makes sense for me. I am fortunate and I know it. And I get the fear of everyone. I have heard via a high ranking person within the company that pretty much everyone that asks for it will get it. They might be kept beyond the 9/1 date due to... — read more 

What positions are considered NOT business critical?

I am trying to do my best to finish the month of June strong productivity wise. Will leadership look at our first half of the year performance in determining who they keep in the involuntary layoffs? Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.

If we knew that once this is all over, once VSPs and involuntary layoffs are done, we're good. We can relax, we can do our jobs without worrying. Sadly, we all know that even after all the stressing and anticipation, once this is over, we'll just... — read more

Has anyone heard any further updates?? Any idea to how many is applying for the VSP? What are they considering “critical roles?” This waiting and not knowing is about to get to me. I cannot focus on anything but this.

More than half of my team is not meeting productivity due to lack of work. We’re all getting verbal coaching done. Our PL just said in order to not be laid off we need to meet but it’s impossible. All of this is just crazy to me.
