Centene as London's Personal Piggy Bank

Have you all noticed that London pulled all the funding Michael Neidorff had threw out St. Louis and the surrounding areas? It's not only in Missouri, but in the other states too. This is why we no longer have the website that would give employees tickets to events or why we no longer get the Employee Day at the STL ZOO. I heard she got a new jet and she herself said in one of her "London's Calling" video that she "heard it in the hallways in Washington", where she makes notion that she is always up there rubbing elbows with the government. London used Centene as her personal bank account.

My Job

So my work right now is dealing with reports, and I spoke to my coworker who was like if you are gone she won’t be able to handle it. She told someone else on my team, you better think twice before getting rid of her. The colleague said her leadership is not getting rid of anyone on my team. Another female on my team said she’s training someone else to do her work. So I’m confused. We are all females if you are like what’s happening .

The problem is deeper than layoffs or bad management

Qualcomm's whole culture is built on insular thinking. They hire people right out of school and those people never leave. So promotions happen based on seniority, not ability. Those in charge think the way we do things is the only way. And now they're making terrible decisions. No surprises there.


Your Obsession With RTO is Telling a Story

I was laid off from USB after 15 years of strong performance. It was really hard especially at 50. But I adapted and landed a better job in a difference industry, smaller company and I’m really happy here.

Occasionally, when I see a LinkedIn headline about someone leaving USB I’ll come here to see if they’re still laying off at the same pace. You’re not going to like this, but I want to be blunt with you for your own good.

The endless debate on here about return-to-office policies must be a very useful barometer to the leadership as they make decisions about headcount and offshoring.

The one thing you all agree on is that this is the darkest point in USB history. Okay. I don’t know about that, the stock price higher than it’s been in years. But let’s say you’re right. So during crisis, you all want to focus on d-mb stuff like how much will I have to go in to an office? Which days count? What’s the minimum I can do and remain employed? That tells me there is plenty of mediocrity left at USB and they should keep cutting.

If your primary concern is whether you have to spend two or three days in an office, you are focusing on the wrong thing.You have choices. Level up. Learn faster. Contribute more. Build relationships. Become the person people want in the room. Or find a new gig. What doesn’t seem to be working for you is treating office attendance as the defining issue of your professional life.
