While employees wait to find out if they’ll have a job when the VSP determinations settle, and the layoffs ensue, here’s what Centene’s top leadership has accumulated in company stock. Executive Approx. Stock Value 2025 Compensation Sarah London... — read more 

I'll probably be checking my email at midnight on Sunday lolololol

Had such a hard time working Friday thinking about what will happen. It's Saturday and the only thing I can think of is what's going to happen on Monday. Anyone else feeling anxious?

This is the last weekend until 7/27 when everyone who accepted the VSP finds out their last day. Starting Monday, it's going to be a reckoning for managers and PLs.when they find out how much of the work force is decreasing. I'm getting on that... — read more 

Does anyone have any insight on how they have handled previous reorgs? Do they assign you to a new role? Are you given options? Do you have to reapply? Is it simply this is your new position starting this date or you can leave?

On top of everything else. What an absolute pile of junk this company is. I actually believe the mile long load of BS I was fed for years. Was this filed under “doing what’s right” or “doing what’s easy?”... — read more 

If, after all this, Monday comes and I find out I got refused, I think I'm just going to up and quit. I can't handle the mind games this place has been playing with us for months. I guess that could've been their goal, and I hate to say it, but it... — read more 

Will we get the email from VSP in our personal or company email address? I keep checking back and forth. They said we will be notified on or around 7/27 so I am hoping to get something today. Tired of these waiting games.

Does anyone know the meeting title that is used for a layoff meeting? Also, who typically sends these out? Is it from HR or your people leader?

Regarding the layoffs at Centene Corp., the real problem is management, not the boots-on-the-ground employees. There are too many layers of unnecessary management pulling in great salaries. Middle management is mediocre and exclusively focused on... — read more 

We're down 30 percent headcount and still expected to deliver the same output. With the VSP and probable subsequent involuntary layoffs, who knows how bad it'll get for those of us left behind. Can someone please tell leadership that people aren't... — read more 

Finally stretch! I wish they would let us know already. This wait until Monday is giving me major anxiety vibes. If on the slim chance anyone gets their notification Friday, please let us all know please!

What is up with so many “Town Halls”

Occasionally both my laptop and external monitor blink black at very precise intervals. It's happened probably 2-3x/yr since we went WFH about 2020. Now it's becoming more frequent. It almost seems like a screen shot is taken exactly every 10 min... — read more 

What can those of us do that are feeling like we are being retaliated against for taking the VSP route. I do care about my job and I want to leave on good terms.

We have so many rumors and so few details. It'd be great if we started getting proper information instead of just little scraps.

I am just amazed at how people leaders and the uppers have applied for the VSP. Like what do they know that we don't?

Was told by HR/VSP line that no one has been sent an approved VSP package yet. How did some of you know you were approved when HR is saying no approved emails have been sent out?

I submitted for the VSP. As things kept getting pushed back I started looking for work. New job wants me to start August 3rd. Still no word from Centene. Submitted my resignation yesterday. No severance but I am so ready to move forward. Best of luck... — read more 

There were so, so, so many better ways do do this. Ways that wouldn't have half of us on Xanax just to get through this with our mental health intact. Who decided to do it this way should be fired immediately.

Anyone else received a meeting invite from Brenda Bermudez at 3PM EST? No context at all.

I think the biggest surprise will be how many of the PL's everyone has been talking about on here are taking this themselves. I have gotten wind of names of people that have been approved and lots of VP's and Directors that have been around awhile... — read more

I just want to know if I’ll be submitting my notice next week. it’s already drafted. I’m not staying past September. I am DONE. who else plans to resign if their VSP is denied? I know some people will be like, “oh that’s what they want you to do so... — read more

The reported win comes ahead of Cognizant’s second-quarter earnings, scheduled to be announced on July 29th. Cognizant technology is expected to automate medical billing, claims processing and customer service operations.

If you are leaving Centene which new industries are you looking at? Or are you staying in health care in one capacity or another? I am concerning leaving health care.

:) They don’t care about you xoxo

Weird for HealthNet to donate 4 million to a random housing complex in California when we are laying off people. You're actively making more potential homeless people. Fingers crossed for everyone.

If i get rejected im gonna lose my sh-t

I am passing on the VSP. If they give me the layoff after with fewer options....I'm not doing s**t until my end date. I'll be only working on my resume and leads! Good luck, all!

I don’t know about the others in this group but I believe they need to quit with the surveys and come on with the VSPs. Quit wasting our time so we can get on with our lives and figure out the next steps. Would these people want people ja--ing around... — read more 

For those who mentioned their VSP was extended and allowed them to choose an exit date: which state are you located in? I applied but haven't received any updates or info on my application yet. I’m in California.

To CNC Representative Trolls. Please refrain from voting ‘down’ on honest dialogue. Very obvious you trolls!!! Mission Simplify This!!!! 😄

Does anyone know the % of # of employees they wanted to reduce for the VSP Phase? Or altogether goal?
