My team was just notified that anyone under Jen Drexinger is losing the flexible schedule option. You now have to pick a set schedule and stick to it. If you log in more than 15 minutes late it's considered a tardy. Not sure when it goes into effect... — read more
CENTENE spoken about on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
I watched the Segment and I’m so happy John Oliver called out their bullsh-t!!! Highly recommend. It’s on YouTube.
Happy to quit!
I hope you don’t find this message insulting in anyway, I just cannot contain my excitement any longer. I finally, finally, finallllyyy put in my resignation. I got a new position, different company, different field. And I literally screamed from... — read more
How do you feel about your pay increase and/or bonus after reading this?
How is this even justified given the stock performance? Health Payer Specialist Centene’s 2023 Pay Boost For C-Suite Averaged 30% CEO Sarah London saw her compensation rise 40% last year. By Ron Shinkman|April 1, 2024 All members of the Centene... — read more
Centene a Poorly run Company
Centene has a CEO that is utterly unqualified to run an enterprise like this, not a clue with so many great leaders in healthcare with histories of success they chose as such, maybe for being a woman and an ok story teller, but the true is she ... — read more
Sarah and Drew, suggestion to move the stock price up
I have never seen an IT organization which has so many VPs, directors and senior directors and less worker bees. Can Centene IT have max 5-6 layers of management instead of 10 or more and have more worker bees? That will lead to more efficiency... — read more
Centene Layoffs April 2024??
Can someone please give more information on this? Is it just BTS? Is there anyway to tell when and who is getting hit?
Wow, poorest experience
My last working day is approaching, following RIF of my entire department. HRBP said our health insurance coverage continues for 3 mos, but documents today said it ends in about 3.5 wks. If they treat their employees this way, I can't imagine the... — read more

Word on the street - Centene Layoffs coming!
So - from upper leadership, they have identified the next rounds of layoffs (hearing hardware folks - not sure what this means atm). They will be notified in April 2024 and will be exited in May 2024. This will not be like the last time where they... — read more
Did they just let go few SVPs?
What happened?
Don't be surprised if layoffs in this place
Don't be surprised if layoffs in this place, Centene under Sarah/Drew is not only poorly run, is also the most treacherous, backstabbing place you can find, this people smile with you, tell you how great you are and tomorrow fire you. No even in the... — read more
Centene's Reputation
I wasn't an employee very long with CNC, but if they ever had a good reputation in the industry...it's gone now. I hate they are on my CV.
New Layoffs? Townhall today
In the town hall today they said they “could not rule out” more layoffs, and some areas still need to be “right-sized”. Anyone have info on when the layoffs will happen? If they are saying that much in the town hall, you can pretty much bet there... — read more
COLA?
Anyone get a cost of living adjustment in addition to their annual review percent increase? Some on my team did while others did not. How is the decision made on who gets a cost of living increase if inflation impacts everyone?
Advancement is a joke at this company
I’ve been here 5 years. Every single application I have put on for a position outside of my department has been denied. I haven’t even made it to the office interview stage. They talk all this cr-p wanting to keep talent in house. Rarely happens... — read more
New rules
Maybe our team had more lenient supervisors in the past or the one we have now is so stuck up in her a$$. Forcing us to use PTO for something we can make up the same day or same week is wild to me? Also said leader wants everyone to start and... — read more
Another round of layoffs coming.
Today in BTS all teams meeting, it’s clearly stated by our CFO that another round of layoffs will be happening soon. I am thinking they want to go in the route of AI heavy and reduce headcount.
Check Fidelity! They silently reduced retirement!
They just keep taking and taking and taking.
Why do you think the company has decided to treat its employees so poorly?
Prior to January 2023, I’ve heard great things about this company. But since then, it’s one negative thing after another. Even veteran employees are either planning on leaving or gone. What changes occurred? Do you plan on staying or leaving?... — read more
Survey Results
It’s disheartening by the recent survey scores. I can't speak for every leader but it’s unfair for those leaders who inherited a new team right before the survey is rolled out and blamed for the low ratings. We’re slapped with, do better and find... — read more
80% of employees are women
70% of them are in leadership role meaning they decide who to hire and fire
Applying for our jobs.
We have to apply for the jobs we are in!!
BONUS criteria
Does anyone know why some are getting bonuses and some are not? I have colleagues that are not corporate who are getting the bonus and I’m with corporate and not receiving. Why some and not all?

Did anything useful ever come form a Town Hall?
Was there ever a single one that was not a colossal waste of time?
Lower bonuses
Anyone notice that bonus amounts (if you get them) were lower this year? I’ve heard from a few colleagues that bonuses were lower despite the percentage increase.
Legos and tacos
If the talking points from today's Town Hall are any indicator of what Centene Executive Leadership talks about in their own private meetings then it's no surprise why this company is taking a nosedive.
Question
Do you guys think, that perhaps one of the/or possibly, the main reason why the company is becoming more toxic and hostile to work for is because they want us to quit rapidly rather than let us go since layoffs and firings cost more? The only reason... — read more

Would I be disappointed if they laid me off - absolutely not
I, too, many years ago thought that this would be a great place to grow and have a career. Unfortunately the constant turnover in leadership and unworthy motives has turned this company into a travesty. It amazes me how some in this company are... — read more
Growth mindset training
Any other non manager get a lead growth mindset training? Didnt they send these out around layoffs last time?
No regrets
If you're on the fence about walking away, let me tell you that I don't know a single person who quit and regretted it. I know because I've been considering leaving and I've been asking around. People who left my team in the last year are all... — read more
I got to the point that I wish to be laid off
I wouldn’t mind being laid off in this coming wave of layoffs (well, coming, or never ending?). Toxicity, poor management, imposed stress often for the sake of just keeping us on our toes, have been getting to me for a while now. There must be other... — read more

COO Town Hall Hold Meeting, Layoffs incoming, Cat's out of the bag
hey everybody. I got a meeting hold for like 3 different days from the COO talking about "production analysts attend meeting if sent an invite" or something. What do you think that means? Am I safe? Anyone know who's affected.
Chong - gone rumor
Resigned rumors? Anyone else heard anything?
