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

Resigned rumors? Anyone else heard anything?
Meets Vs. Exceeds
Did anyone get an "Exceeds Expectations" on their review. It seems that everyone no matter how often you exceed expectations still gets a meets. Is it even possible to get an exceeds at Centene?
12 Employees just laid off
