12/1 lay-off here. My PL keeps texting me and asking if I've found a new position!!!?? WTH! You picked me to go in the first place!
Worst MCO
Centene (by whatever plan name) is the worst. Member health does not matter--staff are too stupid to do UM or CM. Providers abide by their comtract, but Centene staff are too stupid to even know what's covered or not--so deny covered benefits. Anyone... — read more
Centene is the garbage of healthcare
With the Sarah/Drew combo they have made this organization a corrupt corral, the worst part is what they did in quality, no escape from failure, they dethrone a top notch operator mid last year and this organization put the stamp on his grave... — read more
CMO is out. What’s next?
The CMO, Suzy Diprezio just announced that she’s out. The marketing org will report to Wade Rakes beginning 1/1. Is this a sign of more executive movement ahead?
Severance Payout
Any guess when severance will get paid out?
Change in job title
So rumor has it now that org restructuring is happening, job titles are changing and no increase in pay with it. Example :making a specialist I (in any area ) now will be a specialist II, and a specialist II will now be a specialist III . It’s like... — read more
Job offer
I was offered a job with Centene Oklahoma complete health but I’m doing all the research I can before hand. After finding this page I’m concerned! Why are they hiring so many if they are laying off?? Is this a safe place to work? I don’t want to quit... — read more
Genuine questions
I don’t work in claims, but I’ve worked in healthcare for a long time already and have a couple of questions. How is possible that claims can be offshored? Wouldn’t that cause a possible increase in data being lost/stolen by scammers? Especially... — read more
We can't blame everything on Sarah
Sarah just doesn't have the connections to ask for mafia style favors. Centene’s beloved Neidorff was a crony-capitalist gagster in a semi legal racket called "Healthcare". When he died President Bill Clinton, Missouri Senator Roy Blunt, Former... — read more
Centene Investors Day
These folks starting with Sarah and ending with Drew are the greatest bullsh-tters in the history of healthcare, all that much verbose to admit in a summary, they are shrinking in 2024 big time in Medicaid and medicare " strategically " oh well, not... — read more
NY and CA
This is a genuine question, I was snooping around looking at internal positions and was wondering why are the wages in NY and CA so low if the cost of living is exceptionally much higher than in other states such as MO, FL, TX. I had seen several... — read more
$4B in share buyback for 2024 - on top of $3B allocated for 2023
Almost $7B in cash went or will be going towards share buybacks. Always a debate if this can be used for employee benefits, employee retention, investment in the business vs propping up share price. Ex: 401k matching hasn't gone up in 15 yrs. — read more
Opinions on Severance payout date?
What are your thoughts? If you were able to sign your letter on 12/9, do you think they will process severance for payout 12/22? Does anyone think they want to payout what they can and be finished with us in this fiscal year?
Have they stopped giving promotions?
A lot of us have noticed that no one has gotten a promotion in 2 years and counting? Does anyone kow if they will start giving promotions again?
No Bonus 2023
Hearing bonuses are done for this year for individual contributor. I am positive, Sarah and other C level folks will get millions for their amazing work of doing nothing. Amazing how world work, no matter how messed up they are, they will always... — read more
Doomed to Failure
Sarah London and Drew , those two are a sack of sh-t, they have thrown so many people under the bus, and used so many people as scapegoats, worse they have lied about things and to the investors too, it is easier to unravel and see their... — read more
PL and Directors
They are watching this thread and others because my former director brought it up in a meeting to reassure the others they had not been notified. My PL spent my entire 60 days trying to have a moment with me, and constantly asking if I had another... — read more
Workday log in
Last day 12/1. Was sent workday login info to my personal email but of course when I try to login keeps saying invalid username or password. Anyone else having this issue or figured out how to log in?
General release Email from Centene@myworkday.com
Did anyone receive their email? We should receive this today. This is from the separation package: “…you will receive two emails from centene@myworkday.com on the morning following your termination date of 12/8. The emails contain a link and login... — read more
Question regarding holiday pay
Does anyone know if one is to submit resignation letter before Christmas will the company rescind holiday pay?
Shared Services
Curious as to how this is going to work. Say (hypothetically) you are now required to work CA, MN, NY , NC and PA LOB claims operations. I know that compensation for each state may vary for each role - some may pay more - some less. How are people... — read more
Thinking
You know what’s crazy. Prior to working with this company, I worked at another company (also in the healthcare industry) that had a revenue significantly less than Centene and I must say, they treated their employees like actual human beings. This... — read more
Performance Improvement Plans (PIP)
Seem new way to get rid of people is to overwork and stress them out!!! Making make mistakes and placed them on Pips that will lead to termination. Therefore you will not get any severance package or unemployment benefits!!
Money laundering
So for years Centene used the specialty companies to help fund growth and profits. When I started for the Nurse Advice Line it was always weird how the pricing worked for internal and external business for the same work. Externally we would sell for... — read more
CSR annual review question
So I’m unfortunately a CSR (and I say unfortunately not bc of the members or providers but because of the fact that they literally abuse CSRs). And when I got hired, my supervisor continuously hounded us like crazy to do good on our metrics, bc when... — read more
The lies
11 years working at WellCare was great... Until Centene took over. The last 3 years of changes was summed up by being handed walking papers. They consistently told us how great things were during meetings, as well as employee surveys asking how we... — read more
Safe departments? Or safe areas/states?
California was hit hard with the lay offs. The department I work for is directly affected by a lot of changes in California, like the star ratings and Medicaid losing multiple counties. I'm worried there will be more lay offs to my department when... — read more

Glassdoor
So I was just on Glassdoor taking a look at what is out there and came across ---- you guessed it Centene. Amazing how they let go 2000 employees yet they are posting they have 1204 open positions. I have no words. And the word is that they let go... — read more
For what?
You ever catch yourself working too hard and think, "I better chill, they don't pay me enough for this." Do more of that because it's not worth it anymore.
Illegitimate CEO
Let's be honest, Sarah was just lucky, she is the worse possible choice for CEO. Little experience in the payer space Not a leader No personable Not an operator Gossiping high school style with HR and Communications Not a Finance... — read more
All time low
The morale on my team is lower than it has ever been. Aside from layoffs- Centene taking away the floating holiday, internet reimbursement, no bonuses for employees grade A-L, raises that don’t keep up with inflation, never any thing from upper... — read more
United Way Campaign
The earnings this year are pitiful. Anyone else notice? It feels directly correlated to team morale

2024 Layoffs- confirmed.
Source- Internal. Cannot say more due to reasons we all know. But be prepared and be diligent. I don’t know who’s going to be targeted.
Severance Payment
August layoff person here in California. My package hit my bank account and it was taxed 40%. Anyone else see a huge amount of taxes taken out too? It's so frustrating to see that much taken out. Let's lay you off and then turn around and take 40%. — read more
