Do anyone know if this is affecting specific departments or across the board? Is it affecting Billing & Reimbursement in Florida?
Stay Positive, Stay Productive
I'm sick of this "stay positive, stay productive" BS being spouted by leadership when 66k+ are on pins and needles wondering how we're going to survive financially if we're one of the unlucky ones. I'm one paycheck from living in my car and I know... — read more

Has this been settled as the layoff date?
At-will Employment
Enuf Said for those complaining about c-suite packages are barking up the wrong tree. If you want to change this, send me a message to your senators or representatives or the Governor.
A few facts:
Just a few facts: We, the people, as taxpayers, pay for Medicaid and Medicare companies to exist. Centene settled on an over 200 million dollar lawsuit in the beginning of this year for mistakes that they made. Broken down, that’s over $100,000... — read more

C-Suite Exits @ Centene
Does anyone notice that C-Suite exits aren’t noted by the CEO to emoloyees? i.e. Anika Gardenhire, Mark Brooks Curious what you think?
It's insane that Centene is laying off IT staff
It's insane that Centene is laying off IT staff. As a non-IT corporate employee, my perception is that the company is already ghastly under supported by IT. Other large Healthcare orgs have invested significant sums into their IT organizations and... — read more

WARN - ask for investigation?
Does it make sense for folks to contact local/fed offices and call for an investigation? A simple subject line “please investigate Centene.” Some have reported being laid off as early as June and throughout Aug. Are we not owed the true total since... — read more
Layoffs have already started
People are being laid off. It's just surgical cuts instead of a major round.
Centene should ask for volunteers
I wouldn't volunteer, but I know a few people who'd be overjoyed to leave with severance. Why not give them that chance and maybe allow a few people who want to stay and would otherwise be affected to keep their jobs? It would make it so much easier... — read more
Older employees will be targeted once again
Mark my words. I wouldn't be too worried if I was new. We all know what this is all about. This will be another culling of older employees. Those of us who make more because we earned it over the years through hard work and dedication and now have a... — read more

Volunteering to be laid off?
Is this even a possiblity? I was planning to leave in January and I'd have no problem quitting right now so someone is saved.
What do you think about this post?
TLDR… I think all employees should quietly strike by not attending the Town Hall in person at Raymond James stadium. Read below for the thought process. This honestly is a terrible look for Centene leadership in so many ways. Most everyone is aware... — read more
California Impacts
Does anyone know which departments in California are being affected?
Shocker…
Centene and it’s affiliate “local health plans” have been laying people off in phases for MANY years to avoid having to notify regulators. This summer many across the enterprise were notified that their last day would be the first week of... — read more

Bad Sales Management
None of the Managers or Directors have any Sales Experience! How can you manage Sales people when you have never sold?! All the management comes from Meridian. It’s a mean girl club. You don’t have to have experience but if you were my friend at... — read more

New CIO?
Are they replacing Brian Leclaire with Ajoy Kodali or this is just an addition of another high paid executive? Just seems strange to have two CIOs when so many good people appear to be mercilessly laid off left and right at all levels?
