Can someone please explain “Shared Service “ model that Centene is implementing? Many people are wondering exactly what this means for jobs etc.
Disgusted
Centene literally flips us the bird every chance they get. Legacy Meridian didn’t receive bonuses last year due to the acquisition. The bonus this year was dismally low compared to previous years. I looked at the job listings and new reps are... — read more
4 day work weeks
Just curious what states have 4 day work weeks or if there have been recent changes in your state.
Waiting for severance
How smart is it to wait for severance? I know a few people who're determined to leave but instead of looking for a new job they're waiting to be laid off so they can get severance. First, I think that's d-mb in general since you can never know if... — read more
M pay bracket
Does anyone know the ranges per bracket? Ex. L,M
Any chance that they change their mind and give better raises?
I mean let’s be honest. The raises they are giving don’t even make up for the raise in living costs. People will just start leaving. I don’t believe a couple of percent more is that much of a financial problem to the company, and if they keep this up... — read more

So does anyone think the new CEO will make Centene better?
Be interested in knowing from this group opinions on the new CEO Sarah London and changes in leadership. Do you think it'll get better? Worse? Also was surprised to hear that Neidorff was on medical leave. (I'm a former Wellcare person who worked a... — read more
Centene phishing test the week of compensation meetings
The same day I received an email with my compensation summary, I got an almost identical email that brought me to a page saying something along the lines of "This is a company phishing test. Do not tell your coworkers about this so they can be... — read more
Why not turn the tables?
You are here because you are concerned about getting laid off by a company who no longer values its employees. Why not turn the tables? Centene is getting sued for many bad practices all over the U.S. and I'm sure that's only the stuff someone has... — read more
Never seen more than 2.5% raise
I personally have not seen more than 2.5% raise here. Given the overall situation, low morale, inflation and everything else... I believe that most will start looking for something better. I already know people for whom the bonus was breaking point... — read more
There is a better life out there.
I resigned a few months ago. I know how this will sound, but I make considerably more money and have an amazing work environment. When I tell co-workers about having to keep my mouse moving to show that I'm working, the dress code enforcers, and... — read more
Compensation meetings 3/14 - 3/24
Let’s discuss
They try to get us to stay by giving false promises.
Here it seems to have become common practice to give employees false promises that will never be fulfilled. My manager has given me false promises numerous times. I believed it the first time but now I am getting ready to submit my resignation. Of... — read more

Severance
For those of you who have just been laid off or were previously, did you receive your bonus and severance at the same time or were they sent separately?
Inflation vs merit increases and bonuses
Inflation is ki----g us in South Fl! I’m wondering if Centene is going to consider that w/ this year’s merit increases! That 3-4% will not cut it this year! We won’t have a “ home office” to go to due to rent prices and the 3x rent requirement! — read more
Wow Centene must really s—-k’

March Work From Home?
Has there been any chatter about what Centene will do for March as far as WFH? They haven’t formally announced anything yet.
Care Managers
What are your thoughts on the new changes to care management?
Layoffs would be the last nail in this coffin
There aren't enough people to do the work right now. If they cut any more there won't be enough of us left to get everything done. This is a simple fact. I would be happy to be laid off with severance. I'm overworked so that would allow me to take a... — read more

I'm just tired of it
Basically, I don't want to leave this company, but I want to leave the bad manager. This is a man who is tactless and lacks some basic communication skills. He is always ready to criticize, but the problem is that he doesn't know my job at all. How... — read more
Anyone work as a data analyst?
I've had a few interviews in different departments for the role of a data analyst. Just wanted to get some ideas of what it's like to work as a DA at Centene.
They are committed to making us believe our skills are less valuable?
After I took a role at Centene I found out I had replaced two people and one of them had a title (+ salary) higher than mine even though they had significantly less experience. When I brought up that >I was doing the job of multiple people and had... — read more
Management shouldn't lie to us
I was promised a promotion two years ago and I'm still waiting for it to become a reality. Whenever I ask about it, my manager has some story on why it can't happen then and there but it will soon. I'm getting tired of it. Why promise me something... — read more
We should be safe
Judging by posts here, there'll be plenty of those who chose not to vaccinate who'll be shown the door. That means that the rest of us should be safe for the foreseeable future, even if the quarterly results are not that good. The only way I can see... — read more

Anyone laid off from HN?
February is here! Let the fun begin.
Interesting to see how layoffs are done this month and how it will coincide with the earnings report due out on February 8th.
IL Meridian’s President and COO left the company
My team here in IL was notified this morning. Their last day was Friday 1/28
Unvaccinated Layoff?
Anyone know how many people are being let go due to being unvaccinated? And, is it for sure ALL unvaccinated? I imagine there are people at all levels of Centene that don't want to get vaccinated. I think today is the day for the layoff.
Severance Payback
For those that were laid off and accepted the severance package and then were rehired by Centene. Do they make you pay back the severance or can you keep it?
