People are dropping like flies. Work is piling up as a result of it. We are all being asked to do more, more, more… when is this going to stop? Everywhere I look people are leaving. What is leadership’s plan to stop the attrition? This is a serious... — read more
Centene is a Garbage company to work for.
I just quit my job with Centene. Last day was Jan 4th. We were told all year long that dec 24th, 27th, 31st, and jan 3 would be paid holidays. On Dec 21st we get an email how those are now mandatory work days, but we will still get the vacation pay... — read more
We need more people
I think it's safe to say at this point that the only area that currently isn’t understaffed is management. Actually, I think that's where the real fat is. We could get rid of a third or even half of them and hire people who do the actual work. It... — read more
Is there anyone happy in this company?
I'm asking seriously. None of my colleagues even bothers to have a fake smile anymore. The atmosphere is really awful and it seems to me that there is no one left who is happy in this company and wants to stay here for a long time. People leave and... — read more
SCOTUS: No More Vaccination Mandate for Business Entities
The issue is now over. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-biden-covid-vax-mandate-defeat-liberals-fury
Flexible work solutions
Just curious. For those of you that came in after September 2021, were you giving remote work option right off? Or did they tell give you stipulations? I’m trying to understand how people coming in after me are able to work remote. I have been here... — read more
Layoffs & bonus
Why does everyone predict layoffs? Financials look good, what am I missing? Are we getting a bonus this year? I haven’t seen anything confirming this. If so, is it 100% funded?
No one should think that their job is safe
Some say that the next workforce reduction will not be that big since there are many who will be cut because they refused to take a jab. Do people really think so? I think that the unvaccinated will not "save" the job of the vaccinated in this... — read more
Layoff before bonus
Just checking if the information is correct that the person will still get the bonus, even if he got laid off a little before he was supposed to get the bonus? It would be really horrible to get laid off a few days before the bonus and therefore... — read more
Don't make the same mistake I did
Don't wait to be laid off or worse, fired, before starting your job search. I ended up being an unemployed applicant, and many companies I applied with took that as a green light to low-ball me. You lose a good part of your ability to negotiate when... — read more
Management and human resources have no idea what they are doing
No wonder this company is sinking.
Mass Layoffs in February 2022???
Just like last February I expect this February 2022 to be worse in terms of layoffs. No, I don't have any background knowledge of this, but my gut tells me it's happening and it will be more widescale then last year. What does everyone else feel... — read more
Where is this company going?
This company has never looked more disorganized. I think Centene has lost its direction. I can't even imagine where this company will be in a few years. Does leadership have any long term goals for Centene or does it all come down to short term... — read more
There is no such retention bonus that could keep people here
The retention bonus is a good attempt, however, I don’t think it will stop employees from leaving. Why? Because the problem here is not just that people think they are not paid enough, but a whole bunch of other issues as well. I know people who... — read more
The job market right now is hot and you have so many option
Leave and don't look back!
Who gets these bonus in February?
Is just the call center peeps the only ones getting this extra 1000 - 2000 bonus in February or ???? Does anyone know. Not one person has a clue , some where told and others not part of it WTF ?
Is there any talk of delaying return to office due to omicron?
Just curious if anyone here is in the know about whether or not return to office could be delayed due to omicron. I’m nervous about it.
Employee goals and Centene goals are increasingly divergent?
It would take an entire cultural upheaval - the kind that isn’t likely, and if it does take years - years of my life I’m not willing to waste. The org is too big. Too many acquisitions in too short of time. And the org goal just doesn’t work for me... — read more
Where’s the vision or strategy?
Has anyone seen a vision, roadmap or strategy lately? Where is Centene going? How do they plan to get there? I used to believe in our purpose and felt proud to be part of this team. Now I feel like we are floundering without plans. My team will... — read more
Still fighting
I was laid off from Centene in February this year. I didn’t accept the severance offered because like so many others, I felt my layoff was wrongful and I was offered the same thing as someone who had only worked 3 years to my 5. Shortly after the ... — read more
Here we go
So Mike announced he is leaving! What’s next?
Year End - Performance related layoffs
Hearing that using year-end performance review, most departments are tasked with the goal of identifying 5% of workforce that are performing below expectations to be eliminated. You should see attrition by year end and moving up in Jan and then... — read more
Don't work here
Do not work at centene. Most everyone has been laid off in So Cal. If you value your mental health, dont go. I just retired after 10 yrs here. I have never seen such mo--ns in management, and I am a professional. Run, fast. I am very happy... — read more
What would it take to make you stay?
What things would need to happen in order for people to stay here and do you see yourself still employed with Centene a year from now?
Can we have another round of layoffs?
Can I volunteer? I'll be happy to take a package to leave and never look back. I know I'm far from the only one. This would be an easy way to reduce the workforce while not affecting those who can't afford to lose their jobs or who still, for some... — read more
How are we still able to attract employees?
I would think that anybody who knows how to use Google or any other search engine would know by now what a cr---y place this is and how badly it treats its employees. So how are people still happy to join this place? How are we able to recruit... — read more
Unvaccinated get to continue wfh
So if you didn’t get vaccinated you get to continue wfh but those are of us that did get vaccinated are going to be forced back in the office. How is this fair?
HealthNet (Centene) in Southern California....pending layoffs?
I recently accepted an offer with Centene....training to start Jan 4th. Its supposed to be WFH. I'm nervous that they will play bait and switch for RTO? What does longevity look like in SoCal with Centene? I have another job offer with a local... — read more
Is it worth staying here?
That is, I am undecided whether it is worth going to a company where the atmosphere is certainly better (I know because a few friends work there), but neither is the pay significantly higher nor are the benefits significantly better? I believe that... — read more
Rumblings of return to work from home…
Nothing concrete and nothing confirmed, could be noise, but I’ve heard it brought up. Things are worse now than when they sent us to WFH the first time, what are they going to do?
Christmas Bonuses? Gift cards? Anything?
Has anyone heard or do anyone know if we get anything for Christmas? I’m leaning towards probably not, but I’m hopeful that they do.
This ship should already be under water
How can a place as disorganized as this still function at all is beyond me.
Do we get pay on 11-24-21
Does anyone know if we will get paid tomorrow since. Friday is black Friday and Thursday is Thanksgiving
Has anyone heard about monetary “awards” coming in Feb 2022?
I’ve heard some associates being told they will get a monetary award in Feb next year for.
Disciplinary Actions
If you haven’t uploaded your vax card you’ll be receiving a disciplinary actions email starting after Thanksgiving.
Cannot afford to quit
Most of all I would love to just come and give a notice, although I don’t have any offer yet. I'm not the only one, I know. Honestly, I would love to get some rest for a month or two before I start working for another company. I'm too tired. As... — read more
Who decided?
If you know your workplace flexibility status by now, who decided? My team is still waiting to receive a clear cut answer. My supervisor states it’s not her decision and she’s still waiting. However, every announcement that comes to my email, ... — read more

Wanna work from home? Don’t wanna go into the office? Start your own company & stop whining!
It’s very simple. Most of you have worked in an office most of your lives and now you don’t want to. Sure, working from home worked for almost 2 years. Sure, it could continue to work. But if your employer wants you to go in then GO IN. You don’t... — read more
