Just was wondering if layoffs could start as soon as first quarter is done. Is April shaping up to be the prime month a shakedown could happen?

The job is so stressful, the pressure so relentless, that I can never unplug. Workdays are write-offs. I just exist until the weekend, hoping to finally decompress. And it never happens. Seriously, how is everyone else coping with this?

Like there was another option! ACA Membership is sinking like the stock price. You couldn’t increase membership if you had to. And as for the other mantra, “No margin, no mission”? Well that “mission” is unique to the US. The “mission” doesn’t exist... — read more 

Stock is almost below $38. Piece of cr-p.

Yall were right! I just got my raise last week and pulled in a meeting to get let go this morning. I am apart of the team that is one of the merger companies. Damn!

Big town hall on the merger today. What is everyone thinking? I've already seen some people have left/been let go. Has anyone seen their org charts yet? Layoffs expected?

I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer here, but AI is no where near artificial intelligence but more of a language mirror able to apply some logic. But Centene seems overly gung ho to implement it everywhere. My team has been getting Chatgpt... — read more 

My manager says she hasn't heard anything definitive about more layoffs. The rumors are flying though. This uncertainty is worse than knowing for sure.

Ride lasted for 10 yrs. One thing is clear - you have to be your own boss, companies don't care(rightly so) about you, only the bottom line. Enhance your skills, take up part time gig(let this be a wake up call) Am back on unemployment line for 12... — read more

Earnings report day! Before opening bell too, I believe. Looks like the poster who thought last Friday was going to see massive layoffs was off by one week. Earnings may be okay for Q4 2025, but outlook for 2026 and beyond is gonna su-k.

It’s Friday. Last business day of the month. Seems like a good day to reduce headcount. Anybody get called into a last minute Teams meeting with your very complicit PL and an HR stooge yet?

I heard there might be changes to community relations and related outreach. I work with that group but have been off on a leave. Have there been any changes? Same leadership or new?

Today we have a townhall meeting that is 30 minutes long, every other townhall we have had was always one hour, I am kind of concerned, but I also know Centene has their earnings call February 6th and if that goes badly, I am positive we will see... — read more

Centene's operations is complete chaos. It cannot get any worse. We have a Chief Operating Officer who is supposed to fix this. Why does Susan still have a job???? The blame does not lie just with Sarah. Next level leaders are equally responsible.

Excellent corporate strategy playing out in the Marketplace division.
