Bonuses?
Does anybody know if those remaining are getting a bonus before the next round of big layoffs? I know some people are saying they were given their bonus upon being laid off. But it doesn’t seem to be true for all.

Ageism with RIF...?
Noticed that the average age of Centene employees that were part of the RIF was 50 years old, youngest was 39, oldest 74... so don’t tell me that even after the 1967 Age Discrimination Act, that it doesn’t exist in Corporate America. I am sure that... — read more

Leaving this here
Employers are ideally looking for an employee who has the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and wants to work for the pay of a 20 year old. And if you're out of any of these categories, pack your... — read more
