Announcement on CNET about 3,000 layoffs and 1500 open positions being closed. Impacted employees will know by the 12th.

Hedge funds win big shorting stock from companies that are too late to course correct. Centene seems like investment opportunity here with short sales. Any thoughts?

People, this is how the industry works. Centene is not different from it's competitors in the need to downsize and restructure following waves of M&A. This happens. Look at the thelayoff.com pages for any of the other top 10 payers and you'll see... — read more

Centene is very strict company... You get overworked and under paid. Not flexible schedules with PTO etc. Constant lay offs.

I have been with Cenetene for almost 3 years. This is becoming more of a prison sentence than anything. They are constantly buying out companies. Where is people going after Cenetene? I need a change fast, but feel like I’m enslaved to my salary. :-(... — read more
