Centerwell has destroyed my mental health over the past 4 years to the point I've had to go on meds just to cope. I'm in my 40s and never taken meds before. My doctor of 15 years told me to walk away because he has never seen me in such a state. I've been applying and applying but the job market is tough right now. When I heard of buy outs, I was so excited thinking I'd have a way out and buy myself some time to find another job. Then, I realized I'm a couple of years too young and that was a huge let down for me. I feel so trapped and so helpless. My boss is a tyrant and the bosses above her are even worse. There is so much pressure that I'm crying almost every day. I can't afford to just quit but my mental health can't afford to take this every day either. This is not okay and now I have the added worry about being laid off with less benefits than a buyout. Please, someone in power look at what is going on at Centerwell and do something about it!

@OP I understand you can't quit but maybe start doing a job search and get something lined up so you can leave. Your mental health is more important than staying
I feel everyone's pain. Such a stressful environment, no transparency. When i'm on PTO i get outreached to about questions since there is no one else to cover me. so over it
@OP I have often wondered the same about why cw leadership has been allowed to be so inept and just cruel, really. It's like there is no oversight from the mother ship. Sorry about your mental health, I feel it too. Everyone I talk to here is under so much stress, they are to the breaking point. Sadly, it is going to get much worse here from now through 2026.
@ae I heard that same message!!!! A CHW taking her child to check on a patient on Mother's Day! What message does that send! Sacrifice your holidays with your child (while violating HIPAA) to check on a patient while you're making 55k and given nothing in return! That is what CW celebrates and promotes! CW demands ALL of you while throwing you scraps. I could not believe that story was put on front page especially with the hipaa violation!
@OP healing prayer we have gotten so use to poor treatment my friends who left said it took 6 months to feel normal...and for what? A townhall praising people for working on weekends taking thier kid to make a home visit? What message does that send?
I too have found this job to be very very unhealthy in so many ways. The first manager I had made me cry daily and so so stressed. I have had great managers since then, but the job itself is so unbelievably micromanaged with even having to go to the bathroom when Humama allows it. For those who think people who work at home are slackers, they clearly haven’t seen how Humana sets things up for their workers.
