Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

Fortune Fluff Piece / Dead in the Eyes

https://fortune.com/2026/03/24/centene-ceo-sarah-london-health-care-insurance-trump-medicaid/

Fortune just dropped a fluff piece on Sarah London. It’s a masterclass in fluffy bootlicking. How much did the company pay for this pile of trash?

They call her a "mission-driven" savior fighting for Medicaid. Ba-f!

Let’s start with the photo. It’s awful. She looks completely dead in the eyes. There is zero warmth. Zero humanity. Just the cold, vacant stare of someone who fires thousands of people and then complains to CNBC about her "stressful schedule."

Fortune gushes over her "social impact" goals. They forgot to mention her $20M paycheck, while the company posted a $6.7 billion net loss last year.

She isn't driven by a mission. She’s driven by a massive bonus while her company burns and she runs MFN's legacy into the ground.

She's just a Layoff Queen who talks about "operating discipline." That’s corporate-speak for firing people. We all painfully know how many thousands of lives she's ruined with her inept leadership and lack of strategy. No amount of glowing praise from "Culture Karen" can redeem her.

"London Calling" started her career in Hollywood. It shows. She isn't a healthcare executive. She’s a storyteller. A pretty face with a vacant stare. This is just her latest script. She talks about "affordable housing" to distract from the fact that her business model relies on denying care and firing the people who do the actual work.

She is the ultimate corporate grifter. High on rhetoric. Low on ethics. Exceptionally well-compensated for failure. She isn't fighting for Medicaid. She isn't fighting for her employees. She’s fighting for her next glossy magazine profile. I've never seen anyone fail upwards so well.

Former employee, still have shares, still underwater. Fluff pieces don't drive share price. Period.

London's setting herself up for the next few board positions and a cushy retirement.

@kc I liked your first half but hated the second and now I don’t know what to do with my hands.

@bh As much as we all appreciate you mansplaining what a CEO does, I suspect you're one of the hacks responsible for this minor fiasco. Working overtime, trying to put out this totally avoidable dumpster fire. I almost feel bad for you.

Truth be told, if this article was decent or competent, it would have been pushed out on the Centene's Linked In or Sarah's page. Neither is the case.

You clearly don’t understand how press works or what the job of a CEO entails. She actually cares, is incredibly smart and can make the tough decisions. I’m guessing she is the reason you even have a job, if you even work at Centene or were you fired?

How can she still be employed? And is this the best kind of filler content the Comms department can churn out? Embarrassing for everyone involved.

@am That’s unnecessary. And besides, she’s an automatic 7 if she’s below 2 bills in Missouri! Her bank account certainly doesn’t hurt her either.

"A pretty face with a vacant stare" works but like, she isn't pretty at all lol. actually very ugly for a skinny white blonde woman, who are usually the most beautiful by far. deeply ugly face

That’s probably a little rough. She’s the CEO and she’s acting like one. I’ve worked under far worse Fortune 500 CEOs. That said, I don’t think she is around here much longer. It’s pretty apparent the job is taking a toll on her health. At worst, she’s probably a wine and cheese progressive who wants to do good up to a point. You’re typical NIMBY.
