The same day I received an email with my compensation summary, I got an almost identical email that brought me to a page saying something along the lines of "This is a company phishing test. Do not tell your coworkers about this so they can be tested too. You may be contacted to take a security training". This is a malicious corporate practice to put in place the week your employees are looking to save their annual merit increase documents. I am disgusted Centene used a misleading tactic to simulate a malicious attack. What will this do for employee morale? Will employees who failed this phishing test be put on a list? I now worry I may lose my job.

Girl, I fell for it too. It’s not that big of a deal
You fell for a phishing test. The company needs to have awareness on this critical issue. You aren't as smart as you think you are.
Disguising a phishing test as your annual compensation email within the same week is malicious. Phish tests are common practice in corporations, but this test is LOW for Centene.
Reading too much into this one it seems. We have been receiving phishing e-mails to test our ability to detect outside threats for the past several years. Its published constantly on CNET security champions who reported the phishing attempts. I have even received that I had flowers delivered on Valentine’s day! They (and other corporations) use scenarios like this close to the employee to ensure we are mitigating threats to the organization.

Well what do you expect? Centene is looking so unethical it's insane.
