Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

Nah nah nah nah, hey!!! #Goodbye

This all has been a sequel of The Twilight Zone. Responsibilities are broken down into so many departments, it creates additional and unnecessary dependencies, which equates to difficulty meeting deadlines and completing tasks—especially when you account for people out on vacation and the business having to wait for them to return (because “no one else knows” what to do). Have y’all never thought to cross-train?! Good grief!

Many employees don’t know who to reach out to for anything outside of what’s in their tunnel-vision. I am so tired of hearing “I don’t know” accompanied by the lack of effort to find out or forward an email to someone who might know. It is sickening! I am also tired of leaders in place who have absolutely no experience in managed healthcare claims, contracts, configuration, legislation & policy, etc.. I’m here because I have a passion for what I do. I’m not here just for the paycheck. Therefore, I will and can find other employment. Why are YOU really here?

I have NEVER in my life had a LEADER ask me to teach them the business—EVER! I have never had a LEADER who couldn’t draft a decent email to provide DIRECTION (pun intended). I have never had a LEADER who had a meltdown in a meeting because their employees were asking questions looking to gain clarity where the waters were extremely murky. At this point, I don’t care if I am laid off. I’m accustomed to being stressed about meeting deadlines. For these last three years, I have been stressed about the lack of accountability, the lack of guidance, and the lack of expertise from leadership. You couldn’t honestly expect success to come out of this. LOL

I knew this was coming. So much money has been wasted. It is a low down and dirty shame. And for the smart a-s who said that people are being let go because they “can’t form a coherent sentence”, you would be at a loss for words too if you knew how bad all of this was before this news got leaked. Lastly, I have never seen so many talk so eloquently and professionally about absolutely nothing. Y’all talk in circles. It sounds good, but there is no movement. Nothing is getting done, nothing is accurately documented, there is an embarrassing lack of clarity, no one is held accountable, nothing is escalated, no one reads emails, you lack a sense of urgency, and most importantly, you lack governance. Anyway, back to what you call “business” as usual. Enjoy your pie, and God bless the clean up crew. 😉 #GoodLuck and #GoodRiddance #Hopefully

I was part of marketing and truly loved what I did and cared enough to get people to take notice of members who cried for help. Then was let go after marketing went to an agency that decided they didn't really need healthcare experience. See how that went? Then CNC decides to hire even more people with no healthcare experience to take, SMH.

Sounds like a meeting I was on except the associate was casting a sh-t storm in our call then cried wolf when they were called our. Can see both sides of the coin.

Centene buys tons of smaller companies, subsidiaries, and then wonders why everything is piecemeal together.

It's a big Mr. Potato head company with parts from 100s of different Mr. Potatoes!

I would rather teach and train a new leader the business as long as they wanted to learn and had the drive and determination to take that knowledge and properly lead us as a team than deal with a leader who knows the business but thinks it is okay to lash out at us on calls just because they’re having a bad day.

This is why this place su-ks. Leaders are unwilling to listen to their people and their people are unwilling to help their leaders. What a sh-t show on all accounts. Hope they eliminate the bad leaders and equally as well as the folks with the mindset that they are too good for change. Good riddance.

These are friends of friends who hired and promoted more friends. The job was definitely not filled with experience or professionalism in mind.

Silo mentality. People know who these you described are, it’s no secret across the organization. They just don’t care because they won’t be held accountable.

I second that. All of it. As someone who supports a shared services team, it's mismanaged badly. Nobody knows who's on first and how to navigate situations that aren't "local" to one health plan. My team has been screaming from the rooftop for over a year about the lack of shared services support but it continues to get more convoluted by the day. It's a clusterf*ck and operational leaders don't know who the true decision makers are. There is absolutely a need to clean up shop in terms of who is accountable for what and if that takes cleaning house I'm here for it. I worry this won't do cr-p though to address the root cause, which is simply lack of expertise in the right leadership roles (I too have literally helped my own boss write an email because they didn't know what the heck they were talking about).
