TLDR… I think all employees should quietly strike by not attending the Town Hall in person at Raymond James stadium. Read below for the thought process.
This honestly is a terrible look for Centene leadership in so many ways. Most everyone is aware there was the first round of layoffs that occurred back in August with most people given until October before they were let go. Nothing was formally communicated about this by executive leadership and it should have been. This was a bad look for executive leadership.
Fast forward 2 months when those individuals are actually leaving the company, another round of employees are being notified that they are being let go. This was supposed to be hidden from the public, employees, etc, but the truth was made known by an unsuspecting employee. Once again another terrible look for executive leadership that no communication was forthcoming.
To top it off because of the leak it now has to be addressed as part of our previously planned quarterly town hall in Raymond James stadium, which was not supposed to happen. The town hall was going to be used as a morale booster for employees because behind the scenes everyone knows they could be next on the chopping block and we have already gone through one round of this.
The fact that Centene is still holding the event in Raymond James stadium while firing 2,000 employees comes across as a company who truly does not care about their people and would rather spend absorbent amounts of money on hosting an event that could be used to even save one employee. I guarantee you if executive leadership came out and said we decided to cancel having the event in Raymond James stadium so we can preserve one employee it would be so much better received by everyone. It is not rocket science, you do not give the perception of spending frivolously while also cutting employees. This is the fastest way to ki-l morale and lose trust throughout the organization, which ultimately will affect how customers are treated.
Having said all of that, I think all employees should quietly protest attending Raymond James stadium in person in an effort to stand in solidarity with employees that they should not be spending excessive amounts of money on these things when hard working individuals are losing their jobs and may not be able to provide for their families. Just my 2 cents!
