Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

Centene really wants to go so far down the toilet. They want UHC to purchase and bail the company out. It is part of the 10 year plan for universal healthcare. All managed care will be owned by UHC.

I would like to throw that thought proces out there of even attempting to bail and pick up a same paying position before Feb 2024. Best of luck with that. And WHY would you leave your paycheck and possibility of a package with unemployment later? (I KNOW UI is not enough to pay bills but it gives you a small cushion while trying to find a job) Yes, there are comparable jobs out there in the same industry, but I can promise you, you aren't getting any interviews for weeks if not months, then factoring in end of year, and financials have already been set, as have hiring freezes with these other companies. Clean your resume up and start looking, I am newer and left my long term employer for similar walking on egg shells peace.

I have well over 10 yrs at the company. If I leave for a new company and in a year or two they do layoffs then I don't have the kind of severance I have if I stay here and wait for it to happen.

And I can't even imagine feeling all that safe from layoffs at a new company, most companies have some sort of regular layoffs at least every couple of years if not yearly. Often it is hush hush and most ppl don't even realize some departments had cuts.

Now if you can find that small company that is doing great and making small but meaningful growth - growth they can actually manage correctly. That could be a great opportunity.

My advice - update your resume and start applying now. It may take a couple months or more to land something new.

If you get picked for a RIF then you will likely get some form of severance.

Play your cards right with timing and you could get paid to leave while working elsewhere. Double bank. :)

I was thinking that too. I can't believe some of the things I am reading. Like boycott the company, quit, tell States not to contract with the company. So it isn't bad enough that the company had to downsize, but you want them to go completely out of business? You want 70,000 people to be unemployed? Who would even wish that on an organization that provides so much for so many people? Smh
