Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

To Shareholders, HR, and the Board so keen, Here's a riddle for you, seen on a screen:

In a place where politics eclipse the task,
I despise my job, behind a hidden mask.
Layoffs, oddly, seem a relief,
For this workplace brings no peace, only grief.

It's not the work itself that I resent,
But those you appoint, who misrepresent.
"Toxic" falls short, it's far more severe,
What price do you pay to those puppeteers?

I love the craft, the work I do,
Yet this company taints it, through and through.
What must occur for this to cease?
With employees disheartened, profits will decrease.
As you streamline, will you still uphold,
The OneCenteam vision, once so bold?

The problem is and always has been 'middle management' or aka 'high school mentality', 'mean girls' and 'unprofessional HR teams'. Seriously, lies lies and more lies to justify their bad leadership and inability to teach, train and motivate, give positive feedback and an honest desire for underlings to succeed and grow? No, the middle management and lower management are living in a world where they are the 'abusive parent' and you are the 'children' whom they loathe. It's pathetic but in every corner of this company. Leaders don't question the grudges the high school managers have that shouldn't belong in a professional position - instead they promote their selected 'prodigy' who barely has an independent thought. Keep working mules!!!!

This company makes me want to watch the Grinch year-round. “Hate, hate, hate. Double hate. Loathe entirely.”

On a less direct note and in a gentler manner: One Centeam appears to have borrowed its culture from WellCare’s One Team motto. While the idea is excellent, the implementation seems to be flawed. I don’t think the blame falls entirely on the top leadership, but rather on certain middle management individuals who are fostering a harmful environment. Nonetheless, it’s important to recognize that such an atmosphere often originates from the top down. The top leadership has the authority to address these issues, but have they truly considered the trust they place in their subordinates?

I hope that future layoffs will effectively tackle this issue by removing those who spread this negativity. It is essential to eradicate this adverse environment to make One Centeam something to be proud of. If the current discussions on this board aren’t enough to underscore the problem, what steps will be taken to resolve it?

@Another liberal arts major who shouldn’t be employed here.

Or another person employed there who knows better than to speak in their common and predictable vernacular for fear or retaliation. But you seem like the real peach and genius. They need people like you. It fits the culture it seems. Have fun!

@At least give mental health PTO days and hazard pay for mental hardship. A few may be able to deal with toxic bullying leaders with extra benefits if you can’t get rid off them.

It’s a toxic workplace, support is rare,
They isolate you, though they pretend to care.
With smiles and lies, they promise hope,
But their actions reveal a selfish scope.

Help you ask, perhaps they might,
But more often than not, you’re further belittled in spite.
Communication ceases, under constant watch,
Management’s efforts, improvement they botch.

Peers for support? Don’t even try,
Interactions scripted, discomfort sky-high.
Forget the laws, equality’s a jest,
This place serves only the selfish at best.

Advocate for rights, you’ll soon find,
Buried in lies, their narrative designed.

Can they give a retention bonus for the employees that have been overworked without a promotion? Favortism is common in decision making especially for those that have no work or known to openly not work or don’t know the job and refuse to learn it. Its hard working in silos. Thanks in advance
