Working in a large organization can be overwhelming and discouraging. It often feels pointless to advocate for yourself, as it might lead to being blacklisted. This sense of helplessness can impact every aspect of you. Even if you try to document your experiences, it can feel like a losing battle against a false narrative. This environment can lead to feelings of hopelessness and despair, making it hard to stay motivated and drive you to consider quitting or worse... quitting life. What in the world has happened to this organization?

I can completely relate to this post and comments that follow . I hired on with such excitement and passion to be with this company, grow, and retire. It’s only been 4 years with the first two being amazing . Now that the whole organization has changed, good ppl laid off, and cr-ppy bullies put into leadership/ lead positions, it’s a nightmare!!!! I’ve been waiting patiently, eagerly applying to other departments and companies with zero luck. I feel like I’m being kept on this bottom conveyor belt because of my knowledge and work ethics. I know the quality I bring to the company. I feel like I’m being held down for that reason. It feels like there is no where to go and I don’t feel valued or respected since the changes have occurred here. No recognition for anything , rather constant micromanaging and being targeted by the lead who seems to get away with everything even though our entire team has complained and our moral is in the toilet. It is a sinking ship and I can’t find my life jacket anywhere.
Nothing would be more satisfying than to see those who have kicked others to the curb instead of being supportive to their fellows employees when they were blacklisted for coming from Wellcare among other insecurities they've had they had to fend off from the Centene employees go down with the company once and for all. This company is toxic and unfortunately took Wellcare down. Let's face it - Centene employees were right in being afraid of the superior knowledge that Wellcare employees have of the entire healthcare processes and payment systems that they became so insecure they pushed out the good people. Like a lot of us already gone, keep the popcorn coming as this entire ship is sinking - it's been a great show so far.
I’ve been dealing with being blacklisted for years. Only chance I have is leave, get laid off, or my manager gets laid off. Since the last one will not happen, I’m looking or something new hoping I get it before being cut.
Yet the worse person in my team will be getting promoted, because he is loved by management due to his amazing skill on a__ kissing.
I’m sorry this has happened to you. It’s currently happening to me after almost 10 years. I pray every day because this is the worst feeling ever. One person tried to ruin my whole career here and when I reported it things quickly went downhill. They counseled them but nothing else. I’m miserable but my support system keeps me going.
There's nothing worse than walking into the gingerbread house a few years ago, wide eyed an excited thinking you FINALLY found a great place to work and maybe even retire from only to find out the reality of such a place and even worse, now feeling like you're imprisoned here because you don't know where else to go or the few places that seem like they may be a lifeline end up passing you by. I completely understand your despair. Unfortunately, sometimes we just gotta sck it up until we find a way to escape. Just keep holding on. You'll find your way out into bigger better places that won't be toxic. Been looking for my way out for two years with no real idea of where to look or go but I know that opportunity will come. Be patient.
Don't feel too bad. People are starting to see the truth about Centene:

I am sorry to hear these feeling of ousting you are experiencing. No job should hold that much power over you. Please please seek help and a better situation for yourself, it is not worth your life and you are worth more than how you are being made to feel in your workplace.
