I've seen people advise others to take Centene off of their resume to get another position several times
What professional roles do you have that don't conduct employment screenings of any kind? Are you flat out lying about your reference

Original question: Should I take Centene off of my resume. Answer: Yes. In fact some do and it helps. I'm sure you feel completely insulated and uninvolved in the continual fraud committed by Centene but hiring managers at other coporations see it for what it is. They may even respect the fact that you do not want to point out any affiliation. Find a way to showcase your skills without highlighting the fact that you gained them in a criminal enterprise. If you don't know how to make your resume reflect your skills without Centene, hire employment & Labor attorney.
Someone has a really unhealthy beef with the executives! Do you know who posted the original question? Because you've gone off topic and obviously is watching for responses. Are you saying this one person defrauded millions! So many questions😭
It's giving a whole melt-down!
OP, keep the damn job on there. Change careers altogether.
There are other ways to “fill the gap” besides lying and putting in another corporation. (I’m not going to help you) I find it fascinating that you can justify your dishonesty to perpetuate fraud in the billions against innocent people for Centene and have the ingenuity to settle it all out of court but you can’t come up with some creative solutions for your own resume.
I don't know why come here to anonymously troll in an anonymous thread.
OP, to answer your question, I think most people either aren't fudging the gap and are waiting it out. Or they are likely in an entry-level role that is so readliy abundant in other areas there are no significant checks/balances.
If you are on a management level or above you likely to have to go through an electronic background check system. In say maybe 5 of the roles I've interviewed for as a Manager and AVP, 4 of them checked for employment background electronically. Had I "filled the gap" with another employer, I would have been caught lying on my application.
All to do say...it's a gamble.
If you can’t figure out how to stuff a gap (no matter how many years) and pad a resume from damaging corporate affiliation, maybe you don’t deserve a position in another company.

No dip sh*t. I have an issue with covering a gap and losing out on an opportunity if caught. But since u obviously know a thing or two enlighten us.

Haha. No problem with ripping off the healthcare budgets of almost every state in the nation or constantly denying claims due to technicalities and bankrupting millions of Americans BUT "Lie on my resume?" Never!
You have a moral problem with fudging your resume? The corporation you work for promises to provide healthcare and works diligently to deny as many health insurance claims as possible. Do we need to teach you the ins and outs of how to cover a gap in your resume to hide the fact that you were working for a fraudulent company?
I agree fully with the previous poster.
No one outside of other health plans even know who Centene is. Therefore, use this opportunity as best as you can to use transferable skills that will land you a position in a different profession altogether.
I wouldn't take them off because you risk lying on your application and being rejected.
I think it depends what is used to verify work history. Work number for example only lists three of my past employers with a gap of employers in between. Like what happened to those employers? So I guess if I had left them out and work number had been used, yeah, it would match. I don't know what all methods HR departments have to verify employment.
Bottom line, I wouldn't leave employers out. Not all termination of employment were by choice but I simply explained the situation and in most of these cases, centene is laying people off. It's a reduction in workforce not in your control.
However, if people are sticking to only healthcare type positions, then yeah, there MIGHT be a stigma linked to centene making future employers hesitate but that's why you need to make as much of your application/resume match what they're looking for so they at least HAVE TO look at your qualifications.
Anyone's best bet is just to try and transition into a different field as best as possible because then centene won't matter. Who even knows what centene is other than other health plans or healthcare related industries?
