Denied: your claim. Approved: Mizzou jersey sponsorship.

Is the executive revolving door at Centene a sign of the end, or just a major pivot?
With so many executives leaving, it's hard not to wonder is Centene on its last legs, or is the company just going through a brutal restructuring? Now we have a new CFO coming in from outside the healthcare industry. Will bringing in non-healthcare... — read more
Question for leadership
Did Centene ever re-hire the people they fired for not getting the jab like the military did? If so…..NO THANKS, we learned that our life is way better off without working for Centene.
Requesting Professionalism?
The health-insurance industry is the largest barely-legal fraud in America. The guy who started Centene was a money grubbing thug. The people running the company now have Zero morals or integrity. You make major profit by denying people... — read more

EBOS Townhall Sad Continuation
We finally had the EBOS Townhall, postponed repeatedly after the VSP and RIFs started. Depressingly cringe, like trying to give a team halftime pep talk when 30% of the team left, 30% injured and the rest left to make up a 100 point scoring deficit... — read more
Org chaos - look at any org
The CN org structure is crazy - random look at any org. I looked a Procurement - don't know a single person. VP head - 6 direct: 1 Sr Dir, 1 Dir, 2 Sr Mgr, 2 Mgr. Lets just look at that 1 Sr Dir - under is 1 Sr Mgr (3 under), 1 Mgr (2 under), 1 Dir... — read more
SIU Is Only The Tip Of The Iceberg
If Centene is serious about understanding what is happening within Corporate Ethics & Compliance, then stop looking at individual employees and start looking at the people making the decisions. The problem is much bigger than SIU. It extends across... — read more

This is an absolute mess all this that's going on. Wonder how well 19 mill helps someone sleep at night. What a nightmare this has all been. I could have thought of a better way to handle all this and gotten a much lower pay🤦 🍿

VSP Tax Withholding
is there any way to opt out of the tax withholding for the VSP? I understand the possibility of owing next April, but that’s not my current concern. I am in Florida, so no additional state withholding.
Horrible Leadership
