Just listening to him fumble his way through the opening of the BTS leader call is painful. This man is who Sarah thinks is SVP, or more, material? Centene is doomed with current leadership.

What’s life like these days within the compliance organization?

Lots of out of office notifications. What’s up with that?

Anyone know? Information provided by Centene is not very clear.

Has anyone received their release notice? My separation date is September 4th but wondering if there is verbiage about not starting a new job for a certain time frame...curious what is in this release...

They're milking the company for quick profits while it lasts. Layoffs boost stock prices and pad bonuses, even if they hollow out the company for the future. They're not clueless. They just don't care what happens after they cash out.

I'm assuming their goal with that was to get people to quit on their own, so I'm just wondering if it worked on anybody.

Anyone know what we need from Centene to submit to our kids' college to redo the FASFA? Just before the layoffs I paid my daughter's tuition in full and that was all my savings. Guessing you can't get that back.

Is Tanya McNally also no longer at Centene? I see her showing as "presence unknown"........

Thoughts? They’re in the transition, why not? Shift a bit of sakes sales. Less risk and guaranteed a cut for Senior Leadership.

You know how when a party is winding down and there are just a few stragglers left. That is how my team is starting to feel from almost 70 at one time to about 17 left after ISP and VSP. It's been a gradual decline with a large balloon at the end... — read more

Those that took the VSP are not safe, I see the writing on the wall, micromanaging happening everywhere, managing people out! Get a lawyer to have in standby! I can't believe how tight Centene is but then again I can believe it. $500+ million for... — read more 

I applied for VSP and had an exit date of 12/2026. Started applying for jobs the day that I put in the application as I was seeing the writing on the wall of what was to come. Fortunately for me I had two interviews on Monday 08/10/2026, received... — read more

Has anyone had management ask them to withdraw their VSP? I'm curious whether the company has approached anyone about staying instead of separating — particularly people with a September 4, 2026 exit date.

Can we request to change our date. I have seen some comments that suggest dates moved up or requested a change as well as withdrawing, no information like this has been shared in my department by our leadership. TIA

I waited a while to post this. After seeing people posting about the VSP and Layoffs coming soon. First off, the layoffs started in Feb 2026. I know because I was one of the initial 137 Pluss laid off. I was with Centene for 7 years and was even... — read more 

Question - preparing to be laid off as we all should be, IMO. How does severance pay work - do you get one lump sum or is it continued paychecks based on your tenure. If the later, do the checks stop when you find new employment?
