Do we think the government has “the people’s” interest in mind? On a side note, below is a partial list of politicians transactions of just Centene stock last year alone. Interesting how they all seem shocked at the actions of health insurance... — read more
Tomorrow is the 6th of February and you know what that means!!
Earnings report day! Before opening bell too, I believe. Looks like the poster who thought last Friday was going to see massive layoffs was off by one week. Earnings may be okay for Q4 2025, but outlook for 2026 and beyond is gonna su-k.
Will she find her thrill on Capitol Hill?
Enjoyed seeing the CEOs of United Healthcare and CVS/Aetna getting scolded by different members of congress last week. How can we make sure Sarah doesn’t miss out on that fun? I need to see her explaining all her little “High Touch Initiatives” put... — read more
Possible Changes Incoming and Other Thoughts
Last week CMS proposed a Medicare Advantage increase of 0.09% - basically nothing compared to the 2025 3.7% increase - all in the face of increasing medical costs, significant turbulence, and troubles in the industry. I would not be surprised if we... — read more
Firin’ Friday?!?
It’s Friday. Last business day of the month. Seems like a good day to reduce headcount. Anybody get called into a last minute Teams meeting with your very complicit PL and an HR stooge yet?
Community Relations Changes?
I heard there might be changes to community relations and related outreach. I work with that group but have been off on a leave. Have there been any changes? Same leadership or new?
Townhall Today
Today we have a townhall meeting that is 30 minutes long, every other townhall we have had was always one hour, I am kind of concerned, but I also know Centene has their earnings call February 6th and if that goes badly, I am positive we will see... — read more
Layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026???
Any truth behind a previous post that claim that layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026? We are entering the final 3 days of this supposed truth about when layoffs are happening and nothing major has happened. With the stock... — read more
Operations are a mess.. Who is in charge?
Centene's operations is complete chaos. It cannot get any worse. We have a Chief Operating Officer who is supposed to fix this. Why does Susan still have a job???? The blame does not lie just with Sarah. Next level leaders are equally responsible.
New week, no work. Nice job, Sarah!!!
Excellent corporate strategy playing out in the Marketplace division.
Thank you, Sarah London!!!
Exceptional leadership in a time of great uncertainty. You haven’t wavered on the core principles that Centene emphasizes. I, for one, appreciate that. Too many haters on here. I am glad we have you and wouldn’t want to work under anyone else. The... — read more
PHCO reorg?
PL told us a reorg was planned for PHCO. Does anyone have the tea?
Sarah London is clueless
The people who run this company do not know what to do! Every directive we get from the top makes no sense and makes all of our jobs harder! This business is built on collecting free money from tax payers and the Idots still cant make it work!
MHS Indiana
I have an opportunity with MHS Indiana, however these post make me rethink my decision to take the position?
Do they kick you out right away if you are going to a competitor?
In the title but just wondering if they kick you out right away if going to a competitor (even if you give a 2 week notice). Want to see if they would pay you out for those weeks regardless.
Severance - has anyone successfully negotiated for higher amount?
Looking for advice on how best to ask for a higher severance amount. Has anyone recently been able to successfully negotiate higher.
Laid off today - within business ops
Few of us were laid off today. Given 2 weeks notice and severance.
Centene Layoffs: January 12, 2026 - January 30,2026
Ok so are we sure layoffs are expected over these next 3 weeks. Per sources on here should we be expecting some news of layoffs over these next 3 weeks. If anyone has any information please share. Thank you.
Layoffs
It’s very quiet in our area. I am wondering what’s going on. Awhile back people were talking their heads off now it’s quiet as a mouse around here. Work is is slimming down and all is being said is leadership is busy. Something seems off
CIU
Has anyone had experience with having a meeting with the compliance investigation unit that can give me insight? We’ve had several on our team go through these meetings and end up fired due to our previous manager and it is making our region very... — read more
Centene Legal Department
What’s the culture in the legal department?
A warning about thinking the grass is always greener
I've seen a pattern recently where several former coworkers who left a while ago for what they thought were better jobs are now quietly reaching out, asking about coming back. Their new roles had hidden problems, worse culture, or just didn't live up... — read more
Burnt out
Is it normal to feel completely and utterly burnt out, to the point where even the thought of work gives you anxiety? I can’t find another job, I can’t afford to just quit, so I’m stuck, and I don’t know how much more of this I can take without... — read more
Was there a layoff?
I didn’t see anything here in CA, but all the posts last week were so certain of mass layoffs. I would have expected to see some posts sharing their severance details
Flexible schedule
Any word if flexible schedules will be eliminated 2026? It’s one of the biggest incentives the company currently offers.
ACA enrollment down 191,000 in GA
From 1.5 million to 1.3 million. Not terrible, until you read further that 2/3 of that 1.3 million were automatically enrolled from 2025. Which means they likely haven’t paid the premium yet. Thus, that 1.3 number is expected to drop once the bill... — read more
Sounds like BH teams are at risk ?
With the "ghost" BH team in AZ and lawsuits alone with major risk in BH across the board are we losing contracts and RIFs planned? We are told at least 2x a week how BH is failing ..
Centene Layoffs 2026
If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be Centene layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
“Special Message”
Did everyone get a “special message” invite on Friday 12/29 in Ambetter?? Kind of freaking out!
Sounds like Pending Layoff
My manager just kinda informed us in a soft way that the budget is tight and layoffs are probably pending. She says that I am a corporate employee but I am working under a states plan. When layoffs happen, do corporate employees get cut too or that... — read more
Communications
Do we have a communications team? Do they help the senior leaders with their messaging? Sure seems like the answer is no. Employee messaging is terrible - inconsistent, inauthentic, and lacks humanity. What’s happening here?
Wishing everyone the best!
Looks like we might be heading into a difficult week or weeks.
Attention
Layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026 Polish up those resumes lots of new opportunities out there. One thing they can’t do is take away your talent so there loose and another’s win. List of states impacted Georgia... — read more
Will they at least wait until after the holidays to RIF?
Most of probably sense more layoffs coming. Surely they won’t move forward until January though. That would be heartless and the savings would be a rounding error. There are a lot of Sarah haters on here. I’m not one of them, but getting a RIF for... — read more
Settlement check
Received settlement check in the mail for the Huffman et al vs centene lawsuit...anyone else
The Ambetter Team is either blissfully ignorant or just burying their heads in the sand
No one at the rank and file level even seems to be aware of the cliff approaching in January. They just keep scurrying around like rats while the ship sinks. Amazing dissonance going on. 😂
Layoffs and yet another $$$ tech VP
I'm trying to make sense of the mixed messages and bringing in another industry CIO like Paula Krantz in our current climate. The leadership of this company seems to burns money on shiny new hires but layoffs and hardly cost living raises are the... — read more
Is our CEO lost?
I feel like the leadership in this company is so confused about how to run a good healthcare company and it starts from the top. Sarah London is not a good leader and she needs to go.
