Good leaders would never let this happen

Good leaders would be devastated if they knew how many of us are dreaming about walking out with a package. They would step in and try to fix things. Centene "leadership" doesn't give a damn.

More layoffs at the start of next month?

There have been rumors going around about more layoffs coming in the first two weeks of September. Anything new on that front? September is around the corner, and I haven’t heard much for the past few days. Anyone have any new info? Were any of the... — read more 

Sudden position change.

Everything was good then I got a sudden position change to another team about three days ago… message sent through teams. Very vague. Any idea of what’s to come?

Chance of layoff for new hire?

If I accept an Analyst job with this place, what is the chance of being laid off on day 1 with the Medicaid cuts and other BS going on? Lol

Got ESPP in 70s

Not able to sell - how long before stock recovers to 50+ so I can cut my losses? Am hoping in another 1-2 quarters it will double from 26 to 52 - wishful thinking??

State

Does anyone know what states have already been affected and of plans for any other states?

Activist investor interest?

With the stock beaten down as much as it is, do you think there is the possibility that it will attract activist investor interest to demand change? It happened in 2021 so it seems possible it could happen again. One of the biggest differences is... — read more 

RIF happening today - Thursday - 7/31/2025

Just received noticed that Centene (CenTeam?) is reacating to the $253 million dollar loss with layoffs. Just received my RIF with 12 weeks of severance and last day is 8/22/2025. Here we go folks - here we go!

Noticed

Remote work and the lack of being in an office/interaction make it easy to get hyper-focused on work and not notice that your team members are slowly disappearing. I noticed today that several members of my team over the last couple of weeks have... — read more 

How low will it go?

The decreasing stock price is very concerning…is it time to sell? How long before it rebounds, if ever?

CEO and CFO replacement

Would be a great sign to investor, they lost credibility, billions of wealth evaporated. They got rid of the best operators with their SG&A cuts, they cut the muscle too. They need to fire them ASAP, the earnings call was full of riddle and... — read more 

London Calling Part 2

No mention of layoffs, right-sizing, RIFS, or reorganizing - but I still feel like they are coming on the DL.

The Centene Umbrella

So I know we all come from different health plans under Centene, has anyone been told anything regarding individual health plans that may be affected this week? Obviously we all know something is brewing in the background. I am just looking for some... — read more 

London Calling

What is London Calling? A town hall or an email, and does anyone have any information/insight on this?

Follow Up Email from CEO

I don't even know what to say anymore. I wasn't expecting a follow-up email and expecting even less that they would have any clear message to give us as to whether the axe will begin to fall and when - just a "wait until the meeting so we can tell... — read more 

Securities Fraud

If you weren't worries before - you might should start now. Just saying that its just not looking good at all 2 days ago: Centene faces a securities fraud lawsuit alleging misleading investors with inflated enrollment and morbidity claims, causing... — read more

ESPP - Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Has there been any discussion regarding the stock purchase plan? Employees that have been participating have lost a lot of money. Are they still encouraging participation in any way? There are already multiple class action lawsuits that have been... — read more 

So we are basically sc--wed?

Centene’s next quarterly earnings call is Friday 7/25/25. Considering that there has not been a peep made internally about the potential 1.8 billion dollar hit to earnings outside of the initial press release, they’re going to have to do something... — read more 

Wouldn’t recommend

The culture is toxic, politics run deep, and everything feels disorganized thanks to nonstop reorgs. Management can be petty, and the leadership shift has tanked bonuses and left raises trailing behind inflation. There are no positives I can think of... — read more 

Centene requesting a 20% increase in GA for 2026??

If that’s true, our analysts are as bad as political pollsters. That means they were off by a mile for 2025. And that’s without knowing whether or not the subsidies will be extended (they won’t). Ambetter enrollment is going to plummet, only leaving... — read more 

The layoffs have started

I was just informed, unexpectedly, that four members of my team will be laid off next week as part of company-wide reductions. While my line of business isn’t directly tied to Ambetter Marketplace, it’s clear that the broader organizational cuts are... — read more
