Well, I guess it was finally my turn. On August 10th, I received a Teams invite for a “prioritized meeting.” I already knew what it was before I joined. I’ve been following these posts and paying attention to what has been happening within Centene... — read more
Fidelity special tax notice
Anyone receive a Fidelity special tax notice in the mail stating that your job changed last month? Did Centene notify fidelity before telling us that we are getting laid off? The letter came with a packet labeled SPD
Eerie
This is all really eerie and so sad. Rest easy and take it one day at a time. Prayers for everyone. 🙏
How do you know a person has been RIF'd?
I watched a Senior Director that was supposed to work all week go from green this morning to the gray x. Their schedule is blocked off indefinitely (I was going to schedule a meeting). What are the tells?
Any PL's RIF'd?
Any PL's get let go today? I noticed a few in my dept were offline today. My PL logged off aroud 9am and never got back on. I hope not, because I really enjoy working under them. If a PL was let go, it wouldn't be immediate, would it?
RIF'd employees 8/20/26 Monday
What departments had some RIFs today? And how many? If anyone happens to know because no one is really being transparent in all this. Sad for the ones who were told today but happy for them that they get to move on and have some closure.
LOA
Just curious. I had went on a loa for maternity leave the first week of June. I come back 2 weeks ago and come to find out about the layoffs and vsp. NOBODY told me or emailed me. Nothing. I find out about it through someone on my team when I got... — read more
What is going on in NJ?!
The NJ market is such a mess. The lack of effective leadership is evident, and there is very little transparency. The culture can be incredibly cliquey, and some teams are unnecessarily difficult to work with. There seems to be very little... — read more
Any Word About Meridian Illinois?
Seems too quiet
Anyone know if sunshine health is being affected
Anyone In sunshine being laidoff or heard anything ?
Anyone else feel this way?
I didn't take the VSP because I didn't have any other income or enough in my savings to last and that vsp money could only last so long. I didn't think I'd find a job by September as we all presumed initially everyone who took the vsp would be gone... — read more
VSP lies Big Bait and Switch
Centene corp pulled a bait and swith with those that applied and VSP accepted. Majority of separation dates are set for next year 2027. When applying separation date was set on or around September 1st. Now that we applied we cannot cancel and face... — read more
Terminated, going to be homeless
It is deeply hypocritical for Centene to champion initiatives against homelessness while terminating thousands of employees and putting them at risk of losing their homes. Executive compensation of twenty million dollars a year while the workforce... — read more

Thanks current leadership! Nice job!
Heard about my friend getting RIF'd today from random meeting
Their last day is 9/4. Got a random meeting today on their calendar with higher ups and HR. For their safety and making sure that they are not retaliated against, I will reveal nothing about them. I am sad to see them go. They didn't deserve it... — read more
Is All Kentucky Market safe?
Seems like nothing affected Kentucky for the most part. Is it safe to assume that Kentucky has been spared from the worst?
I was RIF'd, today, working through 9/4.
Will be receiving documentation regarding severance info, job assistance, end of benefits information in the mail in about 2 days. Normal procedure, nothing new here.
Pennsylvania H&W
Anyone from PA Health & Wellness impacted by RIF? PL said all 35 from PAHW who requested were approved for VSP with varying end dates. No mention of any RIFs yet.
Corporate Marketing or Communications impacted?
Any idea if today's RIF has impacted just LOBs or corporate departments as well? Especially, any layoffs in marketing?
CSA CA MEDI-CAL
My sup posted that as of right now from our team no one is being let go- she can’t comment on the future but for now we’re safe I know it’s such a hard day for everyone. Thinking and wishing all of you better days and better opportunities 🧡
AMBETTER RIF
Has anyone from ambetter been lay offed today?
BTS Team
We were just informed in an team all hands meeting that two of our team is being let go. They were notified earlier this morning, and will be around for a few more weeks.
Is it just today?
Or will this drag out throughout the week?
Stop being so vague!!
Please! We are all worried and stressed share what you know! What states? What departments? Any severance? What date are you leaving? You are already here typing so help us all out! Thank you!!

How Centene's Leadership Destroyed Morale
In reading all of the forum posts on Centene lay-offs, the one common denominator is how the lack of information, misinformation and blatant lies has systematically destroyed the morale of almost every employee who has/or currently worked there! The... — read more
New York Fidelis
Anyone from NY Fidelis hear anything today?
Bye Bye Centene!
Welp! Got my notification this morning. To say I’m surprised would be a lie. I was let go due to a personal vendetta but hey life goes on. I’m actually relieved. Centene is a sinking ship that I’m happy to be off of lol
Can somebody explain this to me?
They offered VSP. Then they turned down a fifth of people who said yes. Now they're laying folks off involuntarily. Why? Why didn't they just approve everybody who said yes?
RIF employees out in September. Meanwhile VSPers can’t seem to get out??
What a weird set of circumstances. I want to leave. They pushed my VSP to 11/27. People want to stay and nope.
The sad part is that there's no 'over' after today
In the past, layoffs were final. They took a day or two to let everybody know and after that we could refocus on our work. Now, even after this round is done, we know more will be coming. In a month, two, or six, but we all know it's coming. There's... — read more
KY UM
I am KY UM Medicaid any word. We have continued to asked and been told that there is no reason to worry we are busy. Also that vsp were not approved until September of next year. Which I did not believe.
Any Authorization Specialist get rif’d?
If so please share your State/Plan
For those who have been RIF’d today — any severance?
I’m so sorry that we are all going through such an anxious time right now. I wasn’t eligible for the VSP and am almost certain to be RIF’d — so please know I understand the fear and anxiety. I hope everyone impacted ends up better than they were... — read more
Managers are aware!
Managers are aware of what’s happening but they pretend they don’t. For certain leadership got to choose who stays and who goes. It doesn’t seem to amaze me coming from this toxic environment. I knew I was going to get this call today and was on top... — read more
Can people whose VSPs were approved be laid off?
I'm not one of them, I'm just curious, since some got such distant final dates.
