We spend a lot of time being reminded what integrity looks like. It would be nice if leadership and government relationships inspired the same confidence. The public record shows a CEO meeting the Illinois governor, state help on the merger, and... — read more 

Is there any relief coming, or is this just the new normal?

I can't find anything in the employee handbook about PTO payout rules...... which makes me think Centene's gonna let it defer to state payout rules. If they can weasel out of paying employees their dues they prob will. I can only assume: PTO... — read more 

Having not heard any other updates regarding upcoming layoffs--whether they are even happening or not is causing a tremendous amount of anxiety. It is impacting everything for me. I know this may sound cliche, but it feels very much unfair to not... — read more 

Any layoffs today?

I work for fidelis care and am now afraid I'll be out of a job. No one has said anything. I am in authorizations.

Any word on ambetter case management department layoffs? Also if anybody took the VSP for this department what was the date you were given?

Everyone I know always gets “Meets Expectations “ on their reviews. There are only 3 options, Does not meet, meets, and the top one. I don’t know anyone that gets the top one either. Thoughts?

Very organic timing, I'm sure. Hmm, weird, almost like someone in Centene HR is here seeing reporters asking for info... Just an observation.

I'm one of those who didn't get an offer, but I'm curious. If somebody is laid off before their VSP date, how much do they stand to lose?

Hi everyone, I am wondering who is really on the chopping block for this? I know low performers, but what about those that started less than a year ago? Just wondering because Centene usually is known for laying off low performers and those who are... — read more 

Please share any Labor employment attorneys that are out there. I want the best and i do not care how long the process might take to settle everything in court. Please help!

A few people took VSP and others did not. But so many rumors about the future of Fideliscare. The ways things are looking it’ doesn’t look good

Worked here some time ago, the management was terrible. Their so called 1, 2, and 3rd level leaders were extremely terrible human beings. They treated people poorly and there was no recourse for the staff. The higher level management just believed... — read more

Not think about layoffs, reorgs, VSPs, etc.? Good times.

I subscribe to Beckers. This article is interesting.... https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/centenes-buyouts-could-have-a-315m-price-tag-for-the-rest-of-the-year/

If anyone asks what I dislike about my role here, it’s definitely the massive caseload. Every time it comes up, management just says it's because of our "contract obligations." Honestly, I don't get why they can't just hire more people to offset the... — read more

I was terrified when I got cut. Turned out to be the best career move I never planned. I found a place with actual work-life balance, better pay, and zero dread. They exist.

If you work for Washington and were approved for VSP what is your departure date approved?

I know some of you were already probably on the edge of retirement so this is not for you. My questions are for those who cannot yet retire. I’m genuinely curious as these are the things that stopped me from even opening the VSP email. Do you... — read more 

Now that the VSP program has finalized we know the company will be moving forward with involuntary layoffs. Does Centene still have to submit a WARN notice? I did some research and the VSP does not fall under a WARN notice so if Centene decides to... — read more 

Ive heard from some people who heard from the higher ups that the call center reps are safe even with those who did or didnt take the vsp??? Is that true?! If so why would they be safe from restructuring and not other departments?

I wonder how long we will have to wait for the VSP to be paid out after 9/4/26. They will require verification of our equipment return first, and it will only be paid out on a regular pay date. It could possibly be a month or more before they pay any... — read more 

Get your anxiety meds ready for 25 loooooooong days 😭

I work on the Medicaid side of Texas . Anyone know how bad the plan will get hit ?

I've not seen anyone mention Kansas. Anyone have any ideas on upcoming changes or RIF's? From the PL's, everything is fine, nothing is wrong and everything is as normal! Nothing to see here!

USE ALL OF YOUR PTO AND SICK TIME WHILE YOU CAN! Unfortunately, I live in a "use it or lose it" state. I have 120 hours of sick time and 66 hours of PTO that I need to use within the next two weeks. To make matters worse, my PL said we're not... — read more 

Any word if there will be a 2nd round sent out for voluntary leave? I am SO regretting not accepting that offer!

Curious to see what restructuring has occurred. Please share and let us know market.

Can someone please tell me if we didn't receive VSP offer, what does it mean? Wasn't targets met? Didn't 1200 employees already leave Centene. I didn't receive 08/12 meeting invite. What does that mean for the SC team?

This waiting for Godot sh-t is for the birds!
