#layoffs

Anyone from any call center being laid off? I saw so many threads saying we “should be worried and no ones safe” yet everyone i know from the call center is still here and not laid off

After some reorg and layoff rounds, we have changed many managers into technical lead role at DPD even though they know nothing on technical. Is that why VSO/Optimus/X400/Santorini/Hydra fail? Are we having layoff again in September or October?

My understanding is that today is the second of three days of layoffs. Did you get an ominous meeting today? What department was affected?
Also my condolences in advance. This is terrible.

Integral ad science did a round of layoffs yesterday. The amount of employees laid off is unknown at this time.
From the new ceo Lidiane jones “ Realigning the company behind these objectives means that we have to make hard decisions about teams’ structures, reporting lines, responsibilities and roles across the company. This means certain roles have been eliminated and we will be saying goodbye to a number of our colleagues.

In some regions, including the U.S., we will be notifying impacted employees today and are aiming to have individual conversations with impacted employees regarding transition support and next steps. In Europe, we are initiating formal consultation, review and/or individual discussion processes as required by local laws. Exact timing and processes may differ in certain countries based on local requirements. ”

Does anyone know if anymore vertex / OIC1’s are getting laid off this week ? or was it just yesterday for them? I know of some vertexer’s who got laid off but wasn’t sure if they are doing more from this department

Did anyone in the Florida market - quality department get affected ? (Sunshine) we are all anxiously waiting. We have our VP and senior quality manager jumping to our weekly teams meeting tomorrow to share some information. We don’t know if it has to do with restructuring etc. Does anyone know if HEDIS teams will be automated in the future by AI?

Sine the move is to pooled resources, the total number can be reduced, and AEs doing initial discovery and getting trained up.

SEs get pummeled again an again

Thought or heard something?

Just wondering if they’ve all been let go yet. There was one group (investment services) that was still hanging in there as work from home but I was wondering if they still are or if they got let go?

Layoffs today, best of luck everyone!

I work for a team that manages OIM data. I reported seeing account deactivations being enqueued before the last round of layoffs and got some denial pushback from people here. Well I just wanted to say, again, I’m seeing account deactivations being enqueued in our system. I can’t share who since I’m not going to make that query in my name (I just maintain the health of the databases). But the tables are populating.

Hope everyone will be ok. I lost some friends in the last big round.

Will there be more layoffs if revenues continue declining? I worry EBIDTA will decline too since current EBIDTA gains were a result of all the layoffs last year. There aren’t any leaders left to layoff with all the businesses in one.

So finally the company got the ba--s to be honest and broke the news Wilmington office IS closing June 2027. But the kicker is they are saying everyone “left” would be working remotely. I just don’t see that being true after all they just FIRED tons of people for working remote and some just because of downsizing. I feel in 10 months we will all be told to go home and leave the equipment right here as in HUGE LAY OFF. This su-ks!!!!!

The latest earnings call and filings are worrying. I read somewhere that $1m per day is going towards interest payments? Can we expect even more layoffs?

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, so I wasn’t surprised.

And strangely enough, I’m not sad. I’m not angry. I really don’t feel any type of way about it. I think that’s because I’ve seen the writing on the wall for a long time.

I’ve been with Centene for 8 years, and one thing I’ve learned is not to get too comfortable here.

For those who don’t know the history, Centene completed its acquisition of WellCare in January 2020. In 2021, Centene announced a restructuring that eliminated approximately 3,000 employees and 1,500 open positions. Then in 2023, another approximately 2,000 employees were laid off. And now here we are in 2026 going through another major restructuring.

At some point, you have to recognize the pattern.

And I want people who were impacted to understand something: this says more about the company than it does about you or your ability to do your job.

My experience with the culture at Centene has not been a positive one. There is a lot of “buddy-buddy” behavior, favoritism and bias. Sometimes the environment honestly gives mean girl/mean boy energy. The company talks about having an open-door policy, but from my experience, that door doesn't always feel very open. You can raise concerns, provide documentation and go through the appropriate channels and still walk away feeling like absolutely nothing was addressed.

I've also watched employees be expected to take on responsibilities outside of what they were originally hired to do, sometimes without the title or compensation that should come with that additional responsibility.

And I’ll say this carefully because I don't throw accusations of racism around lightly: there were situations I personally witnessed or experienced where the difference in how certain groups of employees were treated made me question whether race or other biases played a role. That's my experience and my observation.

I worked as a Business Analyst within the Florida health plan organization, and the culture within my area simply was not what Centene publicly says its culture is supposed to represent.

What I also struggle to understand about these reductions is how the company determines where the cuts are made. If membership and health-plan performance are major drivers, I would expect performance at the health-plan level to be a significant part of those decisions. Instead, employees are left trying to understand why certain positions and departments are eliminated while others remain.

And yes, companies are moving toward AI, automation and doing more with fewer people. That's reality. But companies still have a responsibility to remember that the numbers on an organizational chart represent actual people.

Even the way my notification was handled left a bad taste in my mouth. I was told I could take the remainder of the day off. Afterward, a meeting was held where my situation was discussed with others. I found that extremely tacky and unnecessary. If I wanted coworkers to know that I had been laid off, I should have been allowed to tell them myself.

But at the end of the day, it is what it is.

For everyone who was impacted: don't automatically look at this as the worst thing that could happen to you. Sometimes something that feels like a door closing is really pushing you toward something better. There are companies out here that will value your experience, compensate you fairly and treat you like a human being instead of a headcount.

And for those who survived this round: please don't get comfortable.

Eight years taught me that longevity does not equal security. Your performance does not guarantee security. Your knowledge does not guarantee security. Being loyal to a company does not mean the company will be loyal to you.

Do your job. Learn everything you can. Build your résumé. Keep your LinkedIn updated. Build relationships outside of Centene. Keep your certifications current. And always have a Plan B.

I don't know what the future holds for Centene. Maybe things will improve. I hope they do for the employees who remain.

But Centene also has to understand that repeated restructuring and employee experiences eventually become part of a company's reputation. When people start saying, “Don't apply there because you'll eventually get laid off” or “Don't work there because of the culture,” that's something leadership should pay attention to.

To everybody affected by this round: keep your head up.

This may not be the ending.

It may be your exit.

Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin has proposed disbanding the $57 million Catalyst Fund. This action is intended to avert mid-year layoffs for police and fire departments. The fund was established to stimulate development in underserved neighborhoods but never attracted outside investment. Conyears-Ervin believes reallocating these funds is a necessary step to address the city's current financial deficit. She argues that protecting essential city services is a greater priority than maintaining the underperforming fund.

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

Wonderful news about RD being fired in Haynesville area. Such a cocky little guy. Was disliked by many but was the Ops Manager best buddy. So..., no one would cross him. Everything eventually comes out in the wash though. (Karma)
