Is always in November, a week or two before thanksgiving. It’ll happen between now and then.

Anyone In sunshine being laidoff or heard anything ?

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 by then. The involuntary layoffs have already taken place on my team. I feel guilty that I dont feel more relieved than I thought I would. The environment has changed and it is not the same as it use to be. I am not optimistic at all about Centene's future. Not to mention that we will now be more overloaded with work than ever before for those left here. I naturally want to apply out but feel obligated to stay because that couldve been someone else's job. Anyone else relate?

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 faces displacement is entirely indefensible. Centene CEO with her 20 million a year is really diabolical.

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.
Random meetings are being sent out. It is happening right now as we speak.

U of P today announced possible reorg and layoffs soon. It has started by offering early leave package opportunities for some employees but says they are not clear that they will approve their applications. If not enough volunteers to leave they will then need to layoff. Their HR webpage was impacted due to employees trying to research benefit packages ---- so would seem many employees must have received the offer.

Hearing rumblings that while there maybe the usual EISP this year it may not be like some say.Its sounding more and more like it’s not going to be across the board for anyone everyone to take.Its sounding more like a limited one for associates.One reason seems to be some departments groups are so small already!!Another reason is they just have little interest in giving extra money away when they know most are on the short list already in years left.Some of it is also sounding like is union wise for good reason want to the company to declare too many surplus groups because there is not a lot of faith they will get as many takers with gatt rates and medical cost up leaving the door for forced adjustment and layoffs.

Has anyone from ambetter been lay offed today?

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.

Or will this drag out throughout the week?

Does the fact that you could go all out, work a ton, crush all your goals and then some, and still be laid off in the spring motivate you to work harder?

July lay off with last day 8/14
IT rebadge 8/31?
What else? AVP layoffs? Band 6 layoffs? Resignations from SVPs that didn’t get Consumer CEO role?

Comment all credible information below

I heard MT Interfaces was impacted.
No idea where else in the company yet.

If youre a customer service advocate or work the PCC line check in! Weve had no meetings, everyones still here on my team no updates no nothing but i see everyone else dropping like flies! Nearly everyone on my team was vsp eligible but me and one other person, but another supervisor told her team that enough people took the vsp that they didnt need to lay people off

Are we thinking a big announcement or just quiet cuts? My org has hired quite a few in the last quarter, so confused what’s going on here. Not convinced they’ll be doing any major LRs as of now.

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 level of stress the employees have had to endure seems unnecessary and borderline cruel. So much for a CEO that preaches transparency and doing the right thing.
