I waited a while to post this. After seeing people posting about the VSP and Layoffs coming soon. First off, the layoffs started in Feb 2026. I know because I was one of the initial 137 Pluss laid off. I was with Centene for 7 years and was even noticed in a town hall for meeting Expectations that year and 3 months at a 100%. I was one of only three. (You are never Safe). In My Team huddle, our supervisor stated that layoffs were coming as they said that. get a meeting request for the next day with the team manager. In short, my job was impacted? and my last day was the end of the next pay cycle. Still took a month to get my severance payout. of a team of 14 people, Supervisor was let go, 1 lead was transferred the other lead was let go I the senor was let go and one other that was on leave was told when they return that would be their last day. Everyone else was sent back to WellCare. The funny part of it is the 4 people let go were all originally Centene employee's all with over 7 years of working for Centene. Who have all Bled for Centene. Your Employer does not care about loyalty, Commitment or your dedication to them. You might think you are gold plated, but you are still just a cog.
Centene has done it to themselves, anyone with a brain cell knew the current administration would not extend ACA. London and crowd could have looked at expanding into other health markets, even other insurance fields, but they want AI and H1B off shoring for quick income flow.
So that is my rant. Sorry for the rest of you out there facing this. The only good part I can sleep at night, and not as stressed out as I was (I have family that is helping out while I look for a new job)
Servance was 1 pay period for every year worked capped as 10 pay periods, any unused PTO, some training program that was a joke and Cobra (Bigger Joke)
