We finally had the EBOS Townhall, postponed repeatedly after the VSP and RIFs started. Depressingly cringe, like trying to give a team halftime pep talk when 30% of the team left, 30% injured and the rest left to make up a 100 point scoring deficit. Carrie Milby looked bloated, stressed and overwhelmed while trying to deliver her "we got this" pep talk. For those left, Mission Simplify means doing more with less. God help us all.

@a4 Quitting does not erase all of that. It’s only defeat if you frame it that way. There are other companies with strong missions you can support, it’s definitely not Centene or nothing. No job is worth feeling this bad or getting this angry. If it’s no longer serving you, find one that does. Life is too short to stay miserable in a room with an unlocked door.
@aj Not sure this was meant to be mean. Whether you admit it, we get visual cues to assess situations and speakers. In this case, I the messengers did not convey confidence and trust. Just saying.
@a6 I agree - physical appearances should not be mentioned.. Be kind.
Valid concerns about communication and direction, sure. But commenting on someone’s physical appearance is unnecessary and unprofessional. If we want leadership to act like leaders, we should probably model the same standard.
@a2 "So quit" the company maybe you've been working at for over 10 years
"So quit" the late nights you spent - maybe even working on your day off or weekend to get a project done

Working with people like @a2, we ask ourselves ; maybe we should...
So quit. “God help us all.” Good gravy, such drama.
