So what's all this I hear about Fidelis Care being phased out/lost/whatever it's called? I used to live in NY and was a Fidelis team member from 2016-2022, so before and after the Centene acquisition. Is the entire health plan going? Just certain... — read more

Rules for me but not for thee…
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
Every day feels heavier than the last
Is there any relief coming, or is this just the new normal?
Is accrued PTO paid out if they lay you off?
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

Surprised they are still in business at alk
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

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
Call center reps
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?
