What will happen to the contract in OK? This seems like a contract violation if key roles are leaving due to the VSP.

Are we still at an MCO Or has this turned into fast paced thriller featuring hidden identities, strange disappearances, dark secrets and shocking plot twists reminiscent of Harlan Coben's Netflix series? The information is much better hidden and... — read more 

So i just called the VSP line and inquired about my designated separation date of March 19,2027, whether that’s going to change. The lady I spoke to says that’s unlikely to change. Thoughts?

There are now rumors stating that one of the SVP's that was covering for the outgoing CIO has either been fired or quit unexpectedly. Yay!!! More fun times ahead. Yes, I'm being sarcastic with the "fun times" comment.

Is it true Aaron Gani is out as of today?

I feel like we could argue that layoffs were gonna happen anyway- but anyone know?

I know the hot topics are the VSP and layoffs, but does anyone know what the restructuring will look like.

I wasn’t eligible for VSP. If RIF’d, what can I expect? There’s nothing in policy any longer surrounding severance. Will I even get a couple weeks work of pay for just under 2y of service? Anyone have historical knowledge?

I feel like the company is just committing psychological warfare at this point. I called HR this morning, and they said the HR department is not informed at all about involuntary layoffs. This whole process from upper "management" goes beyond... — read more 

Is anyone else dealing with tone deaf leadership? Everyone has an opinion, but trying to gaslight people into thinking this is good for all is absolute bullsh-t. Taking the VSP isn't best for everyone. Even those of us dealing with burn out who feel... — read more 

With all the VSP's approved and separation dates staggered from early September 2026 to end of 2027, we will still possibly have involuntary layoffs occur in mid August 2026 to help the company save some money. Even though we can't be transparent... — read more 

Im confused…..if they have what seems to be a lot of people taking the vsp……why would they leave us hanging until mid August?? There’s tons of people who volunteered to take the vsp…..but apparently theres still a layoff threat? Shouldnt the people... — read more 

I heard it mentioned that over-60s get extended Cobra, but I wasn't able to confirm it yet.

With nearly everybody approved for VSP, is there still a need for additional layoffs?

I'm a director who got approved with an exit date of December 2026. However, I was expecting to leave 9/4/26. We have a State audit in November so I understand why they extended my date. Any director or VP level tried or going to ask for an earlier... — read more 

Seems like they still have budgeted about 300 million or so in severance. If that’s mostly cash etc., I would imagine that we’re going to probably lose about 25% of the entire workforce.

Has anyone noticed the vast amount of posts related to how this VSP announcement has, or will affect our own mental health and the long -term costs associated with this???

Does anyone who works in claims on ABS who took the VSP get a last day beyond May of next year??

I am nervous as heck!

I’m seeing a lot of healthcare roles at Cognizant on LI. A couple had app deadlines of 7/30! Please go look and apply if you’re looking! The salaries for the couple I looked at seemed within realm. This doesn’t help me but hoping someone can find a... — read more

If the last 6 weeks were rough and stressful, hold on to your hats people the next 4 to 16 months are going to be questionable!

I’ve seen a few people say they saw dates of 8/12-8/14 posted on the VSP faq page. I wasn’t eligible for VSP. My leadership said that they’re not aware of any dates nor details. Can someone confirm the VSP faq stating this or paste the Q and A?

Please make it make sense! They basically RIFing my coworkers but they are promoting (if anything in name only) coordinators to analysts. How does that make sense???

Honest question just thinking out loud and venting! I know it’s d-mb and prob a big oh waste of time thinking this but since we the ones who took the VSP thinking our separation date would be Sept 2026 and now some of us are not getting that date is... — read more

Centene stock (NYSE: CNC) fell nearly 9% following its Q2 2026 earnings report because projected headwinds and higher attrition in its Medicaid business overshadowed an otherwise strong profit and revenue beat.

The company needs to change everyone who was approved to 9/4/2026. This is what was told to us from day 1!!

The audacity for management to tell us we are going to be training a vendor to do our jobs and in August they’ll decide if they want to keep us or not.

Centene should give all employees with an approved vsp + separation date beyond 9/4/26, a quarterly bonus for staying and still pay their full severance!

Has anybody ever reported their PL to ethics or HR? They are giving easier assignments to their friends and I am not meeting metrics. Now have a weekly meeting with them and am sure they are looking to try to fire me to not have to pay severance. ... — read more
