Just send the email dang it! This is mental torture.
People Leader E-mail
People leader just got an e-mail saying notifications will come out in waves throughout the day
Today’s the day!!
No emails as of yet, its 7:17 an EST here. As expected.
CANT SLEEP ~ SO EXCITED!
It feels like the first day of school! I can’t wait to login and see that email!
I've been at Centene a year and a half
I know VSP will be followed by layoffs, and I'm guessing it's going to happen within weeks. I'm wondering if it's true that the majority of those laid off in past rounds are people who've been with the company for years, or even decades?
Any chance they make even more delays?
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the rug from under us once again when we least expect it, considering how badly this whole thing has been handled so far.
Christmas in July

Super Excited!
Gonna check my email first thing! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I mean how many more times are we ever going to get a VSP offer if you think about it? Take your $ you so much deserve and file unemployment (and yes I am eligible I... — read more
Anyones PL make them submit a progress checkpoint in workday?
Friday my PL requested that we "acknowledge" their comments about our progress checkpoint. She only had 4 out of the 11 people in my team do it which makes me think we are the ones who applied to the VSP. She said we need to acknowledge ASAP in order... — read more
This is a new feeling
I didn't know you could feel both petrified and relieved at the same time. That's me today. I'm so scared of what'll happen tomorrow, but at the same time, I'm feeling relieved that it'll finally be over, and not a day too soon. A thoroughly strange... — read more
Although I feel we will all be refreshing our emails tomorrow, I hope the first person who gets it posts it here ASAP lol. Not seeing myself being able to focus tomorrow on anything!
Long Weekend
This weekend has been a roller coaster of emotions. One minute I feel confident that I made the right decision by signing the VSP, and the next I'm asking myself, "What have I done?" Twenty years with one company... and this is how it ends. It's a... — read more

Some Perspective on Executive Greed
While employees wait to find out if they’ll have a job when the VSP determinations settle, and the layoffs ensue, here’s what Centene’s top leadership has accumulated in company stock. Executive Approx. Stock Value 2025 Compensation Sarah London... — read more
Knowing me
I'll probably be checking my email at midnight on Sunday lolololol
Anxious?
Had such a hard time working Friday thinking about what will happen. It's Saturday and the only thing I can think of is what's going to happen on Monday. Anyone else feeling anxious?
Last Weekend
This is the last weekend until 7/27 when everyone who accepted the VSP finds out their last day. Starting Monday, it's going to be a reckoning for managers and PLs.when they find out how much of the work force is decreasing. I'm getting on that... — read more
Question about prior reorgs
Does anyone have any insight on how they have handled previous reorgs? Do they assign you to a new role? Are you given options? Do you have to reapply? Is it simply this is your new position starting this date or you can leave?
Age discrimination lawsuit
On top of everything else. What an absolute pile of junk this company is. I actually believe the mile long load of BS I was fed for years. Was this filed under “doing what’s right” or “doing what’s easy?”... — read more
I'm not staying
If, after all this, Monday comes and I find out I got refused, I think I'm just going to up and quit. I can't handle the mind games this place has been playing with us for months. I guess that could've been their goal, and I hate to say it, but it... — read more
Which email address
Will we get the email from VSP in our personal or company email address? I keep checking back and forth. They said we will be notified on or around 7/27 so I am hoping to get something today. Tired of these waiting games.
Layoff Meetings
Does anyone know the meeting title that is used for a layoff meeting? Also, who typically sends these out? Is it from HR or your people leader?
Middle Management is full of 2 years college graduates: RN's and CNA's
Regarding the layoffs at Centene Corp., the real problem is management, not the boots-on-the-ground employees. There are too many layers of unnecessary management pulling in great salaries. Middle management is mediocre and exclusively focused on... — read more
The math doesn't work
We're down 30 percent headcount and still expected to deliver the same output. With the VSP and probable subsequent involuntary layoffs, who knows how bad it'll get for those of us left behind. Can someone please tell leadership that people aren't... — read more
VSP
Finally stretch! I wish they would let us know already. This wait until Monday is giving me major anxiety vibes. If on the slim chance anyone gets their notification Friday, please let us all know please!
Town Hall
What is up with so many “Town Halls”
Technological Monitoring
Occasionally both my laptop and external monitor blink black at very precise intervals. It's happened probably 2-3x/yr since we went WFH about 2020. Now it's becoming more frequent. It almost seems like a screen shot is taken exactly every 10 min... — read more
Support
What can those of us do that are feeling like we are being retaliated against for taking the VSP route. I do care about my job and I want to leave on good terms.
Too many vague rumors
We have so many rumors and so few details. It'd be great if we started getting proper information instead of just little scraps.
Amazed
I am just amazed at how people leaders and the uppers have applied for the VSP. Like what do they know that we don't?
VSP approval
Was told by HR/VSP line that no one has been sent an approved VSP package yet. How did some of you know you were approved when HR is saying no approved emails have been sent out?
Couldn't wait on them.
I submitted for the VSP. As things kept getting pushed back I started looking for work. New job wants me to start August 3rd. Still no word from Centene. Submitted my resignation yesterday. No severance but I am so ready to move forward. Best of luck... — read more
This has turned into such a mess
There were so, so, so many better ways do do this. Ways that wouldn't have half of us on Xanax just to get through this with our mental health intact. Who decided to do it this way should be fired immediately.
PLEASE PRIORITIZE
Anyone else received a meeting invite from Brenda Bermudez at 3PM EST? No context at all.
Surprise! Your Leadership may be taking VSP!
I think the biggest surprise will be how many of the PL's everyone has been talking about on here are taking this themselves. I have gotten wind of names of people that have been approved and lots of VP's and Directors that have been around awhile... — read more
