There aren't enough people to do the work right now. If they cut any more there won't be enough of us left to get everything done. This is a simple fact. I would be happy to be laid off with severance. I'm overworked so that would allow me to take a... — read more
Run away as fast as you can

I'm just tired of it
Basically, I don't want to leave this company, but I want to leave the bad manager. This is a man who is tactless and lacks some basic communication skills. He is always ready to criticize, but the problem is that he doesn't know my job at all. How... — read more
Anyone work as a data analyst?
I've had a few interviews in different departments for the role of a data analyst. Just wanted to get some ideas of what it's like to work as a DA at Centene.
They are committed to making us believe our skills are less valuable?
After I took a role at Centene I found out I had replaced two people and one of them had a title (+ salary) higher than mine even though they had significantly less experience. When I brought up that >I was doing the job of multiple people and had... — read more
Management shouldn't lie to us
I was promised a promotion two years ago and I'm still waiting for it to become a reality. Whenever I ask about it, my manager has some story on why it can't happen then and there but it will soon. I'm getting tired of it. Why promise me something... — read more
We should be safe
Judging by posts here, there'll be plenty of those who chose not to vaccinate who'll be shown the door. That means that the rest of us should be safe for the foreseeable future, even if the quarterly results are not that good. The only way I can see... — read more

Anyone laid off from HN?
February is here! Let the fun begin.
Interesting to see how layoffs are done this month and how it will coincide with the earnings report due out on February 8th.
IL Meridian’s President and COO left the company
My team here in IL was notified this morning. Their last day was Friday 1/28
Unvaccinated Layoff?
Anyone know how many people are being let go due to being unvaccinated? And, is it for sure ALL unvaccinated? I imagine there are people at all levels of Centene that don't want to get vaccinated. I think today is the day for the layoff.
Severance Payback
For those that were laid off and accepted the severance package and then were rehired by Centene. Do they make you pay back the severance or can you keep it?
Centene drew takeover interest from Cigna in recent months
As per bloomberg, Cigna is reportedly interested in taking over centene. What do you guys think? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-26/centene-said-to-have-drawn-interest-from-cigna-in-recent-months
A lot of Centene VP’s are jumping ship.

Stop the bleeding
People are dropping like flies. Work is piling up as a result of it. We are all being asked to do more, more, more… when is this going to stop? Everywhere I look people are leaving. What is leadership’s plan to stop the attrition? This is a serious... — read more
Centene is a Garbage company to work for.
I just quit my job with Centene. Last day was Jan 4th. We were told all year long that dec 24th, 27th, 31st, and jan 3 would be paid holidays. On Dec 21st we get an email how those are now mandatory work days, but we will still get the vacation pay... — read more
We need more people
I think it's safe to say at this point that the only area that currently isn’t understaffed is management. Actually, I think that's where the real fat is. We could get rid of a third or even half of them and hire people who do the actual work. It... — read more
Is there anyone happy in this company?
I'm asking seriously. None of my colleagues even bothers to have a fake smile anymore. The atmosphere is really awful and it seems to me that there is no one left who is happy in this company and wants to stay here for a long time. People leave and... — read more

Flexible work solutions
Just curious. For those of you that came in after September 2021, were you giving remote work option right off? Or did they tell give you stipulations? I’m trying to understand how people coming in after me are able to work remote. I have been here... — read more
Layoffs & bonus
Why does everyone predict layoffs? Financials look good, what am I missing? Are we getting a bonus this year? I haven’t seen anything confirming this. If so, is it 100% funded?
No one should think that their job is safe
Some say that the next workforce reduction will not be that big since there are many who will be cut because they refused to take a jab. Do people really think so? I think that the unvaccinated will not "save" the job of the vaccinated in this... — read more
Layoff before bonus
Just checking if the information is correct that the person will still get the bonus, even if he got laid off a little before he was supposed to get the bonus? It would be really horrible to get laid off a few days before the bonus and therefore... — read more
Don't make the same mistake I did
Don't wait to be laid off or worse, fired, before starting your job search. I ended up being an unemployed applicant, and many companies I applied with took that as a green light to low-ball me. You lose a good part of your ability to negotiate when... — read more
Management and human resources have no idea what they are doing
No wonder this company is sinking.
Mass Layoffs in February 2022???
Just like last February I expect this February 2022 to be worse in terms of layoffs. No, I don't have any background knowledge of this, but my gut tells me it's happening and it will be more widescale then last year. What does everyone else feel... — read more
Where is this company going?
This company has never looked more disorganized. I think Centene has lost its direction. I can't even imagine where this company will be in a few years. Does leadership have any long term goals for Centene or does it all come down to short term... — read more
There is no such retention bonus that could keep people here
The retention bonus is a good attempt, however, I don’t think it will stop employees from leaving. Why? Because the problem here is not just that people think they are not paid enough, but a whole bunch of other issues as well. I know people who... — read more

Is there any talk of delaying return to office due to omicron?
Just curious if anyone here is in the know about whether or not return to office could be delayed due to omicron. I’m nervous about it.
Employee goals and Centene goals are increasingly divergent?
It would take an entire cultural upheaval - the kind that isn’t likely, and if it does take years - years of my life I’m not willing to waste. The org is too big. Too many acquisitions in too short of time. And the org goal just doesn’t work for me... — read more
Where’s the vision or strategy?
Has anyone seen a vision, roadmap or strategy lately? Where is Centene going? How do they plan to get there? I used to believe in our purpose and felt proud to be part of this team. Now I feel like we are floundering without plans. My team will... — read more
Still fighting
I was laid off from Centene in February this year. I didn’t accept the severance offered because like so many others, I felt my layoff was wrongful and I was offered the same thing as someone who had only worked 3 years to my 5. Shortly after the ... — read more
