I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer here, but AI is no where near artificial intelligence but more of a language mirror able to apply some logic. But Centene seems overly gung ho to implement it everywhere. My team has been getting Chatgpt... — read more 

My manager says she hasn't heard anything definitive about more layoffs. The rumors are flying though. This uncertainty is worse than knowing for sure.

Ride lasted for 10 yrs. One thing is clear - you have to be your own boss, companies don't care(rightly so) about you, only the bottom line. Enhance your skills, take up part time gig(let this be a wake up call) Am back on unemployment line for 12... — read more 

Anyone know the details of this decision? That’s a long term relationship coming to an end. Is there more state plans to come?

Centene posted a $6.7 billion in losses across 2025, 1.1 billion dollan loss in Q4 for contect they made 3.3 billion profit in 2024 https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/payers/centene-reports-11b-loss-q4-elevated-medical-costs-continue-strain-finances

Physicians, social workers, counselors, nurses….how do you do it? I’m not talking about finance, IT, or those departments. Just the member interacting employees. You can perform whatever mental gymnastics you want to make you sleep better at night... — read more 

Do we think the government has “the people’s” interest in mind? On a side note, below is a partial list of politicians transactions of just Centene stock last year alone. Interesting how they all seem shocked at the actions of health insurance... — read more 

Earnings report day! Before opening bell too, I believe. Looks like the poster who thought last Friday was going to see massive layoffs was off by one week. Earnings may be okay for Q4 2025, but outlook for 2026 and beyond is gonna su-k.

Enjoyed seeing the CEOs of United Healthcare and CVS/Aetna getting scolded by different members of congress last week. How can we make sure Sarah doesn’t miss out on that fun? I need to see her explaining all her little “High Touch Initiatives” put... — read more 

Last week CMS proposed a Medicare Advantage increase of 0.09% - basically nothing compared to the 2025 3.7% increase - all in the face of increasing medical costs, significant turbulence, and troubles in the industry. I would not be surprised if we... — read more 

It’s Friday. Last business day of the month. Seems like a good day to reduce headcount. Anybody get called into a last minute Teams meeting with your very complicit PL and an HR stooge yet?

I heard there might be changes to community relations and related outreach. I work with that group but have been off on a leave. Have there been any changes? Same leadership or new?

Today we have a townhall meeting that is 30 minutes long, every other townhall we have had was always one hour, I am kind of concerned, but I also know Centene has their earnings call February 6th and if that goes badly, I am positive we will see... — read more 

Any truth behind a previous post that claim that layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026? We are entering the final 3 days of this supposed truth about when layoffs are happening and nothing major has happened. With the stock... — read more 

Centene's operations is complete chaos. It cannot get any worse. We have a Chief Operating Officer who is supposed to fix this. Why does Susan still have a job???? The blame does not lie just with Sarah. Next level leaders are equally responsible.

Excellent corporate strategy playing out in the Marketplace division.

Exceptional leadership in a time of great uncertainty. You haven’t wavered on the core principles that Centene emphasizes. I, for one, appreciate that. Too many haters on here. I am glad we have you and wouldn’t want to work under anyone else. The... — read more 

PL told us a reorg was planned for PHCO. Does anyone have the tea?

The people who run this company do not know what to do! Every directive we get from the top makes no sense and makes all of our jobs harder! This business is built on collecting free money from tax payers and the Idots still cant make it work!

I have an opportunity with MHS Indiana, however these post make me rethink my decision to take the position?

In the title but just wondering if they kick you out right away if going to a competitor (even if you give a 2 week notice). Want to see if they would pay you out for those weeks regardless.

Looking for advice on how best to ask for a higher severance amount. Has anyone recently been able to successfully negotiate higher.

Few of us were laid off today. Given 2 weeks notice and severance.

Ok so are we sure layoffs are expected over these next 3 weeks. Per sources on here should we be expecting some news of layoffs over these next 3 weeks. If anyone has any information please share. Thank you.

It’s very quiet in our area. I am wondering what’s going on. Awhile back people were talking their heads off now it’s quiet as a mouse around here. Work is is slimming down and all is being said is leadership is busy. Something seems off

Has anyone had experience with having a meeting with the compliance investigation unit that can give me insight? We’ve had several on our team go through these meetings and end up fired due to our previous manager and it is making our region very... — read more 

What’s the culture in the legal department?

I've seen a pattern recently where several former coworkers who left a while ago for what they thought were better jobs are now quietly reaching out, asking about coming back. Their new roles had hidden problems, worse culture, or just didn't live up... — read more

I didn’t see anything here in CA, but all the posts last week were so certain of mass layoffs. I would have expected to see some posts sharing their severance details

Any word if flexible schedules will be eliminated 2026? It’s one of the biggest incentives the company currently offers.

From 1.5 million to 1.3 million. Not terrible, until you read further that 2/3 of that 1.3 million were automatically enrolled from 2025. Which means they likely haven’t paid the premium yet. Thus, that 1.3 number is expected to drop once the bill... — read more 

With the "ghost" BH team in AZ and lawsuits alone with major risk in BH across the board are we losing contracts and RIFs planned? We are told at least 2x a week how BH is failing ..

If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be Centene layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Did everyone get a “special message” invite on Friday 12/29 in Ambetter?? Kind of freaking out!

My manager just kinda informed us in a soft way that the budget is tight and layoffs are probably pending. She says that I am a corporate employee but I am working under a states plan. When layoffs happen, do corporate employees get cut too or that... — read more 

Do we have a communications team? Do they help the senior leaders with their messaging? Sure seems like the answer is no. Employee messaging is terrible - inconsistent, inauthentic, and lacks humanity. What’s happening here?

Looks like we might be heading into a difficult week or weeks.
