Topics regarding layoffs at Centene Corp.

So we are basically sc--wed?

Centene’s next quarterly earnings call is Friday 7/25/25. Considering that there has not been a peep made internally about the potential 1.8 billion dollar hit to earnings outside of the initial press release, they’re going to have to do something... — read more 

Wouldn’t recommend

The culture is toxic, politics run deep, and everything feels disorganized thanks to nonstop reorgs. Management can be petty, and the leadership shift has tanked bonuses and left raises trailing behind inflation. There are no positives I can think of... — read more 

Centene requesting a 20% increase in GA for 2026??

If that’s true, our analysts are as bad as political pollsters. That means they were off by a mile for 2025. And that’s without knowing whether or not the subsidies will be extended (they won’t). Ambetter enrollment is going to plummet, only leaving... — read more 

The layoffs have started

I was just informed, unexpectedly, that four members of my team will be laid off next week as part of company-wide reductions. While my line of business isn’t directly tied to Ambetter Marketplace, it’s clear that the broader organizational cuts are... — read more 

Centene downgraded by Bank of America

To Underperform. Target price $30. Cited BBB passage. Eagerly awaiting turnaround plan from our fearless leader Sarah. You got this, girl boss. Right? Right?? Sarah???

Direct Pay HealthCare System

I have been working in this industry for a few years now. Do you think we will ever live in a world without insurance and have a Direct Pay HealthCare System? Fundamentally, I find myself preferring a direct model over traditional insurance based... — read more 

Class action lawsuits filed all weekend

All weekend law firms have been bringing forward class action lawsuits against Centene for allegedly committing fraud against investors due to pulled guidance reports. Things are not looking good for the company.

Why is everything so complicated here?

Every task feels like navigating a maze someone built while blindfolded. Documentation is outdated, handoffs are messy, and nobody owns anything end-to-end. I’ve been here over a year and still hit roadblocks daily. And no one seems interested in... — read more 

Risk Adjustment

Centene will receive $786 million in Risk-Adjusted Payments for Exchange Participation. Thoughts?

ESPP stock purchasing plan. Convenient Timing.

So if you are enrolled in the Centene ESPP stock purchasing plan, our most recent purchase was done on July 7, after the stocks tanked. But it goes off of the price on June 30. Pretty convenient timing to announce something that tanks stocks right... — read more 

AI

Curious if anyone knows how far along AI implementation is here? Seems like this would be a good time to hit the gas on this to reduce costs.

BBB

BBB just passed. We are cooked.

I'm so done

After seeing how Centene treats loyal employees, I’ve lost all motivation. Using work hours to job hunt and upskill. No point giving effort to a company that’ll discard you without a thought.

Centene stock price just tanked

What just happened? Down 24% after hours doesn’t seem like a good sign for the company. Is this due to big horrible bill being passed in the senate or what?

You are never truly safe

Two weeks ago the Appeals dept was notified TWICE in one week!!! The first time was with the entire dept letting them know that ONLY Medicaid appeals was going to be outsourced thru a vendor who has staff in the Philippines and India in early 2026... — read more 

UnitedHealth - back in office 4 days/week!

UnitedHealth’s new CEO is moving away from remote and hybrid work. Hopefully Centene doesn’t follow their lead. Will you quit or take significantly less money to avoid any sort of in-office requirement? ... — read more 

Town Hall

looks like $20.4M doesn’t buy jeans without frayed cuffs!

Please stop saying layoffs were a good thing

Some of you were lucky, but my former coworker and a good friend was laid off last year and is still looking for a new job. He’s not doing anything wrong. He’s competent, knowledgeable, and hardworking, but he just hasn’t had any luck. He’s changed... — read more 

Layoff was the best thing ever….

Just joining the growing list of former Centene employees coming back to say, being laid off was literally the best thing ever for me. After 4 months of being unemployed, I have a job where I am appreciated and valued for my contributions. I enjoy... — read more 

New CSO announcement

The new Chief Strategy Officer has been announced. I’ve had the pleasure (sarcasm) of working with the Chief Reactionary Office for many years. A lot of people were happy when Big Red left. I am included in this group. While she presents well... — read more
