Employers are ideally looking for an employee who has the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and wants to work for the pay of a 20 year old. And if you're out of any of these categories, pack your... — read more

I started with Centene only 4 months ago and I'm blown away by the uncaring culture. I can't believe "they can't be certain" we won't be cut down the road, as I was told in a recent meeting. Anyway, I'm out. I was just recruited by a small local... — read more

What positions were mainly reduced in shared services? Will there be future lay off in place for them as well? Word is, they are growing.

The job market is pretty tough right now. These companies are really lowballing compensation. It’s almost like they see laid off as your reasoning, and know you’re desperate.

I watched as employees who subordinated their private lives to this company were laid off. The old value system in which the company’s loyal employees are the best asset, no longer represents absolutely anything. Loyalty seems to have become... — read more
