I currently work on the Medicare side, just went through teams/email organization tree to see what impact 9/4 had. All of inside sales were wiped out, and field sales are very few. What changes have you noticed in your department?

Skeleton Crew
At this point, we’re basically a skeleton crew trying to keep everything moving while picking up the work left behind by the people who left. The interesting thing is, the workload doesn’t leave when the people do. It just gets redistributed to... — read more

VSP payout
Has anyone who separated on 9/4 gotten an update as to when the payout will occur? Also will anything deter you from getting the VSP? I just have so many questions and concerns and it was written poorly; leaving a ton of questions
Org cuts coming in Dec
If you thought the cuts were done, or mostly done, wrong. The Org cuts will occur Dec. Most will be told early to mid Nov. CN wants everyone off the books by Jan. Welcome to the magical 3% plus margin goal. Stock should do well though..
You know what wouldn't surprise me?
If we had layoffs later this week. For no other reason but to fu-k with us. That's how low my opinion is of this leadership. I honestly believe them capable of that.
Severance Weeks Less
First. I received my severance paperwork on Sept 5 around 3:42am via my personal email. Second. Severance had less than 17 weeks it told me I would get. Third. I didn't sign anything. It is an email on the severance you can address your questions... — read more
Return equipment
Does anyone know where we send our laptops if our last day was 9/4? I haven’t seen any instruction.
No Release?
My last working day was 9/4. I see everyone talking about their release. I never received one in Workday. I checked all day until I lost access and nothing. Are they sending them in waves?
Release
Does anyone feel like this release was written horribly?? Are you signing? Was this legal?
What/Who determines the VSP dates?
I currently work in retention, and our job is mostly on the phone conducting outreach to members, my VSP apparently is not 9/4/2026, and instead it’a in 2027. I didn’t think my job was that important that they needed me to stay until next year? ... — read more

My post was deleted
Some of the leaders on here are insecure enough to work extra hard to have it taken down. I did not say anything that was beneath the belt, but sure admin… burry the truth
Workday
Did anyone who took the VSP and separated 9/4, get to log in to Workday and it says Terminated?!? Is this normal? Should I be worried about receiving my VSP?
Anyone under 40 get laid off?
Just curious....noticed some age related trends in my department...

Are layoffs the new normal?
Something we have to deal with as a fact of life, not as an occasional happening?
This is it. The day finally came.
I have very mixed feelings about leaving. Part of me wishes I could have stayed and continued my healthcare career with the company. But another part of me recognizes that, based on my experience, management and the environment created by its... — read more
Dayforce
Not even end of my shift for my last day today and they already took away my access to clock out for lunch and end of day. Mypay shows authentication failed. Anybody else?
Severance package/involuntary laid off employees
Why are some saying there was no severance package for those involuntarily let go this time while others are saying there were? Can anyone who was laid off set the record straight?
VSP Sign AFTER last paycheck verbiage?
in the agreement it says "except that Employee may not sign this Release prior to Employee’s Termination Date and prior to receiving Employee’s final paycheck.” did anyone sign theirs today??? I'm confused lol
ICHRA COBRA ??
Im reviewing the vsp email and there is a section about ICHRA cobra..Are they offering ichra health plans to people instead of the plan they had before but still want cobra premiums?
VSP Severance Details for 9/4 separation

Put this on the corporate "About Centene" page.

Has anybody stopped stressing?
I can't seem to get rid of the knot in my gut even now.
Unemployment question

Moving On
Hey everyone. For those of you that are finding work right away; what’s your area of expertise? Also, will you be inperson or remote. Did you pivot to another lane? This job market is a hot mess.

Care Manager-sign on Bonus
I am confused why they have these roles available, did they lay off too many nurses or what? Is this something Sarah didn’t think through, now you are offering 2500-5000 sign on bonus for these roles.

Will things ever go back to normal?
What do you think? What are the chances?
VSP vs ISP
What is the difference for anyone let go immediately on 8/10? They essentially rec'd four weeks additional pay just like VSP and they didn't have to work! Their severance begins 9/4 just like VSP.
Hiring sites
Two more days and I have not had the best luck scoring interviews. What are some suggestions other than LinkedIn to search for jobs?
Dont take VSP - Job market is brutal
Several Coworkers who were laid off last year are still unemployed so if you can coast for another year - do it.
