I just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on the current wait for payment. For those who had a 09/04 release date, I signed my agreement on the same day. I know there’s a 7-day revocation waiting period, and after that, they say it can take another... — read more 

I logged in today only to find out I was locked out by my administrator. Has this happened to anyone else?

I've started thinking my below market salary might actually be protecting my job. That's a pretty depressing thing to feel grateful for.

The next person with most experience has been here for a little over a year. Needless to say, I spend most of my time explaining how things work instead of doing my actual job. I'm this close to just quitting and lettings them figure it all out by... — read more 

I've read so many different things on here about what to do about the amount owed with Optum/Cobra.. I went ahead and signed for the amount that was like $1200/month because I assumed the amount will get fixed. This feels F*cking illegal. It's in our... — read more 

There has been a lot of speculation here about whether we are being prepared for a sale, breakup or some other mega restructuring. No one here knows if that is actually happening. But with the layoffs, VSP, outsourcing, business exits and all the... — read more 

Street is predicting Centene to make 70B with a huge B and yet, we have senior leadership team laying off people.

It has been two weeks since many members of my team have been involuntarily / voluntarily separated. I've picked up so much work and responsibilities. Any suggestions for what I should do? I'm feeling completely burnt out. I'm looking at other... — read more 

I understand there have already been many posts about the VSP and involuntary separations (layoffs). Some posts provide information people need at the moment, while others are more focused on sharing opinions or experiences. Either way, there was a... — read more 

Anyone who took the VSP get approved for unemployment? Or can share their experience with applying for it? No negative comments, thanks :)

Does anyone know the next notification date? RIFs are part of quarterly cadence at Centene. Last one was late because of VSP. When is next one planned?

Anyone know how annual benefit enrollment can impact COBRA? Specifically if I switch plans during AE, which will be the COBRA plan?

Could anyone clarify whether we are required to pay the initial premium amount sent by Optum, which reflects the total before the subsidy is applied? I was advised by CNC HR that we must pay the full amount upfront and that Optum will later deduct... — read more 

See title

I called HR and was on hold literally for 45 minutes only for them to never answer and hang up. I wonder what the timeline after the 7 days revocation period is.

Will it ever be enough?

Do you think I gave a hoot about some damn ethics or security risk training due? Lol let alone a progress checkpoint? Kick rocks!

If you got one and refused it, I don't understand you. Centene is a sinking ship. Why you'd choose to stay on with such a good alternative is beyond me.

So I'm over the 7 day wait period. Does anyone know if there is any notification after that or do we hurry up and wait?

Two Centenes showed up today. At Deutsche Bank, the investor story was margin recovery: fewer Medicaid members, a major Florida contract exit, Medicare Advantage still working toward break-even, and hundreds of millions in severance... — read more 

Centene gave the Deutsche Bank crowd a perfectly respectable update today: guidance holds, Q3 trends look like Q2, Medicaid margins are positive, and the turnaround is on track. All true. But it was also a remarkably selective story. The same... — read more 

"We live and work in the communities in which we serve." ​Is it just me, or does this slogan feel completely hollow lately? ​Let’s talk about the elephant in the room and what we can actually do about it. What can we realistically do to address this... — read more 

Have they mention how many people accepted the VSP? And how many RIFs this year?

Just disconnected from speaking with an Optum Financial call rep after receiving a letter from them that outlines premiums greater than what was agreed upon with Centene in the VSP separation agreement. The Optum Financial rep informed me they... — read more 

After finding out that my whole leadership took VSP and now part of a re-org I feel like my “new” team will be dissolved with my leadership departure. I would have taken the VSP if I would have known. Wondering if others feel that same.

Has anyone who accepted VSP been able to access their last paycheck stub? If so, how did you access the 09/11 paystub. I tried logging into Dayforce and resetting my password but the system no longer recognizes my username.

Do we need fairytales to hide the greed, fraud and cronyism? Elizabeth Brinn started Family Hospital Physician Associates, not a massive corporation named Centene. The Original Entity (1984): Elizabeth Brinn incorporated a small, single-city... — read more 

I know we all freaked out when we received the letter from Optum Financial with the COBRA info, but I want to make sure everyone understands that is NOT our out of pocket premium. Here is what you need to do (I just did it): either mail the form in... — read more 

For those whom took the VSP or impacted by ISP, what happened to your 401k loan? Did you have to pay the balance remaining immediately or did Fidelity Investments allow you to continue making biweekly payments?

How can you find your first day of unemployment with Centene to put on an unemployment application? My company was bought by Centene several years after I started.

Has anyone received a letter from Optum / Cobra after taking the VSP. I got a letter today stating that my premium due starting 10/1 are a total of $1,188.74 PER MONTH. How does that make sense? I thought they were paying a portion? this is... — read more 

I just kinda had a feeling I’d be let go, if not then.. eventually. Well my job along with others is posted. We had been told that we were in jeporday.. which is still being told to the remaining teams… confused on why they would repost a position... — read more 

Is anyone optimistic that we will see the severance pay on the 25th? For those who accepted on the 4th? The seven day revocation period has ended if you submitted on that date and the 25th would be the next pay period… or do you guys think it will be... — read more 

The EEOC has actively started cracking down on companies for using staffing agencies like Cognizant to replace American workers with low cost foreign visa workers. CNC announced a billion dollar deal with Cognizant a little over a month before the... — read more 

For those who received the ISP. Has anyone gotten the letter? I have only received the email for returning the equipment.

Very disappointed that no email was sent corporate wide on remembering 9/11 and celebrating our first responders. Everything else seems to be celebrated or talked about, so this is a HUGE MISS by the company.

I think at least half of employees would be gone by now. The lack of jobs is the only thing that's keeping so many of us here.

Things are getting pretty bad on the Medicare side of the business. Anyone paying attention should probably get ready for some major restructuring.
