The health-insurance industry is the largest barely-legal fraud in America. The guy who started Centene was a money grubbing thug. The people running the company now have Zero morals or integrity. You make major profit by denying people... — read more
I'm a bit confused
Are we now officially done with involuntary layoffs for a while? I can't figure out how many people were notified so far and if there are more notifications waiting for some future date.
Cash Team (COE)
Has anyone heard about the new Medicaid Accounting Cash Team that’s supposedly being created? Looks like the team may be formed as part of the restructuring related to the VSP/ISP, with some, if not all, Accountant I and II positions on the Medicaid... — read more
Layoff/vsp numbers
Sp exactly how many ppl do they want to eliminate by ISP and VSP?
SIU Feedback: Requesting Professionalism When Posting
Over the past 24 hours, a significant number of threads have focused on Christa, Sabrina, Laura, and the direction of SIU. While every employee has a right to express frustration regarding workload and organizational shifts, the recent rhetoric has... — read more
EBOS Townhall Sad Continuation
We finally had the EBOS Townhall, postponed repeatedly after the VSP and RIFs started. Depressingly cringe, like trying to give a team halftime pep talk when 30% of the team left, 30% injured and the rest left to make up a 100 point scoring deficit... — read more
Org chaos - look at any org
The CN org structure is crazy - random look at any org. I looked a Procurement - don't know a single person. VP head - 6 direct: 1 Sr Dir, 1 Dir, 2 Sr Mgr, 2 Mgr. Lets just look at that 1 Sr Dir - under is 1 Sr Mgr (3 under), 1 Mgr (2 under), 1 Dir... — read more
SIU Is Only The Tip Of The Iceberg
If Centene is serious about understanding what is happening within Corporate Ethics & Compliance, then stop looking at individual employees and start looking at the people making the decisions. The problem is much bigger than SIU. It extends across... — read more

re-structuring 101
CenTeam, I am writing to share that Ashlee Knuckey will no longer serve as Centene’s Chief Risk, Ethics and Compliance Officer. We are grateful for Ashlee's many contributions to Centene and the Compliance organization during her tenure. Chris... — read more
Centene SIU: A Regulatory Disaster in the Making! Sarah London, Take Action!!
If you’ve been watching Centene’s Special Investigation Unit fall apart over the past few months, you already know we are staring at a textbook operational breakdown. What should be Centene’s strongest defense against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse has been... — read more
Survey
Do you think that they will ever act based on what people tell them in surveys? I doubt it. What a royal waste of time, I dont even know why they bother.
Cognizant replacing who stayed
Meetings already happening with Cognizant. Leadership are tight lipped since their roles are limited too. The goal is to show them the ropes so they can take over....
What a mess!
This is an absolute mess all this that's going on. Wonder how well 19 mill helps someone sleep at night. What a nightmare this has all been. I could have thought of a better way to handle all this and gotten a much lower pay🤦 🍿
When will the next RIF be?
Trying to determine when the next RIFS will happen. Will it be early October with a December exit day?
RIF still in progress?
Is the RIF ongoing or have they finished?
Ashlee Knuckey out as CCO
So heads are rolling. Ashlee is out effective immediately as Chief Compliance Officer. Interim to be announced tomorrow.
VSP
Am I reading correctly that we will not collect VSP until 45 days after signing the agreement on our separation date?
VSP Tax Withholding
is there any way to opt out of the tax withholding for the VSP? I understand the possibility of owing next April, but that’s not my current concern. I am in Florida, so no additional state withholding.
Horrible Leadership
I started with Centene about 3 years ago. I came from a leadership background of 18years and wanted a break for management. In my short time here with Centene I can’t get over how horrible the leaders are. It seems as though not one of them truly... — read more
Internal openings
Is it worth applying for other roles? Ive been here just a tad over a year and my supervisor said theyre not hiring for the rest of this year, but she didn’t answer when i asked about applying to other roles internally
Ajoy is truly out of his league
Just listening to him fumble his way through the opening of the BTS leader call is painful. This man is who Sarah thinks is SVP, or more, material? Centene is doomed with current leadership.
Compliance team culture?
What’s life like these days within the compliance organization?
Sept 4thers start prepping, please add to the list!
Please use this thread for anything we should consider: write down login details for VSP site update security questions in myPay confirm personal email and address in Workday write down your 6 digit employee ID (I’m an old employee that... — read more
OOO
Lots of out of office notifications. What’s up with that?
When is the VSP payment date?
Anyone know? Information provided by Centene is not very clear.
09/04 Is Around The Corner
As I get ready to start this week, I can’t help but think that September 4 is right around the corner, and I’m starting to feel conflicted. Part of me is so happy to finally say goodbye to a company that, sadly, became toxic due to certain leadership... — read more
When can ISP employees start a new job?
Has anyone received their release notice? My separation date is September 4th but wondering if there is verbiage about not starting a new job for a certain time frame...curious what is in this release...
Leadership knows exactly what they're doing
They're milking the company for quick profits while it lasts. Layoffs boost stock prices and pad bonuses, even if they hollow out the company for the future. They're not clueless. They just don't care what happens after they cash out.
Are you staying if your VSP date is well into next year?
I'm assuming their goal with that was to get people to quit on their own, so I'm just wondering if it worked on anybody.
Employment attorney
For anyone looking for an excellent employment attorney - https://www.kdh-law.com/ Anne Schiavone represented me against another company and yes, we won! Her firm practices on STL although they are located in KC. I highly recommend. I have been in... — read more
Kid in college - FASFA
Anyone know what we need from Centene to submit to our kids' college to redo the FASFA? Just before the layoffs I paid my daughter's tuition in full and that was all my savings. Guessing you can't get that back.
More leadership gone?
Is Tanya McNally also no longer at Centene? I see her showing as "presence unknown"........
CNC should become an ASO
Thoughts? They’re in the transition, why not? Shift a bit of sakes sales. Less risk and guaranteed a cut for Senior Leadership.
Party over
You know how when a party is winding down and there are just a few stragglers left. That is how my team is starting to feel from almost 70 at one time to about 17 left after ISP and VSP. It's been a gradual decline with a large balloon at the end... — read more
Is Centene Cutting Costs or Trading Employees for Vendor Dependency?
