I've seen a pattern recently where several former coworkers who left a while ago for what they thought were better jobs are now quietly reaching out, asking about coming back. Their new roles had hidden problems, worse culture, or just didn't live up... — read more
Burnt out
Is it normal to feel completely and utterly burnt out, to the point where even the thought of work gives you anxiety? I can’t find another job, I can’t afford to just quit, so I’m stuck, and I don’t know how much more of this I can take without... — read more
Was there a layoff?
I didn’t see anything here in CA, but all the posts last week were so certain of mass layoffs. I would have expected to see some posts sharing their severance details
Flexible schedule
Any word if flexible schedules will be eliminated 2026? It’s one of the biggest incentives the company currently offers.
ACA enrollment down 191,000 in GA
From 1.5 million to 1.3 million. Not terrible, until you read further that 2/3 of that 1.3 million were automatically enrolled from 2025. Which means they likely haven’t paid the premium yet. Thus, that 1.3 number is expected to drop once the bill... — read more
Sounds like BH teams are at risk ?
With the "ghost" BH team in AZ and lawsuits alone with major risk in BH across the board are we losing contracts and RIFs planned? We are told at least 2x a week how BH is failing ..
Centene Layoffs 2026
If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be Centene layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
“Special Message”
Did everyone get a “special message” invite on Friday 12/29 in Ambetter?? Kind of freaking out!
Sounds like Pending Layoff
My manager just kinda informed us in a soft way that the budget is tight and layoffs are probably pending. She says that I am a corporate employee but I am working under a states plan. When layoffs happen, do corporate employees get cut too or that... — read more
Communications
Do we have a communications team? Do they help the senior leaders with their messaging? Sure seems like the answer is no. Employee messaging is terrible - inconsistent, inauthentic, and lacks humanity. What’s happening here?
Wishing everyone the best!
Looks like we might be heading into a difficult week or weeks.
Attention
Layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026 Polish up those resumes lots of new opportunities out there. One thing they can’t do is take away your talent so there loose and another’s win. List of states impacted Georgia... — read more
Will they at least wait until after the holidays to RIF?
Most of probably sense more layoffs coming. Surely they won’t move forward until January though. That would be heartless and the savings would be a rounding error. There are a lot of Sarah haters on here. I’m not one of them, but getting a RIF for... — read more
Settlement check
Received settlement check in the mail for the Huffman et al vs centene lawsuit...anyone else
The Ambetter Team is either blissfully ignorant or just burying their heads in the sand
No one at the rank and file level even seems to be aware of the cliff approaching in January. They just keep scurrying around like rats while the ship sinks. Amazing dissonance going on. 😂
Layoffs and yet another $$$ tech VP
I'm trying to make sense of the mixed messages and bringing in another industry CIO like Paula Krantz in our current climate. The leadership of this company seems to burns money on shiny new hires but layoffs and hardly cost living raises are the... — read more
Is our CEO lost?
I feel like the leadership in this company is so confused about how to run a good healthcare company and it starts from the top. Sarah London is not a good leader and she needs to go.
Any info yet on ACA enrollment trends?
I know it is predicted to be lower, maybe significantly so without the extension of the subsidies. And is it fair to say Medicaid is mostly safe until 2027?
A little advice for the C-Suit
You are running the easiest semi-legal racket in the world and your unchecked greed is going to bring the whole thing to the ground. Money just rolls in and you don't even have to produce anything tangible. You don't even have to guarantee... — read more
Can someone explain to me how some members pay zero premiums for ACA plans?
Legit question and please correct me if I have this wrong. But how does that occur? If there are people paying nothing for health insurance who don’t even work, I can understand why the American people have a bad taste about this. Love to hear this... — read more
Any one else feel like this company is failing?
I try to keep up with the stocks and stuff and it seems like we did so bad this year then i saw the other day that we lost another contract in Fla and then the tax credits for our market place plans are going away. And then the medicaid cuts are... — read more
More layoffs this week?
Apparently, there were some layoffs yesterday. Will it continue today and throughout the week or is that it?
Margins over membership
Said specifically by CEO yesterday during UBS call. Also indicated Centene is not trying to grow at this point (hence the title) and that they are bracing for up to 30+ percent drop in ACA membership. Medicaid will really feel it come 2017. And... — read more
Medicaid
Centene's FL Medicaid contract taken up by Molina.
Centene filed WARN for Dec layoffs.
Centene issued a WARN notice on October 20, 2025, with a layoff date of December 19, 2025, for Centene Management Company, LLC. While the specific locations and roles are not yet detailed, the notice is part of a larger trend of workforce reduction... — read more
$1.5 million for food security
I’m all for helping others, but what about helping your employees who are not making a living wage first? We all know this isn’t coming from Sarah’s hefty paycheck and she doesn’t have to worry about where her next meal is coming from.
Surprised not more reports of RIFs
Certainly glad to hear it. I just thought we would have heard of more cuts, especially within Ambetter. And especially within Ambetter BH. Certainly hope it holds up for everyone, especially this time of year.
Timber! Goes Centene stock price
The company absolutely went down hill after Michael F. Neidorff died. The executives decided to save a little money and offshore to the Philippines. Guess what Centene. Americans don't like talking to foreigners.! We get sc--wed on jobs from H1B's... — read more
NC Merger: any layoff news?
Wondering about the NC merger of Carolina Complete Health and WellCare scheduled for Q12026. Any news of layoffs yet? I’m at CCH and we are already closing all open roles or just not filling them. Everyone is even more overworked than before.
Compliance
I believe I am being unfairly singled out by one of the Senior Directors within Superior Compliance. It has come to my attention that this individual has made unprofessional remarks about team members via Teams and has demonstrated behavior that... — read more
WellCare
Any word on what’s going on with the WellCare LOB ? Been getting some marketplace work/large caseloads/restructuring..
Why centene managers are doing micromanagement
Why centene managers are doing more micromanagement and have very high expectations. Is there too much pressure coming from top management. I have never worked with any company with this kind of work pressure
Ambetter Marketplace Layoff
Today i was told I'm being affected. 2.5 YOE with severance 4wks pay.
RIF in MI
RIF happened today in MI, stated it was due to Marketplace loss
More Humana pirates landing at Centene?
Humana is letting go of many leaders. If history is an indication, expect some to land at Centene. Ex-Humana people have been disasters at Centene, but we still hire them. Why?????
Ambetter
What’s going on with the Ambetter LOB?
Marketplace is next
I've been told marketplace is the main target of the next wave...no specific depts just that area in general is the target.
Be so for real… what’s the point of corporate marketing?
No shade 😅 but I’ve been with my state health plan for a bit and just found out we even have a corporate marketing team. Like… what do they actually do? I asked my team and someone said, “they su-k, we don’t use them … we just do our own.” So now I’m... — read more
