Does anyone know if our severance agreement wording allocates the weeks paid out to a “ general lump sum” or allocates it to soecific calendar weeks? This will affect whether I have to wait to get unemployment benefits until after the severance... — read more 

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.

Back with another one. I'm straight spittin' screed for mah peeps. (Dig the alliteration?) Centene's new CIO said Monday that he's looking forward to “building on the strong foundation already in place.” Sarah London added that his technology... — read more 

Does anyone know when benefits will expire after VSP separation date 9/4?

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.

Anyone else wondering about the big Town Hall meeting next week. It seemed very sudden and when I looked back at the old announcements they always have announced the meetings a month in advance. Also seems like a lot of people leaders will be on site... — read more 

What do you think? What are the chances?

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.

Two more days and I have not had the best luck scoring interviews. What are some suggestions other than LinkedIn to search for jobs?

Several Coworkers who were laid off last year are still unemployed so if you can coast for another year - do it.

Good morning, so I was just curious I’ve been with Centene for 4.5 years, this is probably the worst I’ve seen it… mentally and physically I’m drained! When say drained it’s not a joke, can we get FMLA for something like this? I’m in New York if that... — read more 

Start a list to help the CEO prepare: SIU Debacle Updates on the new CRCO (Chief Risk Compliance Officer) Compliance Transformation 5.0 When is Centene rebranding to Humana Secret Santa .......

I love writing plan to write about CNC and managed care failure while the needy suffer. Give me some book name recommendations ideas.

I find it rather bizarre that there is no acknowledgment anywhere on CNet about the pending departures of so many people, or who is leaving. I took the VSP and feel bad for everyone else- those left behind and those forced out.

Centene has changed so drastically from the company I originally joined that I have no issues with leaving it behind. And I used to love my job. Sad what this leadership has turned it into.

Lets get this straight. This is not your typical outsourcing. Cognizant uses TriZetto Healthcare software platform. It uses agentic AI tools like Flowsource and Agent Foundry. You are losing your jobs to A.I. and the jobs lost are gone forever. No... — read more 

Any updates on Fidelis care? I saw an org chart on workday, and am seeing a lot of changes and restructuring happening. What are the latest updates?

Stuck in this Frontline Leaders training and I really don’t have time for this nor do I care in current climate. Anyone else have to take it and if so any ways to get around wasting this time I could be working?

This being our last week makes everything feel a little more real. What makes it even harder is that there really doesn’t seem to be a transition or exit plan. No one has spoken to me about who will be taking over the work I’ve been responsible for... — read more 

This is apparently my next “article,” because someone needs to do it. The starting point is Centene’s announcement of Bradley Bolivar as its new CIO. For those who slept through history class, Simón Bolívar was “El Libertador,” the guy who helped... — read more 

Care1st was bought out by Wellcare & then Centene. This layoff was by far the worst & they allowed departments to pick who stays & goes based off personal gain & who would fall in line for AI. People have been let go for automation that has not even... — read more 

Meanwhile in the Compliance department we are reviewing contracts under "mission simplify" to see what is needed at health plan level, corporate, or can be outsourced.

Has anyone noticed posts and comments about Christa, Sabrina, and Laura are being deleted? They really do have power over everyone :|

At the risk of sounding like I’m “whining” to my opps… yeah, I’m talking to you. 😂 Lemme get this right… Centene just hired the former Fannie Mae CIO to lead technology, data, and AI. Sarah London: _”We are entering a new era where data... — read more

new CIO starts today, was CIO at Fannie Mae

Received a notification that something in workday changed to my personal email. When i attempted to login in the work laptop, access was denied. Looks like they have removed all my access. Is anyone else experiencing this? My last day is 09/04.

Anyone completing it or is the exit interview a waste of time ?

There is an old leadership principle: A leader's competence is measured by what they build, but their accountability is measured by what they ignore. For nearly a decade at Centene, General Counsel Chris Koster has held primary responsibility for... — read more
