Can you actually prove that the reasons for putting you on one were unjustified?

Centene is saying I chose to quit so I'm appealing the claim but wondering what I should do to prep. I don't have the email any longer where Sarah said she's going to lay people off but I have the initial VSP letter and Centene is all over the news. Would love some direction - positive comments only, thanks! ;)

Has anyone approved for unemployment benefits taking the VSP option ? any tips on how to appeal this do I have to wait after three months? I hope a job comes sooner than this, but has anyone heard anything as far as getting unemployment or has received unemployment?

“We do what’s right, not what’s easy.”

This is a published Centene behavior. We bring these up a lot when the company hits another increasingly frequent failure bump in the road. It’s the culture leadership pushed down on employees.

Then, when leadership fails to live it, those same employees become a workforce optimization opportunity.

In 2025, 93% of appealed Centene Medicare Advantage prior-authorization denials were overturned. What? Yeah, 93%

Maybe update the values poster: “We do what’s right, not what’s easy.” Might I be so bold to suggest a more realistic behavior, if we’re being honest might be “We do what’s right after you make us.”

Final observation: doing what’s right shouldn’t have an appeals process.

A serious question - does this exist?

Has anyone else run into problems getting your unemployment paid in Texas? They denied our claims for payment because of getting the severance package! So now after 6 months separation, they will now start the 6 month clock to claim. So 6 months of logging every job search so far, and now have to keep on logging it. No one is even willing to interview a database programmer in their 60’s! We appealed, and it took them 12 weeks to finally set up a hearing on it next week. Any tips?? TIA

I was just told that to receive the vsp, you MUST be working the full two weeks before your separation date. So if you have any pre-approved pto in the system already, they will expect you to change those dates….or appeal (somehow).

Anyone could share reasonable requests that could ask to amend/appeal the terms of the severance? Much thanks.

I was told by alight that I canceled my retirement last year when I was piped out. I took the pil in july or august last year. I was NRE but knew I was doomed so I left on my own. I got 3 months pay and left asap. I was classified as a terminee because I wasn't 55. I had to wait 90 days to get my lump sum. I turned in the paper work and waited. I got no notification about my status from alight so I called. They said I had canceled my retirement and the lump sum option was not available any more. I filled an appeal and it took a few weeks to get it approved. I faxed and mailed my paperwork to alight. I called and alight rejected my forms because of ilegible dates by the notary. You have to have a notary sign and stamp the spousal consent. Ok round three and I send off the paperwork again. This time alight rejected it because the notary seal was distorted. Now the final attempt and I thought alight was just trying to tire me out so I would just choose the annuity. I meticulously signed the forms and made sure the notary did the same. I hand delivered the paperwork to the woodlands office of alight and turned them into some one at the front desk. The main problem is that it takes several weeks for alight to process the forms and their website is terrible. It says processing for the longest time and then at once says rejected. Once rejected you have to start the process all over waiting for them to mail new paper work. Another stupid thing was all my correspondence was going to my work email which I had no access to. Finally I got my approval and my check. I actually got a few more thousand dollars because my retirement was postponed by a few months. It was a real pain in th a ss kind of like exxon forms and approvals.

Or-l arguments were finally heard in district 4 (Charlotte) regarding Wells Fargo's appeal of the Billesdon case. Here is the audio file - https://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/OAarchive/mp3/25-1495-20260505.mp3

Its about 1 hour long and well worth listening to.

The 3 judge panel seemed perplexed why they would let go someone who brought into the bank over 60M in revenue, and the timing of his addition to layoff list was very suspect.

If you are unfamiliar with the case, here is the $22,000,000 jury decision handed down in Charlotte NC against Wells Fargo in 2025: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/north-carolina/ncwdce/3:2023cv00160/111371/78/
and

Its the same pattern -a disabled Wells Fargo employee, needed wfh accommodation, bank said no, then fired him for asking.

If you fit the same pattern, know that you have a very limited timeline to file a charge against the company - seek legal counsel asap

APLA is nothing without CS.
This is why I'm writing the appeal the decision made up above that CS moves to Greater China which is not a good idea.
CS needs to stay in APLA at least until it's broken up.
GC needs a local to the Chinese market.

"We are The Washington Post's international correspondents, writing with a collective plea for you to preserve our newspaper's global coverage, which we fear will be greatly weakened in coming cuts," one such appeal read. "Our coverage — thanks to your investment — shapes conversation and global policy at the highest levels each day."

What is considered standard inventory levels at Nike Stores?
Such as 20 pairs of specific Nike shirts, shorts, Nike shoes etc?

With the amount of Nike appeal most of you Nike employees have swiped over the years and either sold it on your own or stockpiled it. If you were smart to stockpiled it, did you swipe enough Nike Appeal to open up your own Nike Store Knockoff?

An appeals judge has tossed Phillips’s appeal of the $833 million judgment awarded to Propel Fuels.
Heh, Heh, Heh!!!

Say you had a dispute with him. He was clearly at fault and tried to hide it. Now he wants you gone and he made it happen. Right after being informed that you have to go, can you appeal the decision by let's say contact everybody you can above his rank and on his reporting hierarchy to explain the situation ? That would be during the notice period.
