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 Mission Simplfy changes, it seems worth asking what employes are seeing internally.
Are you seeing bus units being separated or simplified in ways that would make them easier to sell?
Are shared functions like finance, HR, tech or ops being split more clearly by line of business?
Are leaders asking for more detailed reporting on headcount, budgets, profitability or costs by individual business unit?
Have you seen unusual work around contracts... systems, vendors, assets or employee lists that seems designed to identify what belongs to each part of the company?
Does the Cognizant outsourcing look like normal cost cutting??? or does it look like Centene is trying to reduce the amount of internal infrastructure it carries?
Are there certain businesses, markets or LOBs that look more likely to be sold, exited or separated than others?
For people closer to leadership, finance, strategy or integration work, does what you are seeing look like normal restructuring, preparation for a breakup (preparation for a sale,??) or something else?
