Are layoffs still happening today?

I understand that AI can help automate some processes, but it is NOT the answer! So many people hate talking to automated call centers and crave human-connection and understanding. AI cannot do ALL of the jobs Centene is erasing! It's been proven that AI makes horrific and literally fatal-mistakes. Who is liable when AI starts causing member-deaths? People, we've seen the current headlines of AI directing people to un-alive themselves, we've seen the movies--we know how this ends! :'(

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is implementing staff reductions. These cuts are raising concerns among meteorologists. Local weather forecasters rely on NOAA for crucial data and support. The potential impact on weather forecasting accuracy is a significant worry. Meteorologists are expressing apprehension about these developments.

Im not one that was vsp eligible, however with all the changes going on i checked my schedule in NICE IEX and i cant see anything past September 4th! Ive never had a reason to check my schedule until now. And no it has not always been that way where it shows up last minute. Im seeing lots of people being let go around that time. I havent gotten an email or teams meeting its just business as usual for my team. Im in the claims call center. My question is…..

Should i reach out to HR and ask why i cant see my schedule? My supervisor wont tell me anything

The latest earnings call and filings are worrying. I read somewhere that $1m per day is going towards interest payments? Can we expect even more layoffs?

Even though the government has increased the H-1B fees, I bet Fiserv will still continue to renew people’s H-1Bs while not giving others their merit increases.

Please! We are all worried and stressed share what you know! What states? What departments? Any severance? What date are you leaving? You are already here typing so help us all out!

Thank you!!

Are we thinking a big announcement or just quiet cuts? My org has hired quite a few in the last quarter, so confused what’s going on here. Not convinced they’ll be doing any major LRs as of now.

AMD is doing a string of acquisitions lately with the most recent one being Taalas. I've heard that things are already dicey internally@amd

But are layoffs actually on the horizon because of these acquisitions ? Any chatter?

In the past, layoffs were final. They took a day or two to let everybody know and after that we could refocus on our work. Now, even after this round is done, we know more will be coming. In a month, two, or six, but we all know it's coming. There's no reprieve anymore. Just constant stressing.

I am KY UM Medicaid any word. We have continued to asked and been told that there is no reason to worry we are busy. Also that vsp were not approved until September of next year. Which I did not believe.

Layoffs have started and there is no end in sight. Sad to see so many post on LinkedIn.

Checking on colleagues. All quiet in my area.

Am I the only one who has noticed that the Webster, NY buildings feel warmer this summer than they did last summer? There is zero cool air movement in some of the labs and some of the cubicle areas. One lab in particular, which we used to call "Ice Box," is now "The Bahamas." It is literally that hot in there.

Any insight to what is going to happen to the project claims analyst?
I feel they will be needed for a very long time but I feel alot are in the dark especially now with the 500M purchase of that company that will process more claims with AI and overseas.

In huddle this week, our PL said our debt SHOULD be safe. Anybody else in UM for Medicare hear the same? She briefly brushed past it so it didn’t seem super confident. Not sure if I should be happy or maybe we’re just safe FOR NOW. 😭

The cost cutting and deferred maintenance are starting to show. Many items in campus are just left broken and not being repaired. Pathetic.
Should people be rewarded for saving money at the expense of not maintaining things? In the long run doesn’t this backfire?

Does anyone have a scooby what’s happening with the ring fence for Aberdeen folk? I’m in it and don’t want to be. What are the chances that I get saved to work something else or get to move to a different location?

Yep, another 12%. Media companies across the US continue to circle the drain.

p.s. Feel free to add that short, toxic, fat, combative liability of a new CISO to the list. Someone who actually fits in the culture would make things better. His enemies list grows week by week.

So when will know when the 1st lay off will occur it’s August 7th? I need a report let’s talk about it!

Bryan has the energy of a used car salesman. He seems very untrustworthy and incompetent. They just talk a lot without saying anything substantive. What is happening with the company? What is HISs future? Why do they even do quarterly calls to tell us we are doing well and then pull some bs like this. Bryan is taking home a gigantic paycheck compared to the size of our company. The greed of shareholders is really insane. Every company lays off thousands of employees like it’s nothing just because the profits were 1 or 2 percentage lower.

Seems like many of my go to resources adjacent to my account team has been retiring this week. What's going on?

The function I work in hasn’t communicated anything about the reorg. Leaders did one initial communication that gave no information, and they said more will be communicated when information is available. It’s now August and still NOTHING. So now we’re all stressed and anxious, which isn't good for focus, productivity or safety. And we’re wondering: Do our leaders even know what their fate is let alone what ours is? Or does leadership even realize the affect that their lack of communication is causing? This lack of communication feels so disrespectful and manipulative. Just giving us a timeline would make people feel better.

Now that the VSP program has finalized we know the company will be moving forward with involuntary layoffs. Does Centene still have to submit a WARN notice? I did some research and the VSP does not fall under a WARN notice so if Centene decides to lay off more people they have to submit one. My question is, is the WARN notice only for a significant cut in workforce or even if they have a small number of layoffs to do.
I didn’t take the VSP and I’m ok with that but I’m honestly annoyed with not knowing if I’m going to have a job in 60 days or not. The games are getting old.

Heard sales and the BU are going to get hit pretty hard and truth to that?

Ive heard from some people who heard from the higher ups that the call center reps are safe even with those who did or didnt take the vsp??? Is that true?! If so why would they be safe from restructuring and not other departments?

So....did they say anything about it? Didnt think so....It will never be spoken of again like it was never under any consideration. Funny that, isn't it?

So if you are scheduled meeting next week , you are ok ?

Just an FYI for you. I entered a comment (on this site) about how Jones is reducing payouts on LP A share and provided my conjectures on its future. I was searching for sites that might provide more information on the offering. Guess what— AI quoted my comments as a factual response to my search. It is so ironic. The offering that will substantially lessen my annual earnings will provide capital to increase AI that is simply taking information whether factual or not and providing to users. So sad! Beware of any information provided by AI online.

Am I safe in the next few rounds? Anyone has similar experience?

It’s hurting!

Employees deserved better. Shareholders will be next to take the brunt. Dell is dying

Nepotism is alive on the east coast!

Entire empty buildings, with equipment on a single floor, are kept at refrigerator-like temperatures. Why?

This waiting for Godot sh-t is for the birds!

Sarah or anyone from her team, please provide clarification on what is happening? You preach transparency, but as you can see from this Forum, employees are feeling confused, uncertain and obviously need answers and what is happening to make good decisions about their future with Centene. PLEASE, provide more answers to your employees!

Just head about the latest rounds of layoffs. Any word if Core Operations will be hit? Prayers up for anyone affected

Too big to fail is a comforting lie. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
