I just very recently found out that you laid off our daughter for some kind of fake intelligence software?!

Do you know how much it cost us to send her to school for that train and how hard she worked to get her degree.

She has worked for your organization for over a decade and now you throw her away like a piece of trash?!

What in the world is going on over at this company?!

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.

That's not always been the truth, but it certainly is now. You're a line item. If they get rid of you, there's always someone else who will take your spot for less money. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much you know. There's always somebody cheaper.

As name suggests time in office is now apart of performance.

<8h a day will put you on list and <1h few times will get you even worse.

Ask me how found out lol

Hello Humana,

I stumbled across this site and just wanted to tell you that I am one of the 600,0000 (600k) members that received a letter today that you are exiting my plan and that my Medicare coverage has been terminated.

I am hopping mad! I mean, what kind of looney tunes circus are you guys running there anyway!!!

I have officially moved on from Verizon Business.

Ultimately, the workload, expectations, and compensation were no longer sustainable. Managing an entire territory on a base salary of roughly $36,000, while absorbing the expenses that come with being in the field, is difficult to justify. R2B territory managers are among some of the lowest-paid territory managers when compared with similar positions across industries, and they are expected to do it without even a vehicle allowance.

But the compensation itself was only part of the problem. The bigger issue was what was promised.

During the transition, employees were told that the new job title and expanded responsibilities would come with an increase in base salary. People moved into these positions and accepted significantly greater responsibilities based, at least in part, on what they were told their compensation would become.

That promised base salary increase never came.

There is a major difference between accepting a demanding job knowing exactly what it pays and accepting expanded responsibilities based on a representation that your compensation would increase.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people still working in R2B. They deserve compensation and resources that reflect the job they are actually doing, and more importantly, they deserve what they were promised.

What is our leadership team and board doing? They have the worker communication and execution plan for layoffs. Supposedly there was some buyout attempt that seems to make our company look worse. The communication for future projects is murky and now there is supposedly no more cw’s. We need a real leader to get back the camaraderie and culture so people actually want to come to work. This is just bullsh-t torture every day.

I expect to be cut this month in September (USA) and I was wondering how the package on the 8th was structured.

Thanks in advance!!

Just got out of a meeting with our ED, her exact quote “after a thorough review of everyday business, the business decision was made to eliminate the roles of your manager and lead.”

There are a few PIPs in Bangalore (India).

A few of my friends/ coworkers are leaving the company instead of relocating. I’m sad to lose great people. We did big things together and am close friends with many. I respect their choices and wish them well.
Hard to expect people to uproot their families when more layoffs in Houston are expected.
How many did not relocate? Is there %? Seems like a majority but may be my team.
They will be missed. Good luck.

Overachieve every quarter, showcase excellent results, customer satisfaction, retention upsell.

All that doesn't matter anymore, you want more pay ? You want a promotion ? Bullsh-t stretch assignments is the only way.

It wasn't like this before, we can thank NetApp for hiring the laziest, cr-ppiest leadership teams straight out of the gutter of other hyperscalers, starting with a horrible HR policy.

Oh and that is based on the idea that NetApp actually pays commissions. We on month 4 and still not information on payments. Finance is stretched, so they say.

Begs the question, is NetApp led by incompetent fools, or malicious id--ts.

Post-2025 layoffs, it seems like at least once a week there’s a new post from people concerned about the direction of the company or about their own future and well-being within the company. I’m glad that this safe space exists so that we can vent.

Even though I am no longer with the company, and I’ve since moved on, this has become one of my favorite past times over a cup of coffee in the morning to read through the threads. ☕️ If anything, reading through the comments confirms and continually reaffirms to me that though it wasn’t my decision to leave, they did me a favor.

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, and from what I can see, even the people who are staying haven’t been given much direction on what happens next or who will be responsible for what. After 15 years, I guess I just expected the ending to feel a little different.

To the OGs of Centene — thank you for the 15 years. This place was so much more than just a job to me. For so many years, it felt like family. I grew here, learned here, made memories here, and gave a huge part of my life to this company.

To those who are staying — please be careful and keep looking outside the company, too. From everything we’ve been seeing, more and more roles and responsibilities are being moved toward outsourcing, and I think it’s important to keep your options open. Maybe that’s also why we’ve seen so many leaders taking their PTO lately. Who knows.

I don’t know where my path will lead from here, and truthfully, that uncertainty is scary. But I’m grateful for everything this company taught me and for all the people who were part of the journey.

It’s genuinely sad to watch something that once felt so strong and meaningful slowly sink to the bottom of the ocean. I never imagined I’d be watching it happen from the inside.

Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board is undergoing significant layoffs, impacting 566 employees. Concurrently, concerns are surfacing from both affected staff and their union regarding the agency's increasing reliance on artificial intelligence. Employees report being tasked with training AI systems that may ultimately replace their roles. The union president expressed worries about the automation of work and potential diminished services for injured workers. The WSIB stated that technology has long been used to streamline administrative tasks and improve support.

VCU Health's environmental services contractor, Crothall Healthcare, is set to lay off 545 employees. This action is a direct result of VCU Health selecting a new provider for these services. The transition to HHS Environmental Services will take effect on November 1st. Crothall expects most affected employees may have an opportunity to continue their employment with the new contractor. VCU Health stated the change is part of a regular evaluation and competitive sourcing process.

Just curious , some of the colleagues I know who got laid off months back are still in Aria under their managers. why is Aria not updated?

So as many people here. Today, early morning 1:1 with manager. Buddy...You are on PIP!
1 month PIP in European country. Software.

Is it once again in thousands?

I wish it was me. I really do. There's no way in he-l we'll be able to do all of our work without them unless we completely give up our personal lives. They think we're automatons who can keep doing more and more all the time. We're not. We're human and this will break so many of us.

If we have to pre-submit questions, it's not an AMA. That last A stands for "anything", meaning your filtering of submitted questions removes the "anything" from the "Ask Me".

There is no better way to communicate to employees that you DGAF about employee-relevant questions.

Which one is better

Pretty straightforward chronicle of how Stankey and his fellow RTOstans are creating the very Gen Z and Gen Alpha attitudes they constantly whine about. I sure as he-l know that I wouldn’t tell my kid to go for a corporate job after my experience in this world.

Sending support, my heart goes out to everyone impacted. I’m truly sick to my stomach.

We are all...expendable

Based on recent organizational/Team changes throughout the company, recent executive departures, plans leaving states, hospitals/PCP going out of network ( Especially in NY) and the employee sentiment on this page, Centene feels like a sinking ship, and is sinking faster than anyone could have anticipated.

Do you miss us yet?

FIS Indian employees getting onto interview panels and rejecting qualified American candidates in favor of preferred candidates.
Interview questions and confidential hiring information being passed to friends or associates before interviews.
Interviewers receiving commissions or kickbacks when preferred candidates are hired, including payments connected to staffing vendors.
Once hired, favored employees receiving better assignments, visibility and promotion opportunities.
American workers being given unrealistic deadlines, criticized, marginalized and eventually pressured to resign.

Their words for what happens inside the company:
“This is called systemic pressure.”

Then they describe a second type of “syndicate.”
According to the source, managers and their subordinates become partners in grocery stores and restaurants, particularly around Atlanta, Jacksonville and Brown Deer. They rotate responsibilities so one of them is always at the business, creating another source of income outside their corporate jobs.

We’re constantly told FIS Indian is about hiring the “best and brightest” and the “most qualified.”

But what if the American candidate never had a fair shot in the first place?

Also, HR: you're fired!

I know my manager is an id--t but what kind of a heartless monster do you have to be to schedule a 1:1 titled update with somebody on a layoff day??? Related to something that isn't even all that urgent? I'm so, so angry now I can't even think properly. Yes, I'm relieved but I genuinely thought I was getting cut. I nearly threw up. What the fu-k???

European, 32.

I was indentified as LP (Low Performer). PIP goals are not clear at all.

My manager was always very friendly with me but not clear at all with my performance in the project.

For those who have been affected by the layoff, our hearts are with you. What are the severance details?

I came to this nation 20 years ago, and everywhere I go—whether it’s a shopping area, a park, School, an office, or a hospital—I have always witnessed the kindness, warm smiles, and compassion of the American people. However, I now worry about whether my children will receive that same love in the future because of the actions of some of our fellow Indians. In my own workplace, I have seen instances where Indian professionals undermine their American colleagues, making them feel inadequate or even pushed out of their jobs. Through overbearing behavior in meetings, manipulation, and even falsified experience, I fear these actions will negatively impact how this community is perceived.

For as cr-ppy of a place to work as this place has become, I have seen a few people boomerang back, which made me curious. If you left and regretted it, what changed your mind? And for those who came back, what made you return?

Adding myself to the list: Sudden PIP after years of being rated "exceeds", getting bonuses, equity grants, etc. Demographics-wise, caucasian, over 60.

If this happens to you (and it could, even if you don't think so!), do NOT take it personally. It is not a reflection on you, your value as a person, or your potential.

Presumably in a month or so, we will discover what life as an ex-IBM'er is like...

anything happening today?
last day of the month!

I am still waiting for my severance package.

The bloodbath has begun. Looks to be 15-20% RIF. Announcements for US to be rolled out by noon. India already announced. My team impacted 30%. Good luck all. This one is cutting to the bone.
