It's every day it is something! They are fully aware it needs to be fixed. It effects our Metrics when we lose calls or can't run a wizard due to the pink banner we all get!

Is it too much to ask for a few weeks without layoff rumors? As soon as one round ends, the next one starts getting whispered about. I'm so tired of never being able to let my guard down.

Colour me red! More layoffs this month! Send us all on the dole

Centene is navigating significant financial pressures heading into 2026, including a massive $6.6 billion loss in 2025 and projected 20% increases in 2026 ACA premium costs, which have driven ongoing restructuring and, for 2026, an environment of continued instability and potential, ongoing, or expected job reductions rather than a single, massive 2026 announcement.

Continued Instability: Following 2023's 2,000-job reduction, employees have reported ongoing, major layoffs and restructuring as of early 2026.

Financial Pressures: Centene reported a $1.1 billion loss for the fourth quarter of 2025, with a $6.6 billion loss for the full year 2025.

Market Challenges: The company is managing lower-than-expected enrollment in ACA plans, significant hits to Medicare Advantage revenue, and rising Medicaid costs.

Expected Trends: Analysts and reports suggest potential further cuts as the company attempts to stabilize after facing immense pressures on Medicaid and marketplace plans.

Although a specific "2026 headline" of X,X-X jobs has not been announced as of early 2026, the company is actively undergoing restructuring to manage significant losses, according to reports in early 2026.

Let's put some consideration to this considering that a lot of jobs will be going overseas. It's a last attempt at keeping some of the roles stateside.

Pennsylvania ranks third nationally for layoff notices this year. Approximately 4,000 workers in the state have received notices for 2026.

Economists view these notices as a signal, but not a complete economic picture.

Does anyone know the logic behind who was determined to be JE’d?

Unless they spring some nasty surprise at the last moment. I don't even like my job, but I'm still relieved. I'm juggling so much in life right now that losing this job would probably bring it all crashing down. I imagine most of you are in the same position. What I really hate is that we've been brought to this, fighting tooth and nail for a job we'd gladly ditch for something better. There don't seem to be many better ones these days.

But younger people should definitely not waste any more of their time. There's no future at this company, and even if there were, all of you could do better somewhere else.

did anyone see it? Someone asked about job cuts, and he said we are 74 management employees over right now which is 2%, but our normal churn is 3% (people leaving on their own), so he doesn't expect any cuts this year.

His words not mine. Just curious with everyone posting rumors of huge layoffs coming this month, when is that going to happen because Bill says it isn't. I also asked my VP, and he said he hasn't heard anything about a layoff. He's told me about one every time way in advance when somethings up. According to him they are very pleased with financials, and we expect to be in the black by end of the year with customer acquisition and profits.

Everyone is leaving. Everyone! Get your resume ready! Get away now!

Are they safe?

I would really like to have a weekend or two without dreading the next week. Why not just tell us, ffs? This scrambling for scraps of information is its own kind of torture.

She said she was implemented AI into her workflows… oh really? Give me 1 example of how you’re doing this

Also, I like how Mike avoided the question about AI taking jobs. He refused to specifically say if AI would or would not take jobs

I wake up every day thinking if I will lose my job today. Not how I can service clients. And did she just say everyone will get raises and they will be good? Who is everyone? And in July?

For active layoffs happening now, it’s probably too late. For others, how do you survive at a company like Nike for more than a decade? What tips or tricks do you have?

I've been in a role as administrative support the past 5 years and feel as though my days may be numbered. I've tried applying out but I've heard that any administrative clerks and support are stuck. I've applied for about 20 different positions over the last year and have been with the company 10 years with a solid resume. No interviews at all. I am worried my role is not significant enough for them and would not be surprised if they RIFd me. Has anyone else experienced this feeling like you're being blocked?

Is it weird that I'd like to be laid off? I am burnt out and was thinking of quitting anyway.
What can I do to get laid off while they still offer severance?

I'm stuck at T3 for 5 years doing the same job as T4s on the team. Issue goes back to legacy roles where 3 roles got rolled into 1 and some got stuck at T3 and others got to keep T4. 5 years later I'm still getting paid $50k less than them. Is this just the way it is at SAP?
