Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

I feel you. A lot of us in the same boat. All you can do is try to prepare. Increase the emergency fund. Try to accomplish things while you're here to strengthen your resume, and capture the data you need to make it sounds good. Network. Take advantage of every benefit you can. Learn and use AI enough that you have that experience on your resume.

For mental health, try to care less about the company and just do your job. Centene messed up Wellcare, then messed up Marketplace, and now they're messing up Medicaid. They don't care, and they'll gladly sc--w over both employees and the company's mission to make sure Sarah London and crew get their multimillion bonuses. None of us can change that. Just do your job, be a cog in a d-mb machine, and every two weeks be reminded why it's worth it.

@j7 I sort of agree but probably not the way you hope.

I say that if you were a productive, hard working loyal employee that was forced out due to discrimination and/or leader abuse, then, yes, start a new day in becoming a sort of “activist” to and try and destroy the public image of all five large health insurance corporations (e.g., Centene, Cigna, Elevance, Humana, UHG) until they are radically diminished or gone.

It’s never too late to start doing something you find value in. We grow in and out of places our whole lives. Sounds like you’re outgrowing your current environment. Make a plan and get out!

@a9 clearly you're telling your own story. Smh.

@az @a9 - You're hilarious

@OP I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there.

@a9 your an a--hole.

Hang in there its total cr-p everywhere else in the IT world. Unless you are thinking of a change in the career field itself. I'm thinking of that as well, there are too many leeches in IT everywhere. Anyone that does actual work gets sc--wed.

@a9 I don't know your age, but you can collect social security stage 62. Good luck.
