Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

I want them to fail because they failed me after 10 years of service!! They don’t care about anyone….I hope the company goes under….Eff them!

@k6 if you are still working and haven’t been laid off and do not like the negativity, there’s a simple solution. Don’t read this layoff site! Problem solved for you.

@k7 yea no,agree with the other poster. Nobody is buying your sh1t. And you just proved their point as nothing in your original post mentioned a positive experience, yet here you are like a pathological liar who forgets what they said beforehand acting as you did

@hy Do you really think 99% of employees at Centene have had a negative experience? I work with many that are happy. Maybe it’s the plan or department you work in. If people want to keep hating and be toxic go ahead. And if tomorrow I would be laid off oh well. That’s the way life is sometimes but I wouldn’t waste my time being bitter and angry.

@OP No real employee( former or recent) would ever pist this cr-p here.Go away

@OP You aren't fooling anybody. Literally nobody, former or current employee is coming on here to post sh like you did.

@fc its like folks are too stupid to realize that the end result would harm the member. But look at the landscape we live in...

OK Professor:

• Name the issue clearly.
For-profit entities in the United States healthcare system are the reason American Healthcare costs are the highest in the world.

High Administrative Overhead: For-profit insurers allocate a significant portion of their revenue to marketing, executive compensation, and shareholder dividends. Administrative costs in commercial insurance typically range from 15% to 30%, compared to under 3% for traditional public programs like Medicare. [1, 2]

The "Denial-of-Care" Business Model: Critics contend that insurers maximize profits by minimizing payouts, frequently using mechanisms like complex prior authorizations and AI-driven screening to delay or deny necessary medical coverage. [1, 2]

Systemic Inequity: For-profit systems tie access to care closely to employment and the ability to pay, which creates a multi-tiered system that leaves lower-income and vulnerable populations underinsured or completely uninsured. [1, 2]

• Describe the impact (who is affected and how).
Patients bear the most direct financial and physical impacts of the for-profit model:

The Underinsured: Many individuals with commercial insurance still face high deductibles, co-pays, and premiums. This leaves them vulnerable to extreme out-of-pocket costs, making medical debt a leading driver of personal insolvency.

Patients with Chronic or Complex Illnesses: Individuals requiring continuous or specialized care frequently encounter automated claim denials or lengthy prior authorization processes. Insurers maximize profit margins by minimizing payouts, which can delay or block access to life-saving operations and specialized medications.

Marginalized Communities: Because access is tied closely to the ability to pay, lower-income families and working-class communities of color are disproportionately left uninsured or underinsured, exacerbating systemic health disparities.

• Offer a path forward

1. The Single-Payer Model (Universal Coverage)
   This approach completely replaces for-profit insurers with a unified, government-administered system.

2. The Public Option (The Market-Competition Approach)
   This policy creates a government-run insurance plan to compete directly alongside private, commercial insurance carriers.

   3. Target Commercial Regulations (The Regulatory Roadmap)
   

   Rather than dismantling the existing system, this framework uses federal and state oversight to aggressively cap out-of-pocket costs and curtail corporate abuses.

Long story short: Centene needs to stop the government money grab racket. Find another line of work Id--ts!

@an I understand it’s not easy to find something else. The job market is terrible right now. But the toxic negativity is not going to change things. Everyone needs to look at this as a job not your life. Do the best you can. Come in. Do your work and leave for the day. And I know what it’s like to have a micromanager breathing down your back. You have to make an effort to disconnect. All I’m saying is to try and change the negativity by you taking action for yourself. We do not have control of the company or our leaders. But we have control of how we react and what we allow to affect us. No job is worth your mental health deteriorating for.

@f7 I never said not to share your frustration but to want the company harmed or enjoy it being harmed makes no sense to me. That’s what I notice in some of these posts.

If you love CNC then stop joining the layoff.com conversations. CNC like most companies have had plenty of ups and downs, however the way the company has managed over the last 3+ years is shameful, not only to its employees but to its members in which it serves. People should continue to come and share there experiences regarding layoffs, mismanagement, corruption, etc.! Let the conversations continue...

@OP Ah yes, how dare people who are stressed, overworked, or facing layoffs ruin your positive vibes on an anonymous message board. If you love Centene so much, maybe step away from the layoff forum instead of lecturing people who are trying to process losing their stability.

@OP you do know you’re posting on a layoff site? Not exactly a place crying out for constructive feedback. Maybe read the room.

Unfortunately people find more comfort in complaining. That’s the nature of our current and former colleagues. Hopefully they find their way into a role more suited to them.

Perhaps maybe because Centene would not hesitate for even one second to tell us we are not needed one day because of “Mission Simplify”? They wouldn’t care about any of us, why should we?

Oh, I dunno. Maybe buying into the mission statement hook, line, and sinker for years had something to do with it.

Through the endless reorgs, “pivots,” shifting priorities, and being told to keep our heads down while we worked to “transform the health of our community, one person at a time.”

For me, it was also spending years building things that worked, only to watch them get torn apart and rebuilt with different tools, different teams, or another brilliant new direction. Rarely with a meaningful explanation why. And doing it under some of the worst managers and senior leaders I’ve encountered in more than 20 years working in large enterprises.

Then watching the institutional knowledge walk out the door while the work gets handed to offshore teams and expensive consultants who’ll spend months figuring out what the people they replaced already knew.

But sure. Maybe we’re all just bitter about getting laid off. Let’s go with that. 😂

@OP enjoy your job and paycheck while those of us that lost it are trying to survive you sh-t

@OP it's because we are tired of some of the managers and leaders being two faced and mean to us. Trying to get rid of us when we are doing nothing but our best. It's because the CEO is making 19 mil a year and allowing these types of people to work here instead of allowing the ones that truly care and are actually good at their job.
She isn't trying to reach out to us to better understand our issues. Some feel torn, some overworked, emotional, (3 people have cried on my team), mentally struggling, and it's not easy just to tell them "go find something else".
We genuinely put years of heart into this place while the CEO just rubs it in our face Mission Simplify.
Shadyness going on!

@a7 It is funny you say that because I have read in the past where persons have argued that a layoff site is really for those still employed with the company that need information about potential layoffs and that the persons already let go should simply move on and stop coming on here to complain about how they were mistreated.

So, I guess a person cannot win either way.

If we were to combine both train of thoughts, nobody would be posting on this site, neither current nor past employees.

@a4 Although the forum is called Centene Layoffs most people commenting are still employed with the company. They just come on here complaining and being negative.

What else do you expect people to say on a “Layoff” website?
