The leaders on this board covering up the poor decisions being made over the past two to three years is epic...right now you are neck in neck with workers that are viewing this board, thumbing up or down!
When the cuts start there won't be enough of you to quell the wave of anger!
Enjoy things for now :-)
I’m worried sick about the possibility of having to find another job in this economy. It took me a long time to find this one. Meanwhile, unemployment benefits haven’t kept pace with the cost of living hi in decades.
Too often, decisions made far from the front lines have consequences for the people doing the work and the vulnerable people who depend on it. Right now, a lot of us are just hoping our hard work, experience, and dedication still matter.
@a2 This is a classic strawman argument. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism directed at Centene's leadership, the focus is shifted to how the criticism is being expressed.
The original poster is essentially being told that their concerns are invalid because they aren't being communicated in the "proper" way. Meanwhile, the actual issues being raised about leadership decisions are conveniently ignored. Doesn't this sound exactly like the Centene culture? The tone matters not this issue itself! Typical!
What's even more amusing is the possibility that some of the strongest defenders of leadership on this board may be the very people responsible for those decisions—or individuals whose primary contribution seems to be downvoting comments they disagree with and offering weak counterarguments rather than engaging with the criticism itself.
If the goal is an honest discussion, then address the concerns being raised. Debating the tone while avoiding the substance is just a distraction. But really what else can we expect from Centene leadership it's what you all do best from the top down with very few exceptions!
This is worth pausing on, not because of the point being made, but because of how it's being made.
"Just wait until the cuts come" isn't an argument. It's a countdown. And framing a wave of employee anger as something to we-ponize against people who disagree with you in a forum says more about where your head is than anything happening in this company.
If leadership has made genuinely poor decisions over the past few years, make that case. Name them. Walk through the data. Connect the dots. That's a conversation worth having and one that might actually matter to someone reading this.
What doesn't matter to anyone, including the people you're trying to convince, is a vague threat about thumbs up counts and what's coming.
The people who actually influence outcomes in situations like this are the ones who show up with receipts, not a timer.
