Did you get the email for equipment return? I've seen posts in here talking about how to send equipment back. If you talked to IT are they telling you to send back the dual monitors. I need to get this out of my house 🏠 😩. I

They've already indicated to you via the size of the box sent, that all they expect to receive back from you is the laptop.
So just send that back, and nothing else.
It's not worth it to them to deal with the cost of paying for shipping/receiving back a bunch of heavy/bulky monitors, then paying IT depts. to sort/inventory and find space to store all of that on their end. The laptop is the "brain" of the operation, and the only item that is of any value to them. Everything else is deemed as being outmoded and superfluous e-waste which they're not interested in dealing with!
Common sense.
"Keep the cannoli."
Received the email and got the FedEx return labels but the box they sent will only allow me to ship my laptop. In the past when employees sent their equipment back they received a box or boxes to fit all of it in. Just another thing Centene is making the former employee do by them having to purchase a large box and additional shipping!
I have not received any emails from Centene either for my severance or the equipment. Any ideas the ETA on the severance?
@c9 ww didn't get a laptop bag we were completely at home so laptop, dual monitors, docking station
I have not received the email yet.
@bh yes. I could not get the janky a-s link to work so I sent them an email said if you want tye sh-t send me a box and label. They did and I had fed ex pick up. POS 5 year old janky a-s laptop.
I take it you don't need to return the laptop bag?
From people who have left the company in previous years, they typically aren't asked to send peripherals back to the company. I don't think it's worth the cost of shipping for a 5-year old monitor or whatever. If you don't want it, could you give it to someone in your community who might be able to use it? I've posted equipment for free on NextDoor, FB Marketplace, Craigslist, etc. in the past and always get a bunch of interest real fast.
@OP here is the response I just received from IT when I emailed them:
We don’t have a list of everything provided. I can say that the laptop(s) are most important. If you do miss any equipment, it’s okay. The laptop(s) is the main item we need back.
Good call.
Keep the docking station, too.
It's nice to have a home office setup.
Never know...your next job just might be F/T remote!
I sent everything back. I have no use for them.
@OP I returned everything. I am also a minimalist, so there's that.
@OP Send it all back. Yes they want it.
@OP I received the email but am only sending back what’s on the list they sent. Monitors and keyboards aren’t on the list. Maybe they don’t want them back because they’re outdated? Not sure but I think if they did want them they’d have added them to the list.
@OP I haven't received my equipment return email either.
