Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

On Outsourcing

"Outsourcing to AI is the same bright idea as offshoring work to China / India...etc. (I am not sh-----g on Chinese, Indians...etc. I know people need work and are paid peanuts).

Outsourcing leaves countries without skilled workforce, technology, R&D, continuous progress, trained people, people who can train juniors to seniors...etc. You name it.

Then the price gets hiked up.

In a couple of years, those same id--ts who fu---d the whole training and working process up are the same id--ts who will cry for not being able to find people who will do the work." -Morden013

@cs - If they choose to focus on profits: Centene can use "fiduciary duty to shareholders" as a convenient shield or justification for outsourcing.

If they choose to focus on stakeholders: They are legally protected if they decide to invest heavily in regulatory compliance, employee benefits, or local infrastructure, provided they can frame it as a benefit to the company's ultimate viability.

Issue is with corporate incentive becoming tied to short term gains. It’s not what’s best, it’s what’s easiest to get the quick win and make the $.

@cs The only problem with that “philosophy,” which as an aside is not really a philosophy but rather is a cover for moral deficiency, the problem is every single member of the human race will age and continue to physically decline until they are buried.

As they decline, all, including the ultra rich, will re-evaluate what really is important in one’s life. And it will not be all the toys and self-gratification, wealth and greed, that will mean the most. In fact, most will self-loathe all of their material objects and even more so the decisions they personally made to get there.

Human life is much much more than the power and the accumulation of wealth. I fear that some that have entered our country to work but not yet citizens have only increased this “movement” or “philosophy” of greed and hunger for power to the extent that that is put above human concern, empathy, and what it means to watch out for your human “brother.”

In fact, as a military veteran, I have personally even seen a lack of concern and live for our military veterans.

I am very ashamed and disgusted by these for-profit health insurance corporations. And if somehow I can be used in helping destroy their public image, I will count it an honor of at least one good act I will have done in my relative insignificant life.

If outsourcing increases profits and shareholders dividends, then don't except any changes. Centene is not an altruistic company, it exists to make profits for its shareholders.
