There's a set schedule.
There are going to be more layoffs, a lot more restructuring, and a lot more consultants and the Corporate Clueless micromanaging stuff they don't understand. Mission Simplify is just getting started.
Bumping this from @fs+1m3a32zbw for info.
@v6 agree. I have landed a contract job but rejection for jobs I am well qualified for. It’s like I have a target on my back now. I am afraid of what my future looks like. Thanks to Centene for 5 years pi---d away if my life abs future looking pretty ruined.
@da AGREE 💯 the difference on the VSP has an extra “enhanced” pmts. I was recently apart of this round of RIF and just received my severance Had I know I would have taken the VSP or should I say “apply” to even see if you get approved for it as it was more $ added and was told the VSP would be a one time offer when no matter if you chose to take the VSP or not we all should have been honored that full amount. This is tough mentally draining applying for positions in getting rejection at rejection knowing your qualified. I pray for everyone but this company will fall for the way we were treated!
@j8 agree. It’s so so disheartening I started as a temp. Then became perm. Have almost 5 years here. It’s seriously made me ill. I don’t think I willl ever recover.
@j9 yes they did so everyone took a breath and said wow ok we are safe guys. So then tye deadline passed and then. Bo-m. Serious mind fu-k games they played.
@ae they sent that email out the day before the vsp deadline saying ONLY take it if you really want to leave. I seriously think they did that to cut costs.
@fm the security guard acted like I had the plague when I turned in my laptop and badge. It was insane. Very disappointed how everything went down. My first 5 years there were honestly great. It's crazy how bad it got. It's beyond disheartening.
@da mine too. I hung on because I needed the job and mgmt my manager told me we were secure I felt I was secure I was worthy and needed and valuable but I was cut because I think I was paid higher salary on my team because RN and lpns. So it’s all about money but I feel target too. Wish I had taken vsp held on to my dignity and said good byes instead of being abandoned and felt like I had leprosy and no good bye just gone. It’s humiliating and degrading to treated like that abs coworkers reach out and ask of you are bored and how’s the job search ? They you are harrassed by unemployment after 3 sh-t checks because you are a nurse and it’s just so fu--ing great to be alive.
My biggest regret in 2026 is not accepting that agreement
Is Centene the only company that does layoffs every quarter? I checked other big name companies layoffs board and they’re all saying the same thing. So no one is safe, but please clarify it’s not just at this company it’s all of them.
@OP seems to go along with the staggered vsp numbers as well so they had rooom to lay off sayinh not enough took it. Burn down the house.
