This job became too stressful for me
I’m overworked and tired. My team is not well organized, and most of us are exhausted. The exhaustion from the workload is compounded by a toxic work environment. There are few of us who rely on each other and that’s how we make it through the day... — read more

Remote
Alot of big companies are making their remote employees RTO (return to office). I wonder if Centene plans on us staying remote forever (hopefully) or does anyone know if they will pull a fast one and make us also RTO. Anyone hear anything?

Centene Silently Laying Off Peope Now

Where do you look for jobs?

Three long term medical directors had to reapply for their positions. Guess what? They were let go. Such a heartless way to terminate people. Also told we cannot hire or extend temp staff.

Retaliation
Filed EEOC, E&C and an ER case then was laid off right after. Never had any issues in 10 years until just recently. Sounds like retaliation to me!! Has anyone sued and been successful?
Compliance

Pot Stirrers??
I've seen several recent posts where layoffs are mentioned and when other people ask what department, state, plan, etc... silence. Does this mean there really aren't any layoffs happening and people are just trying to stirr sh* up? Why won't anyone... — read more

Still a great place to work huh!!!??

Give me severance and I'll be happy to leave
I don't understand why Centene simply doesn't offer every single one of us a chance to volunteer for layoffs. I am beyond certain that enough people would accept to negate the need for layoffs for a long time to come. People are tired of this place... — read more
