I don't want to be "that guy," but I'm really struggling to understand the rationale behind the VSP approach. IMO, this has been a massive failure in execution so far, given the number of challenges people have had just trying to access information... — read more

Is the VSP in lieu of salary until September 1st or would we receive salary and the VSP offer kicks in at sept 1st?

Feels like Centene has been trying to outsource a lot of work lately. Does anyone know if that actively happening?

Just type the website address to your home computer and the codes will work instantly. This only appears to be a problem with Centene equipment.

Curious whether this week’s announcement felt completely out of the blue for most teams, or if others have already been seeing changes over the last 6–12 months (leadership departures, consultant involvement, role reviews, org changes, layoffs... — read more 

Dont comment to say everyone will be hit. Comment your insider details on what you have heard so far. My PL and their director claim to have no clue and promise to be transparent. Someone has to know something.

Centene is an awesome company to work for.

One of the best leaders this entire company has left and they just announced her leaving with little to no detail. Remains to be seen but she had the highest character I had seen in a leader so I am sure she stood up to the wrong person in the... — read more 

Why are some people getting more weeks of severance in the same position - same team - with the same years than others?

I work in customer service and will be starting a new role in authorizations. I wonder if I'm safe.

What’s the talk around here? I’m working remote so hard to gauge what’s going on in other departments here. Been here for more than 5 years.

By now, is it clear what criteria was used to determine who'd get the VSP offer?

I had to register for the voluntary separation program, I put my number and email correctly. 2 hours later I am getting codes that I have requested. Do not call the number they provided. 1 hour and 18 minutes later they sent me to voicemail. Just an... — read more 

Does anyone know or heard a number on how much Centene is trying to downsize? Ive seen articles but they are very hush hush about the target number... only that our membership has decreased by 6%.

After reading the VSP offer, details & information and the FAQs, these are the questions I have for leadership. Please feel free to add to the list: Can employees review the Separation Agreement before making a final decision? We’re being asked to... — read more 

Has anyone heard from their leadership regarding all this? Ours has been radio silent since the announcement email from Sarah came out. Has anyone received ANY additional information from their leadership team? I guess I expected a quick meeting... — read more 

This is honestly hilarious, Centene can not even fire us correctly... The website wont give verification codes. We are in the dark for hours, Cryptic emails. Every leader is radio flipping silent. For a company I loved to work for and with, this... — read more 

Is it standard practice that some "applications" may be denied? As in, you could accept the VSP terms only to be rejected anyway? My manager made our team aware of this possibility without coming right out and saying it. He said "not everyone will... — read more 

And what department do you work in?

I got the email, but the phone lines are extremely busy. I was hung up on after over an hour of waiting. What a mess.

Wondering if different plans getting different information. Town hall for Fidelis today

I’ve been here a year and a half no email yet…

I feel like crying. I really wanted this option. Fu-k my life.

Is anyone having trouble getting in to their account to see the VSP offer? It’s not sending the verification code to my email no matter how many times I resend.

Does anyone know who would be laid off from this restructuring the company is going to go through?

Idk why no one read or listened to the “London Calling” episode…. VSP offers expire 7/1. They’ll base the number of the layoff based on how many people took VSP’s. Everyone who is gonna be laid off will be notified by the beginning of August. Emails... — read more

No email yet. Does that mean I’m safe? Are emails being rolled out thru the day? I’m mid age, 4-5 years in, and nobody special so wondering why I’m ineligible if that’s the case.

Will all employees receive an email today, stating whether they're eligible or ineligible? Or will it only be going to those who are eligible?

Anyone know?

Do we know if the emails will be sent throughout the day?
