They are definitely try to do damage control and yes, piling on the down and upvotes to posts, depending on the content, always trying to skew it in their favor. Looks They also like to skew the numbers on the posts so they just go all gray, like what's being discussed isn't worth reading. Seems as though they're VERY concerned that the troops are not happy, and about the BOD and public's perception of how they fumbled the ball.
The propagandist got called out on a few different threads here for it, and as in this one, their standard reply is usually either to play the innocent victim game "What do you mean? I'm just a worker bee like you, here trying to encourage and help!" or they accuse the people calling them out as being, "crazy".
Example from this thread: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kwrjtmbp
"Yes, using "y'all" really fools us into believing that you are so authentic and "down home" ie. one of us, instead of who you really are. Will you be adding any more of the praying hands or sunshiney/smiley face emojis today? That worked so well for you yesterday.
We are entirely fooled...you're SO slick!
(Not)
Now be sure and keep zeroing out each post which states the truth, so you can make it appear as if what's being said "isn't important". It's an especially convincing propaganda tactic when you go overboard with it, assigning some ridiculous number such as 38 to a regular run-of-the-mill post. But your favorite is to gray it all out into nothing, so there's magically JUST as many negative points as there are positive points to a post. That way you feel as though you've "succeeded" in making it look as though what's being discussed isn't relevant or important. That's how you operate in general, isn't it? Just flatten out anything worthwhile out to nothing, until it all "goes away."
You do it with people's ideas, with people's livelihoods, and with people's health.
Gray it out, flatten the kerfluffle, actively expend energy to create a facade, pretend reality isn't what it is, obfuscate, deflect, deny.
Evil people are anti-truth.
Good people stand up for the truth, uphold it, and speak boldly on it.
You are a sick person, and your soul is dark.
Thanks be to GOD that we are not like you.

This time they're trying to discourage a mother whose baby is being delivered prematurely, that even though the VSP rep steered her wrong, saying she wouldn't qualify for the VSP if she went out on leave, that bringing a lawsuit wouldn't work because the company's team of lawyers are too powerful to go up against!
"Can’t take leave
Called VSap hotline to see if I can take maternity leave ( baby will be taken tomorrow due to preeclampsia) they say if I take any type of leave then I forfeit the right to get the VSP, it su-ks because I wasn’t planning to deliver early. I’m sure my position will be cut as well. I’m so sad. It seems so unfair.

@a4 Nobody is going to get a lawyer for something like VSP. All companies have layoffs and who can afford do hire one? Can you imagine how many lawyers Centene has and do you really think they are scared of any repercussions from the layoffs?
