I really value this company, my role, and the population I serve. This job has provided me with incredible financial opportunities that I wouldn't have found elsewhere in my field. For those who are constantly negative about the company, I encourage you to seek out a job that better suits you. While the recent uncertainty has certainly been stressful, I am very glad leadership provided clarification on the VSP. I hope for the best for everyone moving forward.

I love my job too but I believe the company thinks people are stupid to fall for that withdrawal email. It’s their way to say hey we got so many applications that we no longer have anything left for the involuntary lay off.
I like my job too! I hope everything works out! Fingers crossed. 😊
@by lmaoooooooooooo 💀
You need to check your privilege. Read the room, have some empathy.
In case any decision makers are on this thread, my name is Andy Bernard and I love my job and I especially love Centene!
Co----e is a he-l of a dr-g ..
I actually like my job! It’s crazy how people complain about transparency. Companies could easily just blindside you on a Friday afternoon with an hour's notice and a final check. It can always be worse.
That's good you love it! No shame in that at all. I really like the company too, so I'm going to see how it goes.
This is giving, Daddy hits me because he loves me.
@ac I like my job too but who told you nothing major is on the horizon?
ACA subsidies expired, premiums spiked, and insurers (including Centene) are bleeding marketplace membership and pulling out of markets (NH was announced today). Medicare Advantage is under real scrutiny from over overpayments and poorer outcomes when compared to traditional Medicare. And Medicaid work requirements are rolling out nationally by 2027, expected to knock millions off coverage through paperwork alone (not actual ineligibility).
Whoever told you nothing big was happening either stuck their head in the sand or was simply trying to calm your anxiety.
This literally all we talk about on my team….and it’s all over the news and industry/trade magazines.
@ag so much this!! I’m happy that you have something lined up.
I was told I wasn’t qualified for a job I was already doing so I understand how you feel. it’s very discouraging, especially when you know you’re capable.
I also want to grow within the organization, but I think now may not be the time. I’m choosing to exit, breathe for a second, get some other experience and possibly come back. BIG ON POSSIBLY.
remote work is hard to find these days and I truly do believe in the overall mission of the organization.
@OP b*tch would you like a cookie?
I truly enjoy working for this company, but I’m discouraged by my current role. I’ve applied for 15 internal positions and have been denied for every one of them. As a registered nurse with a master’s degree, it’s difficult to understand how I’m consistently being told I’m not qualified. It’s especially frustrating to see LPN positions within the company earning more than supervisors. I’m committed to growing within this organization, but I’m struggling to understand what qualifications or experience I’m missing.
At this point, it feels like the decisions have already been made, and the outcome is predetermined. It often seems that workplace politics carry more weight than dedication and hard work. If that’s the case, I’d rather sign the paperwork and move forward. Fortunately, I already have another opportunity waiting, and I’m prepared for the next chapter. I’m simply hoping that if I’m notified on July 15, my final day will be July 16 so I can begin that transition.
12 years with this company, meeting all goals and production. Never having the opportunity for growth.
It’s time to peace out. I signed on the dotted line day 1. Please tell me my last day, PLEASE!
A piece of advice: Always remember that your well-being should come first. No matter how hard you work or how dedicated you are, organizations will make business decisions that may not reflect your loyalty or contributions. In some cases, experienced employees are replaced with less experienced staff at lower salaries as part of cost-saving measures.
Leadership will continue to make decisions they believe are best for the organization, whether that’s investing in large meetings, executive initiatives, or other priorities. That’s the reality of corporate business.
If you have an opportunity to move on to something better, don’t be afraid to take it. Prioritize your career, your family, and your mental health. At the end of the day, no job is worth sacrificing your peace of mind.
TEAM VSP 100%!!!
Damn, sounds like all ya’ll had a tough day at the office. Someone said they like the company and there role and ya’ll got mad! LOL!
@ab please note the entire situation is not about whether people like their jobs or not. It has to do with a company being in financial distress.That is quite obviously the catalyst for distress of the staff, whether they had hoped to stay or not, and the handling of this program has created a bigger mess. Not everyone can afford to take the risk of waiting around to see if they get laid off!
I get that everyone is stressed about the VSP and the future, but we have to remember that life has no guarantees—even your next job isn't 100% secure. When someone brings positive energy to the post it's frustrating to see it get shot down. Sometimes, being in the same role too long makes us overly cynical. Stop stressing over what we can't control and just make sure you always have a backup plan in case you get laid off.
I really like my job too! But I'm feeling so upset with everything! Who's telling the truth—Centene or what the media is reporting? I want to believe they’re being honest and that nothing major is on the horizon. However, the way they’re handling the Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) feels like they’re making people second-guess their decisions about accepting it. It seems like they might be deterring people from taking the VSP, possibly knowing something is coming—like getting less severance when the real layoffs happen. That feels really wrong! Just evil!
@OPIt is common for people to remain in roles they dislike out of comfort. Hopefully, the VSP will move them out there comfort zone. I truly hope the majority of the teams get to keep their jobs.
@a9 I couldn't agree more. It was all about them covering their as--s. I'm out as well after ten years!!!!!
I like my job too, however this whole situation is some bullsh-t. I’m out.
@OP That is so good for you! I'm sure there will be many VSP withdrawals since changing jobs is so daunting. A lot of people stay in jobs they hate simply because the job hunt is so hard, so I really hope everyone gets to keep their job that wants to stay! God Bless!
@a4 Could your PR psyop be any more obvious?
Hi PR/Marketing bish!
:::: waves ::::
Tough day at the office for ya today, dear?
@OP - surely your post is sarcasm. Otherwise you are on the wrong website. This one is for people concerned about layoffs. The email clarified nothing. Good grief.
@OP Honestly, you can't be mad at that! It's so awesome to see people who are genuinely happy where they work! 😊
@OP Bless ya heart
Lord have mercy
LOL
