Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

I’m just a little surprised about how many didn’t see this coming

Publicly traded company that relies solely on government health programs to make money. Trump administration has been moving to gut those programs membership over the last year and a half. Majority remote workforce viewed by leadership as expendable and easy to cut loose. Shareholders demand AI implementation. I really am sorry to people who will lose their jobs but…this all seems very obvious in hindsight doesn’t it?

It's incredibly tough for the people affected, but your breakdown is exactly right. A company relying entirely on volatile government funding with an outsourced, remote structure is built on a house of cards. When shareholders demand AI integration, human headcount is always the first thing leadership cuts to save the margin

They can want all they’d like. My observations: the data isn’t ready for AI, and the company, writ large, isn’t either.

AI is only as good as the data behind it.

as soon as Mission Simplify was announced, I already knew what time it was.

the only thing I’m shocked about is the VSP offering, not the layoffs themselves.
