Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

My workload has been cut and I spend most of my time training and answering questions instead 😒.

@b1
You are so very right

@ay I’ve had my PL trying to get me to “show” other teams how we process claims. Definitely not my job to train my replacements. Not sure if they found someone else to do it since I said no.

Everyone should apply for the VSP.
Every.single.person.

Let the big-wigs sort their own crazy plan of doing business out.

@aa yup, tired and wired!

I completely understand I woke up this morning from a dead sleep at 3:30 am, my day start looming. I have delayed my decision on how to proceed and wasn’t going to apply. I find myself rethinking that after the revelations regarding upcoming expectations on Friday. Coupled with the management stance of do it anyways we don’t care how. I am one person and AI will not help with the exhaustion, the member contact, the things that need to get done that require us. They can try but honestly it’s laughable. The level of out of touch management at the upper level is with their impact and how this is going to work is baffling. So I guess I need to reconsider my options while I have them. Today I will do my best to be the change for our members while waiting for the inevitable, cause some of them have no one else. I think that is what stopped me from applying to begin with, the members that wait for my monthly calls and look forward to the help and support we offer. The members that need those advocates to keep on fighting upstream. Either way they are the ones that I will be sad for at the end of the day, they’re the ones that will suffer.

0 motivation here. The worst part is upper management seems have their heads in the sand. Lots of talk about Q3 and Q4 - even next year. I finally had to respond the other day "why are you worried about that - we will be in the middle of "Project Simplify" and probably not be around (i took the VSP - that was my way of saying "well I won't be here.")

Are they expecting everyone who took the VSP just to knowledge transfer everything in 6 weeks? To who? The folks that are already overworked who are staying behind.

July and August are going to be crazy, and most of your staff won't give a care.

I think you should try as hard as you can to find work elsewhere and start doing that right now. Life is too short to work a job that makes you feel like this. What is the point of staying in this situation if you feel like this?

Stressful to say the least. All of us are in limbo not knowing if we will have a job or not. I’m preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. This won’t be over in August or September. This will be going on well into 2027.

I hear you. I thought i was the only one sleeping late or waking up early just because I am so tired of this toxic work and leadership, which is ironic since I am tired but I guess is the stress that keeps me up. I can't wait to find out what happens with that VSP thing- I need to get out.
