Is anyone else feeling the squeeze in CA?

Saw the new WARN notice drop for the June 27th layoffs. Only 10 people this time, but it feels like death by a thousand cuts. Every single month it’s just a new round of 'right-sizing' or 'operational improvements.' I’ve been with Centene for a few years now and the culture has shifted from us actually caring about member outcomes to just hitting these arbitrary efficiency metrics before the next earnings call. Honestly, it’s exhausting waiting for the next calendar invite that shouldn’t be there. Is everyone else’s team being told to do more with less, or is my department just a target? I’m seriously starting to look elsewhere because the anxiety of not knowing if I’m in the next 10 is killing my focus.

I totally get where you're coming from. It used to feel like we were doing meaningful work, but now it’s just a constant scramble to hit KPIs so the higher-ups can satisfy Wall Street. That looming fear before every meeting invite is draining the life out of the office. It’s hard to stay motivated when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder wondering if you’re the next one on the chopping block for the sake of 'efficiency.'

Honestly, the constant right-sizing is getting ridiculous. At this point, nobody is surprised when another WARN notice hits because the expectation of stability has been gone for a long time. They talk about operational improvements, but it really feels like they are just stripping the departments down to the bare bones. It’s impossible to focus on quality member outcomes when everyone is just trying to survive the next round of cuts.
