It’s about trust! Coming up next…RIFs!

Isn’t it ironic that a health insurance corporation fails to provide the best health insurance coverage for its employees? Found this gem in one of the older threads and I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. This is 100% correct. We're supposed... — read more 

I heard a couple of big names / leaders impacted this week. Any ideas on total impact?

Some of the choices coming from management are genuinely hard to understand. I've worked in this industry for years and I've never felt this disconnected from the people making the decisions.

Anyone else find it despicable they are cutting our healthcare coverage claiming to be working to lower the cost of healthcare? We don’t have the best as it is, and this is an insurance company!

There are plenty of opportunities here if you count favoritism, being used, and watching other people get ahead. Leadership can lie or retaliate and somehow never seems to face any consequences.

Anyone else area focused on having all employees fill in trackers for production and what is being worked on daily and what lines of business you support? Seems we have been sent a handful of report trackers to fill out over past month or two…..

So for the past month, I have started wearing "blue" glasses - I can see but you can't see my eyes. It allows me to go into the office and never have to look at anyone while appearing that I am and when I am on camera I can do the same - why you... — read more

So, I was curious how my pay has changed in “real” (adjusted for inflation) terms over the years. Turns out I peaked in 2021, in spite of being promoted in 2022. In fact, I’m make less today than I was in 2018. I’d encourage everyone to look at... — read more
