dev and qa on the way out..comp still trying to organized the reorg...

The worst of it is choice is either the Business System Analyst work that you are not actually supposed to be doing or no work at all. You tell me you will go around asking for a review?

In addition to that, I had to spend most of my time calming a kid because he wants to be a "developer" who doesn't really code. Should have signed up a daycare instead of JH.

I never was given any assignment directly. A business analyst gave me his work to do, and I never figured out why I was doing on his work.

Dude, by the sounds of it you deserved to be fired. You are gunna lay back and take no reviews for 2 years? What an idiot. Did you ever get a bonus? Did you ever get the details of your bonus. It's all right there buddy. You had ample opportunity to... — read more 

Did this happen to anyone? Does anyone know if people could submit our performance reviews without us seeing it? I worked for JH for about 2 years but never received any performance review. I lost my job before my second year tenure, but all this... — read more 

The multiple names in a box for each role to make sure the best talent is retained is a myth. Look you leaders in the eye and ask them if they believe the words they say about the process of who stays and who goes. It is not about "the best person"... — read more 

I personally received my termination notice from Manulife and my ROE stated "shortage of work"....that's a layoff! Back in early 2013 Paul Lorentz and Donna Carbell stood in front of theirs leaders and said that the reorganization was to make a... — read more 

A job is what you make it. We have seen none of the "doom and gloom" layoffs etc. Even the few who were made redundant last year were (for the most part) people who either wanted to go or should be going. Moral is just fine in the area where I work... — read more 

I think it might be time for a employee satisfaction survey. Let's see what the pulse is. From what I hear, the moral is so low, it's become just a place with a pay check attached.

Not happening. Never happened. Delusional fools were posting here.

Welcome to the world of Elmer Fudd. Stumbling bumbling fools remain. People tiptoeing around hoping not to be the next one on the block. Be wary wary qwiet.

We have all been annoyed by the small pebbles and stones that get lodged in the soles of our shoes. They crunch, grind and make odd sounds on solid surfaces. Now imgaine that each of those pebbles and stones are micro universes. Each with their own... — read more 

There were people who lost their jobs in October and november. The changes look like they are going to continue for the next little while.Such a shame that manulife is going to lose such good people. You gotta wonder what the criteria is for being... — read more 

@818 - Well written, clueless, but well written? I'd bet you are managing a large group somewhere in the Philipines, so from your point of view your statements might somewhat make sense. Yet, once you and your 4000 folks get farewell notes and work... — read more 

Thank you for proffering a simplistic explanation of an emotionally complex issue at Manulife. The process of determining who gets to work and who doesn't has nothing to do with abilities. It has all to do with relationships and politics. I should... — read more 

No layoffs but resources were re-allocated and some resources were given and end date where no further money would be paid to them by the company. No offshoring but resources were provided jobs at the company's global office in China and Philippines... — read more 

The only firing is the gun that is aimed at the merciful sheep that are blindly grazing on the green known as Manulife. These quiet lambs go blindly about their business. Eating, pooping and naying the day away. Oblivious to the ruthless deceit... — read more 

Somebody's head is so far up, they are unable to see. How do you actually perform your job at Manulife? when you keep saying there are no layoffs? I hope that is a sarcastic comment, or maybe what you are trying to say is, there are no layoffs... — read more 

If you have been fired, are about to be fired, or just curious what it might be to be fired by Manulife then you should download the Severance Calculator app for iphone. This app was written by a Toronto law firm and will do a rough calculation of... — read more 

There are no more layoffs. There weren't any layoffs. Ever! Manulife never lays off staff. They are a proud Canadian company and proudly hire and retain Canadian employees. There has been an edict from the top that prevents any offshoring of any... — read more 

@"layoffs continue , Wednesday 11/06/13 00:48:41" - who got laid off? What dpts got affected?

there has been several layoffs in the last two weeks so the re-org is still not over.

This is all very annoying. If you read this site you will see that there are only a couple of people posting things here. The one that stands out most is the guy who talks about Armani suits and things be better under the sun. It is pretty wyld don't... — read more 

You all must be hanging out with Rob Ford and sharing his pipe. As other poster said there are no layoffs. It is wild that someone keeps posting about frontline IT staff. This has been said for months and yet no layoffs. You are all smokin crack.

Its terrible that management is getting rid of good and qualified people. They are keeping people who clearly are not performing. Shame on you Manulife, you are ruining people's lives.

Just wait and see....front line staff are next. So if you're in QA or Development in the IT depts, watch your back! Better yet, start looking for a different role either within Manulife or outside. All testing and Dev will be off-shored. All pilars... — read more

Listen. I do work here and there are no layoffs! Where are the layoffs and offshoring that the poster was saying were happening. They are not. They have not. And they never will happen!! Never I say!!! We must stop these lies now. Manulife does not... — read more 

To the poster that said there are no layoffs at Manulife, clearly you do not work at Manulife. If you do, your head is too far up somebody's...so it's difficult for you to see what's going on..

Have you ever eaten a raw onion? I have and it is not pleasant. Kind of like working at Manulife.

There are no more layoffs. There weren't any layoffs. Ever! Manulife never lays off staff. They are a proud Canadian company and proudly hire and retain Canadian employees. There has been an edict from the top that prevents any offshoring of any... — read more 

HI. I hear there are rumours of more layoffs. Is this true? There are so many gaps that need to be filled and to think there will be more layoffs is so outrageous. Does anyone know?

Can't wait to see what this has to do with Manulife.

"Ohhh Oscar" purred Sharon. "You are so big?". As the lights brighten Sharon could now see just how big Oscar was. His enormity was unlike anything or anyone she had seen before. She gasped. And moaned. And let out a sigh of dispair. She could now... — read more 

The lights were dimmed when Oscar entered the room. Sharon's eyes had already adjusted to the light as the hulking figured wlaked toward her. She felt an odd flutter ripple throughout her lithe body. Oscar sat down and introduced himself. Zipppppppp... — read more 

It's really becoming brighter under to Sun. All the good ones tossed out by Manu will enjoy the Sun

I am really enjoying how the Manulife Saga is unfolding.
