Word on street is Warwick is giving up lease to Fidelity soon. Any news on this?

I haven't been promoted in the four years I've been here, I have a medical treatment being paid for by insurance that I need to stay on for now. I see low upward mobility is often mentioned as a negative of working at MetLife, and the feedback I get... — read more 

Has anyone suffered consequences for writing something critical in the comment boxes?

Oof, almost 4.5% in 1 day. Time for some layoffs and buybacks!

Pretty quiet around here. Has there been any new controversy or drama in the ML world lately? Is the "naidnI".reverse() takeover complete yet?

What’s with them spamming ads on Instagram and Facebook nowadays about a lot of things? Just curious

How many of you are actually honest on the survey? Every year the SLT says scores are great, people are happy, etc. Which does not line up with anecdotal info from most in GCSO.

I've seen the police car each time I'm at the office in Cary. I've heard that it's there when there are layoffs. Is this true? How come it's always parked there?

We’re basically being told on the downlow by our managers that “they” can see how often we’re using CoPilot (AI). They forced it into our performance goals. So if we don’t use AI enough (no, “enough” has not been clearly defined of course), we won’t... — read more 

Does anybody know what's being planned for October?

Doesn't fix the offshore problem, but this is a start! https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/25/2026-17324/fee-for-certain-h-1b-petitions

Our SLT is just so damn good at mandating the people who ACTUALLY DO THE WORK attend repetitive meetings. Apparently it's not enough to have the CEO, CFO, HR head, various EVPs pat themselves on the back for all of the wonderful things they do to... — read more 

A crummier company led by cynical, gaslighting people who worry more about "shareholder value" (and value of their stock holdings) than the financial and mental well-being of their employees.

where did RM (Global Head of Technology Infrastructure) went?

The employees with years of knowledge are expected to solve every problem, train new people, and keep everything moving, yet they're constantly overlooked. Meanwhile, management seems to get rewarded regardless of whether they actually understand the... — read more 

Who will be the next CEO? If the board lets Khalaf stay until 65 or if they cut him, they need a successor, stat.

Roberta R takes the helm, Jess G. out. The rest of the team looks “safe”. Wonder what other units consolidated in the next few months.

Feel free to contribute. Just give a simple answer to the question. I'm trying to see if there's a trend. For those of you laid of from ML, say whether or not you ended up in a better or worse employment situation afterwards.

On LTL they said something about a big AI announcement coming in September. Anyone know what it could be?

MK post about the World Cup. Wanted to be a soccer player but life took different path. But the game taught him the importance of teamwork, adapting to new environments and staying focused. Wonder if any rank & file will be invited to the final at... — read more 

Today, I’m sharing a deeply personal experience because mental health in the workplace deserves more attention, understanding, and protection. Over the past year, I have struggled with severe depression, anxiety, and panic attacks while navigating a... — read more 

How close are they to the dream of everyone below certain levels being replaced by AI or completely replaced via labor arbitrage? A rough % is enough.

I feel like Met is constantly hitting us up for lobbyist money. Give me a stock purchase plan and then maybe I'll give you PAC money.

What do you all think is the future of Dental and Disability products? Have heard about old, clunky legacy systems that are complicated/messy, negative impacts of offshoring, disorganized teams, etc. Those are core products within USB and worried... — read more 

https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/was-amazons-tokenmaxxing-fiasco-behind-claudes-500m-mystery-bill That's great. That's great. Seems like the sort of thing that could happen at MetLife as they try to measure who is "doing" AI.

They're leaving in droves now before it gets worse. Which is hard to imagine. Better get while the gettin's good folks.

Make your predictions for the rest of 2026 / early 2027 here.

We’re all getting hit with the same weekly barrage. This isn’t shared responsibility, they’re offloading theirs onto us. The nonstop AI push is conditioning so no one pushes back when the PIPs start, because PIPs are cheaper than severances... — read more 

The pay increases lately don’t match how expensive everything else has become. Not that anybody at the top gives a damn, as long as their bonuses keep getting larger.

I've heard about layoffs in GTO, HR, and USB. Where else are people getting chopped this month? Mother Met needs her sweet sweet stock buybacks.

They cut two people from my team months ago and gave me their work. So now I'm carrying three roles. I've stopped caring about deadlines. I do what I can and the rest waits. If something is late, that's their problem now.

Expect onshore, both FTE and Consultant, reductions now through June. Many TCS resources will be exchanged for MGCC employees. FTEs will be reduced through team consolidations. You will start to see movement soon.

I received a 1% raise. The lowest raise I have received in my entire career. My performance review was great. Is this normal for everyone else or do they want people to leave voluntarily?

Look MetLife, here's the deal. I do the job you asked, you pay me. You DON'T get my soul! Quoted from MetLife announcement: "56% of employees are staying put out of necessity as financial and job pressures escalate NEW YORK, N.Y., February 18... — read more 

So NN the new CIO says he's doubling down. That means for all the ones who have lengthy careers, we're out. Get your resume ready because he's going to flush the whole lot. Wonder how long it'll take the shadow ops team to pull this one down.

Just got mail from MetLife announcing "important updates to your MetLife 401(k) plan". #1 New Target-Date funds. Balance fund going away. Ok fine. #2 Access to Retirement Planning and Advice. Anybody have details on this? I couldn't find in the... — read more 

It’s not looking good for TCS. Plan A is moving to cheaper alternatives that better align with the mgcc workforce once the current TCS contract expires. Get ready for another round of knowledge and talent loss.

All of senior management. That’s why they are outsourcing
