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

Make a prediction and tell us what you think about MetLife layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Well, 2025 is almost over. It's time to revisit the 2025 predictions and make new ones for 2026. I don't really know which rule the predictions thread violated, but the original 2025 Predictions thread disappeared after being up for a really long... — read more 

That's great. Great.

Thoughts on automation. Met is pushing this forward along with offshore. I see contracts as the first casualty.

People talk over you, credit gets stolen, and kindness feels like an oddity. It drains you faster than the work itself.

Unless you’re dancing with the cobras, your job is in jeopardy. Offshoring is cheap now. But you get what you pay for. No innovation. No advancements. No improvements. There is an overall lack of understanding of US culture, well being, and best... — read more 

So the last post about ML hiring jr talent was scrubbed. Why? You get called out for purging sr talent and only hiring those with less than 4 years experience and now you're policing the forum and purging the truth?

Is it just a skill issue or is it really hard to get promoted without bullsh-tting a lot in meetings?

Leaders have started meetings this week to address cutting resources, mostly onshore, before eoy to meet 2026 budget and mgcc staffing commitments. On a similar topic, there continues to be odd conversations about consolidating into a single Cary... — read more

Things are so bad that people who used to care now just do the bare minimum to get through the day. And management is somehow shocked that productivity is dropping. Who would have thought that a toxic work environment goes hand in hand with mentally... — read more 

How do I experience MetLife? Cr-p pay raises while being told you're doing a great job.

Who is getting canned today?

GTFO before Met destroys your health.

Title says it all. Enough said.

I don't think I've ever dreaded Mondays as much as in the past few weeks. With everything that's been happening, just thinking about work gives me anxiety. I think I need a new job.

So many people are already leaving voluntarily, yet they keep talking about cuts. It’s like they don’t see the bigger picture and are just determined to make things worse. The morale has been terrible for a while, and it doesn't help that the company... — read more 

To Managers: so what happens when you receive the results of this survey from your teams? What are the next steps for you? Is it just another way for MetLife to waste money?
