Apple has offered to lease another or both remaining buildings (1 & 2). The surprise part is that we are yet to respond to that offer. They didn’t rule it out, yet anyway. With the new tech center moving to India, the need for a triangle presence and... — read more
COVID spreading in offices
COVID spreading everywhere including metlife offices. For the safety of your employees, please have people work from home. It is not safe yet. You say you care but your actions contradict your statements. It won't be funny when someone gets very... — read more
Is recruiting backlogged or is nobody applying?
We've had a GTO position open for 4 months now. We've been getting really frustrated that we get no resumes and our HRBP doesn't seem to know why. It's not a niche position so I would have thought we'd have at least one qualified person apply by now. — read more
I feel ashamed that I am still here
I still haven't received an acceptable new offer, although lately I've been putting a lot of energy into getting out of here. I am happy for some colleagues who left, but on the other hand, after their departure the work here became even more... — read more
Salaries
This company is financially oppressive. 3 salary bands. And most of you aren’t even being paid in the mid salary range. 10 years with the company and I’m not even in the middle range! Looking at jobs outside of Met I’m sure to be paid at least 20k... — read more

In 2-3 years
Mass US layoffs and site closures coming in 1-3 years as New global tech center in India is established. This will reduce cost by moving many FTE positions offshore. They’ll start off slow next year and ramp up as that new site is established in 2-3... — read more

Quiet Plinking
You know, I read these posts about Work From Home and Return to Office and COVID and the toxic work environment and posts from people who found better jobs. But, I just wanted to point out, that MetLife is quietly terminating people 1 and 2 at a... — read more
I miss WFH
I didn't think I would but I do. I thought it was just about getting used to the office again, but it's not. It's getting used to getting up earlier, being stuck in traffic, eating cr---y food, having so many distractions while working, and so many... — read more
COVID at offices
I was told there are multiple covid cases in at least one of the buildings and the cases are not being reported to others who may have come in contact with them. This is beyond irresponsible and puts lives at risk.
Nobody Cares - 85% Living For The Weekend

RTO? How was it for you ?
Can't believe not one post about RTO and how it went?
I like RTO
Ever since I got back to the office, I’ve been working a lot less. I start on time and finish on time ... not a minute longer. I didn't even bother counting overtime hours from home, there were too many. So, in that sense, I think most enjoy going... — read more
Leaving MetLife After 10+ years
The time to jump ship is now! From their bungling of "Future Work" and Return To Office, to firing anyone in Leadership who isn't a bobbleheaded rubber stamper, to unrealistic expectations and for anyone still in the dark about the drastic wage... — read more

RTO puts employees in danger and MetLife is putting people's lives at risk. It will become a Human Resources nightmare for the company soon. COVID wave expected to hit the US as Omicron subvariant and patchy vaccination rates drive surge in... — read more
overwhelming support for RTO indeed
"In a tight labor market, where there are 11 million open jobs, employers demanding a return to the office may find themselves short on the kind of diverse workers they all say they want to hire. They’ll also lose the many workers who reevaluated... — read more
Two weeks to go. Predict what they will say you should be doing.
Or tell us what you actually are doing. (including "nothing"). Find lunch bag. Find employee id. Inventory home office supplies so that I can replenish from corporate.
Chaos all around
In my 14 years at MetLife I have never experienced such chaos from every level on every topic. The company has gone mad and has brewed up a very toxic RTO atmosphere. Vendor changes, office closures, eliminating one org, growing another, never... — read more
Anyone?
Is anyone concern to go In office 8 hours a day and be around people who will not be wearing mask / vaccinated or y’all just not concern about Covid anymore?

Metlife is a terrible mess
I have never worked in a more disorganized company than Metlife. Everything here is one big mess. Everything has to be difficult for the employee because managers don't want it to be easy. I no longer believe there is anything that could fix this... — read more

Heavy workload
I'm on the verge of leaving. I don’t believe there are many more people who could last very long here with such a load. Have you ever had a bigger workload than now?

Mask Voluntary
Mask are now voluntary for those currently volunteer so I assume when it’s rto on March 28th, it will be as well. So no required vaccination and no mask. What are your thoughts.
Why are some units privileged?
This company wants me in the office (although I can work from home perfectly well and without any problems), while some units are fully remote. Does anyone understand the reason behind this? I mean, OK, I've worked in the office before and I'll... — read more
