People give it their all and then some to get where they are and what do they get for that? Nothing but mistreatment. People are used and stepped all over only to be dismissed when they're deemed to make too much (which in itself is ridiculous... — read more 

The biggest mistake I made was when I left my previous job and accepted the offer here. The culture is terrible. I don't believe that there are many companies where communication is so bad with so little encouragement or motivation coming from our... — read more 

Interviewed last week for a position outside of Met similar to what I'm doing now. Starting pay is $60k more than my Met pay. Don't be afraid to put your resume out there and see what happens.

Just wondering....

Do the questions on Let's Talk Live seem fake? They do to me. Like plants or pre-staged so they can yammer on about what they want to. I don't think I've seen one pointed question since that one a long time ago that got Michel a bit hot under the... — read more 

Like Starbucks ees in upstate NY. Those ees must be exhausted from working with primitive technology and feeling beat up by clients and a company the has ignored their grievances and proposed solutions for decades. Maybe the AFL-CIO could help... — read more

When I first started working from home, it was immediately clear to me that this could not last forever, but that one day we would have to return to the office. Did anyone think that working from home would become permanent? So I don't care when... — read more

When we return to the office in January, the company will be monitoring employees to make sure they sign in 3 days a week as well as the times people are coming and going. What happened to flexibilty in RTO?

Due to the large number of Toadies at MetLife, Toadies Anonymous is forming a new chapter, just for MetLife. You may want to join: If you ever "liked" an article about mandatory training If you ever regurgitated a MetLife Home Page article in a... — read more 

Obviously we are... If this company wants to keep employees, I think eventually they will have to pay more. Top dogs will not be able to remain so greedy, at the expense of their employees. That time is slowly passing. No one wants to feel like a... — read more

There is no point in further endangering the lives of employees who are certainly much more productive while working in a better atmosphere, that is, when they are not in the office. Are there any insights into possibility of RTO being delayed?... — read more 

Vaccinated can get and spread it. All should where masks. All should test weekly.

It appears Metlife is making their own RTO rules. The general counsel and black leather jacket’s letter cited OSHA. As someone else wrote, OSHA doesn’t apply because of lawsuits. In true MetLife form…they got it wrong!!! Lol! “ The Occupational... — read more 

If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any MetLife layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Time to leave

Anyone else having fun filling out this cr-p? $20 says they never mention the results on LTL.

Planning the next phase of their purpose at employees expense. How’s that 1.5%? And not 1 mention of all the reorganization and layoffs by CEO at his monthly infomercial broadcast.

I know GOSC lost a lot of people this most recent round of layoffs. Anyone know if the Cary campus is going to get hit in the Q4 round?

Dusting off my resume this weekend. Where did you go?

I swear every day in my part of GTO another one bites the dust. Fidelity and Credit Suisse are recruiting hard in RTP right now.

Welcome to Q4 2021. What do you hear? What do you know?

There’s been a lot of commentary from the EG about respecting normal business hours, with scheduling meetings and expecting deliverables… but the CFO has set a town hall meeting for 730am eastern. I’m not sure how having everyone signing on by 715... — read more 

LATAM hit now. EMEA Q4.

I'm vaccinated and just looking forward to the anti-vaxxer tears. How about you? I'm honestly hoping this will cause a bunch of middle/senior management to retire.

Just look at our stock, it's been going down consistently in the last week. We also lost in court yesterday, which makes me even happier. Those are the kinds of things that can get the upper management in trouble and even if it could affect me as... — read more 

Personally I don't think October is happening. My best guess is Jan 3rd will be announced soon. What's your best guess or why do you think October will stick?

A step in the right direction. Wonder what bonuses will look like this time.

How can the management announce it expects to see record sales this year a day after cutting more people? Talk about being tone-deaf. This creates a really dangerous precedent as well. If they're willing to cut people at a time when business is going... — read more 

Can somebody please share the details of their severance package from the latest layoff?

Does anyone know which areas and locations got hit with a layoff? Was it Human Resources? Was Human Resources outsourced?
