So how many times do these "leaders" on the Bill Pappas call want to call their teams "small but mighty" as if thats a good thing. I heard it from others not on this call in the past. Its just code for "sh-t we fired so many people so this team is... — read more 

I know of two who left in as many weeks. I'm guessing they know something we don't, because who'd be crazy enough to leave a job where they do nothing all day but yell at employees and get paid to do it? If you need extra proof that things are going... — read more 

Judging by the frantic updates I've been getting from my manager in recent weeks, it feels like 15% maybe 20% of people are gone from a year ago. And HR has been useless at processing offers in time so we've lost out on at least 3 candidates that... — read more 

Direct quote from my manager today who also told me he's now looking for a new job. Guess these calibration meetings are going well.

Perfect example I read about this morning. The company Coinbase is giving employees 4 weeks of "recharge" time this year in addition to their PTO where they are essentially shutting down the company for a week. They did it with one week and two... — read more 

Heard today might be another round of cuts before AVIP particularly national accounts. Would they even have anyone left to do the work? Maybe professor R should be the one getting a pink slip

And deleted posts. But why? Think about this board.

I'm done with this place. Can't take it any longer. Scheduled an email to land in my boss' inbox first thing Monday morning and they can send me a shipping label for my computer. I don't even care if they mail me back my cr-p at by cubicle. Anything... — read more 

I've spoken to several former coworkers who have retired several years ago, and as far as they are concerned, this is still the best company in the world. I've tried to explain how much things have changed lately, but they're not buying it. I'm... — read more 

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?
