Topics regarding layoffs at MetLife Inc.

Considering applying

I came across this site accidentally while looking up how often layoffs occur at Metlife. What I read on Glassdoor is the total opposite of what I am reading here. Could anybody give me an honest assessment, please? I am looking to get into the... — read more 

Alarming

Does anyone find it alarming, when executive leadership makes a statement, they act as though they have the power to speak for every employee? MetLife speaks out for this, or against that..... but they have no idea who all is for or against what, and... — read more 

Farmers replace MetLife Auto & Home management!

These MetLife Auto & Home Managers and Sups need pink slips. None of them know what they are doing, none of them seek advanced designations and they barely know anything about actual p&c insurance. ML could be great under Farmers but these people... — read more 

Winning the future

What a f—ing waste of time that is. Anyone who needs to be trained on that sh– is an absolute mo–n and lacks the skills to be an entry level employee at a mom and pop convenience store. Met is doomed to fail if this was supposed to be some... — read more 

I'm ready to move on

I've enjoyed my time at MetLife for the most part but lately it's been a bit too much about wrong people being promoted while the best people are being showing the door. I decided not to stick around and wait for my turn. Finding a new job was much... — read more 

Was anyone happy with their annual increase or AVIP?

It seems to me they announced they have lots of cash on hand but the message I received started with “due to Covid....” then received the news about a small raise and the lowest AVIP in 11 years for me....2020 was a year of working longer hours and... — read more 

Don’t trust the message

It is all propaganda. S—ing employees in to believe they care. They only care how they look to shareholders. The constant request for our opinions is pathetic. Y’all went to fancy colleges, Wharton, Harvard, University of Michigan...and are paid... — read more 

Raises

Raises capped at 1.5%. None for above grade 13 (US).

Let me just say this

Everyone working for this company should have a backup plan. Companies in the industry are having layoffs and ours is no different. So why not be prepared? We all know the job market is not doing great with hundreds ( if not thousands ) of people... — read more 

What happens when Farmers takes over?

What happens to the employees that follow the acquisition? How does Farmers treat them and do they keep them? Also, benefits and retirement from Farmers, any idea of what they offer?

When will it end?

Work…worry…wait Work…worry…wait Just rip off the bandage and get it over with. Give us some peace of mind so that we can concentrate on our performance. This whole waiting game is just another way of instilling fear into us. When we hear of... — read more

Exit now

I made the decision to leave almost two years ago and I have no regrets. This company is nothing but a joke and I was so tired of the BS politics and backstabbing. Get out before it sinks like the Titanic because this company is going downhill. Any... — read more

The worst possible timing

Could they have chosen a worse time to do this to us? A few weeks ahead of Christmas. They really couldn't have waited until January? Given people a chance to properly enjoy the holidays, especially considering the year we've had? In addition to... — read more

Communication rollout was not good

If you’re in claims an email was sent by Christin White this afternoon. Not sure how the other gto leads communicated it. Sounds like you’re in the clear. Unfortunately the communication rollout wasn’t great. I heard my boss was impacted from my... — read more

Selling P&C Rumors

I know they are only “Rumors” and even doing my own reading of insiderP&C , there doesn’t appear to be anything set in stone. I’m just left to wonder, if rumors are true would there be another major layoff before or after the acquisition? Do I at... — read more

Layoffs ?

Are they inevitable for claims? Feels like volume is down I’m some areas ? Personally, I think it’s due to staffing module. It feels like every few months an area is affected, but it’s been a while for claims ? Thoughts?

Allyship

Anyone think there are political undertones in the current onslaught of D&I training? Can you say “allyship”?

Corporate Descison not Performance Related?

15+ years will end in Aug 2020. Sounded like it wasn't an isolated event, but HR was cryptic with coded language about not sharing with others out of respect until they are notified (IT org). Also stated not Performance or Personal so if I believe... — read more

Just received an email that a CIO is leaving to "pursue a new opportunity outside the company" - then the next sentence is "His last day will be today" Hmmmm.....seems a bit abrupt - but makes ya wonder

I think we are about to be hit with layoffs

How else is MetLife going to pay the increased dividend? I think they plan to use the coronavirus pandemic as a reason for cutting a bunch of people when there would have been no need for it if the dividend had stayed the same. I might be overly... — read more 

Next Horizon—Old News
