With quiet firings, quiet layoffs, departures, my team’s boulders include entire teams have left and surviving employees tell us “no one has done that work for Q1 and Q2.” Great place to work? Just a lot more work and dysfunction that suggests... — read more

Curious how todays announcement will transition down… step 1 reorganize, step 2 jobs?

I've come to regret working for this company. They made me leave with a bitter taste in my mouth. Training people to enable them to perform your job... how do you deal with it?

It's incredible that the management does not consider it important to replace people who left, at the very least those who added the most value. What do they think, how much longer can we work like this? I have given up hopes that my colleagues who... — read more

Since it is becoming very obvious that the company is trying to make savings in every way possible, I wonder how far we are from significant cuts. Any insights?

Looks like I was right with my earlier post. What impacts to jobs will this be? https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/insurer-metlife-enters-192-bln-reinsurance-deal-boosts-share-buyback-2023-05-25/

Our team has an all hands meeting coming up where they want everyone to travel and attend in person minus the international team members. We are being required to stay in the same hotel and share rental cars to save on costs they said. Never... — read more 

I know this happened several years ago, but why did MetLife sell off its property and auto insurance portfolio to Farmers? Just curious, as a former MetLife policyholder.

Personally, I have never before experienced so much pressure from a manager to fill out the survey. You?

I got offered a product role in Cary, that I was told will be frozen until Sept. is that accurate, any chance of exceptions or things unfreezing sooner? Thanks!

Talk amongst yourselves. CPR needed, the pulse is weak.

Heard there was a lot of changes in the senior level of HR. Heads rolling?

Unfortunately, I think there are a many of us who think it is.

With current economic conditions and company situation, folks at MetLife, are you going through any layoffs or any news ?

I've changed 4 jobs so far and I've never had such incompetent manager with inflated ego like I do here. It is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with him. Why does this company have such bad managers? (exceptions are rare)

Anyone know when they will begin letting go people in the RIS Contracts Department?

Starting to hear some rumblings rehashing the topic that Reuters reported on early last year, about selling off or reinsuring the variable annuity business. Any more gossip on this?

Whaaaat happened? I haven’t checked recently….Maybe they’re all AVP’s….

The real clue that you will start to see now that bonus has been paid, are the internal emails about how employees have informed their managers of their intent to retire or pursue outside opportunities. The language is the same, regardless of the... — read more 

I know that was the plan - is that still the case?

Can they stop creating marketing terms and just do the freaking obvious right thing for employees. Better base salaries, better benefits at less cost to employees. It’s not that hard. Perhaps they should think about it as a volunteer opportunity for... — read more 

Get in the office & be miserable!! That's an order! Oh, also ...we are a great place to work. Look at all of our awards and other fluffy stuff. We dare people to leave, but most don't.

Some people are convinced that there will be cuts soon. I hope not, but I'm still preparing in case it happens to be true.

So does anyone know what the pay ranges are for Grade 12 and 13 in Cary? TIA.

Working in this company has become very tiring and frustrating. Do you too feel that managers are doing everything they can to make you feel miserable and quit?
