No year end cool down time

In my previous company no one used to work last 2 week of December other than admin activities so employees can reset, spend some time with family and re- energize for new year. But here at Metlife looks like we need to work until Last day of the... — read more

Sounds familiar

While wages have increased for upper-class individuals to match inflation, the same wage increases weren’t always found for the middle class. A majority of middle class households (75%) feel that inflation is growing at a rate faster than their... — read more

Officer Life

I once worked for a Met officer that told me they were too busy to read emails, answer their phone, or attend meetings they scheduled. They "forgot" their instant messager password and for over a year claimed to not know the help center number to get... — read more

Who’s participating?

MyVoice

Are ya’ll going to be screaming again this year via MyVoice to a bunch of deaf, d-mb and blind executive management? Ask yourselves, has your voice ever been heard? All I want is to be paid market rate and based on what’s out there, that would be... — read more

Stop asking me for PAC money

You didn't even give raises to match inflation and now you want me to give you money back to lobby politicians? Stick it where the sun doesn't shine, MK. I'd rather spend that money on union dues than Met's political pet projects.

Over worked

My senior is smartly trying to push all the work on me and even counting on the time I should spend on each task and asking to assign more work to me as the already assigned work should not take much time as per her/him. What should I do? I am new... — read more

Weak Leadership

Anyone else have a boss that schedules one on ones but never shows up. Always too busy to join. I wish I could get the nerve to cancel out the whole series invite and if asked, explain that I'll accept again when he/she can decide if they are... — read more

Lunch Discount

I am so grateful for the food discount, what a fantastic perk! Right up there with center stage points and annual pay increases of 1%! Gotta respect this organization for really giving a Cr$p. Talk to anyone that isn’t a Director and up if they... — read more

I try not to worry ahead of time

I got discouraged while looking for a new job but the fault is my own for staying here too long. I would love to find something new as soon as possible, because I have a very bad feeling that things are going to get even uglier here. Although I... — read more

Too much politics

Why are the old folks so insecure when new people join the team.

Outsourcing

Work has started getting outsourced to third party leaving employees concerned about the impact.

Q2 Earnings

I wonder what kind of results we'll see today. Things have not been going well for the stock lately even with the slow climb in the last few weeks and I'm worried if there is no improvement that we might feel it in the way of more layoffs. It... — read more 

Gender Pronouns Will Save The Day!

Notice how so many leaders now have their pronouns listed in their signature line? Guess the directive from above is making them do so! I appreciate this as then I was able to use the proper pronoun when I put in my notice last week. She/Her can... — read more 

Choose any other company to work for if you can

Being good at what you do will be a burden at MetLife. You will be perceived as a threat by everybody around you and they will make sure to make your life a living he-l. I've never had to deal with such a toxic work environment in my life - and just... — read more

LTC Premium Increases out of hand

This is an example of incredibly poor asset management with zero culpability to the company for the promises they made for these policy holders of keeping rates steady. I'm sure these policies were never sold with expectations of increasing 29.4% to... — read more 

Is attrition not enough?

I hear some rumors about layoffs and honestly - I can't believe those rumors. The reason - there are so many employees who are leaving that it is simply unbelievable that there could be additional cuts. Then who would stay here to work?

Inspired Self-Selection Trimming Of the Herd

Interesting article here on Facebook/Meta wanting to trim staff by making annual goals much harder to make so people will fail and be sent packing. The one thing companies with this strategy don't realize is that some good and great workers will... — read more
