What is the latest about the partnership with Accenture ? The good, the bad, and the ugly ? How many job losses and how much are the synergies costing TIAA ?

The people issues aside - moving ops to Accenture is long over due. The archaic processes needed a different perspective. The Ops employees worked hard, but lacked real leadership and visionaries for many years.
Some of my old coworkers actually like working for them. More structure within their vision, even though it’s still muddled with TIAA’s dizziness.
Their main worry is being under contract, but better than being unemployed
@mc I do think dh was bi--hing or hateful of TIAA. Evidently you failed reading comprehension. The only troll post here is yours, since you didn’t even touch OPs question.
Based on what I read they may be one of the Denver folks being forced out and would have liked to stay still as a small part of TIAA if they were sold to Accenture versus being forced out due to the office closure.
They didn’t bad mouth TIAA at all or the Accenture transition they seem to think it’s working decently for how much it su-ks losing fellow colleagues and not being able to collaborate with them face to face anymore.
@dh You seem so cynical with your assumption of a "troll post" comment. The only one that is trolling is you bi--hing on an internet chat site how much you hate TIAA. If you hate TIAA so much, leave and file a whistleblower complaint so TIAA can get sued more.
Nice troll post. If you are with TIAA you would know the ins and outs of this partnership… good bad and ugly. Basically “nothing to see here” as they say.
No real job losses considering the sale of associates minus those who were let go that were unwilling to move to the Purple side, do not seem to matter at all.
Honestly 3 full months in everything is pretty much BAU as they try and help automate a lot of the mundane and archaic processes here.
The only difference is being in the office and not seeing our former colleagues and friends faces which is the saddest part of the transition to be honest. Makes me wish I was moved over as well.
…Especially in Denver. Those not selected to go to Accenture are having to deal with losing familiar faces every day. Morale here is in the negative. That half hearted halt hearing last week was pathetic.
OP… I’d worry less about the Accenture transition than the hundreds of losses via the Denver/Jacksonville closures. At least TIAA-Accenture folks get 2 years perhaps up to 10 per the contract. Gonna be a lack of knowledge across the board once Denver folks start leaving.
I've heard that former TIAA employees generally like working for Accenture. Tells you something about the state of TIAA.
