As a retiree, I am really disappointed with how the company is treating the employees who believe in and keep the promises.

2zjt ---- you're probably one of those employees who can't retire due to multiple divorces, spending more than you earn, and don't care about the worker sitting next to you. I do care about all those employees that are working to give me the honor of retirement. The world is NOT all about me. It is about those who have been forgotten that will take us into the future. Sorry, but I cannot forget those who are making it happen because I appreciate them and DO NOT think of them as a disposable asset.
How do you like your monthly pension??? — guaranteed for every month of your life — whether you live to be 110 or not. Get a life — when I am retired I will not be so bored that I will be posting on this site.
-gbe. That's the death of the business.
Premiums are low? You love the company? Don't be a fool.
We are here to keep premiums low for our policyholders. A lot of 20 plus year employees feel entitled like they shouldn't have to work. The new hires love the company and work hard. K1LL the pension and run the dinosaurs off. The future is the hub concept and young, energetic hires. Tipsord has done a great job navigating this company into the next century.
Retired is attempting to reconcile their life legacy is a corporate quagmire created by the commission or omission of their duties. Management in the 1990's generated the downfall of the company. This is when the promise was broken from the top down. People were promoted based on outward appearances and social class inclusion rather than character and ability. Employees were called dispensable, then told to 'cross train' to learn skills unrelated to current job to increase job security. 401k was sold as a panacea for all things retirement. Decisions were made to hyper defend the company in order to preserve a job position or department when settlement was the best thing to do (they are just paying on these type of issues as a matter of course now, and all is well, plaintiff bar did NOT infiltrate the 12th floor). Retired, I understand you were invested into the company and most likely had family responsibilities to attend, but by staying with the company and doing bidding past 1995, you created this situation. This company, in its current form is your legacy, your life's work, your Magnus opus. Stay off this site and enjoy the time you have with those how love you. This company will never love employees, will never love policyholders, and never loved you.
I find this hard to believe because things in Claims have been going down hill since the late 90's when they set up the first claim centrals. The work environment has been a toxic cess pool with everyone having to compete for their jobs multiple times. Then you add metrics into the mix and you have everyone on edge on a constant basis. Were things all sunshine and roses in your old department for the last 20+ years? Sorry to sound so cynical but I can't understand how you just came to this epiphany after you retired.
