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 

Thoughts? Comments? Where is this taking us?

So, it’s the end of year and doesn’t seem we have hit the 1400 number for employees being laid off this year? Will they actually do it right before or after Christmas ? Should we be concerned ?

If anyone wants to get the idea of how a lot of hard work goes to waste due to the incompetence of the management, I suggest they look into the practices of Metlife’s management. A lot of ignorance mixed with a whole lot of hubris is a powerfully... —  read more
