Y'all see them earnings?
Met missed its EPS estimates by 10 cents. Get ready to get reamed. Don't worry though, we only bought back $3.3 Billion in shares last year! https://ycharts.com/companies/MET/stock_buyback

Making A Hard Sale - Going to Move On!
Reading all these posts, sounds like nobody trusts anyone and everyone is completely out for themselves. Not how the website portrays things or how my 3rd interview went. Think I'll PASS! I appreciate people posting.
Anyone else feel this way at this place?
Peter Gibbons : So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my... — 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

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

Did I miss something? I know they are jerking us around with the AVIP. Are they changing the 401k?
ESG
ESG portfolios are underperforming the S&P 500 to date. ESG funds also have some of the highest fees in the industry right now. Meanwhile, O&G has some of the highest dividend yields across all asset classes and are overperforming.
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
