What to do. If you haven’t realized this as of yet, it is BlackRock that instructs the company what they need to do. Blackrock CEO: “At BlackRock we are forcing behaviors…you have to force behaviors” This applies to the companies they have a... —  read more 

Since it is becoming very obvious that the company is trying to make savings in every way possible, I wonder how far we are from significant cuts. Any insights?

Looks like I was right with my earlier post. What impacts to jobs will this be? https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/insurer-metlife-enters-192-bln-reinsurance-deal-boosts-share-buyback-2023-05-25/

New CEO

Our team has an all hands meeting coming up where they want everyone to travel and attend in person minus the international team members. We are being required to stay in the same hotel and share rental cars to save on costs they said. Never... —  read more 

I know this happened several years ago, but why did MetLife sell off its property and auto insurance portfolio to Farmers? Just curious, as a former MetLife policyholder.

Personally, I have never before experienced so much pressure from a manager to fill out the survey. You?

I got offered a product role in Cary, that I was told will be frozen until Sept. is that accurate, any chance of exceptions or things unfreezing sooner? Thanks!

Talk amongst yourselves. CPR needed, the pulse is weak.

Heard there was a lot of changes in the senior level of HR. Heads rolling?

Unfortunately, I think there are a many of us who think it is.

With current economic conditions and company situation, folks at MetLife, are you going through any layoffs or any news ?

I've changed 4 jobs so far and I've never had such incompetent manager with inflated ego like I do here. It is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with him. Why does this company have such bad managers? (exceptions are rare)

Anyone know when they will begin letting go people in the RIS Contracts Department?

Starting to hear some rumblings rehashing the topic that Reuters reported on early last year, about selling off or reinsuring the variable annuity business. Any more gossip on this?

Whaaaat happened? I haven’t checked recently….Maybe they’re all AVP’s….

The real clue that you will start to see now that bonus has been paid, are the internal emails about how employees have informed their managers of their intent to retire or pursue outside opportunities. The language is the same, regardless of the... —  read more 

I know that was the plan - is that still the case?

Can they stop creating marketing terms and just do the freaking obvious right thing for employees. Better base salaries, better benefits at less cost to employees. It’s not that hard. Perhaps they should think about it as a volunteer opportunity for... —  read more 

Get in the office & be miserable!! That's an order! Oh, also ...we are a great place to work. Look at all of our awards and other fluffy stuff. We dare people to leave, but most don't.

Some people are convinced that there will be cuts soon. I hope not, but I'm still preparing in case it happens to be true.

So does anyone know what the pay ranges are for Grade 12 and 13 in Cary? TIA.

Working in this company has become very tiring and frustrating. Do you too feel that managers are doing everything they can to make you feel miserable and quit?

Check if your company is going to do layoff. I came across this info online, I guess we are still not out of the woods, so thought to share with this group, hope it’s useful. Search Your company HQ state + warn act in google. Ex: “Georgia warn... —  read more 

Do you think Michel implied a layoff announcement coming this April?

I don’t think they are going to start hiring for open positions like earlier. When the work is getting done with same resources why fill in open positions. Saving the $$$ and more work for existing resources as always Does anyone else share the... —  read more 

It’s too late, you haven’t cared why start now. It’s more like employees…who cares.

Someone here made a great point, employee feedback from surveys is not used to improve the company at all. Do they care about what we think and how we see this place, or are they totally uninterested in our opinion?

Does anyone have insight into when the hiring freeze ends? I’ve heard both March 31st and others have told me April 15th Thanks in advance

So close….. Worse by the minute. Manager useless and has opposing objectives. Exhausting unfulfilling and unrecognized work. Did I mention useless manager other than source of frustration

AVP status here is bloated and needs a thorough review by upper management during their "expense study". Mine serves no purpose other than being a high priced babysitter we don't need, adds no value, takes up a seat (salary) and by being here... —  read more

Wasn’t there a RIS employee that committed su----e? Then a day after the su----e some Director in a team meeting insensitively asked “who’s doing his work now”? Yeah fact.

Interesting that Susan P's email says US Business performed at 113.3%, however AVIP statements show 102.1.%. Anyone able to explain?

Wonder if the street is seeing the dumpster fires smoldering at 200 Park.
