How likely is that there will be Prudential layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Just a rumor but I am hearing that some layoffs and significant re-org may be coming in GTO. FWIW

The year end is here, does anyone hear layoff/cost reduction in your group?

Why is there such negative energy in this place? Why can't the atmosphere be less toxic? I will quit because health is priceless.

The biggest cause of stress here: management. They are also the main reason why the most knowledgeable and capable employees are leaving this place. I have never worked in a company that has such bad managers as we do here. You?

Rumors seem to be starting up again...

I work in Global Technology and whenever I asked someone how they are doing I get a defeated, "ah, ya know" or "hanging in there" or half-hearted "good". It didn't used to be like this, most people I interacted with used to be enthusiastic and happy... —  read more

I'm not sure how it happened, but the once great company culture has morphed into a toxic mess that everybody is looking to escape. I hate to see what Prudential has turned into because I used to truly enjoy my work and now I dread it. I'd like to... —  read more 

Leave your thoughts on the latest quarterly update.

Has anyone heard if we are closing any offices?

There's talk about layoffs in technology this week, is this true? How many were affected?

I'll land on my feet if I'm laid off. I'm much more worried about them deciding that severance is too much of an expense and instead of laying us off, they start finding reasons to fire us. I know many will call me paranoid and they might be true... —  read more 

I'm tired because I have to deal with a total lack of recognition or respect for my performance every single day. I'm tired of having to fight to have anything I have done recognized as being done by me. I'm tired of others taking credit for my work... —  read more 

The rest of us are planning to leave because they keep expecting us to pick up their work and continue like it's a normal thing. Not only that isn't physically possible, but none of us are insane to let them keep increasing our workload that was... —  read more 

I can say with certainty that most of us are here only because it is difficult to find another option. It’s easy to get an offer that’s no better than the job I have here, but it’s not easy to find something better. I'd like to leave before I get... —  read more 

Now that the retirment business is going. Will the Hartford location remain? Or, will the staff be down sized?

Layoffs may be coming, but don't let go!

Any thoughts?

It was not surprising that PRU sold its Retirement business. It's been a long time coming. I would expect to see consolidation and cost savings in the near future. VSP was the optimal time to exit the company. Kudos to those who took advantage of it. —  read more 

We hire people specifically for one role and then we put them into a completely different role they didn't expect nor are equipped to handle. This screws over all of us: the person who joined the company and would otherwise thrive but is now stuck in... —  read more 

When did things turn so toxic???

That’s someone’s opinion in one of the previous posts. I wonder what you think, does Pru have the capacity to attract young and talented new employees? My opinion is that it's not just the younger people, Pru no longer has the capacity to attract... —  read more 

Anyone know what the company’s return to office will look like? Do you all get to continue working from home? Is it a hybrid?

On Monday I noticed a bunch of posts from former Pru employees about their next role and leaving the company. Was wondering if coincidence or another big cut.

We used to have good leadership, how did that change so quickly? This is true for all levels. It feels like managers see us as a burden instead of employees they should get to know and promote good relations with. Nobody seems interested in talking... —  read more
