In my 14 years at MetLife I have never experienced such chaos from every level on every topic. The company has gone mad and has brewed up a very toxic RTO atmosphere.
Vendor changes, office closures, eliminating one org, growing another, never ending org changes, forcing RTO, sub par pay. The decisions and direction are not only disconnected from servicing our customers but dont meet the expectations of talented employees. It’s pure chaos.
The flow of those leaving must be getting some attention. Will anything be done to slow the bleeding?
Get out while there are still plenty of better alternatives and think several times before coming here.

You can't quit Monday. Michel says we have to sacrifice like Ukrainians.
Anyone quitting on Monday, when bonus is paid out?
The bloated level of AVP personnel at this Company needs to be seriously reevaluated. They do nothing all day, and have no understanding of the daily processes (and deficiencies) they supposedly "oversee". They are experts at barking orders and creating nonsensical tasks for their teams, which the SLT salivates over.
That's what you get from a CEO who thinks it's OK to compare RTO to Ukrainians being bombed and mu---red.
There are many you won't see on the 28th .. and soon after bonus, many more will leave.
It's cool though the lifers are set and happy to stick to the old ways but this i will guarantee, in the not too distant future MetLife will have a big issue.
See ya on the 28th, bud.
Didn't you hear on LTL? He's heard there's "overwhelming support" from RTO. Who did he ask? Nobody knows! Probably the same people who told him the Catalyst project is going well.
Either MetLife changes it's old business model or it will fall behind as it's competitors embrace the new work from anywhere model.
The days of sitting in an office for 10 hours as day are OVER.
One of Metlife's competitors, Allstate has embraced the work from anywhere model and is selling its main headquarters as a result. Why? Because they canvassed their employees and the results were overwhelming. People want the fully remote model because clearly it works.
Hopefully people speak up in large numbers, then MetLife can finally move into the future.
They talk as good game in terms of being progressive but clearly they are holding onto an old dying model. Wake up MetLife before it's too late.

HR claims that attrition isn't that bad. I don't know what they're talking about considering daily I learn someone has left the company. And almost all of them have moved on to full remote positions.
I don't know why RTO is a hill Khalef wants to die on. This could have been an easy way to attract new talent if we had adopted a remote policy like Salesforce.
