Thread regarding Northwestern Mutual layoffs

NM has many employees quiet quitting. I worked with many that did just enough to get by. One guy used to brew/steep his own coffee at his desk a few times a day a long with walking around campus talking with different friends. Another worker spent most of day surfing internet and he lacked any knowledge in this position. I had co workers working side hustle at work (avon, lbrie). I was amazed how much time wasted on non NM work. Remote workers are probably much worse. NM is so blind!

Majority of the Wipro and infosys contractors continue to milk the company! Highly inefficient, charge unnecessary overtime, and not accountable for results. If it weren’t for some hard working NM employees, we would be in the dumps!

AA (vp of ics) is very biased man actually, and keeps miscalculating who should the real leaders and who are the hard working people

It's no surprise Mia was promoted. Ahmed is another Neal. They were d-mb enough to sit next to each other at baseball games for everyone on national television to see. Ahmed needs to join the list of departures.

So you're being lazy to spite some corporation that won't even notice? Sounds like you lose in the end, brother. Everyone knows NM is kind of a sub-par place... so congrats... you joined the sub par army and you'll spend the rest of your days kinda working?

You know what I think? I think you were never really that hard of a worker or very good to begin with. People that work hard do it because that's who they are. They either decide to continue to work hard because it's mostly about their own personal standard or they leave because they're the type that has to be around other high performers. You sound like neither.

The below 👇 comment is point on and very sad unfortunately.

You could be like one privileged person and play with a stuffed animal, play finger puppets, rant on Slack about your personal life all day and get promoted to Principal Product Mgr. - Field & Home Office Experience. A new low was set at NM today.

Do us and the policyowners a favor, quit for real.

I worked in downtown office prior to having automated Id scan. I'd set up a meeting on my calendar for 2 hours around lunch time. I'd park on street near NM then just go home to catch a nice nap. Back to work a few hours later and still crushed it at my job. Easy money.

I show up, grab my Starbucks hit the checkin gate, then leave. My boss told me as long as I check into the office 3-4 times a week doesn’t matter how long. Happy CEO happy life, we are back!!!!

I'm also an NM employee. I see a lot of wasted time at company expense. I had a manager at Franklin campus that would take 15 minute smoke breaks every hour throughout the day every day. He'd have to walk off campus by back road as your not allowed to smoke on site. This is typically of the Indian contractors who take group coffee and cigarette breaks in groups on 5 to 10 as well. How come nobody monitors this stuff? $$$$! Wasted
