So is everyone who will move over to Accenture already aware that they’ll be moved? I know the first wave is in December. But what about the others? Is TIAA still deciding who else will be moved?
XMAS BONUS?
It would be amazing to get an extra $1000+ as a Inflation Adjustment Christmas stipend. Yes inflation has slowed down but property taxes and the cost of food still has me eating Top Ramen and Pop Tarts.. Just like in college :) , and there's plenty... — read more
Things feel off
Things feel off around the company this week. Can someone spill the beans on what the he-l is going on?
Bossware Upending TIAA
https://www.wired.com/story/creepy-rise-bossware/
I’ve been thinking about finally leaving
I’ve been with TIAA for years. It doesn't even resemble itself from the time I came onboard. This past year in particular has been tense and stressful. I also don’t see a particularly bright future ahead. I already started looking for another job... — read more
Denver Closure
I heard the details were released this week. Did TIAA come to their senses and let everyone have the option of transferring to Charlotte if they weren’t interested in Texas?
CEO Titles
Anyone know the reasoning behind these new bogus CEO titles for David Nasson and Kourtney Gibson? They were already the heads of those departments, so what do they need CEO titles for?
LRC
The atmosphere is super tense. Next couple weeks will be very interesting, teams are being lined up already and being asked about what they do
Winning with our people?
It’s crazy that Claire’s message about how we are winning with our people and how she values us all so much is still the first thing on the intranet the same day the Denver folks are getting their severance dates.
How the pendulum has swung
Isn’t it crazy that 2 years ago we had a party on an island with a C list rapper? Who we then paid to create a song about “retirement”(?) a year ago? EssenceFest, discussing Super Bowl commercials, it was crazy. And now? Every penny must be... — read more
November layoffs
How does November look regarding layoffs? Has there been any chatter or rumors I've missed?
CNBC Article: Coffee and T
So I came across an MSN article: Making "Coffee and T" a recurring meeting on her calendar has helped Duckett create a culture where employees feel "heard without judgment," she wrote on LinkedIn. what a bunch of ho------t!! Title, “ Fortune 500 CEO... — read more
No work-life balance
This wasn’t always an issue, but it’s become a real struggle lately. People keep finding better jobs and leaving, which means the rest of us on the team are stuck taking on their work. For some reason, they’re not backfilling any of those positions... — read more
Anyone know the agenda for the CS&T Organizational Update - New Operating Model meeting that was put on our calendars?
Could this meeting be telling us to RTO 5 days a week? Or just the Org changes updates?
LR&C Layoffs?
Legal, risk and compliance planning more layoffs? Seems odd to accelerate self evals relative to enterprise deadline, especially with rumors of mandated budget cuts from the top.
Venting about M&C org
Micky's Team Update email Why even try? The only people who get ahead in this org are cronies who mismanage their teams. But they impress Micky.
More layoffs coming?
I’ve heard suspicions of more layoffs coming before the end of the year, but nothing factual. Has anyone heard otherwise?
EverBank turnaround story (now that TIAA is out the way)
It has been more than a year since we sold the Bank. One thing I found odd about this transaction is that the sale amount was never disclosed for this transaction. One would assume that because we seemed so desperate to end the relationship that we... — read more
We have a reason to be angry
For years the company told us how much they needed us. The company told us how much they valued us and couldn’t get by without their people. The company told us that we were the difference makers and they couldn’t do it without us. When they had to... — read more
How did 2 years to close Denver become 6 months?
After the notification in August came out that they were closing the Jacksonville office in July 2025 and closing Denver in July of 2026, my manager and their manager sat down and said "we wanted to give plenty of time notice for the employees...blah... — read more
Transition
Now slowly we are realizing , this partnership is not good for us. Many of us losing the license, downgrading our band level. When you will be redeployed it's not just re-skilling, you would interviewed again Accenture internal team as new Clients.
Same Ole, Same Ole
Barely struggled through today's "Ask the EC" call. Lots of canned answers, devoid of any real substance, addressing questions that I'm sure were hand selected specifically to avoid any semblance of controversy. Although in the current toxic... — read more
Not looking great for Accenture employees.
“In October 2023, Accenture communicated to its employees in India and Sri Lanka that there would be no salary hikes for the fiscal year 2023 due to adverse macroeconomic factors.” “Accenture Plc, the global consulting and technology giant, is set... — read more
Writing has been on the wall for a while
After offloading people to Accenture, there will be more layoffs coming. More importantly, there will be many new subtle ways to make you quit. I know it’s hard for long-time employees to accept it, but TIAA is no longer that company they started... — read more
Acknowledge Letter
The letter says to employees can move to internal positions before they sign the Accenture offer letter or they can if they don’t sign the offer letter before they are terminated. But the fact is there is no internal position and nobody will give any... — read more
The new measuring whip
Take a closer look at the new performance scale. There are now two “underperforming” categories, but only one over-performing category. The “Leading” category is now the average. Don’t be fooled by the naming-scheme for the second category... — read more
The CAO must resign or be fired
After seeing the indictments against P Diddy going back 15 years, the CAO must resign or be terminated. Given the depth and breadth of what’s in the indictments, it is impossible for me to believe that he didn’t have at least some knowledge of what... — read more
How we were selected for selling to Accenture? What's strategy?
Although it doesn't change the fact that we have been thrown under the bus, out of curiosity, Can anyone shed light on the criteria and rationale behind our selection for Accenture?
TIAA Times: TIAA’s inclusion in TIME’s list of World’s Best Companies for 2024. BIGGEST JOKE of 2024!!!
Seriously?? Best places? Maybe under Roger. Not now. This must be another made up prize or award like our Temu of CEOs, keeps getting. Let’s close down Denver, an IMPORTANT hub, risk all our talent there. And also let’s get rid of 1500e employees... — read more
Salary Decrease
I'm sure a lot of us are wondering (I heard its true) after 2 years at Accenture, our salaries will drastically decreased to match Acc level? If so, will it be mentioned in the offer.
Start looking
Just dropping this here: It’s always easier to find a new job when you're already employed. Not saying it's impossible otherwise, but having a job definitely gives you an edge. Something to keep in mind with ever-looming layoffs, firings, and other... — read more
September 10 Town Hall
this board’s been pretty quiet lately so I’m gonna put this out there. Anyone hear of any big announcements coming at the Townhall? I’m hearing a four-day work week. Anyone? anyone? Let’s get the gossip mills churning again. I live for this. — read more
Bloat at the top
While they’re busy slashing jobs at the manager and director levels has anyone been paying attention to the fact that T dramatically expanded the EC and each EC person then hires a CAO or chief of staff, their own HR Business Partner, their own... — read more
Accenture Bands are low compared to TIAA
As per the townhall, if you are in TIAA 9 Band you will be mapped to Accenture 8 band that means Associate Manager and if you are TIAA 8 band you will mapped to Accenture 9 band that means consultant. I am not sure how many of you know, as per our... — read more
TIAA veteran here
Run for your lives. This isn’t a shadow of a company I once worked for. I am, personally, just trying to bridge over, if possible, to retirement. The rest of you, just go look for good jobs and career options. This isn’t either. Work on your skills... — read more
OMG T’s coming to Frisco!! Don’t care, my concern was excitingly outsourced!!!
Like seriously we got a post asking us to come in so she can see us working and “collaborating”. Ummm.. I ain’t wasting anymore gas and tolls than I have to and try to satisfy the Temu of CEOs. All of my fu--s have unfortunately been outsourced... — read more
Accenture layoffs https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1tXGQr5C
https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1s7mMSDM
Just a reminder
If you are being shoveled over to Accenture, start looking for another job now.
People are not happy
I'm yet to speak to somebody who's not already looking for a new job. This latest move has been the breaking point for so many, myself included. Not that TIAA higher-ups will give a damn when it happens, but I foresee a major brain drain in the... — read more
Salaries etc
Will the associates moving to this new company keep their TIAA salaries? I heard this new company doesn't have a retirement plan.... scary
