Has anyone done this? Or know anyone that has transferred to a different team? Looking to pivot to a different role within the company, but a bit hesitant about doing so. Not sure if this would put a target in my back when the next round of layoffs... — read more 

More client losses and job cuts for TIAA. The only thing go for us is the TIAA Traditonal restriction. If there were no surrenders or timing restrictions on that fund, our ratings would tank in a NYC minute.

Look at that - “recognition” and “pay and performance” dropped 7 points - who’d have thunk it. What doesn’t get called out is the senior leadership items. “Senior Leader Trust” is down 8 points since the full survey in March 2023 and is well below... — read more 

What is the latest about the partnership with Accenture ? The good, the bad, and the ugly ? How many job losses and how much are the synergies costing TIAA ?

Is 2 weeks required? Thinking about quitting after bonuses next year, or end of this year. Would I need to give 2 weeks notice? Does HR conduct exit interviews? Has anyone been offered even more money to stay?

Leadership is questioning the need for all the open positions, so good luck getting headcount anytime soon.

Net income negative $407,362,484.00 Capital & Surplus down $551 million. On a positive note: The New York Liberty defeated The Washington Mystics 86-78 in WNBA action.

This company is going backward not forward. Not paying associates fairly, no raises in 3+ years for most, forcing RTO at the expense of talented tenured associates yet promoting AI and other technologies that people have experience with in other... — read more 

And if so, would you be honest or say nothing not to burn any bridges? I'm tempted to just be completely honest, but I know it's risky.

I am a manager of a sizeable team and an associate came into my office yesterday in tears. She is having trouble making ends meet -- her rent has gone up 15% over the past 3 years, day care is increasingly unaffordable AND her salary has been flat... — read more 

Derek Ferguson is scheduled to testify today in Diddy trial in New York. This should be very interesting testimony. He managed Diddy’s company and personal finances so he has to have a ton of information.

I work in a very small niche part of the company. Very client facing, including many of the largest institutions. Also our work affects thousands of plan participants directly. They decided to shutter the unit, with virtually no time to transition... — read more 

Must be nice. Very on brand. I doubt she’ll make any money from that, but maybe it will be a good tax write off.

I can’t understand why TIAA is so worried about being the leader or AI in the industry and spending a lot of money on it when the basic programs that we use are down right awful. The new gen cloud is worse than the version we had before. Everyday... — read more 

We care about your mental health but you better get that A-s in a seat to be on zoom for 3 days a week. Aren’t you excited about Frisco? You get to deal with the fallout from Denver, picking up the slack, and force-hiring lesser talent in Texas at... — read more 

The CIO of Nuveen was abruptly replaced without any explanation. Any idea what happened?

Couple years with no raise. What y’all doing to make ends meet?

just when I didn't think this place could get more mediocre, we're forcing AI down peoples throats. Sorry to nuveen and everyone who supports anything remotely environmental or educational...saving a buck and brain cell is more important!

Noting drains a high performer faster than realizing their reward for excellence is cleaning up someone else's incompetence. If you know you know

Given the general employee negativity and likely eroding revenue, would it make sense to start taking income earlier to at least get something? Can’t imagine TIAA being in better shape 10-20 years from now…. Curious what you guys think.

But before the ship sinks, leadership’s already pointing fingers at everyone below them. Feels like we’re just here to take the fall for their bad calls. What’s the point anymore? Classic corporate playbook: sc--w up majorly, then act like it’s our... — read more 

I have an offer for another company. But apparently I have to give a 4 week notice. How ridged is TIAA on this?

The rot is so deeply engrained in all aspects of the culture and at every level, it will never be fixed. TIAA is dying a slow death. The only question is who buys the corpse before it totally decays. The company was built on a mindset of a... — read more 

I have an offer for a leader role in the technology space. Its interesting work based out of the Dallas area. Is TIAA as bad as this board suggests? Everyone I have interviewed with has been fantastic with a long tenure. Thoughts?

Heard that an announcement is coming this week that a certain group of "low on the totem pole" employees will be required to be in the office 5 days/week. Yeah, it's the AA's. And if true, I doubt it will stop with them. That whole "hybrid is the new... — read more 

Is the $25k that they’re giving you to move to TX enough to cover moving fees and your mortgage for the year?

We need to layoff 1,200 workers! Labor costs are too high. But this week in Charlotte, let’s have a “coloring contest” and “crochet lessons”!!!!! So much productivity! I’m sure this won’t be a huge waste of time and we won’t feel like we are... — read more 

I don’t work for TIAA and I never have. The company recently posted some jobs that align with my skills and experience and I’m considering applying. However, I stumbled upon this website and I’m having second thoughts. Unfortunately, it seems the... — read more 

I see so many walking away and I wonder what's the thing that ends up being the last straw. Pay, burnout, feeling invisible, or something else entirely?

In the dimly lit private room of an upscale steakhouse in Charlotte, five members of the Senior Leadership Team clinked their glasses together in a silent toast. The mood was triumphant, but there was an air of quiet tension—no one wanted to be the... — read more 

Does anyone have any insight as to how many people are actually moving to Frisco from Denver? I have a feeling my team and others will be badly affected and TIAA will likely drag their feet with replacements if replacements even happen. I wish I... — read more 

You have to be really obtuse to not see it happening. While longtime staff is heading for the exits, leadership layers seem to multiply. Meanwhile, the same tired "restructuring" buzzwords keep getting recycled as morale tanks. Is anyone else... — read more 

It has never felt this demoralizing and hopeless since I joined. I can barely drag myself to work anymore.

Looks like a $1.2bn net loss in 2024 per the most recently released financial statements.

I am sorry to ourTCSG associates but it looks like the writing is on the wall. Once the knowledge transfer is complete and the trust company is caught up, most of the trust positions are going to be outsourced.

What did everyone’s LTPP payout for the 3 years of vesting this year? I see ~3% per year or 9% total. CDs are paying better.

Seems like Kourtney Gibson is the hatchet woman of the hour. Since January, she has been axing teams left and right. Heard that some long time leaders got the dreaded call yesterday.
