The best way to protest what Manulife is doing is to stop buying their products and services. Close down your Manulife bank account, transfer your investments to RBC and move your life insurance to Sun Life. If there is a protest at the LPGA (not... — read more 

someone told me a protest is being organized at the pga golf tournament. I am going to go.betcha the tv people will be their and manulife will be exposed. Can someone confirm when this is?

I don't think anyone will post their severance details here. I am sure the Manulife legal team has made sure that fired employees sign some kind of waiver that prohibits them from disclosing details of their severance with the threat of legal... — read more 

Can someone post what severance is being given to non-management employees? Also, how does it compare to the minimum required by labour law in Ontario?

As others have said, the atmosphere at Manulife is absolutely toxic, and has been for many months. At this point, I'd actually prefer to get a package and take the summer off. Then I'd take my time and find work at a company that's actually ethical... — read more

Take a look at Manulife Financial, North America's second-largest insurer, which is betting its future on fast-growing Asia. The company just celebrated a bounce-back year profit-wise, but it is going to be cutting people, although quietly. It... — read more 

@atmosphere: Morals down = Morale down. Too bad leadership is so lacking there for you. They are a group of scoundrels and cheats by the sounds of it

The atmosphere at Manulife is very odd. Its a very quiet place now. So many people are worried about what is next and who will be affected. Not the same place as it was a year ago. Morale is totally down.

The RECORD: WATERLOO REGION — At first, Michelle Jarrett and Marion Burgdorf thought their bosses were doing them a favour. The two women worked as information technology security co-ordinators at the large Manulife Financial office in downtown... — read more

Am not an employee at Manulife but someone told us about the situation and mentioned this website. Best if someone who is/was there and has inside information contacts the media. As mentioned, Tomlinson and Wente might be good choices.

Why do you not come forward to the media if you are aware of the outsourcing that Manulife is doing? Have they created such a culture of fear that you are worried about being disciplined (of fired). If it is worth saying, it should be worth the risk... — read more
