Don't underestimate yourself
It's amazing how many people are still here because they haven't even tried to get a better opportunity believing that they won't be able to get it. Why not try at least? I think that just as they do not value anyone, they have unfortunately... — read more

Training others
I've come to regret working for this company. They made me leave with a bitter taste in my mouth. Training people to enable them to perform your job... how do you deal with it?
No replacements
It's incredible that the management does not consider it important to replace people who left, at the very least those who added the most value. What do they think, how much longer can we work like this? I have given up hopes that my colleagues who... — read more

I know this happened several years ago, but why did MetLife sell off its property and auto insurance portfolio to Farmers? Just curious, as a former MetLife policyholder.

With current economic conditions and company situation, folks at MetLife, are you going through any layoffs or any news ?
