Anyone know when they will begin letting go people in the RIS Contracts Department?

Starting to hear some rumblings rehashing the topic that Reuters reported on early last year, about selling off or reinsuring the variable annuity business. Any more gossip on this?

Whaaaat happened? I haven’t checked recently….Maybe they’re all AVP’s….

The real clue that you will start to see now that bonus has been paid, are the internal emails about how employees have informed their managers of their intent to retire or pursue outside opportunities. The language is the same, regardless of the... — read more 

I know that was the plan - is that still the case?

Can they stop creating marketing terms and just do the freaking obvious right thing for employees. Better base salaries, better benefits at less cost to employees. It’s not that hard. Perhaps they should think about it as a volunteer opportunity for... — read more 

Get in the office & be miserable!! That's an order! Oh, also ...we are a great place to work. Look at all of our awards and other fluffy stuff. We dare people to leave, but most don't.

Some people are convinced that there will be cuts soon. I hope not, but I'm still preparing in case it happens to be true.

So does anyone know what the pay ranges are for Grade 12 and 13 in Cary? TIA.

Working in this company has become very tiring and frustrating. Do you too feel that managers are doing everything they can to make you feel miserable and quit?

Check if your company is going to do layoff. I came across this info online, I guess we are still not out of the woods, so thought to share with this group, hope it’s useful. Search Your company HQ state + warn act in google. Ex: “Georgia warn... — read more 

Do you think Michel implied a layoff announcement coming this April?

I don’t think they are going to start hiring for open positions like earlier. When the work is getting done with same resources why fill in open positions. Saving the $$$ and more work for existing resources as always Does anyone else share the... — read more 

It’s too late, you haven’t cared why start now. It’s more like employees…who cares.

Someone here made a great point, employee feedback from surveys is not used to improve the company at all. Do they care about what we think and how we see this place, or are they totally uninterested in our opinion?

Does anyone have insight into when the hiring freeze ends? I’ve heard both March 31st and others have told me April 15th Thanks in advance

So close….. Worse by the minute. Manager useless and has opposing objectives. Exhausting unfulfilling and unrecognized work. Did I mention useless manager other than source of frustration

AVP status here is bloated and needs a thorough review by upper management during their "expense study". Mine serves no purpose other than being a high priced babysitter we don't need, adds no value, takes up a seat (salary) and by being here... — read more

Wasn’t there a RIS employee that committed su----e? Then a day after the su----e some Director in a team meeting insensitively asked “who’s doing his work now”? Yeah fact.

Interesting that Susan P's email says US Business performed at 113.3%, however AVIP statements show 102.1.%. Anyone able to explain?

Wonder if the street is seeing the dumpster fires smoldering at 200 Park.

Any ideas why this would happen?

Michele noted the hiring freeze at yesterday’s LTL for an undetermined amount of time, is this the precursor to layoffs?

https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article272524184.html

I hope you saw the LTL today and Michel's tap dancing about stock buybacks. Not once in his defensive and pandering speech did he mention how Met's buybacks benefited its employees. I wonder why? I also loved the line of "when our investors buy... — read more 

I'm gonna guess meaningful raises isn't part of the bar raising MK is blathering about on LTL.

Board will oust CEO. Time for a new top leadership team.

Unfortunately, this company can no longer be said to be progressive. Why is that so? Does our leadership think it is too risky if they let go of some outdated models or maybe they didn't even notice how stuck in the past this place is?

They are really hitting the cross training hard in US business. This isn’t an opportunity for you to learn, it’s an opportunity for the company to seamlessly put someone else in your place after you are fired. Don’t fool yourself, there’s nothing... — read more
