@8faa+1q46uf19 don't forget the inept AVPs who forever remain employed there, despite their daily deterioration to morale, productivity and overall success of the company. But you know, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual comp for the DEI checkmark, makes it all worthwhile. Shameful to have seen some hard working minions get laid off there this year.

They just fired another colleague. Continue to protect the totally incompetent stupid VPs and SVPs.
Don't rule out a buyout of MIM.
BL always manages to find an exuberant role here... "Chief Care Officer". "Employee Care", much like career mobility, is apparently now each employee's sole responsibility here. Buzzwords galore, that mean absolutely nothing. Showcase an employee organ donation and ELT congratulate themselves ten times over for that.
Shareholders have whistleblowers spilling tea: fraud, waste, excess. Board too corrupt.
Where is this Khalaf leaving thing coming from? Is it real?
If it is, then there should be a Game of Thrones going on behind the scenes. Is there?
Nothing like getting junk mail from MetLife and not being an employee there anymore. How do you make this stop? I was part of the P&C group that was sold to Farmers in 2021. While at MetLife, the culture changed significantly after becoming public to a company that is no different than other controversial ones. Unfortunately for people currently working at MetLife, it appears that the company is still getting worse.
Working in P&C as some considered to be toxic, spreadsheets were provided by management with project codes and hours to report monthly regardless if you worked on the projects or not. One instance, a manager directed people in a team to report all PTO as project time. This falsification of records was acceptable to MetLife management including HR/Employee Relations/Legal as they believed that this was okay During the transition to Farmers, I contacted Dept. of Labor (OSHA) on the validity of the timesheets. Even though it was a moot point, the process was considered questionable as it impacts operational earnings to the P&C unit thus a violation of SOX for MetLife. The person wanted to started an investigation, but I did not pursue it. I believe that this behavior still remains at MetLife and some of you may have experienced this. I would like to hear the responses today from the cockroaches still at HR/Employee Relations/Legal still believing that this was acceptable. They can contact OSHA and make their case.
Looking at some of comments posted on this site, I see some questionable items supported by HR. From my experience, HR lied on what was documented to what actually happened. For example, the bridging for employees at retirement versus what Alight actually supports. During calculation for one annuity option, I caught one error that the Alight representative acknowledged. Regardless of what HR informs you, you have to double check what was stated versus what was documented. For example, Severance Plans and Benefits. Otherwise, always keep a paper trail in which MetLife does not like.
Best of luck and it is nice to hear that Khalaf "Monk" is leaving as MetLife's CEO. Yes, it was comical watching those town hall meetings during the pandemic and thinking about the TV show as Khalaf was talking.
Gas lighting.
The Transition plans are the same as they were.
Do they actually give severance? I heard you must fight with them.
Are they better or worse?
What's the update to the plans? It was something like two weeks pay for every $5K in salary up to $80K and 1 week per year. Is that right? What is it now?
Details?
Hey -hey-hey-- be careful not to violate the email policy!
Not to worry, inept AVPs are safe and will certainly have a Merry Christmas. Also, Christmas doesn't exist to this now non-American company. Can any of the ELT muster the courage to utter the words, "Merry Christmas"?
Firing people for Christmas.
