Thread regarding MetLife Inc. layoffs

@3ibl+1fdLlwMS

Oh I'm sure 3% is a valid number somewhere.

With that said, I have first-hand knowledge that attrition in many business units is FAR FAR above 3%. I can't name any business units, however Met is definitely aware as they're getting ki---d in the costs to replace all of the employees that have left. Mind you, these are employees that HAVE to be replaced.

It's in the millions of dollars and I guess it's finally risen high enough up that they're trying to do something about it. It being losing money, not losing people.

@1zdu+1fdLlwMS I agree it sounds like BS but there's a post on Yammer right now from HR claiming that. It made me scratch my head at how that number was arrived at.

@ikf+1fdLlwMS

3% is a complete and total fabrication.

Forget rto
You want to come in then come in... If not stay home

But the vaxed don't want the vaxxed in the office

supposedly turnover is only up 3% from its usual place last year. maybe everyone waiting for avip before jumping ship.

Strong, respectable leadership can't even say a darn RTO date. What the heck is going on here? Looks like they ran out of gas....

You can disagree all you want. For the last 3 or 4 years I have absolutely laid into all leadership in those survey. No repercussion, bonus and raise exactly what I would have expected. You really have to cross a line for them to go track down who youare.

I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you (@jzo+1fdLlwMS) there on the surveys.

Less than full candor surveys and non-participation in the survey isn't the problem.

First, despite what black jacket said in her article that they posted on MyMetLife recently, MyVoice only promised "confidentiality". She implied in the article that they were protecting the "anonymity" of the employees. Big difference between anonymous and confidential.

Second, if the executives believe the surveys, they don't deserve to be executives. They can easily look at real data like attrition. Each manager should have the pulse of their group and shouldn't need a survey to know it. That's part of THEIR job.

If its not a question a Wall St. analyst asks then they don't care.

Thanks to all the dolts who give positive feedback on the surveys in fear of being identified though, you people make the situation way worse giving leadership false hope. Or the ones who don't take it at all.

But, but earnings are up!

We're getting 40% returns on our investments.

So no, we don't really care who is burned out as long as you all don't make the MyVoice survey results look worse than our peers.

Let's question the many undefined and bloated AVP roles within the organization, as they truly do nothing all day, every day. There's the cost savings right there, EG! Let's lattice these AVPs back into the trenches and give them some real work to do.
