Thread regarding Corebridge Financial layoffs

I was really hopeful that RTO would be successful, but from what I can tell most smaller teams will be split across multiple offices and so we will still spend much of our days on Teams meetings instead of meeting in person (after commuting 2 plus hours a day for many). :(

Can’t wait to go back and see all my work friends. Of wait, they were all outsourced

Can’t wait to go back and talk about all the US based workers who were replaced.

I am one of those, but about 20 miles from the Houston office. Go in about 1-2/week when there is a full week. Told my last day is year end and i am getting 100% of my bonus. Good luck.

This will significantly reduce my productivity. I currently work many more hours a week because I can do so at home. And I often logon later at night to work on things that people send me after hours. Add in almost 4 hours a day commute and I won’t be able to do this anymore. And my in office productivity per hour is much lower die to the ergonomics, distractions and difficulty finding meeting rooms. We have built entirely new processes in the last 4 years that work in an almost fully remote world, they won’t works the same in a hybrid world. And I fully expect some people whose work for me to leave the company next year as a result of this

Glad I'm gone from this crud hole of a company...leave this horrid place.

3 days a week mandate is too much for many. Many people who live 50 miles away from the office hubs have a 2.5 to 3 hour commute each way!

I agree. Remote work was the only saving grace left, and RTO is the last straw. It's time to move on.

Leadership have confused people getting together for collaboration and teamwork with a mandate to be in the office. Who says we can't collaborate and innovate with going to the office 3x a month or quarter... 3x a week is a random mandate that doesn't correlate to the goal. Not to mention they already shipped half of my department to India anyway.
There will be a significant amount of resignations coming from this... but my gut tells me Leadership doesn't care as all they want to do is cut costs anyway.

I heard talk of them opening additional offices for those outside the 50 miles. The whole thing’s a slap in the face after already doing massive layoffs after separation. Can’t wait to see their top talent walk out like with AIG lol.

After covid, my team scattered to the wind, all over the country. There's literally no point in going into the office for "culture" and "collaboration" when I'm sitting at a desk all by myself, talking to everyone on Teams.

Feels like a soft layoff to me.
