There is a lot of uncertainty revolving around the upcoming ACE merger. Before the acquisition, Chubb had started looking the staffing model in the underwriting centers to make the centers more streamlined from the process perspective. They also wanted to make sure that people had enough cycles to handle all the work they were tasked with.
Since the merger, this all stopped – WHY? It looks like everyone is expecting that ACE may turn things upside down, who knows? Let’s wait until the transition is completed, that’s what’s everyone is saying.
Yet, we never had enough staff to handle all the work they give us and people are burnt out – there is very little recognition even when you successfully handle the that’s much bigger than one person can handle.
Just listen to HR and you’ll hear them singing about "spot bonuses" that can be offered but I have never once witnessed one being given out – not in my group, maybe someone else but we deserve a double bonus here. Now, add to this that we barely pay market compensation, often we pay less as our benefits are somewhat better and it looks good on your resume.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!
