Not sure if others have noticed, but the Frisco executive center is now sharing space with Intuit employees. It’s been noticeably more crowded lately and it doesn’t feel like the same place it was when we first moved in. Which honestly brings up... — read more
Do you keep in touch with your former coworkers?
Mainly those who were laid off? I'm just curious, because for me, as soon as they're gone, that's usually the last I hear from them, or they hear from me.

Hearing rumors going on about this.. can anyone here 'in the know' confirm?

Which teams/departments/roles in IT have good WLB?

Ive seen quite a few positions pop-up. Is it stressful?
How long do you have to be in your current position before you can apply internally again?
Been with the company for 5 year, first 4 1/2 years in the same role. Applied internally for another role and got the job 6 months ago. I see another role that I think is a better fit for me, am I allowed to apply or do I need to stay longer at my... — read more

Only asking people who know the answer - if I add this app to my I-phone can the company now track my location at all times? Can it now see If I am spending any time during the day talking on my cell phone?

We know cyber got hit recently… anyone knows who’s next?
Odd Recent Layoffs
Someone I know was let go for continuously clogging toilets in Biggs. I was told this by someone on the People Team that would know. And no they didn’t clog them the way you think, but rather they were caught flushing wads of paper towels and plastic... — read more
Coffee badging
Heard several people were impacted with the latest wave of ‘Coffee Badging’, anyone know what metric and timeframe this is for? I heard they were going to pull reports from January-May for those under 7 hours a day, can any manager here confirm?
Are the layoffs over??
Many people on my team in cyber are worried they’re next. Some well loved employees have already been let go and no one feels safe right now! One person told me they think leadership will replace her by moving her role to India. Has anyone heard... — read more
Termination Report
Is there a way to tell if someone got fired on the term report?
People just want out
Lately almost every conversation turns into someone talking about applying elsewhere, and a lot of them are willing to make less money if it means escaping this place. That says more about what working here has become than any employee survey ever... — read more

With gas prices rising at an astronomical rate, I've heard rumors that T is considering lowering the in-office average for the summer months to 2 days a week. Obviously this would be amazing for all of the employees who are suffering with increased... — read more

Billion dollar brokers? Ha!
Every so often I read a press release put out by some competitor that hired away one of our WMAs. They try to puff themselves up by saying “Stiffo Nickelback adds Billion dollar TIAA broker…”. What a joke. As if that advisor is going to bring over... — read more

How’s it going for everybody?
Big brother
I am kind of in shock that there are fellow TIAAers who would go out of their way to throw a fellow colleague under the bus. I’ve been here over a decade and I do not coffee badge. I’m in for 4-5 full days because I find more peace and quiet at the... — read more
Mediocrity central
This place is garbage. The employees are mediocre at best. I don't respect a single person I've worked with here. If you want no growth and endless politics for a decade, this is your spot.
Coffee badge reporting
Just like the other poster who reported a coffee badging colleague, I think it’s all our duty to do this. Coffee badging is a business code of conduct violation, as evidenced by the recent Code of Conduct training and the article about being... — read more
I walked away last October
I thought I'd feel better right away but I was so wrong. It took months. Months of not being there to undo what that toxic place did to me. They take everything. Your energy, your optimism, your sense of self. Getting it back takes time. I'm now so... — read more

May layoffs
Are rumors about May layoffs true?
Who’s got the tea on Tara Latini?
Looks like Tara is out unceremoniously. No ‘pursuing other opportunities’ or other corporate speak just ‘bye Felicia’. Who’s got the inside scoop?
Coffee badging
A couple months ago I reported an egregious coffee badging colleague at the Charlotte office. He habitually swipes his badge, plugs his laptop in, grabs a hot drink, then unplugs his laptop and disappears for the entire day. I then see him pop up... — read more

Any difference between working for TIAA and Nuveen?
Looking at applying for an internal role as a current TIAA employee, I see a few Nuveen roles. Curious if there’s any changes if being a Nuveen employee or if it’s virtually the same.
TIAA and Jason Day
What the he-l is the purpose of a golf ambassador? How much did this sponsorship cost and how many employees didn’t get raises or had their VC cut short because of this?
