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 

I’ve been trying to get healthier this year by eating more fresh fruits and veg, fewer processed foods, and being consistently active throughout the day. I find that my legs feel better when they’re moving throughout the workday. Does the CLT office... — read more 

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.

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?

I see some jobs that only list the NYC or Frisco as office locations on Workday, are those negotiable at all? Wondering if I currently report to the Charlotte office and want to apply if I could stay here or would need to move.

Does anyone have experience with this option? Is there a maximum age you can execute this? The reason I am asking is that I am hesitant to commit to a fix life time annuity now with the DOW down 5,000 points since the start of the war. I understand... — read more

A little birdie told me that T was in Orlando with all the top performers in Wealth last week, but refused to interact with anyone. Any truth to this? Did she look like she wanted to be somewhere else? What was the vibe like? You'd think that a... — read more 

Why does leadership expect us to be in the office if there’s never enough seating? Why do people reserve seats everyday and never show up? Why are we even allowed to reserve seats in the first place for weeks out??

Why is this leadership incapable of being fully transparent? They let us sit in uncertainty, guessing and hoping to hear something official that rarely arrives before we already managed to find out what's coming. Do they really not see how that's... — read more 

I heard this is coming in late 2026

A lot of quiet quitters and underperformers on this forum

Anyone have details, or is this all just guessing?

If you want to spend more of your time chilling at home and spending time with your cats, why did you apply to TIAA in the first place? The 3 days rule has in place for years..they only started to enforce it for real recently.

Those who are too lazy to be in the office for 3-4 days a week don't care about their job and their career

Is there a resource in Workday or on the Intranet with information on job levels? There are open roles in my job level but the titles senior to mine. I’d like to understand how titles align with levels and if there are parameters around levels of new... — read more 

Turns out there was actually a real annual layoff recently, not related to the Coffee Badging thing, even though this enforcement accelerated greatly and many people were laid off for that too. But it is odd that the annual layoff where people were... — read more

I want to start off saying that the TIAA associates and people I've worked with are great but the silos and Management are running the firm and the associates into the ground which only hurts participants. Having worked here for a long time until... — read more

Love this company , and my CEO ! Tiaa is a great company that does wonderful things for its participants , we are lucky to have a thoughtful ceo and leadership team . And all of my fellow colleagues are gems .

Like working at a coffee shop, airport, hotel etc... assuming I connect to the Cisco VPN I should be good, right? Or is it against company policy? Should I just use my phones hotspot?

Heard that some people were laid off a few days ago. Any idea about this?

i was born yesterday but could someone explain.

I know of 3 people who got warnings today, and one of them was fired. Supposedly the one that was fired was averaging 4 hours per day and would leave after lunch. Seems like half of TIAA will be let go

People who communicated clearly and made you believe in the direction. Those people are gone. The ones running things now, I can't even follow their sentences half the time. Don't even get me started on the strategy. No idea what it is. They promote... — read more

They'll take your dedication, thank you for it, then lay you off like it's nothing. Don't be loyal to a place that sees you as replaceable. Learn from those of us who've been through it.

From the time TIAA received my paperwork in good order until the time they transferred the money out, it took over 35 days. Like, wtf? Shouldn’t the more than a few days. What goes on?

Based on the other thread seems like it’s possible, although not sure if only HR can view that or if managers get that report as well. Any managers here can confirm or refute this?
