Will Denver employees be offered severance packages if they choose to not relocate to Texas?

Private Asset Management (PAM) just had three senior PM departures… all CFAs… in the last week. PAM hasn’t hired a new CFA in the last year- I guess the “subscribe or die” wasn’t a good idea from the RDs. The role is turning into a relationship... — read more 

Sweet! More time to color like we’re in corporate kindergarten. 😒 Can they fire whoever keeps putting out the coloring sheets in CLT? It’s insulting when we haven’t had raises in years but hey here’s some coloring sheets and crochet... — read more

More client losses and job cuts for TIAA. The only thing go for us is the TIAA Traditonal restriction. If there were no surrenders or timing restrictions on that fund, our ratings would tank in a NYC minute.

Look at that - “recognition” and “pay and performance” dropped 7 points - who’d have thunk it. What doesn’t get called out is the senior leadership items. “Senior Leader Trust” is down 8 points since the full survey in March 2023 and is well below... — read more

Is 2 weeks required? Thinking about quitting after bonuses next year, or end of this year. Would I need to give 2 weeks notice? Does HR conduct exit interviews? Has anyone been offered even more money to stay?

Leadership is questioning the need for all the open positions, so good luck getting headcount anytime soon.

Net income negative $407,362,484.00 Capital & Surplus down $551 million. On a positive note: The New York Liberty defeated The Washington Mystics 86-78 in WNBA action.

This company is going backward not forward. Not paying associates fairly, no raises in 3+ years for most, forcing RTO at the expense of talented tenured associates yet promoting AI and other technologies that people have experience with in other... — read more 

And if so, would you be honest or say nothing not to burn any bridges? I'm tempted to just be completely honest, but I know it's risky.

I am a manager of a sizeable team and an associate came into my office yesterday in tears. She is having trouble making ends meet -- her rent has gone up 15% over the past 3 years, day care is increasingly unaffordable AND her salary has been flat... — read more 

Derek Ferguson is scheduled to testify today in Diddy trial in New York. This should be very interesting testimony. He managed Diddy’s company and personal finances so he has to have a ton of information.

I work in a very small niche part of the company. Very client facing, including many of the largest institutions. Also our work affects thousands of plan participants directly. They decided to shutter the unit, with virtually no time to transition... — read more

The CIO of Nuveen was abruptly replaced without any explanation. Any idea what happened?

Couple years with no raise. What y’all doing to make ends meet?

Noting drains a high performer faster than realizing their reward for excellence is cleaning up someone else's incompetence. If you know you know

Given the general employee negativity and likely eroding revenue, would it make sense to start taking income earlier to at least get something? Can’t imagine TIAA being in better shape 10-20 years from now…. Curious what you guys think.

But before the ship sinks, leadership’s already pointing fingers at everyone below them. Feels like we’re just here to take the fall for their bad calls. What’s the point anymore? Classic corporate playbook: sc--w up majorly, then act like it’s our... — read more 

I have an offer for another company. But apparently I have to give a 4 week notice. How ridged is TIAA on this?
