I was laid off from TIAA in New York City a long time ago. It seems ever since they relocated major parts of their Operations, first to Denver, CO and then to Charlotte, NC with major presence in Dallas, TX, they've been laying off people on a... — read more
Wow… I’m shocked.
Hi, I was based in the NY office since 2016 and I was laid off last year because of budgetary reasons within the CAO dept. I’ve still had a few contacts within the New York office and within the other offices since I know a lot of the people within... — read more
Retire Inequality
I wonder if there has been any tangible results of the retire inequality/wyclef pusha T collaboration? Or was the money just wasted and went in the artist’s pocket? Seems like it would be an easy news story to research. If truly effective…. why... — read more
Is my job in danger?
I recently had my annual review with my manager. I'm a little above a 2.5 and did not receive a bonus. I've been on a written warning for my ACW being 2+ mins. I've since improved and have gotten it below 2 mins and yet I'm receiving another warning... — read more
TIAA Experiance
This used to be a great place to work, but since the new CEO took over it has in a death spiral. Worked there for 23 years and finally had enough and walked.
annual town hall
I came here for entertainment and not even a single post on this town hall yet?
Annual review bonus shafts
Anyone else perform really well the prior year only to get shafted into a lower performance rating? Heard from colleague in one department of being told by leadership the whole organization is getting the same rating number. Guess filling out self... — read more
T
There were ups and down at TIAA since 1996 but unlike with this leadership it is unsure where TIAA is going. 1500 folks transferred to Accenture and people who were retained was due to their connections with management. It is number game projection... — read more
TIAA Layoffs in Syracuse
Financial advisor laid off and person who telephoned me to reschedule indicated higher ups and many more people affected. This is a superb and diversifying woman.
more layoffs today (1/27/25)
Spouse works there. 100+ more people were laid off today, including some in Dallas (where the Denver office will be relocating by 2026). WTF is wrong with this company?
100 + Layoffs in Retirement
T has a habit of being out of the country on one boondoggle or another when significant employment action takes place.. This time she’s living it up in Davos Switzerland with her cronies (at significant expense) while 100 people lost their jobs. — read more
Negotiate severance agreements
I hear a few folks let go yesterday are working with attorneys to re negotiate the severance terms. Is that even possible?
Any more surprises this week?
To those affected—don’t take it to heart. You’ll find something better, and you'll eventually be glad you’re no longer part of this sh-tshow.
Something is going down today…
Have an all hands update call for this morning that was put on our calendars last night. Anyone know anything?
Since TIAA is considered Federal Contractors, will Trump Exec Order about FULL RTO apply???
If you recall during the plandemic, TIAA was subject to the vack seen mandates. Since technically they are Federal Contractors, they were also subject to certain federal guidelines. So with the Trump Executive Order signed just minutes ago... — read more
New Job
I got a new job and need to join mid February before the bonus is paid out. Folks please help what are my options, can I join the company and take two weeks PTO. Get my bonus and peace out without the notice. I am licensed in my current role at TIAA... — read more
Layoffs happening next week?
Anyone have any intel ? Hearing it’s a sizable number
What’s going on with Frisco?
Been hearing we can’t seem to hire anyone there. Know there is some kind of quota needed for tax benefits but Frisco is one of if not the biggest remote cities in the country … someone didn’t do any research since who would work for TIAA in DFW... — read more
Monitoring Outlook Calendars?
What is up with the fire drill to have immediate access to outlook calendars to see ‘all meeting details’ ? It’s insulting. Micro mgmt at its worst. Big brother. All of it. What is going on and why the urgency?
Bonus
I am expecting a 2 rating in Feb due to a verbal warning. Will I get a bonus this year ?
Broken Promises. No Guarantees.
A year ago I was extremely happy working at TIAA despite its flaws (which all large employers have). I was excited to earn a promotion soon and genuinely enjoyed the people in my department. The future had potential. Fast forward to now, this... — read more
No raises redux
cross post from fish bowl: Standard raises of 3% unless you got a promotion for those under 100k. Anyone over 100k no raises. Of course that will not include senior leaders who received 8% raises last year while the rest of us got 0%.
Retirement Plan
Does anyone know how the retirement plan for employees is distributed if you are over 60 and either quit or are laid off (not the 401k)? Can the employee request a lump sum draw from the TIAA retirement plan or does TIAA control the distribution? ... — read more
Quiet layoffs still going on?
People have been reporting small groups being laid off for weeks now. Any updates on that front?
3 swipes, not worth it.
I find myself here in the office for my swipe trying to avoid some BS email. I got sideswiped on the way to work. And wonder is this sh-t worth it? You know this began as a hissy fit from Temu. She showed up on a Monday and got mad no one else did... — read more
3rd Quarter Results
Net Loss $462 million. Folks, this cannot continue.
Data breach
I just noticed my SSN was exposed by TIAA and found that they have exposed data of 2.4 million customers. Why is this not reported on the tiaa website? Here is the link to the... — read more
Accenture Transition
So is everyone who will move over to Accenture already aware that they’ll be moved? I know the first wave is in December. But what about the others? Is TIAA still deciding who else will be moved?
XMAS BONUS?
It would be amazing to get an extra $1000+ as a Inflation Adjustment Christmas stipend. Yes inflation has slowed down but property taxes and the cost of food still has me eating Top Ramen and Pop Tarts.. Just like in college :) , and there's plenty... — read more
Things feel off
Things feel off around the company this week. Can someone spill the beans on what the he-l is going on?
Bossware Upending TIAA
https://www.wired.com/story/creepy-rise-bossware/
I’ve been thinking about finally leaving
I’ve been with TIAA for years. It doesn't even resemble itself from the time I came onboard. This past year in particular has been tense and stressful. I also don’t see a particularly bright future ahead. I already started looking for another job... — read more
Denver Closure
I heard the details were released this week. Did TIAA come to their senses and let everyone have the option of transferring to Charlotte if they weren’t interested in Texas?
CEO Titles
Anyone know the reasoning behind these new bogus CEO titles for David Nasson and Kourtney Gibson? They were already the heads of those departments, so what do they need CEO titles for?
LRC
The atmosphere is super tense. Next couple weeks will be very interesting, teams are being lined up already and being asked about what they do
Winning with our people?
It’s crazy that Claire’s message about how we are winning with our people and how she values us all so much is still the first thing on the intranet the same day the Denver folks are getting their severance dates.
How the pendulum has swung
Isn’t it crazy that 2 years ago we had a party on an island with a C list rapper? Who we then paid to create a song about “retirement”(?) a year ago? EssenceFest, discussing Super Bowl commercials, it was crazy. And now? Every penny must be... — read more
