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 

I hear a few folks let go yesterday are working with attorneys to re negotiate the severance terms. Is that even possible?

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.

Have an all hands update call for this morning that was put on our calendars last night. Anyone know anything?

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

Anyone have any intel ? Hearing it’s a sizable number

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 

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?

I am expecting a 2 rating in Feb due to a verbal warning. Will I get a bonus this year ?

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 

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%.

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 

People have been reporting small groups being laid off for weeks now. Any updates on that front?

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 

Net Loss $462 million. Folks, this cannot continue.

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 

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?

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

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?

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?

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

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.

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

Legal, risk and compliance planning more layoffs? Seems odd to accelerate self evals relative to enterprise deadline, especially with rumors of mandated budget cuts from the top.

I’ve heard suspicions of more layoffs coming before the end of the year, but nothing factual. Has anyone heard otherwise?

It has been more than a year since we sold the Bank. One thing I found odd about this transaction is that the sale amount was never disclosed for this transaction. One would assume that because we seemed so desperate to end the relationship that we... — read more
