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?

The rot is so deeply engrained in all aspects of the culture and at every level, it will never be fixed. TIAA is dying a slow death. The only question is who buys the corpse before it totally decays. The company was built on a mindset of a... — read more 

I have an offer for a leader role in the technology space. Its interesting work based out of the Dallas area. Is TIAA as bad as this board suggests? Everyone I have interviewed with has been fantastic with a long tenure. Thoughts?

Heard that an announcement is coming this week that a certain group of "low on the totem pole" employees will be required to be in the office 5 days/week. Yeah, it's the AA's. And if true, I doubt it will stop with them. That whole "hybrid is the new... — read more 

Is the $25k that they’re giving you to move to TX enough to cover moving fees and your mortgage for the year?

We need to layoff 1,200 workers! Labor costs are too high. But this week in Charlotte, let’s have a “coloring contest” and “crochet lessons”!!!!! So much productivity! I’m sure this won’t be a huge waste of time and we won’t feel like we are... — read more 

I don’t work for TIAA and I never have. The company recently posted some jobs that align with my skills and experience and I’m considering applying. However, I stumbled upon this website and I’m having second thoughts. Unfortunately, it seems the... — read more 

I see so many walking away and I wonder what's the thing that ends up being the last straw. Pay, burnout, feeling invisible, or something else entirely?

In the dimly lit private room of an upscale steakhouse in Charlotte, five members of the Senior Leadership Team clinked their glasses together in a silent toast. The mood was triumphant, but there was an air of quiet tension—no one wanted to be the... — read more 

Does anyone have any insight as to how many people are actually moving to Frisco from Denver? I have a feeling my team and others will be badly affected and TIAA will likely drag their feet with replacements if replacements even happen. I wish I... — read more 

You have to be really obtuse to not see it happening. While longtime staff is heading for the exits, leadership layers seem to multiply. Meanwhile, the same tired "restructuring" buzzwords keep getting recycled as morale tanks. Is anyone else... — read more 

It has never felt this demoralizing and hopeless since I joined. I can barely drag myself to work anymore.

Looks like a $1.2bn net loss in 2024 per the most recently released financial statements.

I am sorry to ourTCSG associates but it looks like the writing is on the wall. Once the knowledge transfer is complete and the trust company is caught up, most of the trust positions are going to be outsourced.

What did everyone’s LTPP payout for the 3 years of vesting this year? I see ~3% per year or 9% total. CDs are paying better.

Seems like Kourtney Gibson is the hatchet woman of the hour. Since January, she has been axing teams left and right. Heard that some long time leaders got the dreaded call yesterday.

I realize that nothing will ever change as a result of anything expressed on this site. For lack of a better explanation, it primarily exists for purposes of letting off steam. And with the understanding that this site is named TIAA Layoffs, as a... — read more 

The Accenture people have transitioned, the initial Jacksonville and Denver date has passed and there have been spot layoffs here and there but the company is still running just fine. Maybe all the doom and gloom here is unwarranted? There is a new... — read more 

They’re trying so hard to mask giving out 5’s on TDOSS call. Shout out to the guy who asked lol.

Shame on TIAA for not supervising the transition to Accenture. Accenture manipulated the "skill gaps" matrix knowing that nobody at TIAA is going to notice. I was a contactor in Web team and Accenture replaced me with a H1B sub contractor who is not... — read more 

Messaging is so vague that it a more confusing than informative. Guess the backslapping and congrats at the L3 and above continues…

Situation is what it is. I agree with all the posts regarding the disconnect between what is said publicly by executives and what actually happens behind the scenes. My thought process is that they will get out of RK and will slowly sell/close all... — read more 

We’ve seen the Faces of TIAA series where they pick some vanilla employee with a “feel good” story about how they love their job cause they have benefits and free parking or whatever. But we know that these aren’t real people with real stories... — read more 

What’s the point with the fabricated performance numbers for the how and what ratings?

hearing that all the cuts to staff are a strategic plan to sell the RK business and follow in the footsteps of Vanguard. cuts to areas that could have potential overlap with the new owner have been identified and is why there are cuts to seemingly... — read more

No raises? Bonuses sh---y?

Another year half the company getting no raise meanwhile EC will get 20%. How do they not act on this is beyond me.

Oh joy. It’s training time. We have so many trainings in too many waves. Like most don’t apply to us anyway, just a leadership CYA for everyone. I feel like we just got finished with these trainings. Why not consolidate trainings? it was a lot... — read more 

At least in finance. Notifications will go out today.

Looks like it’s starting at Nuveen.

Is it down? How far down?

No one understands either. Taking my brick for a Beamer. Let’s delight

If a company is instituting annoying and stupid policies, giving no raises and cr-p bonuses, it’s because they want you to leave. Yes, even you, the “top performer”. They don’t care if you leave. Your team might but your “CEO” doesn’t. They know the... — read more 

Use this thread to discuss today’s useless circlej… er, I mean call.

Only been a few days with last large move. But this week has been downright unbearable and heartbreakingly gloomy seeing all the empty desks and floors where our TIAA turned Accenture colleagues used to sit at each site. Feels pointless to go... — read more
