Liberty Mutual Insurance reviews

They just laid off almost 150 loss prevention employees, with an average age of about 52, and with over 20 years average experience. They kept all the young, inexperienced kids. If you are of retirement age (55 plus) chances are you are being laid off.

In the last couple of years that I was there, the focus turned from being a supportive environment to money, money, money. One year, they gave us crystal things that said something like LM made billions of dollars. A few weeks later, they pleaded poverty and fired people. They chopped the neck off the company. The bloated head stayed and the bottom feeders flourished, but they fired good decent people many of whom had given 20, 30 or even more years to the company. My last boss was a venal person who took great pains to find your weaknesses and exploit them. I was told that I had a terrible reputation with another department of about 60 people and when I questioned further, I was told that ONE person had expressed a negative opinion of me in a survey and everyone else had either not responded or had said positive things. That one negative comment was used to deny me a raise. I was downsized shortly thereafter. Also, LM had really expensive health insurance and you could only get it from Aetna, which coincidentally is where Ted Kelly, the chairman of LM, used to work. How is it that such a large company can't negotiate better health insurance deals?
