It’s nice to see you thought so highly of your work peers. Having great co-workers really can make a huge difference in our work experience. As Symetra continues to rapidly grow, we are excited to increase staffing to service our ever expanding book of business. When employees feel overloaded, our hope is that they make it known with their manager and/or HR Business Partner.

I am also a fan of the work/life balance and I’ve heard similar feedback from employees over the years. I think it’s one of the many reasons Symetra was named as a Great Place to Work® earlier this year. Your note about Symetra being heavily political, though, is concerning and if you’re willing, I would love to be able to chat about that a little more. I can be reached at erin.woltz@symetra.com.

Happy to hear you felt the immediate managers on your team were supportive but it sounds like we have some opportunities for our senior leaders to lean in more. I hope you were able to share more specific feedback with your HR Business Partner before you left Symetra.
