There are no layoffs; 89 workers will be re-offered their existing jobs or newly created positions, but the conditions of their employment will change to "virtual" call centers.
Instead of an office just south of the Michigan Road/Interstate 465 interchange, they'll work out of their residences using their computers and telephones, said David Hammarstrom, spokesman for New York-based MetLife.
Indy is one of just a few offices where the satellite approach is being implemented as a cost-saving measure.
