Native to the area and worked in claims for 5 years. How are you guys surviving the rent increases and rental shortage? I took another job back in 2021 and moved pre Covid my rent was 625 and by 2021 it was 975. Looks like rivian is even expanding... — read more

Pride in our Service
I wonder if he believes everything he said or he just read the words the speech writers and lawyers gave him. https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/Keating-Panel-2-Testimony.pdf
DOH! The incompetence continues!

I have no idea why I'm still here
Somehow I’ve become that person who complains about work but still shows up every day even though the pay’s mediocre, the workload keeps growing, and morale is in the toilet. I keep applying for other jobs, but then I chicken out when offers come in... — read more
The calm before the storm

IS ANYONE RINNING THIS SHOW?
What is the direction of the company? Are they still focused on getting all jobs into the 4 hub sites?
PLEASE SOMEONE START A UNION.
I won't last long enough to see it. But please someone start one for the sake of the employees.

Lost my WFH position
TheLayoff.com Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs What happened to SF? Been here 15 years and the last few years have been next-level dysfunction. Constant reorgs, zero communication, and whiplash "priorities" that change weekly. New... — read more
Big changes coming this year
Big reduction in headcount. Especially for the longtimers. Who has the cojones to drop in some details. And to the ahole who always comments SF never has a layoff- you’re an id--t.
Anyone else regret
Leaving Progressive for SF?
One of the worst training I ever received from any corporation!
I don't think I wanna work at state farm anymore. I haven't graduated from training and dreading what production looks like. They don't train enough in underwriting department. Full of a bunch of petty pricks trying to get ahead. Nobody likes each... — read more

Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Every damn time them layoffs hit, I tell myself that's it, time to bail. But then I chicken out, thinkin' maybe things'll settle down for awhile. Except they never do. Next thing you know, another round hits even sooner, and here I am still takin'... — read more

People who are quiet quitting

I wouldn’t take a relocation package, even if there was one
Who in their right mind would move for a job these days? I’m supposed to uproot my whole family, have my wife leave her job, and force the kids to change schools - just to move to some hub and risk losing the job six months or a year later? The days... — read more

If I ran State Farm I would…
Finish the sentence “ If I ran State Farm I would…” Here is my completed sentence. If I ran State Farm I would end agency. I would cut layer upon layer of deadbeat useless management. State Farm needs to get lean and shed all the deadwood. 12th... — read more
Moving to Hubs
When will section managers be made to move to a hub? Some are already there and going into the offices. How can the company expect to get everything moved to the hubs when they don't even have the section managers there yet. Wonder if they will be... — read more

The Exec briefing was a clown show!

Looks like a voluntary round would be a big hit
So many folks seem to want to be laid off. So why not have a voluntary round? It's a win-win. People who want severance can get it, and people who want to stay don't have to worry about being cut. I'm among those who'd jump at the opportunity to... — read more

Anybody knows more about this?
Can’t beat them, join them!!

Remember when.....

Finally!!
Justice to many.
RETIREMENT
Why not offer early full retirement and get all the old timers with the higher salaries off the books? Then replace those folks in the hubs. Instead of doing right by the employees SF has a bad reputation of sc--wing its employees. They instead... — read more
Here is something fun to think about!
We are demonstrating some of our system tools to offshore replacements, and a week or two later being told to give them ADMIN access. This should be fun to watch!
Same old force people out tactics

In Office changes
TM came back from meeting. PTO during in Office weeks will be tracked so employee will need to make up the any in Office days missed. Basically no more using PTO to avoid coming into the office.
EIP/MIP
Nope! The checkbook goes to the customers in the south with tornados first! If customers aren't taken care of and huge MIP/EIP given, media will pursue. California was just a snack before the meal.
Bad apples spoiling a bunch?
The writing is on the wall with the hybrid changes coming.
