I know it has been said a million times on here but I hate this place! Been here too long to leave and just trying to survive each day. It's hard to believe SF could become any more toxic but it has. Upper leadership is just the bottom of the... — read more 

I've worked at SF in ET for 15+ years and this is the worst it has ever been. No one is engaged. Everyone is checked out just doing the minimum to get by. I know my team output has probably dropped 50-60% over the last couple of years. We don't care... — read more 

What will MIP look like this year?

Currently working in underwriting. My class has failed observations a few times and on our final attempt. Can the company fire everyone who didn't pass on the last attempt? Over half the class failed.

How much waste and inefficiency is there that are baked into the premiums?

How you can tell any company has problems is when it gets so big that leadership cannot get out from behind their desk and computer to personally visit and see their subordinates. It raises the question: What are they hiding? Can't say they don't... — read more 

This site, years ago, provided some timely information on changes within the Company. It has now deteriorated into a playground for two or three people that call each other names and bring politics into a non political topic. It is a poor reflection... — read more 

Poor G.J. Started State Farm because he felt it was unfair for country auto owners to pay the same rates as city auto owners. Now G.J. rolls in his crypt as to what has become of his beloved State Farm. It hurts his soul to see the greed, arrogance... — read more 

So I’m newly moved to a hub and have now spent a little over a year and a half going into the office one week a month. To me it’s terrible. Desks rarely operate at 100% (monitors, keyboards gone, CPU missing) and it is incredibly frustrating after... — read more 

If State Farm offered buyouts would you take it?

SF was once a premier employer! We had awesome benefits including PSL, COLA, and performance cash/merit was excellent. We worked hard and played hard with many more good days than bad. If a member of leadership told you something you could pretty... — read more 

The title says it all. It appears they’re making up for the increase in salary in 24 by reducing ratings to deserving hard working employees. #getwhatyoupayfor

SF has lived and died on "It's a business decision." Pulling out of California during the largest fire in history speaks volumes about their "All about me" attitude to both their employees and the customers. I hope they enjoy flying around in... — read more

Five years of putting up with an angry manager and constant nitpicking wore me down. Getting treated like I couldn’t handle anything, with every tiny mistake blown out of proportion, was exhausting. On top of that, the micromanaging and feeling... — read more 

I was just wondering if underwriting ever updated their pathetic 1980’s green screen systems that they were still using as of 5 years ago when I left. At that time, they claimed that they were working on creating a new program that would be released... — read more 

So far for the years 2022 and 2023 they have lost $28 BILLION in losses. I bet it will be the same for 2024……as a few days remain this year…..that would equal $42 BILLION which would fund a war against China. Failed executive leadership

I'm starting to worry we are in the "calm before the storm" period.

Heard that State Farm is announcing a mandatory buy out of all Legacy PTO banks. Is it true?

Word on the street is SMs and CMs will eventually be coming into office, two weeks a monthnit seems. It will be trickling down to the rest of us in due time. Don't know about ya'll but I ain't coming into the office, they were pushing it with even... — read more

Is there any truth to HCL giving bonuses to rebadgers they want to retain? If they did, those who did not get the bonus are getting cut?

SF is removing EV charging stations from its parking decks at Corporate and Corporate South, and at Hubs, due to fire hazards that “cannot be mitigated”. Isn’t charging these EVs fundamental? If it’s such a fire risk to charge them, then nobody... — read more

2022 and 2023 recording breaking $28 billion net underwriting loss….so here we are 2024 almost the end of the 3rd qtr….are we gonna be $1o billion loss for a total of $38 billion ? Any guess ?

I've been gone from State Farm for more than two years, so I'm curious, has the management finally succeeded in slashing their way to profitability, or are they still working on it?
