Is a disaster! Whose bright idea was it to set things up like this?? I’m an IA and am in my first year in the industry. I’m on a deployment where we received zero training and it’s clear that no one else has either. It’s a complete cluster, and we... — read more 

I hope that there are still managers here who manage in the right way, by really trying to get the best out of people. What I see a lot instead is taking advantage of the employees' fears of losing their jobs in order to squeeze them. Anyway, I... — read more 

Has anyone reported their boss to HR at State Farm? I am afraid of retaliation and can't leave my job to apply internally as I have 8 months left in incumbency period. I would prefer to stay with State Farm, find another job within, but not sure how... — read more 

The fact that it’s nearly impossible to take time off, which is needed to recharge and for mental reset, is the biggest issue. People being required to do the work of 3-5 people at all times with constant OT and when you have upcoming PTO you have to... — read more

Perhaps it's just my impression, but it seems to me that the belittling of employees has never been more present here than it is now. If the boss sets very unrealistic goals and then criticizes us of being incapable to meet them, what's the big... — read more 

Well folks today was my last day at the farm. Thanks for paying for my education that has allowed me to find another opportunity that pays more. Today was great to release the Golden cuffs I was locked into for so many years with the lack of... — read more 

Some will say that these are not complaints but criticism that the leadership will not even hear, but still... is it really that much worse here than in other companies in the industry? Everyone has their priorities, but my opinion is that it is... — read more 

Has anyone heard rumors or know where the next cuts are going to be?

Tipsord said the analytics “got the frequency picks right” but the insurer “missed severity badly.”“We did not anticipate the inflationary pressures,” he said, and they did not fully appreciate the effect of the lockdown on the court system. (Yeah... — read more 

I am interested in what those who have been here for several years or more will have to say.

SMs and above in Express have told TMs they are being too nice and need to start PM over things like handle time. Peons get ready.

Who are the winners if this one?

One of the long lasting issues with management. You get CS that gets promoted to a manager role BUT that person has never actually worked the actual job or a claim in that segment. Why would you put a CS into a manager role in a different department... — read more 

Does anyone actually like how they run this company? I doubt there are many of you who do.

There are extensive rumors of Information Security layoffs. The rumors are all but confirmed for externals. What’s reality here?

State Farm is transitioning all 401K investments to Vanguard which is heavily involved in ESG. As this type of investigating violates their fiduciary responsibility, a class action suit on behalf of all employees is a viable option.

People sometimes comment on all the ways this company could be recovered. The only problem is, I haven't noticed that our leadership has any desire to do it!?

Information Security leadership is in a bad place. The only useful Director left the company this week. In a showcase this week, the first line leaders were awful and did not understand their own teams and how their work affects the business... — read more

Joining management, I haven’t felt the need to come on this site. Maybe you all should just… idk… grow up and come drink the Koolaid. It’s hot outside.

Anybody know what the meeting is about? Seems very important and urgent.

They all drink the same Kool Aid and scheme together! Good for their employees! Exactly like State Farm! https://insurancenewsnet.com/innarticle/nationwide-adjusters-make-6-demands-to-rectify-overwork-concerns

"In 2019, 9.4% of State Farm employees quit their jobs, compared to 3% of Americans who quit their jobs in August 2019, the highest quit rate recorded by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. State Farm workers with longer tenure are more likely to stay:... — read more 

I am ashamed to say that I still work here. How did leaders manage to destroy the company's reputation like this? Unbelievable.

Our location is going through and effort to consolidate use of office space. I get that, but at the same time all the spaces they are creating have the short cubicle walls. Going into office creates enough distraction why make it worse with the short... — read more 

Lets see there was a record breaking 13.2 billion underwriting loss for 2022 and has the amount of his bonus check been revealed ?

The quality of the employees is no longer important here. That wasn't the case in the past.

One reason State Farm is doing soooo much hiring and is about to be overstaffed, is they are going to freeze the pension for pension eligible employees. People already receiving benefits will be fine for now. I know it has been mentioned a lot as... — read more

With Covid over, what’s the future of hybrid work? Do you all think they will try to get people in the offices more than what they are now? Also the job market seems to be shifting a bit. What does 2024 hold for us?

Perhaps I'm wrong but my impression is that the new employees never stayed here for a shorter time. What a colossal waste of resources by the company! What's the shortest time you know someone has stayed here?

Are agents just not training new team members anymore? I work in SFPP and the number of calls we’ve gotten from people whose aliases start with VAD and VAE who don’t have the slightest clue how to do their jobs have increased exponentially. — read more

I have absolutely no explanation why this company looks favorably on slackers. They totally ignore the negative effects that slackers have on hard working employees.

The site name implies that it is about LAYOFFS. Maybe they should change it ???? Nothing but Moanin', Groanin', Complainin' goin on here......
