When taking PTO and FMLA protected days is it normal procedure for those days to be used against you and written in your final write up for the year? I feel like TM’s may be opening State Farm up for a potential lawsuits.

Does anyone know what the big life meeting is about tomorrow? I’m worried a return to office demand is on the way.

The only post I see here that has anything to do with layoffs, is about GEICO layoffs.

Why is this no longer the place where people like to work?

SF could reduce employee turnover if it wanted to, but it seems that turnover is still not a concern of our leadership, given that they are not doing anything effective about it. I wonder when they will finally realize how many problems arise from... — read more 

I think this is an important read. I hope Tipsord gets over being motivated by personal wealth. He should donate his outrageous bonus to improve operations and salaries at the front line. How can the Board agree to this, it is a back scratching... — read more 

Let's hope in 2023 SF new years resolution is to take care of those who take care of the day to day customer keeping the promise.

When will this co realize that when a dept is so bad they need a reorg, its not the low level employees who are responsible, its the people in leadership making all the bad decisions that are the problem!. Do you honestly think your going to fix all... — read more 

I work in SFPP. For the most part, this is a cushy job within State Farm. I am also trained in SFBilling (modernization) which is a nightmare but still cushy compared to claims. Lately, I have seen a giant uptick in hold times in SFPP/SFBilling... — read more 

State Farm eliminated pension and look at the stock market and the values of average 401Ks tanking. The newbies they are forcing the Kool AID to will never be able to retire. The results of d-mbing Merica.

Nothing else, just enjoy..... :-)

Rumored again.

I don't know what the reason for that is - either they are incompetent, or they don't care or maybe they don't try hard enough to get the best out of people.... I wonder if the situation is any better in this regard in other companies in the... — read more 

Overtime mandatory over a year now. Seems management should be held accountable since it’s obviously not working and costing the company a fortune!

I notice the underwriting assistant positions say hourly so I'm assuming maybe the underwriting position is a flat rate and even if you work overtime you won't make more but would like to confirm. Thanks.

This place now is just a shadow of the company it used to be. It is not strange that those with the greatest talent left, but it is strange that some (although very few) are still here. - I am not sure if the leadership is aware of the consequences... — read more 

While some teams are overstaffed, often with employees for whom no one knows what they are doing, other teams do not have enough employees to function successfully. Will there ever be a balance here?

So....as a retired SF person, I have a question..... Does anyone who is actually still employed there believe all the horses**t that is put up on this site? I retired 3 years ago after 20 years at the 'Farm', and after having worked at several... — read more 

So in the next month or so you are going to hear about the biggest loss in SF history. We had a $15 billion dollar loss in net worth and a $5 billion dollar U/W loss. $20+ billion total! That is enormous and beyond belief. SF is also shutting down... — read more 

Hiring new people without providing them with adequate training...isn't that a terrible waste of money? This way they are not enabled to adapt easily, they are literally lost at their new jobs and of course they end up leaving unsatisfied. I... — read more 

Is quiet quitting a bad thing? Have many managers and analysts quietly quit?

Core values are vital for the success of any company. What are the core values of SF right now? If you ask me, the leadership has completely lost sight of them. They no longer have any vision for the company or care about the future of this... — read more 

It takes about half a year before a new hire knows if he/she liked a company and whether he/she can fit into the company's culture. But have you noticed how newbies stay shorter and shorter? If I were the leadership, this would be a worry for me. — read more 

Rumor is that State Farm monitors this page. I hope so. They don't give employees a voice anywhere else. Read this! ... — read more 

Wow! This is some BS. Yet again raise the base a F@ck the people who have been doing the job. How about raising everyone since you know that the salaries are not enough. Here is a raise and oh sorry it was absorbed because we need more people... — read more

20 plus years. 10 in leadership. A year of interviewing for a promotion from MG2 to MG3 and not even a bite. I’m remote and apparently not worth a relo to the company. Seems they throw out one bone to relo folks per wave. But that’s it for me... — read more 

I was laid off after 8 years with the company in 2019. I never looked back and now I'm an independent consultant doing what I love. There is life after this job, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Does SF claims still do the silly morning meeting with the board and everyones stats?

So we’re down in the the mud struggling while the CEO got a $22.4mil bonus on top of his 2.1mil salary. So we only need to save money so that he can buy a summer home.
