Thoughts on when the next layoffs round will take place?

A small monthly fee for representation, better benefits, and and most of all a better work environment is a small price to pay. It’s time.

Did anyone notice the deafening silence of SF plan to keep employees safe in the so called hybrid return to office? A website with rules is not even adequate. Just pretend it isn’t happening and maybe employees won’t notice when they get Covid and... — read more 

I was hired in the 80's, at a time when it was tough to find a job. If you landed a job with a company like SF you grabbed on with both hands. I had every intention to make SF a career, and most of us felt that way back then. The job was never... — read more 

If you are in a LOC… no way you will get promoted. If you are in a TWA or LDA you are only taking advantage of. They will use you until the day they decide they don’t need you.

I think someone posted it before but I'm amazed at how many leaders I work with that are still drinking the Kool Aid.... State Farm keeps abusing and abusing people, day and night, hoping employees, especially leaders, buy into the propaganda. They... — read more 

I want to leave Claims and transfer into a completely department like ASR. Can anyone share insight on what it’s like there? Are they as stressed and squeezed as we are? This is not the company I used to enjoy working for.

Everyone knows that you should always have everything recorded, but people relax and forget about it, until they get into the situation I got into. If I had everything recorded, this would not be a very difficult period for me now. So now I just came... — read more 

Anybody else seen the parallels or make the connection yet? No personal accountability on those so-called “shared claims.” Lazy incompetent adjusters barely move a claim forward and let the person behind them deal with it. Re-work up the a$$ for... — read more 

So during huddle today in injury, my TM stated SF will be revising the ranges and pay next year. Does anyone know if this is claims specific or SF in general ?

I used to work at SF in SFPP from 2015 - 2019 until moving out of state for another opportunity. 2 weeks after I made the announcement I'm leaving, I found out, i received the promotion to an Analyst role in SFPP, which was the role I wanted for the... — read more 

I am pondering.... is anyone else in SF land receiving false accusations about performance?

I better see a good raise, a better than last year bonus and an extra something first quarter of 2022. I know I am replaceable, I am just a number. I will find another job… actively looking and focusing on myself. SF CEO is very well taken care off... — read more 

Clearly something smells at the farm

Every single claims employee is getting played for fools! Bend over!!!! They are never going to stop the madness as they do not see people as a resource but only as a human resource expense to the company. I spoke with someone in upper leadership... — read more 

The verbal abuse is out of control in claims. It is stressful for the employee and their colleagues and their families. HR used to be involved in these situations, but they no longer get involved. The sad part is it is not necessary. Most employees... — read more 

Competition between employees can be good for productivity. I don’t think there is any more healthy competitiveness at SF however. Increasingly, I am witnessing conflicts and latent animosity among my colleagues. I don't justify it, but I understand... — read more

Well well well…another proven leader (not) retires with the big parachute. Reality is tough, proven that you cannot make an agency person or a CPA a banker. Where were the brains of this company when we made this decision to be in banking. Someone... — read more 

I don't believe it will ever be as good as it used to be when I first started working here. Back then, one could still feel dignified working here. Now this is a completely different company. I'm counting the days until retirement, but for the sake... — read more 

How long until Biden plan gets enacted here.

Returning for five days a month for now. When will it be 4 weeks a month? You know they want us all under their watchful eyes.

You know this company is a joke when you see all the wrong people getting promoted. Took me sometime but I learned how to play the game. Once you realize that not caring and finding ways to make it look like your doing something when your not is the... — read more 

Word on the street is WFH ends early November.

Where do employees go to address any employee issue? When can we talk to our first line leaders about any issue we may have? Better yet, what can they do for us if all they do all day is run reports to satisfy the never ending thirst for data the... — read more 

I can no longer believe that this used to be a good place to work. I know that there is no ideal company, but here it seems to me that no one is satisfied with their job and this company anymore? Maybe just the ones at the top? Even my manager looks... — read more

With the bulk of INJ CA New Mail tasks going to CS starting next week, get ready for some R3markable claim handling. Apparently CS weren’t that busy and CAs are just “operational waste?”

It didn’t happen to me personally, but my colleague was exposed to verbal abuse by the manager almost every day. No one is paid enough to endure verbal abuse, but that person is still at SF just because the bills have to be paid. I hope that he... — read more 

All claim’s people don’t log in for one day… virtual walk out. Are they going to fire us all? They need to understand we are humans.

I'm happy that so many are landing in situations better than this one. Let's be honest, at this point, it's hard to find something that wouldn't be better than State Farm. In addition, more people leavening voluntarily hopefully means fewer layoffs... — read more

BWAHHAAAA!!! Hilarious......SF just brought in a new Exec from AT&T to get the call centers reorg'd ....... the death spike for U/W, claims, and agent's. See.... because our Execs still thinks claims is just a "call center" job. We still hear Paul... — read more
