I’ve watched this place grind people down for years and it still feels the same. I don’t expect anything from here anymore, just a regular paycheck. It’s strange staying somewhere you can’t stand, but work is work. I’m keeping my head down until... — read more 

No more anniversary recognition check. Still get the gift, for now.

State Farm jet taking off right now from Bloomington airport. i wonder the high paid execs are scooting off to now? Too good to fly commercial.

This place is a total sh-t hole. My sister works in Fire and hates her job and I'm in Total Loss and it is a complete disaster. It's not my Team Manager but his my crazy SM and CM that cause constant chaos. My poor TM looks like a scolded dog... — read more

Hopefully SF is considering de-mutualizing in efforts to remain a force in the industry. Not to mention an IPO and/or being purchased by another stock company could be both beneficial for current and future employees… as well as attracting and... — read more 

Our manager just raised our quota again, like we’ve got unlimited hours in the day. I’m pretty sure he thinks he’s boosting performance, but all he’s really doing is making it impossible to provide decent service. Can he even do that? I know for a... — read more

That this blog is senseless. All the talk about the benefits being slashed… woohoo… no such change! Things don’t have to be as bad as you make them.

Ths asian followed Titsford under his guidance and wrote the business model for the new farm then it all went south. A few months later he took a very early retirement (asked to step down). 34 billion dollar underwriting loss for 2002-2024……..omg…..

So folks can retire earlier without taking such a reduction. Please make it years of service plus age = a magic number for full retirement pay. This would be the best way to get those higher salaries off the books.

State Farm is really not even a legitimate business anymore. Scam! Insurance companies from P&C carriers to Health Care are run with no consequences because they have so much money and too much influence. I'm in U/W and I'm done in November as I was... — read more 

Offer fair pension buyouts. Pensions are worth 1mill min over lifetime.

Healthcare costs are going to continue to go up (for everyone) virtually everywhere. Even has AI continues to displace (entry-level white collar jobs) over time (the unemployment rate rising will continue will show it).

Everyone ready for the big changes coming for benefits? Going to be ugly with rates going way up, less PTO and freezing of the pension. RTW 50% of the time effective June 01, 2026. 2026 is the year I leave SF!

The Trump Tax bill - What things are (truly) about. Should (never) have been passed. Which provided $600.0+ Billion in Tax savings to the wealthy over a 10-year period. The (Interest alone) paid on the $38.0+ Trillion (and rising) U.S. National... — read more

Is offer early retirement / exit to all employees over 55.

Would be to go on and move all into the hubs and start over. Voluntary exit all wfh employees and get this show on the road. Half in and half out is ki-ling the company. Maybe if they go all in on the hubs they can rebuild the brand.
