If they'd just change the retirement plan
To a years of service + age = magic number for full retirement pension, a lot would just retire without a severance offer. Looks like this would cost the company less and get the salaries off the books and onto the pension program. Then they could... — read more
Did anyone else get a letter about their pension?
I left State Farm about 2 years ago and had only worked for them 8 years. Last week I got a letter stating they were buying out my pension based on ERISA and IRS guidelines and gave me a link to a web-site for more information. Did anyone else get... — read more
Cheap labor
A company is competitive by taking advantage of cheap indentured labor importation and outsourcing work to sweatshops. If you need to see change then elect politicians that will change laws to protect American jobs by banning H1B, reducing... — read more

Anyone have any idea about who will be targeted by the layoffs?

I know its been said here many times and I know people do not have enough gumption or unity to do it but the only thing and I mean the only things that brings these useless ba----ds to their knees is a union. It is what they were designed to do. I... — read more
Job security is an illusion
Some folks still act like this place offers a real career path. The truth is, most of us are just hoping to stay employed another week. Thinking long term here is setting yourself up for disappointment.
SF and Corporate America is hilarious
So was reading the new Severance and Enhanced Severance plan and it say for those effected by this, they will have to submit an "application" to be approved by leadership. Laughed my arsss off. Think about that, they want you to submit an... — read more
What a toxic company
I wish they'd offer voluntary exit to all depts. Remember all that put in won't get selected for it. This would get older employees out of here. Leave more jobs open for the ones that need to stay. Just because it's offered in your area don't mean... — read more
They’ll outsource us into oblivion, won’t they?
It just goes to show they don’t care about service quality, employees, or clients. It’s always been about the bottom line, and their appetite for more never ends.

I’ve stayed here far too long
I’d take any deal that lets me walk away with severance.
Go ahead and sign
Go ahead and sign so they know who the disgruntled people are and can put the sc--ws on you harder. The goal has not changed and the goal is still to get rid of as many people as possible without having to pay ANY severance. Even if you sign you can... — read more
Stop all the expensive advertising
If you want to get rid of people hiking calling it voluntary severance - look at cutting unnecessary expenses. Starting with the high profile celebrity advertising and then the high end large six figure executive salaries. Both those classes of folks... — read more
I hope a lot of people take the voluntary layoffs
It would at least lessen the chances of the rest of us ending up on the chopping block. I’m still hoping to keep this job. Not because I care about it, or about the company, but because the options out there are practically nonexistent. They’ll keep... — read more
Who else is praying to get the offer?
I've been trying to leave anyhow. Getting paid to do it would be as good as it gets.
Outsourcing is coming… lots of us will be out of a job!
Several areas in claims, help desk and SFPP have been outsourced to a company in India. If they can save pennies on the dollar… why wouldn’t they? Problem is.. the language barrier and the fact they can’t understand what we do. I can assure you the... — read more
To those in power: go all the way!
Today’s announcement was the best thing ever. Offer it widespread. I agree there are countless old id--ts who need to leave. (And I am one of them). They are expensive. They don’t give a cr-p. They are barriers to moving work along. The absolute... — read more
NOW OFFER FULL RETIREMENT
With age plus years of service equal full retirement pay as if you worked to age 62. Get these old timers out of here and off the books and onto the retirement plan. That's way cheaper than paying them to hang on till 62.
Voluntary Layoffs, 2018 Vibes
If this is just an HR plan update, why couldn't they just update the HR manual quietly and not send out a freaking email to give everyone anxiety? "You aren't affected now, but you may be in the future....one day!" I'm having 2018 ET flashbacks ... — read more

Why is claims such a s%#{ show?
This is my third carrier in 10 years and by far the most clueless organization I’ve ever been part of. Too many of the tenured managers don’t care anymore and that seems to be problem 1. Best of luck to those who remain. 2 years has been enough for... — read more

SF is the is the worst of the worst! Bottom of the trash barrel
The worst thing about SF is that it's a Mutual Company and there is no one to hold the Executives accountable for their actions. A Mutual Company works when the Executives are in it for the mutual benefit of the policyholders and employees. When you... — read more

I noticed in the grand new update they just released one of the programs newly installed is Impero Connect Host. This means they can monitor your screens in real time without notifying you.
New Corporate America tactics!
Continue to keep your eyes open and resume's ready as SF is a pile of sh-t just like the rest of corporate America. Corporations like SF are slowly and methodically sealing/draining our nation and our way of life's doomed faith. Return to work... — read more
