Sounds like INFOSEC was first to get the news, but they were told they are all moving to Corp North along with all other remaining SF Employees.

I busted out laughing when Fawhad said "we are not looking at any more blah blah at this time" I forgot what he called it, but transformation, or migration, or layoffs.... My point, I'm part of the team creating new alias for those rebadge... — read more 

I am thinking of applying to customer service and dont work for state farm. Would you recommend? Also, if you do like your job which department do you think is nice

or even just rumors? Those director and above pukes are gonna do something and it won't be well-planned and will not be good.

Don't believe Forkwad (not his real VP name) when he says there are no more transformations planned for ET. The latest plan to outsource ET employees was called a "migration".....so not a transformation. The next round of layoff will be called... — read more 

It makes me sick to think what the ET department has become and the rest of the company. I'm not impacted, but I know many who are. Hard working, smart individuals who have skills that are needed in other parts of the ET, but Executives made sure... — read more

Does anyone know what this Thursday’s ET meeting is about?

On Thursday, 1/26, the Marketing Dept learned in a group Teams call that there will be layoffs in February. The numbers and details are foggy as they say the "assessments" of each employee in Marketing will first have to be performed/logged with HR... — read more

I totally understand why and I don't blame anyone who leaves after a very short time here. However, what I don't understand is do those who apply here do any research on SF before that? It's terrible that people leave after such a short period... — read more

Up next for outsourcing is Human Resources! If you work in a call center environment shape up your resume NOW. Since they reconfigured this area to function as "yes" people to leadership....not a big loss.

Perhaps someone will disagree, but for me personally, it's getting worse here every year. The attitude towards the employees is getting worse, there is less and less professionalism, and sometimes it is not clear to me where SF is going anymore... — read more

Progressive has passed State Farm in Auto. We are #2. So while the CEO collects his bonus, the rest should be worried about job security.
