The timing of February / March seems suspicious and I’m worried that the HCL sign-on bonus is meant to replace our end of year bonus, does anyone know for certain what’s happening?

I am afraid that the opposite will happen. It's not impossible, right? All this affects the overall morale in the company, which was already very low. A drop in morale affects productivity. Besides, I don't know how much outsourcing will appeal to... — read more 

So as everyone knows, SF as a company gives 10% of employees over 3s, 80% will get 3s, and 10 % that get below 3s every year with yearly reviews. What I don’t get is how employees that get over 3s do it? I’m in claims and everything is tracked, yet... — read more 

This is serious. State Farm plans on letting all of ET go within the year. There will be 4 announcements (1 per quarter). State Farm has decided that they are not a technology company, but an insurance company and will cut back completely on ET... — read more 

Given that their reputation is very bad, I honestly would never accept to go to HCL unless I knew that I would not be able to find any other option for a long time. How many of you would rather resign than accept going to HCL? It wouldn't... — read more 

There is already some speculation that the leadership intends to outsource the entire department and not just specific areas within ET. What is the probability that this will happen?

This here proves what State Farms plan is. They hiding behind this company to make cuts. I plan to look outside you can't trust what's coming. https://www.thelayoff.com/t/14SIKd10

They just changed the rules for severance yesterday to hold people hostage today. Sorry ET folks.

They work closely with HR. Your IP has been shared with SF. Lawsuits are currently on the way to both SF and this website. You've been warned.

They don't care that employees are anxiously waiting to find out how many people will be impacted, whether the cuts will apply to the entire department or specific areas within ET and other details. This goes to show, once again, that for them we... — read more 

Who is impacted? What is the effective date? Is anyone getting a job offer with HCLTECH? Are all the jobs moving to India? Did management lose their jobs? Executive?

You could all be sewing sneakers in SE asia for pennies a day.

Good bye pension and lazy employees

Anyone have the tea on what’s going to be announced?

Wasteful management everywhere. Ridiculous job positions at SF to create ‘work flow’ and to think of new ‘ideas.’ The rot starts at the head.

So no one posted about them mandating call center employees in the office 5 days a month “for the culture”? I thought that’d be bigger news. Why have me in a cube when I can do it from home better and save $$$

Left SF because it was not what they signed up for and how long were they with the company?

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
