Who’s BURNT OUT before summer driving?

The current work volume is nothing compared to what’s coming this summer. Sadly executive react and don’t plan ahead. Reacting is when it’s too late. Take a few months for new hires to make even the smaller impact. If there is a need for 20 more in a... — read more

Anyone else coasting?

Anyone else coasting? After years of trying to break into management which is rigged, I’m deciding to lay low and do the minimum required by my position and enjoy my mid six figures.

SF was once a secure job, but not anymore

Security in a job is key. Whenever you don't like your job you are not at your best and it is always best to get out at that point. SF was (WAS!) a secure job with a pension and a future even though you may have not gotten promoted. Today they have... — read more

Forcing “non optional” overtime sure as heck is not it! It’s time the company starts relieving the genius executives of their duties. Mistake after mistake passed on to the front line worker, making SF one of the least desirable companies to work... — read more 

Nothing to retain talent

Rarely anyone who can get a higher pay elsewhere will decide to stay here. But it's not just pay, it's also the feeling of being more valued which they can only get somewhere else. SF does nothing to keep capable people. Absolutely nothing.

Poor training

I don't know how much money SF spends on employee training, but no matter how much money it spends, it's not enough. Of course, employees will be under more stress and eventually leave quickly after being hired because they do not have effective... — read more 

Going from a hub to WFH location.

Has anyway in a hub location asked about going to a none hub location to be full WFH? With SF hiring from the LOC locations again, how hard would it be to go to that location ?

What's happening with IT?

It's been a while since I was last here. Four years, to be precise. I was laid off during the IT bloodbath of 2018. What happened after that? Has everything been outsourced or are there still at least a few people left? I've read a few posts and I... — read more 

Why are there so many toxic people at State Farm?

Just look at the comments here. So much toxicity and hostility and for no good reason. I know it's a cutthroat work environment but that doesn't mean we should stop being cordial at least to each other. I'm assuming I'm going to get a lot of flak for... — read more

To switch or not to switch? That is the question

Switching jobs for more pay is a valid move when you are just starting out. Just make certain you aren't jumping from the bottom rung in one company to the bottom rung in another. My career is about over, but I also jumped companies. My first... — read more

Lying piece of sh-t!

Used to be informative here …

… until the corporate drones and TMs showed up to sh-t on any meaningful post. Case in point … who’s excited for Verint screen monitoring in INJ next month? Yay! Our transition to EXP continues. Shout me down and prove my point.

COLA

Reinstating/reimplementing COLA (Cost Of Living Adjustment) would be a pretty nifty recruiting and retainment strategy right now.

My job used to be fun

Mondays are the worst. I’ve worked a lot before, but I really loved doing my job. It was fun. Now I start working under stress and I finish working under stress. The pressure is incredible. It’s sad to remember how relaxed it used to be... — read more 

In office Bullsh-t in claims!

I was talking to my friend from Express who is now an Auto Underwriting Service Assistant in personal lines. She said it's much better than claims. Most of them only have to come into the office once a month and others just 2 days a month. They get... — read more 

Bring back LOC’s

And bring back the experienced reps. State Farm’s reputation is in the toilet and can still be plunged out by doing these things. Put your ego to the side.

Were you encouraged on our future by the messaging today?

Watching the theater

Working here is like watching the theater play every day. There is a leadership that acts using some empty phrases trying to convince us that they have everything under control. There are those who act pretending to work hard, and all they do is... — read more
