I was told that in a 1x1 today, and also not to question what’s going on. ECR’s are even dropping faster than internals. Anyone tired of mandatory overtime yet, and also the sad s-b story from your TM? the externals are making far more per hour than... — read more
Hypothetically speaking
I'm trying to imagine State Farm where the leadership agreed that they all need to make less. Do you really think that would solve the issues of this company?
Record profits!
We had a huddle today and my TM shared our financial results and State Farm made $17.1 billion dollars this past year!!!! WOW! I looked around and I believe this is the most money SF has ever made in a year. I'm all for working for a profitable... — read more

YOU ARE IN COMMAND! TAKE CARE OF YOUR TROOPS NOT YOURSELF!
Take care of yourself
Wrists hurt? Can’t sleep at night waking up with pain? An ergonomic review has been denied to you or received little advise from one? I hear more and more co-workers complaining about these things. If you are suffering from any pain and you think it... — read more
Replacement dynamics
We're becoming increasingly disorganized. Is it normal that for two colleagues who left, there has been no replacement for almost four months? In the meantime, of course, those of us who are still here are doing their job.
Hiring
Are they really hiring? Maybe all the new hires are in other departments and just personally haven’t seen or heard of them.
Everybody is so easily offended these days
And I'm not even talking about the hot-button issues, I'm talking about simple comments and constructive criticism. These days telling somebody to do something that's his or her job equals slapping them in the face. If you try to correct them, even... — read more
Did something happen in Cityline???
I have heard rumors that something happened in Cityline. Is it true?? So sad!
Why is the atmosphere so toxic?
Backstabbing. Gossiping. Lying. Sinister cliques. I’ve never adapted to a State Farm work atmosphere, and I’ve been here for over three years. The toxic atmosphere here bothers me more than anything else. Of course, there is some of that in... — read more

When are employees going back into the office full time?
Why is remote work still going on? The pandemic is practically over. There’s no reason the lazy employees should not be back in the office every day full time by now two years later. Why bother having the buildings if the company isn’t going to... — read more

I got offered a job at ESIS for auto/general liability i'm considering taking. Offers slightly more money with a little bit more freedom. Any of you got something lined up already?
Technology
State Farm wants to get the most out of it employees, but at the same time doesn't want to invest in technology. It's horrible to hear that a person who works chat system stops working several times a day. The outdated technology here can sometimes... — read more

Exec Call Yesterday
So for all the employees that did not get to see our inspirational CEO yesterday, here is the cliff notes! We've had the best year ever! MT went around the room and asked each function SVP to confirm it was their best year ever. MT.. "Some people... — read more
Another one
This is how it is behind the scenes. The rating system sucks since they are not transparent on the ratings we receive. They use a faulty criteria to give employees numbers with little explanation instead relying on a generic context. Then when you... — read more
Pure destruction
It’s really sad how SF has downgraded so quickly. It takes a real “talent” to turn a company that was once great and a dream job for many, into a company that employees are literally running away from, and no one talented and capable even thinks... — read more

What happened at Cityline
There was an internal memo received about an incident that happened in Cityline but no details were going to be shared on Monday. It had talking points for employees and for third parties, like the press. No idea what happened
What’s a decent wage in your eyes?
If staffing was appropriate what do y’all think?
Can't SF afford decent raises?
I mean decent raises that keep up with inflation. I’m pretty sure SF can afford it, but the leadership obviously thinks that most of us are happy with just having a job, right? What a mistake!
The bonus is a joke!
Ohhh thank you ohhh Savior Lord Tipsy for the $1500 bonus if we just don't quit! You are such a great and wonderful leader that inspires me to go to work everyday! We are sooo lucky to have you since you are such a visionary leader! The hubs were... — read more

What is with the uptick of hold times when calling SF Support
Anyone know why the increased time on hold for SF Support? Recently I was on hold for over an hour and today it was 3 1/2 hours. Did Tippy defund SF Support?
Have you been told what your raise is going to be yet ?
Claims CS here, I was told my rating a few weeks ago, but still haven’t learned what my raise will be for the year. Is my TM just behind the curve here ?
Fixing the external hires mistakes
Most of us realize that having externals is not really cheaper. However, decision makers need to understand that as well. I absolutely agree with someone who said that internal employees' day consists of fixing the external hires' mistakes instead of... — read more
