Future of Claims at State Farm

I have two interviews scheduled for next week. I hope to get lucky this time and leave this company forever. I know that all companies squeeze people, more or less, but I still want to try somewhere else. Doing more with less is unsustainable. I... — read more

100 Year Anniversary Employee Appreciation

I bet our leadership is planning to give us something extra special to show their appreciation for all the hard work we’ve done over the years. I wonder what we’ll get. Any guesses? It’s hard to compete with a coaster. Maybe we’ll get a pen! Maybe... — read more

Dear Mike,

I would be very interested to know, if you were in an accident and I was handling your claim, how many other claims would you be comfortable with me juggling at the same time? 100? 200? 300? All my best.

Training new employees

Judging by the experiences of my colleagues who had to train new people, I would not want to train anyone here. No way. Training new hires means getting squeezed to the maximum, or at least that's the impression I got?

Another video from exec

Well there’s another mindless and tone deaf video from Wensley. I bet people want to drop their pens and quit every time they post a sunshine and unicorn video like that. It just proves they don’t give a sh-t about you or the customers. — read more

Are they testing our limits or what?

Is there really nothing this company can do to keep its employees? I don't think that's true and SF can certainly offer better conditions, but it doesn't want to. I think SF is very wrong to test the tolerance limits of its employees. It's a mistake... — read more 

New employees

I expected more from several new people that SF hired because we were terribly understaffed. It turned out that I hoped in vain that the situation would get easier with them working here. I wouldn’t want to belittle anyone, but those people really... — read more 

Take care of yourself

There are so many issues for employees within SF. Make sure to take care of yourself, check your physical and mental health… do not delay treatment for a job. I did and I regret it.
