for those who are no longer part of the State Farm. They finally got some relief from all this. I hope to get a new job soon, because here it's impossible to work and be happy and relaxed? (unless you're one of those at the top of course)

Do we know yet if we'll have layoffs sometime at the start of the year, like usual?
