Bringing up an old post but sometimes people forget how bad it was before the pandemic! Claims...it is nothing new, was and still is an absolute he-l ho-e! It will continue to get worse and worse! They want the turnover around 40-45% every year! We... — read more

Info Sec Directors and Managers
Why is the majority of security management just unqualified bodies in a position of authority? The majority know nothing about info sec nor hold industry certifications. These people would be unable to get any type of information security job at... — read more
Question
Has anyone in claims worked in another state while being a working remote? Were there any issues, concerns, or questions with management?
Laptops for claims
I know there’s a delay due to availability but does anybody know when claims will be getting their laptops?

Define overwork?
What I’ve noticed is that 'overwork' of people who constantly complain involves maybe 50% of the work of employees who don’t complain. I would rather say that the problem is low morale and lack of motivation, which makes any job more difficult and... — read more
Public listing
Can someone explain to me why SF is not on the Stock exchange? I know for a damn fact if it was, these shenanigans wouldn't be happening!! Is there a good reason why it's not publicly traded?
To agent staff from operations staff
Hey, we know everything sucks. Trust us, we know. However, the decisions to make everything suck more were not made by people working in a call center making $20/hr. Bullying Joe Blow the phone rep is not going to force a change or anything... — read more
Todays email
What does the email we received today mean regarding the State Farm equipment you currently has is your’s. Can anyone explain?
This sure does look familiar SF!
https://www.trialguides.com/blogs/news/bloomberg-details-widespread-claim-denials-and-delays-by-american-insurers I think Tipsy and the other minions think people do not remember this. You could not describe SF's current claim/business model any... — read more
How bad does it have to get before the DOI gets involved?
If SF was an NCAA program they’d be investigated for Lack of Institutional Control. Claim handling is incompetent to the point where DOI needs to look. 3 out of 4 claims require re-work. Good is now the claim where we only correct misinformation... — read more
Seriously, now is the time to leave
I was a 20+ year high performer at the farm. I loved most of my career. However, the last three years or so we’re just stupid. I could see that it was never going to improve; in fact, things were more than likely going to go downhill. My last straw... — read more
**** DO NOT WORK AT STATE FARM ****
So I left another bad insurance carrier to come to work at SF and it has been a horrible mistake! This place is run by complete and absolute id--ts! I can't understand how this place is still in business. WFM is a complete joke and so are the... — read more

Why is STATE FARM going external to look for team managers in claims ?
do we not have qualified candidates within state farm to take on management roles? From what I have heard there are a lot of people who are marked ready who are getting discouraged because they are not being given opportunities to interview or move... — read more
Can’t wait!
Can’t wait to quit. Every minute I have free out of my day is spent looking for another job. SF is a dead end road if you are in claims.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my State Farm co-workers. We all know the company is jaded. But I wish everyone a safe family filled much needed time off.
SF's Biggest Legal Problem
SF biggest legal problem is that it is underpaying it's employees for all kinds of roles. This is at the leadership level across departments but is also a huge problem in claims. In many areas in claims they have para-professionals doing prof-tech... — read more
ET and Information Security Talent Exodus
Do ET or Security leadership have concerns about the talent exodus in their departments or not care? The people leaving are skilled experts that the company should retain and more talented than their “leaders” as a bonus.
Cheap workforce can't fix it
I’m not saying that there aren’t great talented individuals among the cheaper employees, however, generally speaking, the problem is that SF's priority has become a cheap workforce and not a competent one. I guess the leadership thinks that cheap... — read more

Reflecting
What would it take for you to stay working here after the bonus? - I asked myself. More money?… That would be nice but unless the raise is above 10% it will not be worthy. Let’s be honest; that will not happen unless they pull their heads out of the... — read more
Are all SF employees on hybrid schedule or just claims?
Did not see many people working in the office at the hub. Does HR, IT, and other employees have a hybrid schedule like claims employees? Or are they still able to work from home only?
Next leader
Who will be giben the keys next. Going to be like GE - overheat the engine and the let the next deal with all if the business and talent issues
Pension
Do you honestly think SF will buy out the pension at some point? Or they will just buy out those with less than certain $ a month? I guess for many people the only reason to stay is the pension.
CHIP/CLIP/3PET
The new CHIP/CLIP systems being implemented in Claims are clunky, cumbersome, and have slowed down my ability to work efficiently. I don't believe it is a matter of adjusting and learning the new systems as some of the problems include; multiple... — read more

Veterans day message for SF!
I enjoyed serving the veterans breakfast when we employed them. The smile on their face for just a thank you. The time we had could never be bought. Then, SF took that moment away from us due to cost while at the same time CEO gets 20 million dollar... — read more
1st line Info Sec Managers a joke with walking clown shoes
I've reached my last straw. First line Information Security management is a joke. Many second line "leaders" are equally bad. The majority of these so called "leaders" are not technical, do NOT understand their product team, nor have real Information... — read more
Exec Briefing today
So ole Tipsy had his quarterly Exec call today with leadership and normal typical BS. Let's sum it up for everyone: If you are in claims be prepared to come back in the office more...don't count on the WFH long term! I can't micro-manage you! (but... — read more
Raises?
Inflation rates have been announced and it is 6.2% higher than a year ago. That means if you make $100,00 and do not get a $6,200 raise, you are worse off than a year ago.
IT resignations
What is the % of leaders and % of high performers leaving. It seems to be an exodus. Is there no concern?
GREAT CALL!
I am impressed with State Farm's handling of Aaron Rogers. Well done! Respect a differing opinion is a good neighbor.
Is across the board within insurance companies

Aaron Rodgers does not align with the State Farm Brand
Mutual Trust, integrity and quality relationships are three core values that State Farm was built on. Aaron Rodgers does not respect our values. He values himself. He lied about being vaccinated with air quotes saying he’s “immunized”. That truly... — read more
Can Aaron Rogers continue to be the SF poster boy?
With a white hot spotlight illuminating Rogers intentional deceit and deception along with purposely not complying with NFL Covid protocol around teammates, media and fans can Rogers remain the most well known SF spokesman?
Bad neighbor
Really Sh---y of State Farm to essentially put claims on 6 day work weeks during the holiday months. It really puts the cherry on top of a really sucky year. The least they could do is increase our pay to be more competitive with other companies in... — read more
