Even in a record year for State Farm along with the pandemic be prepared to get nothing but average rating at the end of the year. It's funny on the homepage I see an article about attracting and retention of employees. Lies I tell you. The new... — read more 

Is Claims the only Department that restricts your PTO to vacation out to 6 weeks? I am aware of several other departments that have allowed whatever amount of vacation time you have. I know the alternative is just to take the payoff and pay the... — read more 

Any news on healthcare or pension changes?

My Lawyer says l have a good case for Title VII violation. What's funny is this is literally in the Law Dept. What a freak show!!!

It’s official. The claims department, as a whole, has failed. As a CS, every phone call I get is about a CA or new CS providing wrong information that is costing the customers money and time. The amount of incompetence is astonishing. The poor... — read more 

Pay is not competitive with remote jobs. Other companies offer a pension. No opportunity for advancement. First line management is packed with people with no security experience or CISSP which any other company requires. The majority of directors... — read more 

I don't know how they managed to instill fear of losing jobs and controlling people in that way??? In essence, SF should be afraid that people will reach the breaking point and leave without thinking from here, because I doubt they could easily... — read more 

I don't! It’s a good place only for those who have never worked for any other company so they can’t make a comparison. It's only bearable here for those who don't care about growing their careers. I hope to get another chance by the end of the... — read more 

I work at a competitor and I'm just curious. I know state farm is #1 in market share

Do not forget all the horrible, immoral, dishonest, and illegal things SF had done to its employees and policyholders over the last 10 years. Its the same MT and PS running the company! They have not changed!!! These are not decent, good people! All... — read more 

I used to look forward to the holiday season, but now I don't. The last time I was on vacation, not only that I didn't get enough rest, but after those few days that passed enormously fast, I came back even more tired to this company. Is there anyone... — read more 

Heads up. All management was out on notice 2 weeks ago. State Farm has essentially initiated the FANG metric systems for divisions and employees. (This is coming to other Fortune 500 companies too, so you really can’t run from this new corporate... — read more

Feel free to drop a funny/stupid quote you’ve heard from a SF TM over the years. Have fun… go!

I’ve heard that competitors generally give better pay and a better environment. So people are not exaggerating, the conditions are really better and it is really worth starting from the beginning? Once I made such a mistake when I moved here... — read more 

Thoughts on when the next layoffs round will take place?

A small monthly fee for representation, better benefits, and and most of all a better work environment is a small price to pay. It’s time.

Did anyone notice the deafening silence of SF plan to keep employees safe in the so called hybrid return to office? A website with rules is not even adequate. Just pretend it isn’t happening and maybe employees won’t notice when they get Covid and... — read more 

I was hired in the 80's, at a time when it was tough to find a job. If you landed a job with a company like SF you grabbed on with both hands. I had every intention to make SF a career, and most of us felt that way back then. The job was never... — read more 

If you are in a LOC… no way you will get promoted. If you are in a TWA or LDA you are only taking advantage of. They will use you until the day they decide they don’t need you.

I think someone posted it before but I'm amazed at how many leaders I work with that are still drinking the Kool Aid.... State Farm keeps abusing and abusing people, day and night, hoping employees, especially leaders, buy into the propaganda. They... — read more 

I want to leave Claims and transfer into a completely department like ASR. Can anyone share insight on what it’s like there? Are they as stressed and squeezed as we are? This is not the company I used to enjoy working for.

Everyone knows that you should always have everything recorded, but people relax and forget about it, until they get into the situation I got into. If I had everything recorded, this would not be a very difficult period for me now. So now I just came... — read more 

Anybody else seen the parallels or make the connection yet? No personal accountability on those so-called “shared claims.” Lazy incompetent adjusters barely move a claim forward and let the person behind them deal with it. Re-work up the a$$ for... — read more 

So during huddle today in injury, my TM stated SF will be revising the ranges and pay next year. Does anyone know if this is claims specific or SF in general ?

I used to work at SF in SFPP from 2015 - 2019 until moving out of state for another opportunity. 2 weeks after I made the announcement I'm leaving, I found out, i received the promotion to an Analyst role in SFPP, which was the role I wanted for the... — read more 

I am pondering.... is anyone else in SF land receiving false accusations about performance?

I better see a good raise, a better than last year bonus and an extra something first quarter of 2022. I know I am replaceable, I am just a number. I will find another job… actively looking and focusing on myself. SF CEO is very well taken care off... — read more 

Clearly something smells at the farm

Every single claims employee is getting played for fools! Bend over!!!! They are never going to stop the madness as they do not see people as a resource but only as a human resource expense to the company. I spoke with someone in upper leadership... — read more 

The verbal abuse is out of control in claims. It is stressful for the employee and their colleagues and their families. HR used to be involved in these situations, but they no longer get involved. The sad part is it is not necessary. Most employees... — read more 

Competition between employees can be good for productivity. I don’t think there is any more healthy competitiveness at SF however. Increasingly, I am witnessing conflicts and latent animosity among my colleagues. I don't justify it, but I understand... — read more

How long until Biden plan gets enacted here.

Returning for five days a month for now. When will it be 4 weeks a month? You know they want us all under their watchful eyes.
