State Farm reputation?
It seems to me that State Farm is managing its reputation and the risks to its reputation really badly. Someone here has made a good observation that the company is working on advertisements while at the same time forgetting that people are its most... — read more

Internal Outsourcing Continues
I’m one of the 10,0000 ... found out half our POD has been wh–ed out to ILR and EXP on 30 day assignment “to provide support to areas that need it” while those of us remaining get additional CS SHs and numbers added to our series. Claims isn’t... — read more
should I be thinking about looking for other opportunities?
In my mid-30s and joined SF about 2 years ago as a statistician/analyst in one of the hubs. Feel much of the work is slow and morale is not that high, although no much complains either. Now there are opportunities out there either in the same... — read more
Other companies have it worse
It blows my mind to see all the negativity here. SF has it better than other insurance companies. If you’re not happy then by all means let me walk you to the door and make sure it doesn’t hit you on the way out. Stop complaining. There are millions... — read more
Isn’t it about time to start bringing people back into the buildings?
It’s kind of dumb for them to have all these empty buildings just sitting there barely used. And since over 34 million people in the US have been vaccinated so far and COVID cases have plummeted, isn’t it about time to start bringing employees back... — read more
Where’s Leadership?
SF.net can post multiple Jake stories a day but not a peep from Leadership. Email? Hah! Claims is only getting third-hand gossip and TMs running around w/ their hair on fire.
Karma for tippy and execs?
Maybe they shouldn’t have given people lower ratings than they deserved to save a few bucks on EIP. Maybe they shouldn’t have reduced staffing by such a large percentage. Maybe they should have given a f— about their employees because now guess... — read more
Outage today
Any idea what the cause of today’s outage is?
Bank ppl still here
Why aren’t the bank peeps gone yet?
Claims employee- do you feel unappreciated; do you feel they are pushing the older folks out?
We all know that this is not the company that it used to be. Ever since we went to the new model, numbers have been crunched for raises and compensation for on the spot awards etc. In the meantime’s numbers have been increased for metrics, and do... — read more
10,000 temp employees
So it looks like the new model to be announced soon it’s going to be similar to ECIM — the 10,000 former LOC employees will be placed in any position where there is a current business need/employee shortage. This will be without consideration of... — read more

Hostile work environment
Has State Farm always had work environment that was this hostile? I'm relatively new, started less than two years ago and I have to say, this is the worst place I've worked for by far. It's not even the low pay or lack of any meaningful bonuses. It's... — read more
Smallest pay raise ever due to financial constraints, but we blow $10 million on Super Bowl ads
Screw you Tipsord, you cheap b–tard! And your lap dogs as well. We can't even get a pay increase to keep up with inflation (even though the company's value increased over $2 billion dollars during a pandemic) but you can blow over $5 million per... — read more
Goodbye pensions for new hires and rehires
As predicted by some people on this forum, rehires and new hires in 2021 will not have a pension. Instead the company will up the 401k contribution. Whoopee! What’s next?
Union
Union is coming. Needs to be in place before company goes public. It will be a good thing...
State Farm transitioning from insurance?
Several years ago, Michael Tipsford talked about the future of State Farm. The speech basically said that in the future State Farm’s primary business would not be insurance. The primary business would be information and the selling of information. ... — read more
Any word or rumors on the fate of the 10,000 employees you don’t have an office to go back to?
Any word or rumors on the fate of the 10,000 employees who don’t have an office to go back to? I’m sure the plan is still to replace them with new hires in the hubs. Hoping they might start offering severance the people who want to voluntarily... — read more
Anyone else smell a transition coming in estimatics?
After the all clear is given to return to the hubs I think it’s inevitable....
You are next!
Today Fed Ex announced cutting 6300 jobs and paid 575 million in severance. SF isn't any different. Coming to your front door soon. Be prepared! The sooner you realize what you're being sold is a lie, the better off you will be.
Why aren’t bank folks gone?
There are still a ton of finance, credit, analysts, mangers etc
Are you being paid for all time worked?
Since Covid and work from home started - are you working extra hours without pay? I did. We can only meet metrics or handle work/life by working outside our shifts. In the beginning there was understanding and "flexibility". Now we have no... — read more

FEAR
Just like our government, SF wants you to live in fear. Remember folks just like the customer, you have liberty and freedom. Do not let any totalitarian take your liberty.
Work From Home Expenses
What’s the word on increased home expense reimbursement? All utilities increasing regardless of your geographic location, along with paying for your own internet. How much longer will SF freeload?
Jake State Farm accepting Gratuitous Payments
The Jake from State Farm commercials always seems to accept gifts and gratuitous payments. Can he really be objective with his claims handling with all these gifts? They are not nominal; steaks value $100. Any thoughts?
Get ready!
REMEMBER! It's all about me....take care of yourself.....It's a business decision ....... we've all heard it! They will soon pay the devil his dues for short term profit gain. Scary days are coming. Be ready.
Are all locations going to be WFH?
If yes, what are we doing with all that space? What locations are not WFH (if any)?
What if COVID didn’t happen?
I often hear that the pandemic came as a good excuse to close offices and lay off 10,000 people, and I saw that someone mentioned it on this forum as well. I wonder if you really think so, that it’s just an excuse? If you do, I wonder what do you... — read more
