Those in operations. You have a job that you constantly have to make decisions; then, you have someone always looking over your shoulder questioning your decision and forcing you to justify it. It's like looking at films of a football game by a... — read more 

I find it interesting that SF has now begun an ad campaign glorifying a clear cod of conduct violation with the new "Jared" accepting a large pizza delivery at home for saving the delivery girl on her insurance. Anyone else find that odd?

If you are over 40 and especially if you have over 20 years of service watch your back. Auto injury has been on a firing spree. Mgmt has so many hoops for cs's to jump through now it is impossible to keep up. It is terrible. They don't want you... — read more 

TM has said proximity is over staffed and they want to reduce the numbers by end of the year. Didn’t say how that would be done. By attrition or what? There seems to be a doom and gloom feeling around the company. Anyone else has any info?

Micromanage people who keep the promise while spending tons of money on a commercial delivering a pizza? Double slap in the face. Poor marketing.

And I like it that way.

Just wondered with all of the pandemic-related changes, such as WFH, if the State Farm Bank sale to US Bank was still on track and if determinations had been made on how all of the Bank employees would taken care of?

Whatever happened to “Quantum”? Just another harebrained “strategy” thought up by overpaid, worthless “leaders”? Seriously, did they just totally abandon whatever “Quantum” was supposed to be?

So, I felt lucky to move to claims a few years ago because it was clear the bank was a mess at that time. Then, the clowns that amplified the bank's mess were the ones allowed to stay in control. Seems like the same thing is happening in claims. ... — read more

With companies offering more buyouts and SF associates currently WFH; this would be a good time to close all non-hub locations. For associates still needed allow them to WFH for others give them a severance package.

going forward, will all the protesting now dividing along racial lines create a hostile working environment?
