Great Job State Farm. Just like how the government has been the last 30 years. Sold out our d–gs and health equipment to China while raising our healthcare premiums. All for the almighty dollar! Now we are in a pandemic and don't have the... — read more
Agile : not

Today’s COVID POLICY
FAQs says if you think you’ve been exposed to COVID-19 you should report to your office if you can’t work from home and practice social distancing. Seriously?
How Will State Farm Protect Their Employees?
I know State Farm has allowed some employees to work from home. What precautions are they taking as far as sanitizing, social distancing, etc., in the Hubs where people are crammed in like sardines and share desks?
Coronavirus
Gotta say....STATE FARM is doing a great job dealing with the pandemic. That I will give them credit for even though we have disagreed on prior policy decisions.
Astronaut John Glenn.
SF is all about tech and metrics. My response is the same as astronaut John Glenn......"DON'T TRUST ANYTHING YOU CAN'T LOOK IN THE EYE!"
Working from Home at State Farm

Bean Counter.
Bet the old bean counter is shaking his head right now with the market, the TN tornado exposures, and coronavirus. OUCH!
I got you a dollar...
Great results all year (metrics and quality)...level 5 employee. Raise? A dollar more an hour. Thanks for the slap on the face. Will take my talent somewhere else where I can also have more flexibility to enjoy life. I am tired of feeling abused or... — read more
Catastrophe Pay
Starbucks just announced 14 days of catastrophe pay for employees infected with the Covid19.
O Chg rhetoric
Too much leaders with lotsa rhetoric and passing the buck. This is old news. Old change management tactics. Young folks don’t see thru this. Heard this for years. Fuzzy words
Claims Micromanaged to death
Claims is one of the most stressed place to work in the company! I was part of wave 2 in systems and the only way to keep my job was to come to this place. I had no idea that a place like claims even existed. Tenured employees have to compete for... — read more

Tipsord
Tipsord gets all the blame, sometimes the heat, but these changes started under Ed Rust. Ed Rust wanted the hubs and started “Future State”. Tipsord’s only fault is that he doubled down and the Mass layoffs. His response to the 7 billion dollar... — read more
Bank was an embarrassment
Tipsord shed the malignant growth that was the bank. It's clearly been in the works for approximately three years. Thank you to the leader who read between the lines and advised me to head to the enterprise 2.5 years ago. I hope this shedding serves... — read more

Good news!
I retired early a few years ago after over 30 years in operations. It was the best move we (my wife and I) ever did. I was fortunate enough to be part of the best organization in the world who focused on and cared about both its customers and... — read more

Bloomington housing market
What will the bank closure do the Bloomington housing market!? If I don’t get selected for a new job in the enterprise is there any way I won’t lose money selling my house and moving from the area??
Profit vs raise
Very profitable company thinking they will retain talent with a 4.0 percent (if you are a really good employee) which equals to around one dollar more an hour, around one hundred dollars more a month... no flexibility, no room to grow or learn... — read more
Bank
Are we finally ridding ourselves of the Bank?
Cool
Someone needs to Make State Farm Great Again. But, at this point, that's unlikely to happen!
Profit
Profit, Profit, Profit.......that’s all I hear from State Farm execs, we are a mutual insurance company, I don’t know why they are concerned about Profit.........it makes me think about that TV show from the 90’s called Profit, which an exec whose... — read more
Unsanitary Work Conditions
I've always thought that State Farm's practice in the hubs regarding "hoteling" (desk sharing) was unsanitary. Especially during cold and flu season. It's bad enough that sick employees feel forced to come to work because of points. But not knowing... — read more
Wanna see how good SF reputation is?
People in TN are already apologizing to the people who have been devastated by tornadoes who are insured by SF. That's not the reputation I recall.
Travel halt
The only folks that care bout the travel ban cause of virus are the “leaders” and execs planning their family vacations at State Farm expense. Any travel for conferences and meetings is expensive. Cut some costs and quit traveling all together. ... — read more
State Farm and the Corona Virus
Since State Farm really doesn't have sick leave and you get points when you do call out, how likely will people just stay home if they have a cold or flu symptoms? Not likely and we all know it. So how fast will the Corona virus spread at State... — read more
Marketing
So weird a company like SF calls Marketing ..Digital and IT transformation. Data and integrations not to be trusted. Chatbots ans Artificial intelligence are just take...fake and artificial. Folks read through the BS and systems.

Don't let them fool you!
They preach they care about you. The reality is you are being lied to. They care less about you, your family and your financial well being. Heads up at all times. Don't be quick to buy into their lies and deceit.
For health's sake.
Here's something most don't talk about. Today I went to doctor after lab tests. The usual. The doc came into the room and said he was recently thinking about me because a SF employees relative is going to med school and he had the opportunity to talk... — read more
