Retirement
For those who are retired. Was it worth it? Is the pension helping you have a good retirement.
Beancounters
Beancounters should not be elevated to CEO. I have seen this several times and it never works out well. People, like MT, do not have an appreciation for culture or the historical significance of the roots of this company. Another fine example of... — read more
SF needs a serious intervention
SF needs to 1. Recognize they created a problem. 2. Discuss it with all the employees on how would be a good fix. 3. Go to bi monthly counseling appointments with the employees. In short, SF needs a serious intervention. The toxicity is too far... — read more
Phoenix/Tempe complex.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that SF relinquished the #1 building to Carvana, the auto vending machine company. #1 employess had to move the remaining buildings. Maybe employee count not increasing as predicted?
And then there were none
Any truth to rumor cooperate moving to Dallas then Tempe & Atlanta to be closed too with all operations out,of Dallas?
$1200 yearly raise for RA positions?
Anyone hear anything about this? I’m being told if you have been in your current role for 3-7 years you’re getting $1200 a year. This is a joke right? See ive been with the company 17 years and in my current RA2 role for 8 years. I make 2k more than... — read more

Working for Competitors
Anyone out there have any recommendations for competitors with humane working conditions, better benefits and a decent salary? And a job description that doesn't change monthly? Thank you
They are part of a bigger problem!
State Farm promotes family, neighbor, and community. Think about how big of a hoax that is when you force people away from their family, neighbor and community. Think of how they have divided the family unit for greed and profit. Remember at... — read more
Estimatics town hall
Now what are they going to lay on us......?
Like GM....
State Farm needs a come to Jesus moment!
Isn't it amazing
Isn't it amazing how great a business is when the employees trust their leadership. It is obvious employees don't trust their leadership? Isn't it obvious employees don't believe their leadership? Businesses fail because of this.
Titles
Remember this folks. Titles at SF don't mean jack. Some of the "leadership" got there by who you know. Just remember manager or leader is a title only. They wouldn't be jack if it wasn't for the people who make it happen. They have completely... — read more

EOM and its demise. Parallels to Six Sigma.

State Farm is not the greatest anymore!
See the U Tube video America is not the greatest country anymore. That is how the leadership needs to be addressed to put the train back on track. There is motive and there is reality. They talk diversity and learning environment but when you... — read more
The Titanic
I like to compare SF to,the Titanic. Newest technology, fast, unsinkable, indestructible,luxurious, the future. Full speed ahead!!! SF believes the same lies. However, it's iceberg is coming and it will sink accordingly. Just hope the captain goes... — read more
Commitment Letters?

Free water cups made this company great. Time to bring them back.
Let me take you on a journey. The year is 2015, and there are free water cups stacked to the ceiling in the corporate cafeteria. SF is adding more autos than geico and progressive combined, and Bloomington IL is absolutely THRIVING. The housing... — read more

Hitting The Roadmap Numbers

State Farm Bank-Regulator Reviews
https://ilbusinessdaily.com/stories/513051861-state-farm-bank-fsb-in-bloomington-rated-as-outstanding-by-feds I have not found the Bank to be particularly user friendly, but regulators are apparently impressed.
The T–dster
Shakespeare once famously wrote..." A Tipsturd by any other name us still a heaping smelly pile of worthless terds". Paraphrasing, of course and just an observation.
Billion Dollar Challenge
When I started working at State Farm, the company’s net worth was maybe 50-60 billion. The little slip of paper attached to my most recent policy gives a current number, if I recall correctly, of about 156 billion. That’s a lot of... — read more
