It was a terrible experience to get dumped after 23 years knowing several less tenured and by far less productive employees stayed. I handled three times more work than my co workers. The TMs were political animals and were terrible leaders. I’m not... — read more 

Hi heard the SL position is under review. Was wondering if anyone else had heard.

It’s amazing to me that this company is still number one in Auto. With all the Slave Farm employees pulling their own policies plus all the external customer policies we are losing we will be 2 or 3 in no time. Everyone who has been dedicated to... — read more

Does anyone know when they’re going to build the dome for those left in the employee pool? Will it be all employees vying for the same departments all at once or some kind of tournament? Weapons? The communications have been terrible!

Anyone see all the jobs State Farm is posting on Monster?

EEOC - go on line and file for interview NOW, let the government know your concerns, even if you’re still working, to report discrimination and violation concerns. This is one of the few ways we have to get outside review. The first step is to file... — read more 

Went to claim school in 1985 in Bloomington and got riffed in 2008. Landed on my feet but just now making what I was making when I hit canned. I handle claims all over the country for a major trucking company. It’s been a cool job as I’ve mediated... — read more 

Being with SF for years, I am leaving sooner than expected due to the proximity transition, and chose to opt out. It seems now doing a good job and working hard is no longer enough for SF, and loyalty is disregarded. The push for more is constant... — read more 

If you're not going to quit, and creating a Union could potentially be futile, then collectively employees need to stop bending over backward to hit the metrics until the company is forced to change them. If the targets are unreasonable and damaging... — read more

When do ET assignments and offers start? Some have gotten assignments already I hear. People are already talking as if they are moving here or there... does anyone actually know anything yet or is it just speculation and rumor? This is so messed up.

Here's what SF people aren't getting. This isn't all about SF, it's going on across the entire industry and economy. We are losing policies because people are broke, not because they're suddenly deciding to switch to the competition. People are... — read more 

We r losing policies ie money like crazy. I just don't get it. At this rate we will be insolvent. Customers are saying no to high prices and average or less customer service.

For those of us that have invested years and have managed to stay until now, would you consider a labor union? The right of workers in private employment to form unions and bargain collectively with their employers is guaranteed by the National Labor... — read more 

The way things have been unraveling, it looks like we are talking about thousands employees laid off, not hundreds. Am I wrong?

Chairman's Council, Legal and Investment departments so far, unscathed. HR, Claims, IT, Ad Servc, Bank. Op Ctrs, parts of Agency and Mrktng and customers are all paying the price of poor executive decisions and years of empire building. I'm sure I... — read more 

Apparently we won’t receive any clear understanding of the L & D cuts. Did they cut all positions outside BL and hubs? Anyone know the actual numbers? Now there are 50 job postings? What is going on with those jobs?

Used to you could get a replacement lanyard from building (floor) support. No more, as you have to go to the company store and buy one for a couple bucks. Ya i get it those couple bucks add up but in also get penny wise pound foolish also

Do you, or do you know anyone who has NOT lost all respect for Tipsord and the Board? Both parties are very incompetent at this point!

We were told the SCP's would be all we would need to handle claims...what a joke. There are so many grey areas in claim handling that you have to have training and experience to figure out and understand the grey areas. The SCP's are as clear as... — read more
