How many of you......
How many of you who have left State Farm or have retired from State Farm would go back to work for State Farm today? How many believe State Farm is a better company today compared to what it was 50 years ago?
Sometimes walking away really is the only option
Five years of micromanaging, angry clients, and being treated like a kid. I finally hit the point where I said no more. Scariest move of my life but now I sleep through the night.
Any SF employees want to get together and SUE?
Is anyone tired of constant rejection? Favoritism? Unethical and ineffective hiring? Bullsh-t run around? Mental health decline due to stress of job and unknown? Can we all stand together and sue? How does this work? How do we do it? Anyone have... — read more
Count another one!
I was going out to meet some friends this weekend for drinks and took an Uber. The driver stated he ditched his corporate gig about 2 years ago and has been doing Uber ever since and would never go back to a corporate sh-t hole. He asked me what I... — read more
Why would anyone want to work here?
Oh right, because there aren’t that many different options out there. They’ve cornered us into putting up with absurd levels of bullying, pressure, overtime, and exhaustion, while the only payoff is the chance we might get to keep our jobs. Just... — read more

If you actually want a balanced life, don’t sign up to work at State Farm
The company will extract every bit of effort you can give while offering almost nothing in return. Eventually, the abuse will end when the company collapses, but by then, the damage to your sanity and personal life will already be done. Just some... — read more
Pay us to leave!
Please State Farm, pay us to leave! I've been here 30 years and do not even need a years pay or the enhanced severance plan which has a maximum of 78 weeks pay! I would take 6 months worth of pay which is basically what UPS is doing for its 20,000... — read more
Has any department gotten the
Voluntary exit email yet?
Any idea how many people might actually end up being impacted?
I mean, after the voluntary exits are counted. I’m honestly worried about the possibility of losing my job. I’ve been casually looking at what’s out there, but the market keeps looking tougher and tougher. Finding something new, or even managing the... — read more

We were just told by our TM that personal lines will be over staffed by around 500 by the end of the year. Said people we will either be moved to claims or part of the severance/transition. She told us that they are waiting on upper leadership/HR to... — read more
How many of you won't call your State Farm policies?
I'm amazed at how many co-workers I talk to weekly that absolutely despise this place and hate every single aspect of their job but still pay State Farm thousands every month in premiums? Is it Stockholm Syndrome? This company is a total living... — read more

If they'd just change the retirement plan
To a years of service + age = magic number for full retirement pension, a lot would just retire without a severance offer. Looks like this would cost the company less and get the salaries off the books and onto the pension program. Then they could... — read more
Did anyone else get a letter about their pension?
I left State Farm about 2 years ago and had only worked for them 8 years. Last week I got a letter stating they were buying out my pension based on ERISA and IRS guidelines and gave me a link to a web-site for more information. Did anyone else get... — read more
Cheap labor
A company is competitive by taking advantage of cheap indentured labor importation and outsourcing work to sweatshops. If you need to see change then elect politicians that will change laws to protect American jobs by banning H1B, reducing... — read more
Who will be targeted?
Anyone have any idea about who will be targeted by the layoffs?
Redesign of the system
Finally had a chance to read through the severance plans and it is hilarious they are making you fill out an application to decide if they want to fire you. LOL!! It dawned on me after reading the AT&T email someone posted on here, they are... — read more
Can SF get anymore clueless with it commercials
Just saw the Meghan Trainor SF commercial. Can SF get any more ghetto or low rent? I guess they are targeting the 2040 population just like the 2040 workforce. It's embarrassing SF! I wonder why were are #2. #2... that basically sums up... — read more
Why the new severance plans, it's a much bigger issue! Wake up lemmings.....
Most people are clueless of the world around them but please prepare. Here is why they are coming out with the severance plan(s) changes. SF is f-cked and so is our society. Verify and do your own research, you don't have to believe me... but this... — read more
Union!
I know its been said here many times and I know people do not have enough gumption or unity to do it but the only thing and I mean the only things that brings these useless ba----ds to their knees is a union. It is what they were designed to do. I... — read more
Job security is an illusion
Some folks still act like this place offers a real career path. The truth is, most of us are just hoping to stay employed another week. Thinking long term here is setting yourself up for disappointment.
SF and Corporate America is hilarious
So was reading the new Severance and Enhanced Severance plan and it say for those effected by this, they will have to submit an "application" to be approved by leadership. Laughed my arsss off. Think about that, they want you to submit an... — read more
What a toxic company
I wish they'd offer voluntary exit to all depts. Remember all that put in won't get selected for it. This would get older employees out of here. Leave more jobs open for the ones that need to stay. Just because it's offered in your area don't mean... — read more
They’ll outsource us into oblivion, won’t they?
It just goes to show they don’t care about service quality, employees, or clients. It’s always been about the bottom line, and their appetite for more never ends.

I’ve stayed here far too long
I’d take any deal that lets me walk away with severance.
Go ahead and sign
Go ahead and sign so they know who the disgruntled people are and can put the sc--ws on you harder. The goal has not changed and the goal is still to get rid of as many people as possible without having to pay ANY severance. Even if you sign you can... — read more
Stop all the expensive advertising
If you want to get rid of people hiking calling it voluntary severance - look at cutting unnecessary expenses. Starting with the high profile celebrity advertising and then the high end large six figure executive salaries. Both those classes of folks... — read more
I hope a lot of people take the voluntary layoffs
It would at least lessen the chances of the rest of us ending up on the chopping block. I’m still hoping to keep this job. Not because I care about it, or about the company, but because the options out there are practically nonexistent. They’ll keep... — read more
Who else is praying to get the offer?
I've been trying to leave anyhow. Getting paid to do it would be as good as it gets.
