Several areas in claims, help desk and SFPP have been outsourced to a company in India. If they can save pennies on the dollar… why wouldn’t they? Problem is.. the language barrier and the fact they can’t understand what we do. I can assure you the... — read more
To those in power: go all the way!
Today’s announcement was the best thing ever. Offer it widespread. I agree there are countless old id--ts who need to leave. (And I am one of them). They are expensive. They don’t give a cr-p. They are barriers to moving work along. The absolute... — read more
NOW OFFER FULL RETIREMENT
With age plus years of service equal full retirement pay as if you worked to age 62. Get these old timers out of here and off the books and onto the retirement plan. That's way cheaper than paying them to hang on till 62.
Voluntary Layoffs, 2018 Vibes
If this is just an HR plan update, why couldn't they just update the HR manual quietly and not send out a freaking email to give everyone anxiety? "You aren't affected now, but you may be in the future....one day!" I'm having 2018 ET flashbacks ... — read more

Why is claims such a s%#{ show?
This is my third carrier in 10 years and by far the most clueless organization I’ve ever been part of. Too many of the tenured managers don’t care anymore and that seems to be problem 1. Best of luck to those who remain. 2 years has been enough for... — read more
State Farm is barely holding together

SF is the is the worst of the worst! Bottom of the trash barrel
The worst thing about SF is that it's a Mutual Company and there is no one to hold the Executives accountable for their actions. A Mutual Company works when the Executives are in it for the mutual benefit of the policyholders and employees. When you... — read more
They are upping surveillance on your workstations
I noticed in the grand new update they just released one of the programs newly installed is Impero Connect Host. This means they can monitor your screens in real time without notifying you.
New Corporate America tactics!
Continue to keep your eyes open and resume's ready as SF is a pile of sh-t just like the rest of corporate America. Corporations like SF are slowly and methodically sealing/draining our nation and our way of life's doomed faith. Return to work... — read more
Fruit Cups!

Let the madness continue, it's going to get a lot worse!
SF is going to miss growth goals this year as we are around 450K new autos and expected to be around 600K. Sc--wed on merit/EIP/MIP. Execs expect to grow 1.6 million new autos next year and then 2.5 million autos the year after that. This means it... — read more

Employees are checked out
Employees don't care anymore. They don't promote this business by word of mouth, if anything they discourage doing business with SF. Sad but true. Employees are no longer invested in the success of the company. It's simply a days pay for a days work... — read more
Agency business meeting in London last week..

Working Internal Audit as a Technology Auditor
What's it like working in IA as a Technology Auditor. Culture, workload, in-office expectations, etc.
This is corporate America
Our Execs are complete narcissists, who thrive on power and control, so they often hire and promote people who are easy to control, easy to manipulate and eager to please. They usually lack confidence or highly dependent on validation. Instead of... — read more

The people running P&C claims
Have no clue. Claims is a sh-t show. The entire company is a sh-t show.
Worst company ever
This is hands down the worst place I’ve ever worked. I wouldn’t recommend working here or even doing business with SF. The dysfunction runs deep. Avoid if you can.
State Narcissists Insurance Company
Our Execs are complete narcissists, who thrive on power and control, so they often hire and promote people who are easy to control, easy to manipulate and eager to please. One reason we have so many women and minorities now in leadership. Woke! They... — read more
Employee Opinion Survey - Scr-w SF!
Be sure to let them know what a sh-t hole this place is! It won't change anything but at least creates a strong paper trail if someone decides to take legal action when they f-ck with the wrong person.
Other departments
Are things this bad in Life company? Health company? Mutual funds? Is it only P&C and Systems that are being abused?
Workforce Realignment is coming
What does it mean? I guess time will tell.

No more agents! I didn't see that in our survey.

Talking out of both sides of their mouth
SF is saying the survey is to see what the employees want to HELP RETAIN EMPLOYEES all while FORCING EMPLOYEES OUT. What a crock of sh-t. The survey had stupid a-s questions like would you rather pay higher insurance and have lower pay or higher... — read more
DO NOT WORK AT STATE FARM AND FIND A WAY OUT!
