Looks like the whipping boy for a lot of people is leaving. Thoughts?

Robert Yi was a really arrogant "leader". He was always chaffing at the bit to close offices and getting rid of good people. The leadership of State Farm are total corporate jackels. What happened to integrity?
Exactly. Sitting at home in pajamas eating doritos while on the phone is nothing like being on the ground in the military
General’s normally have experience in the military before becoming a general.
Generals don't eat without a mess hall.
Generals dont come from the mess hall
You have to make a point to miss one.
You clearly missed the point.
Good, freaking, riddance!! Wish he left years ago and taken the philanderer CEO with him.
Never in the 100 year history has there been such a lack of actual claim experience and expertise at the highest executive levels. Not CEO, not COO, not EVP, not SVP. Same can be said for underwriting.
@5adp He has stood behind changes that don't make sense and have hurt employees and customers for the past several years. Why would anything change that now?
Could be that he was being asked to enact changes that he wasnt comfortable with
The older generation always has that viewpoint. Good thing that never plays out. Things change abd evolve and granpa sitting on his rocker talks about truman and the good ole years while sipping his moonshine
History will show that most all companies including SF did not make the right decision! WH is obviously a diversity hire and good for him. I hope he gets his money and does the best he can. I hate to be so philosophical but our society basically can't even manage or address the simplest of problems. SF included! Almost all businesses are morally and ethically bankrupt. If you make a deal with the devil he will eventually collect. Political correctness has destroyed just about anything worth destroying. I encounter so many new employees at SF that are completely clueless on just about everything in reality. They have lived their lives on Facebook and Twitter, heads buried in the sand. The poor little snowflakes, participation ribbon for everything, no such thing as failure, have never heard the word no, and expect everything and I mean everything now. SF is hiring them by the droves and they will be the ones riding it down. I literally pray ever day for a SF buy-out and a cash out of my pension....so I can jump off the sinking ship. Bigger companies that SF have lost it all and I'm pretty sure SF will too! Can you see these stupid fu-ks running this company 10 years down the road! Time is not on our side!
History will show that he made the right tough decisions.
If he did any good, he was at the helm and agreed with disposing and considering the workforce a commodity. Part of the problem with no solutions nor ability to effectively communicate with his workforce.
Please explain the good he provided. Like most svps he rode the change wave and profited from the backs of others. He never considered the human costs but only what humans cost. I don’t see any good!
We lost a good one.
@2wbk so let me understand you are saying one of the biggest d0uchebags at SF will be replaced by another d0uchebag? Interesting.
When you learn the new leader of claims you will wish Yi never left. Real ball buster but seems really nice on the surface…..
@2vmy Yi will be missed like a case of he---s. Sorry, he does not get a pass, he is an SVP. There is limited leadership above him. Unless Tippy is personally making all company decisions the claims fiasco is on Yi, Tippy signed off on it so he gets his share of blame too.
Reputations.
Ok Tipsy.....and creepy hands Smith.....so you have given 3 Claims OVPs and 1 SVP their buy-out packages and they get to ride off into the sunset. Please do it for the rest of us that want out of this sh-t ho-e company. Do the right thing. Time for you to completely purge SF of anyone linked to legacy SF. Start the next 100 years with a clean slate. Save some decency, honor and respect..... and do the right thing!!!! Offer anyone with 20+ years of service a buyout package and a little credit for time service. 1 year working in this he-l ho-e is at least equal to 2-3 somewhere else! Step up!!!!!!!
Yi will be missed. You will see who was really pulling the strings
So Yi is retiring afrer he sent out that sorry a55 email 2 weeks ago.
Yi will be enjoying his high 6 figure pension for decades to come……
@1aiz you are right, the course is set and nothing will change with Yi retiring. That does not mean we as employees have to attend his party and wish him well. As the architect of this disaster, he deserves a measure of pain and suffering in retirement.
If you think much is going to change because of this retirement, you're going to be disappointed. This ship is not changing course. At least not horizontally
I wish Yeezy nothing but a short and miserable retirement.
This is going to be mind blowing for you but….the Minotaur on the Progressive commercial is not real😱
I have even a better idea, let do a commercial replacing white Jake with a black Jake and the black Jake gets a ton of free sh-t.... like pizza, ranch dressing and steaks. Maybe even shot hoops with Chris Paul........but since it is just a commercial it is not a code of conduct violation!!!! LOL!!!
A manager from an office supply company could easily move into an svp position here
Maybe they will bring in someone from Staples or Office Depot... maybe an ex-Pharmaceutical Exec!
Hopefully somebody from finance.
Wonder who will be named to that role?

whipping boy??? he was the leader of the show. anything wrong with claims is on him.
maybe if he'd taken more diversity training....
They are cleaning house and jumping ship..... that is 3 Claims VPs and a SVP of Claims in the last month. 4 top claims executive is not just a coincidence...more to come. Future claim model is going to be awfullllll....
Good luck to him. Hope he finds retirement to be what he was working for.
I would retire too with the claim staffing debacle that rests at his hands. The 3rd Q Voice & View will generate negative results at epic levels from employees who have been working two jobs for the pay of one. Claims is a hot mess and the person coming in has their work cut out for them. At least he and I have the same thoughts in mind, getting out!
