SF is motivating employees out the door

Quiet Firing Warning Signs

  • Changes related to work responsibilities:
  • Reassigning important job responsibilities to other employees
  • Demoting an employee, or changing their job description
  • Not assigning promising new opportunities
  • Setting up unreasonable performance targets
  • Giving an employee responsibilities that are undesirable or misaligned with their role
  • Preventing an employee from receiving a well-deserved promotion

Sounds familiar?

"dont worry guys we wont spend all of our bonus money on front line worker inflation adjustments, just toss them a few more bucks on the yearly bonus and supplement financial losses with more emails and SF.net articles stating we understand and care"

No seriously thanks for the extra 1% raise next year, that would have caused me to break even on inflation prior to covid! Glad I could shoulder the burden for our customers and executives!

Yes. Tipsord admitted the current loss results are his fault on the executive IDL.

Does SF leadership ever admit errors? If the answer is no, be suspicious!

adjusting pay for inflation would be cheaper than keep paying ECRs and they would have better success in hiring but no ... they rather pay claims bare minimum and keep having this issue and have to use ECRs and pay way more... why? because they have no idea what they are doing , would say its numbers thing but if they were looking at numbers they would realize its cheaper to hire people while paying better but nope they want to underpay people and wonder why people dont want to work at SF claims?? flipping burgers pays the same starting wave in the hubs , this is what they are competing against.

They haven't overhired at all recently. In fact, theyre hiring hundreds more in multiple departments and bringing on hundreds of ECRs due to remaining understaffed. Upper management just has no clue how to treat employees and have continued embracing a toxic work environment.

I've never worked at a company where I've felt for so long that the company seems to want their employees to hate them and leave. Given the companies past, and how it treated people so well, it cannot be just a byproduct of change or whatever they want to call it. Its intentional reduction of staff.

Seems they overshot the turnover as of recent, and need to back it up a bit, not that there have been any improvements beyond saying they want to do better and maybe some SF home page articles giving the appearance they care, as it doesnt cost money.

Probably would invest into the person that complains a lot of they have a solution, but 9.9/10 people can’t put their ego aside to pass the ball off to someone else to get things popping.

The way you described team players, reminds me of mouth breathers.

This is the problem, we don’t reward our top performers, all they get in claims for top performance is more claims to handle. We need you to work so and so claims because they are out again, they are behind again etc. Then you get the same rating they do , SF leadership is so lost.

Hmmm, let me talk this over with the rest of my bosses.....do I want to keep this guy who is always complaining and unhappy?

Or do I want to concentrate on employees who are team players?

Keep burning those bridges and keep quiet quiting!

Roles and duties change. Also, if you're someone that can't get the work done or doesn't put forth the effort, why should an employer keep you as an employee? Doesn't make sense to waste money on a horrible employee.

Honestly it shows how much mental illness is in corporate environments. Quiet quitting to now quiet firing. So much projection about why a comfortable wage cannot be compensated.
