Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Fed up and ready to move on

Five years of putting up with an angry manager and constant nitpicking wore me down. Getting treated like I couldn’t handle anything, with every tiny mistake blown out of proportion, was exhausting. On top of that, the micromanaging and feeling undervalued just added to the frustration. It’s time to leave that kind of toxic environment behind and find something that actually respects what I bring to the table.

It's not bragging when it is true! It's just a fact!

They're all alike. They say they appreciate your honesty but when you hit them with the cold hard facts about how they lie, steal, and cheat the little guy, you're an a$$hole.

You should have gone into agency, then you could be on here bragging about making 600k a year and spending 5 months a year at your beachfront in Naples.

Your boss here! I make $140,000 a year and get up to a 24% MIP and will clear over $160,000 this year! I have a pension worth $60,000 a year for the rest of my life. I did your job before you, did it better than you, probably had to do a lot more manually. I didn't grow up in era of snowflakes, preferred pronouns, and you had to have a degree, go threw 3-4 interviews and needed at least a 3.0 GPA to even get considered for a job. My feelersss are really are hurt when you mock me, especially when I have to eventually write up your request for termination. Breaks my heart!

With what is going on in the world today with no canceling and freedom of speech, they have hurt way too many people to hide their deep dark truths.

Get ready for 2025 SF folks, the be-tings will continue until the morale improves folks! It will be interesting to see if our new CEO JF can top MT's $24 million cash bonus and $8 million annual salary and fleece a few more hundred million dollars from our policyholders! This year is going to be an absolute sh-t show for sure!

Never ever forget this...the pandemic only delayed who and what SF is and was! Plan is back on track! They intentionally want SF to be the worst company to work for. They are constantly applying pressure to make everyone as uncomfortable as possible! In 2019 State Farm statistically was the worst company to work for in the United States!

https://lethal-industry.com/business/how-mentorship-guides-victor-terrys-initiatives-as-state-farms-first-chief-diversity-officer/

"In 2019, 9.4% of State Farm employees quit their jobs, compared to 3% of Americans who quit their jobs in August 2019, the highest quit rate recorded by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. State Farm workers with longer tenure are more likely to stay: The share of employees who quit with five to nine years with the company is 1.2%, while employees with 10 or more years is below 1%."

@14a+1. Yup! A pattern with leadership. They use words like leadership that are a lie because a true leader would lead and never sell out their subordinates. I don't know how they can sleep at night with their 6 and 7/8 digit incomes and fly around on 50 million dollar jets. A very sick bunch who are unethical but sell they are.

Culture at SF has really nosedived in the last 15 years. We are now a company that seems to only be negative towards workers, managers add layers of stress for arbitrary metrics on top of an already extremely stressful job. Almost weekly we hear about the intent to replace us with people overseas or AI as we are worked to the bone, due to purposeful understaffing to penny pinch. We penny pinch on things like this, while also spending hand over fist on useless hub offices in boomtowns that NO ONE WANTS TO COMMUTE TO and is 100% not needed.

Its a horrible atmosphere, it keeps turnover sky high, it keeps the workforce new creating lots of double work and issues for the customer. Management does all it can to increase turnover it seems, all while gaslighting everyone about fixing the issue. I was hired 12 years ago to fix the staffing issue that has only gotten worse over those 12 years (its planned and what they want)

It wont change until leadership changes, which we are powerless to impact. Still blows my mind that theres been no real attempt to unionize all insurance claim handlers and underwriters.

Personally Im tired of hearing how they will turn it around, try, ect while seeing them in action do the exact opposite. Its like this for every large insurance company too.....this is what SF won when we decided to follow our competitors 15 years ago (odd the dominant company starts to follow its weaker competition isnt it?)

Eh well back to the void that this site is with the one person who doesnt work at SF posting all the threads then responding to it 5-10 times.

No using AI to screen out qualified applicants has ruined SF! Remember SF has a low wage/cost employee business model. Puppy mill!!! Most corporation these days use the same tactics all the while saying they only attract and retain "the best talent" knowing the whole time that is a joke. They want you to come in, work 2-3 years, burn you out and make you leave! Wash, Rinse, Repeat!!! You can only do this to people that have very few employment options, poor skill sets or minimum drive! SF is still relying on the tenured employees just hanging on for their pensions or severance to keep the wheels on!

Our training SU-KS. New hires up to 1yr of employment should be IN the office, with a few experienced reps around them. Pay the experienced reps a bit more for training. This is how we learned, we listened to each other, shot claim scenarios back and forth. WFH has hurt this company.

Leadership will never admit they error or create a liability. Any person who never admits they error is very suspect. Leadership admits they have no loyalty to the employee which IMO is an error and an admission of liability. To be a good neighbor one should be there to help the person having difficulty. Yes I have seen SF PICK SH*T WITH THE CHICKENS. It all depends on who you are and whether you look and "fit in" to their narrative. They refuse to sit down and discuss any differences. Their investigations are tailored to the outcome the leadership desires with no ability for the employee to have an independent investigation. Reserve your right to remain silent. Do not sign anything, keep all documentation and retain an attorney. They care less about any one lower than mgmt.

OK. But we really don’t know whether you are a competent employee, or you actually bring anything to the table. Best of luck to you.

To me, another sign of poor leadership and failure to train properly. Seen that cr-p happen many times and a lot of it is poor leadership.

If you want to survive learn how to kiss a$$. All the high performers do it. They love the taste of a TM’s brown eye.
