One of the strangest things that I’ve experienced at State Farm is the complete. disregard for anyone who has experience knowledge or wisdom with respect to being at the company for an extended period of time. Instead, we put an inexperienced people in section manager leadership development opportunity over someone who has over two decades of experience because the person with over two decades of experience is a white male in their 50s. But we are a company of integrity right? Fu-k the fu-k off. People work their entire careers for opportunities, move to hubs to be ignored late in their careers. Disgusting

State Farm has been doing this for a long long long time. State Farm would rather pay the high price for inexperienced leadership compared to tenure and knowledge. The big hits for decisions like this are forthcoming because when it happens to the workforce they have now, they will not take it like prior generations like the boomers did because of their entitlement attitude. Mark my word. The pi-ple is ready to be popped!
@xe you must be one of the 30 year-old TMS with no experience who doesn’t know what the he-l they’re doing
@OP 100% truth. 30 year-old managers with no experience who don’t even pretend to know what they are doing or even try, LDA section managers who can’t even manage an ownership or stewardship team. So much experience and knowledge going to waste. This company is nothing but a joke anymore. The blind leading the blind is what it is turning into. The experienced claim specialists should be used as a resource. A claim file is supposed to speak for itself, but our claim files are just plain embarrassing these days.
Did an LDA/SM actually write this, or did the TM that brought them down? Reads like the rantings of a child throwing a temper tantrum because they are disturbed.
100 percent and if you are not at corporate you may as well not exist
Out of sight out of mind whether fully remote or in a hub
So many retirements lately so much knowledge going out the door
It is a “brain drain”
They only want you if you check multiple boxes. They must receive some kind of tax break to do so. As far as the knowledge gap? SF ought to be worried about climbing out of number two spot instead of sending tenured people out the door as fast as possible. Do they think they will reclaim the top spot with the inexperienced people they've put in charge? They have a better chance at becoming number three than getting back to number one. That would take years. Problem is, they're holding tight to BPOs and HCL so any work to be done to get the company back to what it was will take years at the rate things are going. And for those who just rattle on about old, fat, lazy tenured people? F-you. At least we had a better education system that taught us work ethic and planning. Don't be jealous of other people's work.
It's been that way for the past 30 to 40 years. It's in every part of the company. No one is paid based on a work ethic. Tell you something?
Made up construct.
They only want and need sheeple! Lemmings! Who is the easiest to brain wash, convenience they are a victim, abused, and want all the benefits with none of the responsibilities! I will let you figure that one out....
