Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

ET managers and ET directors hiring externally ignoring older internal qualified candidates

It appears the EEOC may need to be brought in to investigate ET managers and egotistical IT architects In disallowing and ignoring JOP submissions. They invite you to a meeting and even reach out over email and Skype asking you to join their team. Then you apply and interview then wait 3-4 weeks in a notification that you were not selected via a deny generic myblock notification. While you notice they have posted multiple jobs For same position externally on Linked In days after you interview. Then you wait 3 weeks to be told you were not selected via a disconnected generic email notification you s—. Even though your were recommended by 10+ internal State Farm associates. It appears ET managers and IT architects need to be fired and investigated for wasting policy holder money. Meaning they should have moved the internal State Farm employee to their team. But do not due to saving money and not taking the budget of a tenured older associate that has a salary of a RE4 pay even though still at a RE-3 level.

That’s what social engineering and calling it digital and ET does. The corruption of trendy systems and sale and sharing of customer data For “big data grabs” and shady marketing.

People are getting to Promotions and raises and titles.

It all lacks integrity and the insurance industry in general has too.

On the outside looking in a Manager posting a comment that an employee is entitled as hell. Tells me to stay away from this company. It appears that managers in ET are entitled to act that they founded this company. I’ll take my business elsewhere thank you, what a id–t response to an existing employee reaching out to an external forum to let out steam. Yet to still be stomped on by management. Just wow.....

The OP needs to get over him/herself. Why do you feel entitled? Many leaders post both internally and externally to have a broad pool. As one of those managers, I’ll always go with the internal employee if they are about the same competitiveness as an external because a) despite what you think we want to provide opportunities internally and b) it’s far less ramp up time. I’ve gone into interviews where I thought I knew who I’d hire but I always keep an open mind, only to be blown away by someone else or realize another candidate had the skills/experience my team needed or offered an industry perspective we were lacking. For me, it’s AWS skills, hard to find internally. Frankly to the OP, sounds like you just got beat out plain and simple. That has nothing to do with the EEOC. And given your whining, the manager probably made a good decision because you sound entitled as hell.

Lastly, managers don’t do the posting externally or send that email, it’s HR. And I agree, the non-select notification s—s, I’ve gotten them before too. Don’t complain to the manager, that’s HRs process.

@fju so you are saying TMs are no different than any other level of employee at SF? Not sure what your diatribe has to due with employees who don't have the skill set necessary or don't bother to prep for their interview. No one knows why the OP did not get the job, maybe this post is sour grapes and they were not a good candidate, maybe they do want to replace 30 year employees with brand new employees. Everything on this site is suspect to begin with so take it with a grain of salt.

This is nothing new. Agree it’s blatant disrespect and exploitation. Leadership and the “social engineering” and budgeting at SF lacks a lot is wisdom and integrity

How many TMs are trash? They can't keep a marriage, they drink like fish, have family members that are criminals, have substance abuse issues, and careless about the people they manage. If you have problems with the people under management it says a lot about mgmt. To refer to people as trash, that TM should look at himself and the leadership around him/her.

Not saying this happened to you but as a TM in claims I can't tell you how many times internal candidates f— up the interview with their sense of entitlement. They may be qualified but can't answer any of the questions coherently. Then we repost externally and get HR screeners passing through more trash

Thanks, I’ve observed JOB posting openings show is only accessible to external candidates. Disallowing internal associates from applying, apparently there are no more opportunities in ET? As it appears they are set at posting to External folks Only and ignoring existing internals.if so then don’t post to the JOP system going forward. Maybe the goal is to work around HR red tape and not select an internal candidate. Ensuring an internal tenured associate won’t onboard lessening risk in calling out management in Any observed improvement opportunities. Thus keeping the status quo....

Okay this is a HR issue, do have an example that you could provide? If not I will contact the EEOC in investigating to determine and scour ET manager email and Skype conversations. Ensuring State Farm is holding these managers accountable to follow US department of labor laws?
