Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Management needs to be held accountable

Overtime mandatory over a year now. Seems management should be held accountable since it’s obviously not working and costing the company a fortune!

Or answer the question “How would you hold them accountable?” Just keep deflecting.

“Responsible” and “Accountable” don’t mean the same thing at all. You seem to be the confused one.
As an example, many people feel OJ Simpson was responsible for Nicole’s death, but that he was not held accountable for it. You seem to feel somebody is responsible for your overtime work. So I ask again…..how would you propose that they be held accountable?

Ah. I see what the problem is now and why you keep repeatedly asking what exactly it is that managers should be accountable for. It’s clear that you don’t understand what accountable means. It’s essentially the same as “responsible”. So to translate that for you, the OP was saying management is responsible for creating the mandatory overtime situation and should be dealt with for being a bunch of id--ts like yourself.

@iqnc….still haven’t “clarified” a thing. What does “accountable” mean to you? They are certainly paying you for the overtime. That literally means it shows up in the accounts. You also have the option to leave, which would show up in the accounts. The only thing left is for the board to toss them out. Unlikely during a very rough time for the industry, in which even Warren Buffet says State Farm is ki----g it. If you’re a policyholder, you could technically show up at the annual meeting to cast your one vote. Whining on here about undefined “accountability” achieves absolutely nothing.

“Still haven’t heard a word about what , specifically, they are to be accountable for.”

Why do you think there’s been mandatory overtime for over a year? Do you think it’s because we keep begging for it and we all tell our friends to file claims so we have tons more work requiring overtime?

You see, all it takes is a little common sense to realize that management is to blame for mandatory overtime and should be held accountable for all the horrible decisions they’ve made causing the mandatory overtime situation in the first place.

Happy now? Dang. Glad I could clarify that for you.

Still haven’t heard a word about what , specifically, they are to be accountable for. Just what they’ve done “ in general”.
Weak. Pathetic. Entitled. Nobody else is “accountable” for your feelings.

The Florida book example is weak. They did that because the policyholders called, emailed etc and said WTF. No Brainer. It's what they have done to the employees, their families and the business in general.

Management and executive incentive pay in 23 will reflect accountability. Employees will not be impacted. Why do you assume Yi retired with full benefits?

admitting an error or lapse in judgement is NOT the same as being held accountable.

In fact, further proof of lack of being held accountable if you can admit you are causing problems with the company and carry on as it....which is what happened here.

Or is being held accountable like allowing someone to retire early with full benefits due to incompetence like Robert Yi for the decision to freeze hiring in 2020?

Here is another one for the troll @3tra. Last executive briefing Tipsord literally took responsibility for the poor underwriting results this year. Now stfu.

@3tra…you have a very short memory. Or maybe just selective memory. Management apologized early and often for the Florida school book fiasco. And then changed the charitable giving philosophy

Metrics = Garbage In Garbage Out
That's why it doesnt work. Frontline supervisors are forcing workers to lie. Upperlings are too stupid to figure that out.

Tell me one time management has ever admitted error. Never that I can remember. Never have and never will.

Claims has always been the hardest job at this or any other insurance company. And it always will be.

I think most people are missing the point the OP is stating, their issue is why claims management always gets a pass with improper staffing, hence the non stop overtime. Claims jobs are the toughest in the company and generally the lowest paid, this is the big conversation worth having.

Who is “management”? Do you mean the operation? Managers are being required to work additional hours too and not getting additional pay. Just saying.

Management doesn't care about you or other employees. They only care about their metrics.

Its why we only use a metric based system. Its so easy to conceal issues when all you look at are select numbers meant to represent the business.

Basically, as far as the board sees it, executives are doing great. There is no concern from what I can tell about turnover, burn out, over time, or employee happiness....unless its a cheap email going out.

Just how, pray tell, would you propose to “hold them accountable”? And for what, exactly? They are not responsible for your personal happiness, and that seems to be the issue.

Maybe not fire you but you’ll be given a level 1 rating which means 0 EIP and zero pay raise - so sure go ahead and refuse that’ll work out great for ya.

Just don’t do it. What are they going to do? Fire you and have one less person working core hours?
