I am interested in what those who have been here for several years or more will have to say.

SMs and above in Express have told TMs they are being too nice and need to start PM over things like handle time. Peons get ready.

Who are the winners if this one?

One of the long lasting issues with management. You get CS that gets promoted to a manager role BUT that person has never actually worked the actual job or a claim in that segment. Why would you put a CS into a manager role in a different department... — read more 

Does anyone actually like how they run this company? I doubt there are many of you who do.

There are extensive rumors of Information Security layoffs. The rumors are all but confirmed for externals. What’s reality here?

State Farm is transitioning all 401K investments to Vanguard which is heavily involved in ESG. As this type of investigating violates their fiduciary responsibility, a class action suit on behalf of all employees is a viable option.

People sometimes comment on all the ways this company could be recovered. The only problem is, I haven't noticed that our leadership has any desire to do it!?

Information Security leadership is in a bad place. The only useful Director left the company this week. In a showcase this week, the first line leaders were awful and did not understand their own teams and how their work affects the business... — read more

Joining management, I haven’t felt the need to come on this site. Maybe you all should just… idk… grow up and come drink the Koolaid. It’s hot outside.

Anybody know what the meeting is about? Seems very important and urgent.

They all drink the same Kool Aid and scheme together! Good for their employees! Exactly like State Farm! https://insurancenewsnet.com/innarticle/nationwide-adjusters-make-6-demands-to-rectify-overwork-concerns

"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:... — read more 

I am ashamed to say that I still work here. How did leaders manage to destroy the company's reputation like this? Unbelievable.

Our location is going through and effort to consolidate use of office space. I get that, but at the same time all the spaces they are creating have the short cubicle walls. Going into office creates enough distraction why make it worse with the short... — read more 

Lets see there was a record breaking 13.2 billion underwriting loss for 2022 and has the amount of his bonus check been revealed ?

The quality of the employees is no longer important here. That wasn't the case in the past.

One reason State Farm is doing soooo much hiring and is about to be overstaffed, is they are going to freeze the pension for pension eligible employees. People already receiving benefits will be fine for now. I know it has been mentioned a lot as... — read more

With Covid over, what’s the future of hybrid work? Do you all think they will try to get people in the offices more than what they are now? Also the job market seems to be shifting a bit. What does 2024 hold for us?

Perhaps I'm wrong but my impression is that the new employees never stayed here for a shorter time. What a colossal waste of resources by the company! What's the shortest time you know someone has stayed here?

Are agents just not training new team members anymore? I work in SFPP and the number of calls we’ve gotten from people whose aliases start with VAD and VAE who don’t have the slightest clue how to do their jobs have increased exponentially. — read more

I have absolutely no explanation why this company looks favorably on slackers. They totally ignore the negative effects that slackers have on hard working employees.

The site name implies that it is about LAYOFFS. Maybe they should change it ???? Nothing but Moanin', Groanin', Complainin' goin on here......

I heard a rumor that they’re getting rid of the yearly bonuses. Has anyone else heard this or know if there’s truth to it?

Don’t be surprised when it happens. Work ethic of the majority of the new generation ruining it for everyone.

On my last one on one, my TM advised I didn’t take as many calls as the rest of my team during the last few months and that I was falling behind. I explained that I was off on PTO for a few weeks in January so I would not have the same amount of... — read more
