Mandatory extra hours
Some colleagues think that terminating an employee who refused to work overtime is illegal, but I'm not sure about that. I wouldn't want to refuse to work the mandated overtime because I still need this job and I'm trying to keep it until I get... — read more
Money over customer service

TL new people
So I’m on my break in the Illinois operations center, and see TL with 25-30 new people here for new hire orientation. How can one section need this many people? What kind of turnover is this claim section having?
No professionalism
I haven't been here for a long time, but I'm surprised by the amount of unprofessionalism that I honestly didn't expect here. Moreover, the one who tries to be professional starts to stick out from the rest and that's the way to get into trouble... — read more

Micromanagement instead of layoffs
If I were a manager, it would be really hard for me to be constantly monitoring employees and micromanaging every aspect of their work process. But my manager seems to enjoy it. Admittedly, this may be done with the intention to make people leave... — read more
Claims are treated very poorly
I'm too tired. Stress levels are astronomical. Is it even possible to force the company to treat the claims workforce any better?
Couldn't be more overworked
My mistake is that I was not a little more attentive to the market and left here much earlier. I'm just drained now. What frustrates me more than the triple workload I have to do in a short time is that the boss gives himself the right to say... — read more

Beth on behalf of Wensley
How can the company be a beacon for the customers and a good neighbor when it is so bad to it’s own employees?
Claims department is a toxic environment

A revolving door company only loses money
If a company attracts people who actually want to work, invests a lot to provide them with some kind of training, I consider it a great loss when these people leave in in a short time. If only they would pay those people a little more, maybe some... — read more

Why does SF Own so many sub-tech start ups!
I’m kind of confused how SF every now and then will advertise cutting edge AI/Tech companies “they own” while cars are halfway driving themselves nowadays. Money laundering through tech?

SF's advantages over competitors

Labor Hoarding
For once, I think we might be safe from layoffs. As somebody said in another thread, the job market is still not good for employers. If you tried to look for a new job recently, you know this is true. As a result, many companies are not laying off... — read more
