SUPREME COURT JUST BLOCKED BIDEN'S VACCINE MANDATE!
Only people who have no other options will stay here
It looks to me that everyone who has another option is leaving. I have noticed that people are no longer so picky, their priority is simply to leave State Farm. It seems that only people who are not marketable at all and who have no other options... — read more

Careful of the choices you make!
Everyone look at your 401K. They took away your pension and now focus on a 401K. Look at your 2025 401K. It's in negative YES RED territory. Then, you go to the grocery store and the shelves are empty. Then, take a look at the prices of your... — read more

How not to repeat the same mistakes?
Before I came here I thought I had done my research well and that I would be fine here. I didn't think the company was ideal, but let's just say I thought my priorities would be met. Well, it didn't happen! Now that I am leaving for a new company... — read more

Anyone in SFPP / SFBilling?
Hi. I work in billing. Specifically in SFBilling, which I was hired to do after being a decent performer in SFPP. This modernization cr-p is the d-mbest sh-t SF has ever done. I have never had so many agents yelling at me on the daily — SFPP was... — read more
Boxes in ceiling Corp South

Mandatory overtime
I knew this was coming but god damn, State Farm can’t even give its employees the full holidays without going back to mandatory overtime. Nope it starts back up on fu----g New Year’s Day. I don’t think the executives of this company care about their... — read more
Can't help but feel envy
for those who are no longer part of the State Farm. They finally got some relief from all this. I hope to get a new job soon, because here it's impossible to work and be happy and relaxed? (unless you're one of those at the top of course)
Layoffs in the first quarter
Do we know yet if we'll have layoffs sometime at the start of the year, like usual?
My Christmas Wish!

Some even have time for side jobs
I have nothing against people who have side gigs, I'm not very interested in other people's lives. What interests me is how do they manage to have those side gigs? I’m so overwhelmed with work here, that there’s no way I’d be able to have another... — read more

How many more people are needed?
