Everyone knows that you should always have everything recorded, but people relax and forget about it, until they get into the situation I got into. If I had everything recorded, this would not be a very difficult period for me now. So now I just came... — read more
Team MGD claims - Communist Russia?
Anybody else seen the parallels or make the connection yet? No personal accountability on those so-called “shared claims.” Lazy incompetent adjusters barely move a claim forward and let the person behind them deal with it. Re-work up the a$$ for... — read more
Changes to pay.
So during huddle today in injury, my TM stated SF will be revising the ranges and pay next year. Does anyone know if this is claims specific or SF in general ?
Used to work SF in SFPP and curious what it's like now?
I used to work at SF in SFPP from 2015 - 2019 until moving out of state for another opportunity. 2 weeks after I made the announcement I'm leaving, I found out, i received the promotion to an Analyst role in SFPP, which was the role I wanted for the... — read more
False accusations?
I am pondering.... is anyone else in SF land receiving false accusations about performance?
Mtherfunners!
I better see a good raise, a better than last year bonus and an extra something first quarter of 2022. I know I am replaceable, I am just a number. I will find another job… actively looking and focusing on myself. SF CEO is very well taken care off... — read more

Claims is getting played for fools!
Every single claims employee is getting played for fools! Bend over!!!! They are never going to stop the madness as they do not see people as a resource but only as a human resource expense to the company. I spoke with someone in upper leadership... — read more
The issue is with managers
The verbal abuse is out of control in claims. It is stressful for the employee and their colleagues and their families. HR used to be involved in these situations, but they no longer get involved. The sad part is it is not necessary. Most employees... — read more
Fostering resentment between employees
Competition between employees can be good for productivity. I don’t think there is any more healthy competitiveness at SF however. Increasingly, I am witnessing conflicts and latent animosity among my colleagues. I don't justify it, but I understand... — read more

StateFarm bank VP finally retires
Well well well…another proven leader (not) retires with the big parachute. Reality is tough, proven that you cannot make an agency person or a CPA a banker. Where were the brains of this company when we made this decision to be in banking. Someone... — read more
Will it ever be better here?
I don't believe it will ever be as good as it used to be when I first started working here. Back then, one could still feel dignified working here. Now this is a completely different company. I'm counting the days until retirement, but for the sake... — read more

How long until Biden plan gets enacted here.
So how long will it be before WFH ends for hubs?
Returning for five days a month for now. When will it be 4 weeks a month? You know they want us all under their watchful eyes.
You know it's a joke
You know this company is a joke when you see all the wrong people getting promoted. Took me sometime but I learned how to play the game. Once you realize that not caring and finding ways to make it look like your doing something when your not is the... — read more
WFH news?
Word on the street is WFH ends early November.
HR is just another call center?
Where do employees go to address any employee issue? When can we talk to our first line leaders about any issue we may have? Better yet, what can they do for us if all they do all day is run reports to satisfy the never ending thirst for data the... — read more
Is there anyone who is happy with their job at SF?
I can no longer believe that this used to be a good place to work. I know that there is no ideal company, but here it seems to me that no one is satisfied with their job and this company anymore? Maybe just the ones at the top? Even my manager looks... — read more
I would highly encourage you to leave.
Word to the wise! Unless you have 20+ years I would leave State Farm NOW!!! Start over somewhere else while the job market is great! Get out of insurance! Some of the current forecasts for our current staffing problems do not go away for at least... — read more
Not much longer now
With the bulk of INJ CA New Mail tasks going to CS starting next week, get ready for some R3markable claim handling. Apparently CS weren’t that busy and CAs are just “operational waste?”
Not paid enough to endure verbal abuse
It didn’t happen to me personally, but my colleague was exposed to verbal abuse by the manager almost every day. No one is paid enough to endure verbal abuse, but that person is still at SF just because the bills have to be paid. I hope that he... — read more
It is just a dream…
All claim’s people don’t log in for one day… virtual walk out. Are they going to fire us all? They need to understand we are humans.
I'm happy to see more and more people leaving
I'm happy that so many are landing in situations better than this one. Let's be honest, at this point, it's hard to find something that wouldn't be better than State Farm. In addition, more people leavening voluntarily hopefully means fewer layoffs... — read more
Claims gets screwed again
So Complex Property was just told they will have up to 3 months of mandatory overtime because our executives were incapable of foreseeing that our customers would start driving their cars again or the impact adding nearly 2 million new policies would... — read more

Everything is much better now that I don’t care.
It was really depressing while I was thinking about all the bad moves made by those at the top, about the reasons why they micromanage, why they devalue people and overwhelm them with work so much. Ever since I stopped caring and just do the bare... — read more
Holy #@*! New Exec!
BWAHHAAAA!!! Hilarious......SF just brought in a new Exec from AT&T to get the call centers reorg'd ....... the death spike for U/W, claims, and agent's. See.... because our Execs still thinks claims is just a "call center" job. We still hear Paul... — read more
I am more committed to looking for a new job than working here

Astonished by Claim Staffing and the lack of a plan to replace. What goes on?
Is anyone astonished with the lack of a plan on handling injury claims with reduced capacity. They have let the staffing deteriorate for the last year in a half. We are robbing Peter to pay Paul through all of claims making it worse for all claims... — read more
