I've been following this site for a while, just to keep up with what was once a great company! It's just a couple of months until 60 years from when I started. And 22 years since I retired! I know that a lot of these posts are trolls or just plain... — read more 

With both growth and profit. Sadly for some of you, the shopping experience means Agency, Marketing/Advertising, and tech platforms. All the things you claim are so bad, so unnecessary, and are driving away customers. Except they're adding millions... — read more 

How many things could you have done much better than you actually did? I think that this company can no longer motivate its employees, even those who love their job very much, to try and do their job the best they can. Now I just do my job to earn... — read more 

They don’t seem to see value at all in people who have great talent? Worst of all, SF doesn’t see a problem in talented people with a great skillset going to competing companies. I don’t believe this company has a bright future with such a business... — read more 

Let me clear some things up about the illusion of growth that we are having. Yes it is record growth, you would have to be stupid to not admit that. The only problem is....it is not real growth. You have to have the numbers and history to understand... — read more 

Micromanagent is a trust issue. In essence SF doesn't trust the people working for the company. It amazes me how much management tries to think of ways to monitor us as much as possible, forgetting that they are harming the culture and productivity... — read more 

Whats up with Rivian partnering with Nationwide. Looks like mgmt pi---d off someone again!!

… Fake Jake is now going to be looking through our windows. LOC employees are getting webcams, all the better for Verint to spy on us with.

The new customer doesn’t care what anyone says or how their service is. They want it now and fast and move on. Catering to the demand of the customer while abusing those who serve them.

Remember when the company required 24 hour personal contact with all parties involved in a loss? Inventories were 50 files and customer service was a top priority? Now Inventories are 6 times that amount. Even with technology, how can customer... — read more

Why bother doing anything other than whatever it takes to not get fired, considering that merit has long stopped being the metric used when it comes to promotions and raises? I've been doing my best (and by that I mean doing much more than I'm... — read more

Now that another Friday has finally rolled around, I can't wait to read about all the horrors that have been inflicted on all y'all this past week. Make it good people – the whole world's watching...... :–)

I've been watching what people are saying on this site. Don't ever trust your leader. They are politicians! The best thing anyone can do is recognize the fact your leader is a professional liar and manipulator to achieve their goals and do not have... — read more 

I have a manager who has zero clue on what I do and doesn’t have an ounce of ability to do my functions. However, said manager wastes no time in criticizing and micromanaging me to death. Getting tired of the eye–rolling I receive on a daily basis as... — read more

SF is the worst in every respect. The leadership in shockingly incompetent. Their MO is to bully and demean the next level down, rather than design an effective organization. Processes are completely inefficient and unnecessarily redundant... — read more 

Does anyone know how much longer underwriters will be around for before it’s all automated? Is it a dead end job? I’ve heard it’s hard to get out of that department.

I came here two months ago from another insurance company because I thought the situation in SF was at least a little better. What a mistake! I have never stayed at a job for such a short time and I was embarrassed when I gave notice. I don't know if... — read more 

So I’m one of the LOC employees that just found out will be classified as remote. My supervisor told me that SF has to approve a request for me to move to another state. Why in the world would that matter? Is there any reason they would have an issue... — read more 

Not sure how many, but maybe recognition they cut too far?

LOCs employees considered remote workers. Plan your finances... that arrangement is NOT permanent. They are taking their time ripping off the bandaids.

What are the chances we're looking at more cuts this month?

Middle management is complaining about people scheduling their time off in advance. It’s causing a problem because of the major cuts in claims. Be prepared for no time off availability. People are going to resort to calling out.

Are you happy with the hybrid model?

It was very stressful after the layoff, I went through a horrible period because I couldn’t find a new job right away and I didn’t have a lot of savings, but it all ended well. I’m in a new company now and I’ve never felt better. If I hadn’t gotten... — read more
