ET HR amd Managers role
When a charmed Manager who knows zero calls an analyst the slowest as compared to others (who and too stupid to be in a call or service environment and never get a called out it’s clear this “leadership” behavior is the norm. Arrogant technocrat... — read more
SF will be forced to automate?
Agency has always been crazy. That’s what the job is. But the weird thing is the more SF messes things up, the more they need the agents. Somebody has to answer the phone and try to make sense of this mess to the customer, and nobody else does it... — read more
Reasons
There is a reason they want over 40 employees out. They ask too many smart questions. Amd see through things.
Savings mean nothing in the long run
Short term gain and long term pain. All the savings comes from hollowing out intellectual capital with employees that actually know how to adjust claims. There will come a time when the public realized the wheel has fallen off the wagon, and the SCP... — read more
will my PTO get paid if I quit?
Have some accrued PTOs. Wonder if SF will pay them if I quit..
Integrations
Integrations and third party systems are not always all they seem. Data is king. Probably is a thing of the past http://skynetintegrations.com/
You make your own job security
I'm getting tired of hearing people lament about the loss of job security at State Farm. First of all, there was never anything resembling job security at State Farm. Whoever tells you differently has his or her rose-tinted glasses on. Second of all... — read more
State Farm reveals massive savings
Looks like SF is not going away any time soon... https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/breaking-news/state-farm-reveals-massive-savings-247994.aspx
Any idea when they are going to tell LOC employees what the heck is going on?
Kind of left us hanging with the announcement where they told us to work from home for now, with more news to come in 2021. Anyone think there is a chance for permanent WFH jobs in claims, or are they looking to jam everything into the hubs.
Rumor Mill - ET to cut 15%
Does anyone have any more info about the ET 15% cut?
Snap sheet
Is it the end of proximity estimatics?
HR Layoffs
Can someone explain how many people were cut in HR? Locations? Also, what the process was. Did you have interview for your job, etc?
Talk about a change
There was a time when State Farm was a place where you could expect to have a career and retire from. Since then, it has turned into an insecure job with no hope of progressing unless you know the right people. And the sad part is, I think the way... — read more
Should I leave SF for AWS, Allstate, Quicken Loan
Should I leave for one of these fully remote opportunities. Paying 36 to 90k more than I am making now. Fully remote WFH? State Farm paid for so many certifications for me. At State Farm for about 4 years.
Pay/Salary at SF
Does anyone have knowledge of State Farm’s competitiveness with salary compared to the other big insurance companies?

State Farm reputation?
It seems to me that State Farm is managing its reputation and the risks to its reputation really badly. Someone here has made a good observation that the company is working on advertisements while at the same time forgetting that people are its most... — read more

Internal Outsourcing Continues
I’m one of the 10,0000 ... found out half our POD has been wh–ed out to ILR and EXP on 30 day assignment “to provide support to areas that need it” while those of us remaining get additional CS SHs and numbers added to our series. Claims isn’t... — read more
should I be thinking about looking for other opportunities?
In my mid-30s and joined SF about 2 years ago as a statistician/analyst in one of the hubs. Feel much of the work is slow and morale is not that high, although no much complains either. Now there are opportunities out there either in the same... — read more
Other companies have it worse
It blows my mind to see all the negativity here. SF has it better than other insurance companies. If you’re not happy then by all means let me walk you to the door and make sure it doesn’t hit you on the way out. Stop complaining. There are millions... — read more
Isn’t it about time to start bringing people back into the buildings?
It’s kind of dumb for them to have all these empty buildings just sitting there barely used. And since over 34 million people in the US have been vaccinated so far and COVID cases have plummeted, isn’t it about time to start bringing employees back... — read more
Where’s Leadership?
SF.net can post multiple Jake stories a day but not a peep from Leadership. Email? Hah! Claims is only getting third-hand gossip and TMs running around w/ their hair on fire.
Karma for tippy and execs?
Maybe they shouldn’t have given people lower ratings than they deserved to save a few bucks on EIP. Maybe they shouldn’t have reduced staffing by such a large percentage. Maybe they should have given a f— about their employees because now guess... — read more

Bank ppl still here
Why aren’t the bank peeps gone yet?
Claims employee- do you feel unappreciated; do you feel they are pushing the older folks out?
We all know that this is not the company that it used to be. Ever since we went to the new model, numbers have been crunched for raises and compensation for on the spot awards etc. In the meantime’s numbers have been increased for metrics, and do... — read more
10,000 temp employees

Hostile work environment
Has State Farm always had work environment that was this hostile? I'm relatively new, started less than two years ago and I have to say, this is the worst place I've worked for by far. It's not even the low pay or lack of any meaningful bonuses. It's... — read more
Smallest pay raise ever due to financial constraints, but we blow $10 million on Super Bowl ads
Screw you Tipsord, you cheap b–tard! And your lap dogs as well. We can't even get a pay increase to keep up with inflation (even though the company's value increased over $2 billion dollars during a pandemic) but you can blow over $5 million per... — read more
Goodbye pensions for new hires and rehires
As predicted by some people on this forum, rehires and new hires in 2021 will not have a pension. Instead the company will up the 401k contribution. Whoopee! What’s next?

Any word or rumors on the fate of the 10,000 employees who don’t have an office to go back to? I’m sure the plan is still to replace them with new hires in the hubs. Hoping they might start offering severance the people who want to voluntarily... — read more
