If you can get out sain....
After working for State Farm over 30 years in operations and retired, I did not know how much damage it caused. My suggestion to anyone who is caught up in the kool aid, STOP! Think about the anxiety, stress, and abuse you take in at both work and... — read more

So how long do you think it’ll be before they discontinue employee use of Yammer due to time wasted?

Lemonade is crushing it. https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2020/08/21/579843.htm How are all those "innovation" initiatives coming along at The Farm? So glad I left.
Alight Solutions
Do you have thoughts on State Farm trusting Alight Solutions to manage and protect your 401K? Alight doesn't seem to support multi factor like some of the other companies and don't seem to have a very good track record.
WFH

AI
Artificial Intelligence and some system and process integrations are not good engineering. But trendy.
They’ve k--led the Good Neighbear
Not a complaint, but man have we changed. Agents are no longer to use those expensive costumes at community events. Well, only if they’ve bought shirts and hats with the new logo, and only till the end of the year. And this is 2020, so community... — read more

Those in operations. You have a job that you constantly have to make decisions; then, you have someone always looking over your shoulder questioning your decision and forcing you to justify it. It's like looking at films of a football game by a... — read more
Recent Pizza Delivery Ad
I find it interesting that SF has now begun an ad campaign glorifying a clear cod of conduct violation with the new "Jared" accepting a large pizza delivery at home for saving the delivery girl on her insurance. Anyone else find that odd?
Firing spree
If you are over 40 and especially if you have over 20 years of service watch your back. Auto injury has been on a firing spree. Mgmt has so many hoops for cs's to jump through now it is impossible to keep up. It is terrible. They don't want you... — read more
Impending doom.
TM has said proximity is over staffed and they want to reduce the numbers by end of the year. Didn’t say how that would be done. By attrition or what? There seems to be a doom and gloom feeling around the company. Anyone else has any info?

You're the best coworkers I'll never know
And I like it that way.

Example of business practice that ensures a slow demise of SF
Had a house and auto policy for a couple of years with SF. Then suddenly the rates started to increase. There was no change in customer information that would have justified this increase. Agent could not answer why other than the standard SF... — read more
I hope work from home is here to stay

Is the State Farm Bank sale still on schedule?
Just wondered with all of the pandemic-related changes, such as WFH, if the State Farm Bank sale to US Bank was still on track and if determinations had been made on how all of the Bank employees would taken care of?
