STAY VOCAL!
I’ve never seen so many people voice their opinions as I’ve seen in the “Ask the CEO” post. If leadership doesn’t make changes based off this feedback then they are beyond loss and this company will fail. Keep giving feedback and making your voice... — read more

State Farm Mocks Lemonade's Use Of AI, Doubles Down On 48,000 Human Agents--Not A Great Idea
State Farm's mockery of insurtech, AI and bots is backfiring big time! To me, as a former employee, this just exposes State Farm for who they really are: an old and crusty company, set in their ways, and resistant to new technology. They sound like... — read more
