I read some of these posts and especially some of the replies and wonder what exactly has happened. When did people who have no empathy or sympathy for others become a viable SF employee. SF used to be an employer of choice. Now they (and by they, I... — read more 

I received a meeting invite for tomorrow but it’s with another manager not the one I report to. Trying not to read into it too much but figure it’s bad news and my real manager doesn’t want to deliver the bad news. Of course they are saying they are... — read more 

Suspect it'll be the same no-news babble we get every time they pull this many people together, but I'm glad people will finally know their fate this week. Assuming the 1x1 meetings will start Wednesday. Good luck to those affected! Can't wait for... — read more 

People still working at State Farm - What are you going through? Requirements? Work conditions? How are you doing? What time frames are you being told? How many people have left your area? Did they retire? Transfer? Quit? Or, just disappear? How old... — read more 

Looks like most of legal is headed deep in the heart of Texas. Executives will do the same by 2021. Next year expect more waves to be implemented. The plan is to have a skeleton staff here in Bloomington within the next 4 years mostly claims and the... — read more 

Anyone have info on the TMs in claims that just got demoted to specialists? Is this real or fake news?

Anyone here yet what the date is?

Some people from overstaffed roles found positions in understaffed/maintain roles. My question is...Does State Farm still want 890 people to walk out the door in Bloomington, or has that number been reduced?

Curious to know if there are layoffs/restructuring happening much outside of the systems function. Perhaps at Corporate, such as Finance, Investments, P&C, Marketing, etc.

Here we go.....

I made a decision to leave and I'm so glad I did. There is no future at State Farm. With everything that's been going on here lately, I can't understand why anybody would actually want to stay here unless they really, really didn't have a choice... — read more

Do you think we'll be able to see any major management changes here at State Farm in 2019 or this year? If yes, what do you expect to see?

30 years on the Farm, in a number of roles. My role is in just as much jeopardy as anyone else’s, and I don’t claim to like that. But all of this change isn’t about State Farm reducing expenses, or eliminating jobs, or carrying out a purge or... — read more

Does it exist anymore? I haven't received one in a couple of years. I have been thinking about the questions on there related to communication from upper management. I would answer those different now than I used to.....

I am starting to get some closure now. My usually-nice and complimentary managers seemed suddenly mean in the layoff meeting. No "you did a good job, sorry about this" or anything. Maybe HR gave them a script and told them to act harsh? If you got... — read more 

21 very productive years in the northeast zone. Then I moved to the Dallas OC . I was exposed to a pitiful display of mismanagement. Micro management is an understatement, the atmosphere is akin to a sweatshop mentality. These representatives are... — read more 

Please let me know if I am wrong on this. If you leave for whatever reason before age 55 you: Keep your 401k and can leave it with the Farm or move it. If you are vested in the retirement plan you keep your accrued pension benefits but can not claim... — read more
