In short - It was a conscious (and very expensive) decision by leadership to hold the convention as scheduled so as not to raise suspicion of agents being a thing of the past in the very near future (by January 2020). You can choose NOT to believe me... — read more 

Question for those of you in the Hubs: Seeing the cuts that are unfolding in the non-Hub areas, what are your thoughts? Do you feel secure in your job because Leadership says the future is in the Hubs?

You're a cog in a 90 yr old money making machine. As long as the end product was green, sure we'll treat you alright with pay, bonuses, timeoff etc...well even give you the illusion of trust and respect...how you like your guided cage??? Comfy. But... — read more 

Bank and L&D have QTDs on 8/31. If the numbers I am hearing are correct, that is potentially 515 people walking out the door for the last time that day. I say potentially b/c some may have opted in or found another job in a different department... — read more

Downing a 40 ouncer for some old friends and collegues. Monday is the QTD for many managers and section managers (and probably others too, but hard to know now days). Wish you all the best. You will be free of this place.

Serious question. The Company is slashing and burning through Departments and in some cases, not even pretending that there is a rhyme or reason behind the decisions they are making. The mantra has been "The future is in the Hubs". For those of you... — read more 

I thought millenial wanted work to be like play time where everyone wins. Why would anyone then design a job that is 180 degrees the opposite and expect them to come work there?

State Farm needs to innovate and change. However, State Farm needs to retain experienced employees who do a great job right now. The agent business model needs to change ASAP ! Customers should be able to add a auto or homeowners policy in a few... — read more 

State Farm came up with segmented adjuster plan 2 years ago. Now they realize that the model doesn't work. It doesn't work as evidenced by the overtime hours I incurr just driving to losses that have claim reps living within 15 minutes. So I have... — read more 

State Farm has MANY job postings in all departments. WHY are they not offering these jobs to the people who they are letting go????

See the money talks article on Sf net? Awesome. Hey everyone, we lose billions annually. Come see how we can help you lose too!

why the 50 CSP jobs listed within MyBlock today? Any thoughts on what's going on?

I'm finally free of the insane office politics at State Farm. I decided to resign before the company handed me a QTD date which was only a matter of time. Good luck to everyone. There is life after State Farm and it's glorious!

I think it is reprehensible that the Farm simply is not updating EIP. Even if it is negative tell the full truth

I wonder if TM's get bonuses if they ride someone hard enough they get them to resign/quit ? Remember that survey, we got once a month, that we suppose to complete on our how TM was doing in Express and if we were honest we got a talking to? They... — read more 

What are the QTDs for each dept?

Trying to find out if there is any reason to "opt in" verses taking voluntary. Has anyone opted in, and subsequently been asked to stay at their job? OR....once you get notified, is it pretty certain you are gone? Our whole department (Bank) got the... — read more 

I have a quick question for Proximity Fire Claims - Did your TM or SM get a job offer for the position they are currently in? Neither my TM or SM got job offers for their current positions. It was interesting because they both are experienced, and... — read more 

Anyone else notice postings are disappearing. Looks like SF got to these guys too...probably threatened to sue them..way to be tough layoffs.com or should I say statefarmsbitch.com.

Write your congressman to take the power of lobbying away from super PAC. All your VPs are members of super PAC. They literally sleep together. HIT EM HARD IN THE POCKET. TAKE THE TOYS FROM THE BOYS.

The age discrimination is real. Whether State Farm has managed to skirt the law successfully is a matter for the courts to decide, and I suggest those impacted take it there. I know several younger people who took voluntary severance. In every case... — read more

We were told to “shut up and be glad we have so much notice” Reductions needed - fine and understandable. We’ve known it was coming since 2013. But, SF is embracing the wrong way to do it. Targeting the old and weak first is predatory and... — read more

It was a terrible experience to get dumped after 23 years knowing several less tenured and by far less productive employees stayed. I handled three times more work than my co workers. The TMs were political animals and were terrible leaders. I’m not... — read more 

Hi heard the SL position is under review. Was wondering if anyone else had heard.

It’s amazing to me that this company is still number one in Auto. With all the Slave Farm employees pulling their own policies plus all the external customer policies we are losing we will be 2 or 3 in no time. Everyone who has been dedicated to... — read more

As Bank Directors have been announced, old org charts are being marked up like brackets with winners and losers. Next two weeks begin manager decisions. Let the Hunger Games begin....

HAVE YOU EVER MET AN AGENT THAT WAS MORE THAN MEDIOCRE? MOST PEOPLE COMING OF AGE KNOW IT'S AN ANTIQUATED SYSTEM

Does anyone know when they’re going to build the dome for those left in the employee pool? Will it be all employees vying for the same departments all at once or some kind of tournament? Weapons? The communications have been terrible!

Anyone see all the jobs State Farm is posting on Monster?

EEOC - go on line and file for interview NOW, let the government know your concerns, even if you’re still working, to report discrimination and violation concerns. This is one of the few ways we have to get outside review. The first step is to file... — read more
