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

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

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

When do ET assignments and offers start? Some have gotten assignments already I hear. People are already talking as if they are moving here or there... does anyone actually know anything yet or is it just speculation and rumor? This is so messed up.

Here's what SF people aren't getting. This isn't all about SF, it's going on across the entire industry and economy. We are losing policies because people are broke, not because they're suddenly deciding to switch to the competition. People are... — read more

Apparently we won’t receive any clear understanding of the L & D cuts. Did they cut all positions outside BL and hubs? Anyone know the actual numbers? Now there are 50 job postings? What is going on with those jobs?

Do you, or do you know anyone who has NOT lost all respect for Tipsord and the Board? Both parties are very incompetent at this point!

We were told the SCP's would be all we would need to handle claims...what a joke. There are so many grey areas in claim handling that you have to have training and experience to figure out and understand the grey areas. The SCP's are as clear as... — read more
