I have been with the Farm 25+ years and am now age 52. If I get shoved out the door prior to age 55 I lose my subsidized health insurance. What are my options with my vested 401k?

Asking for a few thousand friends.

I am already stockpiling PTO, paying off debts from smallest balance to largest, updated my resume, and trying to save up a few weeks worth of cash. What have I missed?

CIVILITY IS KEY TO PROGRESS.

Tipsord is keeping the promise. Plan is in full effect....

When are next layoffs expected.

What time are the union meetings?

For the benefit of those who have not been thru a downsizing at SF. In past when layoffs were looming, SF would use managers near retirement age to be the bad cops if you will to implement whatever layoffs needed to be administered. After completion... — read more

Been in Auto Estimatics a long time. I have never seen it this slow. Tax time always gets slow but not like this. All over the country coast to coast. Well done leadership is executing their plan to a t.

Dear Mr. Rust, The State Farm you left behind is unrecognizable today. Morale is at its lowest we've ever seen. We're hemorrhaging employees and policyholders faster than we can suture the gaping wounds made by Michael Tipsord. Many of us have... — read more
