I'm just wondering, how many more weekends of not knowing what's going to happen are we going to have to suffer through? How many more sleepless nights and stressful Saturdays and Sundays - days we are supposed to be for resting and recuperation -... — read more 

You know I do feel like the company owes us. The company is great because the employees made it great. When I started 30 years ago, it was told to me the benefits and pension offered and I stayed for those things and now it's going to be taken away... — read more

Anyone know who is making the decisions for Proximity?

Does anyone know the logic behind the number of openings that are posted ‘External Only’?

Because, the layoffs are only PART of what's happening folks. We are in a recession, but your TV anchorman isn't going to tell you that until it's so obvious that your 3 year old knows.

Once upon a time, State Farm was a company I was proud to work for. I can tell you I was drinking the kool aid, and the kool aid was good. I worked customer service, sales, training, and claims over a period of roughly 15 years. I started when State... — read more

I am serious, please don't talk about how SF is slashing and burning through employees, or screwing over the customer with high rates or poor customer service. In the past we had a reputation for providing a personal touch, and we were the industry... — read more 

Just asking. I’ve noticed several employees on this forum taking their anger out on the people they work with. You’re all in this together. I’m just curious as to why a lot of you stay instead of looking for another job?

Well, the axes were dropped today and tons of extremely talented and knowledgeable employees were released. In 15 minute notification calls. No rhyme or reason. Just axed. Term date is Aug 31. Good luck to everyone who was not offered to keep their... — read more 

Did anyone hear how many and where they are going to keep L&D? There was to be an announcment at 3 p.m.

Don't treat your employer better than they treat you. Apply this to everything in your job to overtime to quiting your job. And don't forget about the joy, time and stress the company has stolen from you.

Everyone has an opinion, and many are very passionate about that opinion, but all that matters is what the top level management think. You may think you know what's going on and why, but you don't. You are not privy to that info, and you do not know... — read more

I've heard from some very reliable sources that Tipsord is going to Geico as a VP with the plans to become CEO.

Any insight to the email released this afternoon? It was typical State Farm “we cant tell you anything right now”’. It did mention a new bank ‘executive team’ will be announced starting this week. Are they cleaning house? Shuffling the usual players... — read more 

We keep hearing “if this is approved”. Well.... if it’s not then what happens? Why would they give us a QTD of July 31 and opt-in forms due by 22nd if this has not been approved?? Someone help me get this! Please.

Where are the EIP results for January 2018? They should be posted by now. I just saw a video and this guy said he wants to be open and forthcoming. I would like to know how our poilcy growth has been in 18.

So the rumor of Tipsord's demise may be a rumor. It may be something that came right out of the Trump fake news playbook, but the real issue that State Farm needs to address is that thousands of people heard about it. It spread like an Arizona brush... — read more 

From what I gathered, there will be no big announcements this week. Which means we get one week to either relax and prepare for what's to come or another week of stressing and anxiety - depending on where you are mentally right now. I wish I could... — read more
