Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Drain the SF swamp! They have been stealing from both their customers and employees for the past 25 years.

@9cqr. Sort of. The Bank was lax about communicating and enforcing many legal requirements. After SF got slapped and Wells Fargo made headlines, we suddenly got bombarded with requirements to complete a lot of online compliance training. Unfortunately, it was heavy on mandatory phrases but light on real content. Now, we have a State Farmized the procedures to the point that the simplest of transactions are cumbersome and difficult.

I believe it is your agency and being “independent “ makes you, not the company responsible for training. Nice try on the blame shifting.

Major things happening. Agents getting sh– down everywhere. State Farm Bank failed to train Agents and now Agents and staff are suffering. Territory leaders would come in and advise against corporate annual training. Always show better ways to close an opportunity.
Now, the same leaders are delivering the messages that The Agents are being terminated.
No agent is reading the consumer report to every prospect or household member listed on a quote.

They never explained you had to until 2020.
Agents are being fired and used as scape goats.

Agents need to Align. Terminated Agents need to band together. Any Agent that was fired while other Agents issues were swept under a rug should come forward.
Any Agent misled by an Agent or Area Leader should come forward.
The real issue lies within bank and training.

I left a few months back. Went to a competitor for 30k a year more. Its not the only game in town. Those who have talent can leave. Those who don't stay. Beeasy.

Yep, s—ed dry and cast aside.

Kinda funny when u see promotions and whose doing the grunt stuff after

Their objective is to promise you the moon, make you believe in their empty promises, and pull the carpet out from under you before you just before the finish line. Once you recognize this is their game, it is so easy to plan for your future. Be concerned over these comments because they are real and experienced.

If they do it to their own, can you imagine what they do to their customers? Sounds like they don't understand "the real world."

When you put an accountant in charge of a relationship based company this is what you get.

I hate to break it to you but it’s not just tech managers, it’s across the board. The only way you’re going to get a decent/fair rating is if your manager is either a drinking buddy or a f**k buddy. Bonus if they’re both.

Micromanagement by way of agile is the new normal.

When a company treats their employees like children, it sends them the message that they aren’t trusted or respected. And in return, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the employees will no longer have any trust or respect for the company.

Aggressive micromanaging of the over 45-50 folks. Telling them pretty much they won’t get a good rating cause it will be “harder” with no specifics. . Plus little meaningful raises or promotional opps. Profiling and using non existent and non communicated metrics I guess.

Too many managers acting like coaches and “ “accounting”, data and budget gurus making way too much for what they do is NOT cost savings.

Not sure what to think really.
