Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

It's good murfreesboro oc is closing. Deputy sheriff told me one person from MOC had 4 driving under the influence convictions. Sad place imo.

What is really sad about all this is the company brainwashed the employees to keep promises, have ethical values and be focused on the customer. When the company does this, it takes the same emotional drain as a divorce. It is like a spouse that engages in infidelity. It's a business decision and it's all about me. The epitome of family and business failures.

Great! Downsize so SF can have stadiums where pipes burst and house football players who.......well you know and we can have more stupid Jake commercials. Corporate hypocrisy is well fed.

I want a severance and payout

Typical State Farm- scare the people before the holidays and after a heated so that they may be out of a job in a few months to see which ones flee versus those who stay. SF has already told Ad services that their jobs were going away, and they are getting at least a year’s salary as a severance package.

I just LMAO at how the rats are running out of the nest not knowing what to do. State Farm is just in cleaning the house and getting rid of the rats in the attic and crawl space.

Hey everyone! Look at 2bvo. That's what sits behind a computer at a multi billion dollar organization. They hire sh*t like that.

@2bvo hold on for a second, I am checking with your wife to see if she knows what rock we are under. Her mouth is full right now.

@2XOC if you think the good ol boys are just in Bloomington, what rock have you been hiding under and for how long? GEEZ!

@2zxp couple of problems with your post. 1) the good ole boys network is not in TN, it is and has always been in Bloomington and slowly infecting the hubs. 2) Ask any agent in your market about our rates and they will tell you for the first time in a long time they are competitive and routinely better than our competition.

Hello Murfreesboro! I think it's funny and the best move for State Farm! It breaks up the clicks and good ol boy syndrome. Should have been done ages ago. Get the overpaid out for rate reduction and to be competitive.

Tennessee values. I have been to Gatkinburg. Definitely a different culture

Start looking for a job and/or pack your bags! Turn out the lights, the party is over.

The Murfreesboro office is very nice and definitely not an eye sore. That info is dead wrong. 🤥

I talked to the lady whose family owned the farm where the MOC now sits. She told me the building is an eye sore to Murfreesboro. She and many other residents are happy its closing. She said most of the employees do not have our TN values. Dallas would be a much better fit.

But we don’t actually.... for now we are to remain WFH. Until they figure out how and to which hubs to send our work to, then we are out. Their press releases conveniently do not mention that.

Buy a Super Duty Diesel! You'll need it for your move to Dallas! LOL

You have to look at State Farm's and MT pattern. Ahhh the ruling class.........

They made a big change to future benefits-no pension for new hires starting in 2021..then...yesterday announcements about office closing/WFH. With no real answers as usual.
That means a lot of new hires are coming, I agree it will probably take 1-2 years but if you don't move from a LOC then you won't have a job. Especially any leader/TM. Some exceptions for speciality CS roles. If you read between the lines SF/MT has already told us the days of long drawn out office closures are pretty much over. He stated on several exec briefings they had learned a good lesson. The last time they did this is with the SM and CM reorg when they gave them 90 days! Again why do you think you are getting all these surveys about benefits! Wake up!!!!

They always telegraph their passes: Examples...When future state migration started they had tons of MG3s take MG2 jobs with the promise of future promotions for being part of a new start-up. 6 months after migration etc...they changed the HR policy to say if you are an MG3 and took an MG2 job you were no longer eligible to receive a promotional increase amount if you got promoted back to MG3. Sneaky!

When they said the Dallas pay scale/cost of living was not different and moved it down to the lower geographical scale.... then 6 months later they announced all the office closures, knowing they didn't want to have to pay all the people more that moved and migrated to Dallas.

The Fire company transition-you have to live in the zip code they tell you. Also people with proximity jobs in Texas were offered jobs in Chicago and people in New York were offered jobs in Oklahoma. Husbands were offered a job in one state and spouse offered another job in another state. (you can't get any sh-ttier than that) You/we all had friends and people you know this happened to....

Business is business but I don't think you have seen anything yet....
I will say it again. They will buyout the pension for current employees in the next couple of years. Stop asking this question. They have telegraphed this pass already. Decreasing expense yes, but still an expense/current vs future...blah blah...on the technicals. They want a work force that stays pretty much 3-5 years and moves on. Keeps salaries at base levels and controls expenses. They do not value talent...their track record proves that! Numbers and process game! Again why do you think you are getting all these surveys about benefits! Wake up!!!!

Oh..usually don't go low..but for the id–t ILR/employees that make comments about growth. In the last 20 years State Farm has only grown a million auto policies twice! Geico and Progressive have only had a couple of years they did not grow at least million (or two) auto policies. I back my comments with facts..you don't!

16 17 18 19 2020-to date
SF 359,000 -890,000 -386,000 445,000 1,141,000. = Avg growth of 133,800 auto policies! Its
worse the further you go back!
P 1,326,000 2,173,000 2,717,000 2,496,000 2,393,000 = 2,221,000 avg growth! 16X....
G 1,723,000 2,186,000 1,154,000 1,925,000 2,210,000... you do the math!

2x22 and 3x24! Homeowners...ok...but as Auto goes... the company goes!
Agency contract and model changes are coming! Fireworks! Big policy losses!
Underwriting will be automated! It's coming! No claims jobs to take!
HR and L&D getting it again! Isn't this twice in the last 2 years! Ouch!!!
If you can't tell MT places no value on claims and are constantly trying to eliminate claims jobs.
Went to the PC crowd/route and waded into politics! You can't back out of that. id–ts!
Bought a high risk, liability only insurance company! Wow... boy that is making competitors weak in the knee! I'm sure W. Buffett called an emergency meeting on that one! id–ts!
WFH—they will try to end ASAP... they have $6.2 billion worth (shell reality co. owns) of hubs in 25 year
leases to try to find a tenant for. (possible) but MT will never admit to this F-ck up!

Go comb your beard, those skinny jeans invalidate the beard!
After you get the new tattoo and piercing finished...Go work on your ADA request, find another way to avoid taking a call, stay off the wrap report and finish working on your Master's Degree with Univ. of Phoenix-accelerated program so you can get that CS job!

Morale of this long story..SF has a plan and they will execute it come h-ll or high water! They do not know what they are doing (mo–ns) and history is against them! Grab the the prettiest girl/guy/(other/non-binary) and go to the bow of the ship with a bottle of wine and enjoy the ride down!

BOC got same messaging and we were told work from home is not permanent. Jobs will definitely be relocated to one of the hubs. As earlier poster said, more to come by 2nd quarter (or sooner) of 2021.

You keep job for now but they will release their plan by end of 2nd qtr no LOC is getting their job guaranteed past next year

Work from home for now. Nothing said the working from home jobs were permanent.
