Employees quit every day from any company. It’s nothing new, and if anyone is so unhappy at State Farm then what are you waiting for - just leave. There will always be others waiting in the wings to be your replacement. Instead, all people do is complain about how unhappy they are and blah blah blah but most never take the step to do anything about it. People complain just to complain.

@1lyj. The reason I'm here is I don't like how the company went from a very kind and caring company to its employees to a company that IMO is downright mean, condescending, and arrogant. I don't like the fact that they do not trust and monitor the employees to the point they are paranoid. The employees are the ones who keep the promise which involves trust. Trust is no longer existent when people are paranoid.
@1grz….If you’re so happy, WTF are you doing here?
Right 😂. That is why you are on the layoff site bi-----g and complaining everyday. Nice fantasy though…..
@glw. Failing? Failing at what? Happily married, house paid for, three vehicles in the garage, and I don't owe no one a cent. Heck! I don't have to log on a computer so someone can monitor me. I call that successful. Jealous? Angry? Resentful? KMA.
Oh OP you silly Korn Kali…..
What is wrong with you people telling people who have a voice on subjects of essence to quit. That’s not smart
Clearly OP is a long or short term star at farm or a 3rd party. Also in the groupie PR HR network.
Op has never really lived in the real world or he/she would not be posting things like this with zero insight on reality or facts.
People’s (Past and present employees) voice is important to Most companies & industries
So are their rights to fairness and to call out wrongs and observations.
Scapegoating and throwing blame and fake responsibility on employees is simply wrong. Making fun of folks Who actually care enough to take the effort to do posts is equally demeaning amd ridiculous for the cheerleaders to do. Telling folks to leave is equally ridiculous.
Been through enough job changes and seen way too much corruption at Farm and employees being exploited and at other places to know the difference. It’s clear leadership is fake, choreographed and makes fun of and is failing policyholders and employees and the industry.
No trolls and PR propaganda elves are gonna change that fact. Abuse is abuse. OP fits right in to that work.
Those are the righteous ones that get ahead at Farm
HR & “forecasting” and budgeting has failed terribly. Shady stuff. California. “SillyKone” -Valley and China all play
Nothing to be proud of.
I agree with OP. If you know things are just going to keep getting worse rather than better, then why don’t you start making plans to go somewhere else? It’s a valid question. And no, I am not defending SF (I despise the place).

@zzl Well said! It truly is interesting that there are a lot of people on this site have similar opinions about SF. There are many who are currently employed who feel the same way as the people who see the same problems but they are in fear to speak out and say something for the fear of retaliation as evidenced by the derogatory authoritarian comments. When SF becomes the company it once was and respects their employees instead of considering them an expense on a ledger sheet, then and only then will the comments change from "sour grapes and bad apples." SF knows exactly what they need to do to turn its negativity around. Rust knew what they were going to do. I don't believe he was in agreement with it and saw through the hypocrisy; therefore, he left. Harbert is shocking to say the least. As a lover of George Patton, Harbert sees what his troops have become. Patton wouldn't stand for it! Can you imagine what George Patton would have said if his troops were the way SF is running their show today? I wouldn't want to be in the room. The amount of money you make does not determine if you you win the war. It's the strategy and the boots on the ground win wars and not the pencil pushers with their laptops in the rear with the gear. Soldiers/warriors don't win wars fighting for something they don't believe in.
This forum can also be used for employees of other companies that are looking to leave their positions. Maybe on the other side they see the grass as being greener at SF. Then, once the see the comments they realize that it's not any better and decide to go a different direction. People that see this website as just a forum for complaining can be narrow-minded and not see that there are many purposes for this site.
@cwc-you need a hug and a participation trophy. No one cares about your id--tic opinions on marriage or leadership. Talk about being full of them selves! You are the poster boy/girl of self centered, self absorbed, pseudo intellectual, righteous indignation that leads to exactly no where. No wonder you are failing…..
Here's another way to look at it. A successful marriage is one that does have disagreements. They sit down and talk it out, compromise and stay focused on the love they have for each other. Unless it is felonious, it can be worked out. However, the leadership at SF are multiple divorcees who rule with the iron fist and say there's the door, don't let it hit you....They're authoritarian CHINA WAY is not acceptable in the land of the free nor was it acceptable in their marriages. I saw it many times over. Most who marry in the company are used to the golden spoon and authoritarian ways. Most of us who are regular folks don't understand entitlement because we were never given it. So the OP who says quit is obviously one of those who is the elite that got the "wink and nod" from the other elites.
With the way this country is going and corporate America is thinking, I believe this behavior of my way or the highway WILL comeback to bite them real hard. Little do they know there is more of us than them. It is their cancel culture disposable human race ki--s every fabric of what we stand for as a nation and what SF once was so proud to be part of.
The OP is a fine illustration of "all about me" and I care less about you. As a matter of fact, it is disgusting to see a person say leave a company that boasts inclusion. My hypocrisy only goes so far and this goes way beyond.
How a person can tell a person to leave without being felonious and have no remorse is beyond displaying a disgusting business attitude. It comes from either a person who "gets off" on being an authoritarian or a person who does not respect humanity.
More and more each day I have people coming to me and asking WTH is SF doing? My stock response is: I have no idea. All I know is every associate I talk to is not happy and it appears to be a sign of weak leadership. It's just a mater of time before they get it right.
My heart goes out to every agent and every line person in operations that is not removed from the customer. They must be strong folks that can put up with leadership this weak. I hope someday they get strong enough to tell them NO!
The can be viewed in more ways than just one. I see it as an opportunity to learn rather than just say "leave." If a person leaves a company, I see it at a lose lose proposition on both sides. Good leaders are not authoritarian but look for ways to make the weak point a strong point. If a leader leads on authoritarian narrative, he/she beware. The force may be met with equal or greater force. Leaders need to learn a win win strategy. I understand the job may not be for everyone but when you see employees complain about the same issues over and over again, a pattern does exist and it should ring a bell at the door of leadership. Like Pink Floyd sings: "Is there anybody in there......?"
If you are unhappy with your job it is your own fault today. There has never been a better opportunity to quit and find a new job. If you stay and complain you must really like it.
