What still keeps you here at State Farm?

My future pension. Period!

I certainly hope you work nights.
I would hate for you to be so obsessed about SF and this website to get up and post in the middle of the night
Lesson #1 - While you may enjoy the people you work with, remember your current coworkers won’t be with you for forever. Staffing changes happen all the time (people take new jobs, managers get switched up, etc). So don’t get to comfortable.
It’s a toss up between 1 year to retirement, a buy out, or that one bad day that forces it. I am burned out and tired of the lack of staffing, unreasonable workloads & expectations, technology that doesn’t work and management through fear. This appears to be the Titanic with water rushing in on the lower decks. Good luck everyone.
The first thing that came to mind was that I like what I’m doing. However, I could be doing the same thing somewhere else. I love the people I’ve met over the years but with my job becoming virtual (no choice, office closed, working from home), I don’t know what is keeping me because it’s not the same. If we were in the office and I was leaving for another job, I would miss the people… but I don’t see the people anymore so what is keeping me?
This job is just a means to an end and I feel less and less emotionally attached to State Farm every day.
@glv how is your work-life balance, i am averaging 55 hours per week and that sucks
- my pay is good
- my boss is cool and reasonable
- working from home, i really like this (i know, i know, it'll not be forever)
- benefits are ok-ish but good enough for me
- my team is (mostly) tight
- after 5 years here, i am still learning - i am good as long as i am learning
i am sure there is #7 and beyond but this is what comes to mind
