I never believed that I would be in that situation, but yes, to be honest, during my working hours I am now much, much more dedicated to looking for a new job than just doing my job here.
My conscience is bothering me a bit because I’ve always given my best, but I don’t think I should work to exhaustion until the last day???
It may not be the most professional, but this company deserves nothing more from me. I hope to give notice very soon.

2rqp+1cSvYk5q Considering it sounds like he’s old enough to even have that WAG come up in the stock market, and in 2021 only about 30% of people actively invest id really shut your projecting self up real quick.
If your primary income is work out of all 16 ways to get income I feel sorry for you. Enjoy retiring at 55 or whatever the bare minimal is for actively working.
Honestly it’s pathetic you even think that way. Most boomers got literally d-mb lucky over the years.
The reality is they they want loyalty but don't understand it goes both ways. I stopped caring along time ago and it's crazy as I'm doing better now than I did when I did care. Maybe that's the key. I spend more time developing myself now gearing up for my next move out of here. I can't wait until the day I say 2 weeks.
I hit a milestone this week. Now it's ba--s to the wall for new work. The micromanaging and not having numbers look like they want is just a daily thing and I'm over it.
Must be a pretty small house, 13 years vested at a claim rep salary can’t be much more than five or 600 bucks a month pension check.
I was forced to retire after 13+ years due to “performance issues” … after 13 years …..it was the best damn thing that ever happened in my tenure at The Farm!! I took 3 months off to recover my sanity and went into a totally different industry.
My State Farm “leader” is and was a weasel and a yes man …. didn’t really have a clue how to lead people anywhere. His next level middle manager was an even bigger weasel and yes man. My work product suffered under both of them due to the incessant and constant haranguing about doing more and doing it faster.
My current boss truly is a Leader, who thanks each of us at the end of the day for our individual and team effort in making the day a success, and furthering our business goals. My new organization strives to hire, train, compensate, and retain the best people they can …. I love going to work each day and seeing my co-workers and customers.
I have stopped having anxiety attacks at 8:00 PM every Sunday night ….. I get up with a sense of purpose, as well as a commitment to providing top notch service, and look forward to going to work each day. What I love the most is that I am actually treated like a responsible, intelligent adult, a concept that does not fit the State Farm micromanagement mold.
State Farm now pays my mortgage each month and will do so until my house is paid off or I pass away, so who actually got the win ??
Mandatory OT for the next six weeks …. what a joke. There aren’t enough employees who actually know how to work a claim, or hours in the week to rescue the claims department from the mess they are in. There has been such high attrition and so many untrained “rent-an-employees” over the last several years who had no clue and just were updating calendars and pushing the same work out for another day, week, month, etc. to correct this situation. Working employees to exhaustion isn’t going to cure this issue …. attrition will just climb higher and customers will continue to be at the receiving end of poor and inept claim handling.
My next step is to move my home and auto policies to one of State Farm’s competitors.
May not get better rates, but at least I have no idea how inept their claim handling is, if I should sustain a loss …..
I honestly no longer care. I‘ve started puking more often, and having anxiety. I was in the military and experienced none of that.
I’m working like a children’s factory fixing children’s mistakes around me. We are adults but nobody takes accountability for their mistakes. They try to blame others mistakes on you. I have plenty of that in writing.
It’s getting worse as middle management is trying to prove their value again through metrics. It’s safe to say I’m done here. I’m the last person on my team. The people I saw as resources left 6 months ago.
I was getting poached by another company, and they listed almost everything in this note of why I should join them.
So not only are people waking up, this year alone I’ve been attempted to be poached 3-5 times by what seemed like former employees or extreme levels of insight.
Looks like Victor will replace Yi as the new whipping boy for simps. Blame him not the troll, small hands or any other 5 levels of management above him.
You can never be too tired to work on an escape plan. Took me about 8 months to land a new job which is like heaven compare to SF. Couple of my peers went to other insurance carriers and made 35% more than SF but no pension, they seem to be happier. None of us regret leaving and we all had 10-20 years of experience with SF individually.
The sooner e everyone realized the job has no loyalty to you or it is no longer a career the sooner you will wean from the Kool Aid. . The company uses you at their will.
Victors mental health Pow Wow meeting with all will fix us all!!!!
What can we do to help?
Great news-Walmart announced they are planning on hiring 125,000! You will need to be vaccinated though….
I would look around too probably if my energy wasn’t completely sapped everyday working here. I feel dead inside because I feel like I’m literally working until I’m half dead trying do every last thing they expect me to do in the way they want me to do it. It’s not even worth it cause I only get told it’s just not enough, always “do more”. They don’t care that actual humans are doing this work. I also feel like I’m being studied or something and need to perform at peak performance all the time for whoever is watching and listening! I ain’t Simone Biles! But even Simone can’t be perfect a perfect 10 all the time, now could she?
