Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Collapse!!!!

All the growth is pure smoke and mirrors and will not last. I will try to avoid writing a financial novel but SF will collapse because of it's cost structure, greed, horrible leadership, bad business model, and lack of reinvestment in its workforce. The Fed will never stop pumping money/debt (Japan has tried) into the economy and the US will eventually have negative interests rates on all bonds...basically we have negative interests rates now but I won't bore you with that explanation. Interest rates are not going up folks, they never can! Not to mention all the upcoming Socialist/social spending/taxing! A market collapse is coming plus inflation will ki-l SF, parts for cars, labor, and building materials have and will stay through the roof. SF is going to take massive rates increases next year and the loss/expense ratios will go back up! Lapse/Can too! I laughed so hard when Mary S. gave something away on the Exec call last week. Her statement about who would think...this time last year we were in a "recession" and people were needing jobs and now we have a hiring shortage. They bet ALLLL on red and it hit black. They bet the recession would continue and people would be begging for jobs. They took the opportunity, during a pandemic, to close all the LOCs/not hire. SF thought they were going to be able to lower the BO-M on their employees AGAIN and wouldn't have other options for employment! LOL! SF it always catches up to you. Now the Claim's Ninja is trying to save face with the same lies! To sum it up...horrible leadership/business model, high loss/expense ratios, no stock market returns, no bond yields/returns, rising costs/inflation, and a useless, pi---d off work force! Good luck SF you are going to need it! If we have another record CAT year that's going to bust the seams too! I know the trolls are going to chime in as usual (why I included the links below) so they can take a break from their Devry On-line Degree and actually learn something!

The bigger picture is AI is coming no opinions, no sick days, no delays and more important a one time investment with software updates. And no benefits.

It’s clear. This was actually an intelligent post. All those get ridiculed by children who clearly have no sense of big picture wisdom or real life or the economy (past, present and future).

Charmed ones troll in..

interesting perspective. Thankyou!!!

Just what the world needs an amateur economist that got his education from reading some magazine articles and postulates his own inaccurate theories that no one cares about.

Non agency folks totally overlook the fact that before agents take any money home from that 10%……they use about half of it to employ as many people as State Farm does with the other 90%. If State Farm operated anywhere near as efficiently as agents, every employee and customer would be much better off.

Put this kind of time and effort into your job I stead of public whining,and you’ll probably get that raise you claim is impossible.

They dont have enough worker bees now to do any job….and all the time reports of record growth….the last 1 1/2 years they havent paid out alot…aka BI lawsuit claims because the court system shut down due to Covid……all the while collecting premiums in the auto company…..as a mutual company they dont have to report to anyone….what the policyholder meeting in June . Really ? ..the mutual company hasnt gave a dividend check aka refund in over 15 years…all the while the MIP bonus’s where handed out….employees need to learn to use this company..as they use their employees……

Won't these same realities be experienced by our competitors or are they exempt from the real world?

Why didn’t you just say “the world is coming to an end and we are all doomed”? Much shorter and just as accurate.
