Big reduction in headcount. Especially for the longtimers. Who has the cojones to drop in some details. And to the ahole who always comments SF never has a layoff- you’re an id--t.

@2gdp-you need to stay on Goldtimers site.
What does pc mod mean? Please explain more.
Half the states will be pc mod by the end of the year. They are outsourcing plcc overseas at 10% to start. Anyone can put two and two together. In five years a considerable portion of express claims will be AI initiated adjusting.
Hearing there is alot going on behind the scenes. TM's constantly in meetings. Hearing changes are coming but nothing being announced. Same old secrecy cr-p instead of transparency. It's a constant sh-t show. Everyone wondering how much more they will put on us or what else stupid cr-p will they do next. Whatever it is you can bet it will be more misery. As the old sayings go the more you do the more they put on you and your reward for doing a good job is getting to do someone else's job too. Maybe its constant meetings because the ones running the show have no clue.
Hilarious. In my area the old timers are the only one that can keep up. They know what they are doing and do it well. The newbies are the ones struggling. They do not have the training or experience and a lack of work ethic. They drop like flies. But who can blame them. Hire them, give them sh---y training, and a thousand claims, no time off, and beat them over the head to do more, and write them up when they can't. Getting rid of the old timers at this point will be the nail in the coffin for SF.
I wholeheartedly support longtimers being removed. Some of the most technically incompetent people that talk a lot and play politics. No I'm not helping you finish tasks for your promotion through collaboration. You can collaborate with HR to remove yourself.
They were told to cut the bottom 20% performers and that's where the sudden and arbitrary performance management target came from. That's exactly what they want, to make the environmental so bad that people offer to retire early just to get away. Upper management is atrocious and care nothing about people, at all.
Our innovation team is sinking. Everybody is fleeing or trying to. Such a dumpster fire. Clearly that is the intent or the placements would have been different.
AI and offshore is what management is hoping will save them. But again they are wrong.
To the people saying the plan is to get rid of tenured employees you have no clue. Look at how many retirements we have each month. They are willingly leaving and it’s going to put a huge strain on the new hires. We are five years from having major issues.
Please everyone disregard the previous stupid post. Obviously one of the newer unknowledgable ones.
Going to announce the retirement age for full benefits is moving from 62 to 70 to match social security.
God please be severance involved. I'm so done with this toxic place.
Tell us what you know. Whats coming? Will there be severence offers?
How will this company run without the seasoned employees. From what I see the newer ones don't know anything and can't do their jobs. One of the contributing factors as to the shape we are in. Like the previous poster that probably can't even do their job.
Older workers are like agent orange-senile and need to go.
Sadly the reduction won't be in upper mgmt. They will force out the older workers by making it so hard on them that they will leave.
I can confirm that there is a plan behind the scenes and not known to too many people, to look for ways to term longer tenured employees. It is the next step in looking for ways to significantly reduce costs to stay competitive. Targeting this group of folks will not only allow S/F to reduce overall salary costs but also clips their pensions to a reduced amount. And, this plan is targeting employees in states where S/F can just term without having a reason, which is why it's critical for all of us, not just Claims, to try and get union protection. Execs are "unofficially" creating a strategy that would ultimately set lower than average starting salaries. Then, when those individuals reach certain salary thresholds, they are identified and marked for term over a few months, by looking for bulls**t "violations". Execs are allowing for a certain percentage of long tenure folks in order to keep some organization to this chaos, but they are small percentages.
It's like everything else in the country. Too many elites living too high on the hog just like our government. It's long overdue to reward the work ethic and not the good ol' boy fit in types. SF is full of these especially in management. SF like government needs to get their systems up to date, reduce their workforce, make their service more focused on the customer, reduce their management expenses, and streamline their process. Sad as to how fat they have become and rewarding those who produce zero.
Uber is even bringing em back in the office. Get ready WFH!
Shared values? Good neighbor?
The amount of micromanaging is atrocious. I know multiple tenured claim specialists being written up. Funny that they did their job just fine every previous year. This is a first write up for all of them by the way - meaning they all never had any performance issues until the last few months. My theory is they are doing it to force people to want to quit because it's working, they all are looking for new jobs.
