Rumor is that State Farm monitors this page. I hope so. They don't give employees a voice anywhere else.

The reason there aren’t more comments on this thread is because you posted a link to a long article without proving any context. D-mba$$.
For those of you wondering, the OP was trying to point out that the job of a CEO is to guard the soul of a company. What the OP fails to realize is that the current SF CEO doesn’t even know what a soul is since he doesn’t have one of his own. So no, he won’t be guarding anything. D-mba$$.
It really breaks my heart that not many have commented on this post. It is something that should be openly discussed from the boardroom, agents office, all field meetings, and Huddleston for a minimum of 2 hours with open minds and hearts with no canceling nor fear of retaliation.
This company would be more likely to do exactly what their employees are saying they dont want, rather than listen and act on things they do want.
Remember the survey on working from home? See they knew no one wanted to go into the office. So the survey had "office only" and "hybrid" as the option with an other field to write "work from home" to skew the results so they could LOOK like they are doing what we want "oh wow everyone loves hybrid!" because if they had put WFH as a 3rd option it would have been clear. Then when it did become clear it wasnt what the workers wanted, then it turned into our culture. Our culture which left the building in 2015 was now in office? Please...
Watch the company actions, ignore its PR spin on things. They only listen to us for the optics that they care, while with their other hand, deskilling roles, forced reassignments, permanent staffing issues which are really planned to save costs, and one of the more anti-employee work environments I've ever witnessed.
Well having a voice is irrelevant if the executives making decisions dont hear you, and dont care. 3 years of your workers saying they want work from home and you still drag them into the office pretending it will build some form of culture (the culture you chose to destroy in 2015 and have lost with turnover).
I dont care about a voice until the executives try to stop turnover and start treating their front line workers like they treat their tech workers (like valued adults they want to retain)
At least disney has a product that separates it from competitors....
Shocking.
This is exactly the problem at SF. The company because of its internal functions with the employee has driven way outside of its headlights. Their brand, their mission, vision, and almost all aspects of their business has steered away from its core values which in terms of this article is no longer guarded by the CEO. Selfishness, greed, all about me, and shady dealings disintegrate not only business but morale. It is evident SF has been going down a destructive path for the past 20+ years sadly. Thank you for sharing OP. Proud of you to have the courage to be spot on with the problem SF currently faces.
