This place now is just a shadow of the company it used to be. It is not strange that those with the greatest talent left, but it is strange that some (although very few) are still here. - I am not sure if the leadership is aware of the consequences of the lack of talent and whether they are even trying to correct that mistake, or if their vision for the future of this company does not include those with great skills and talents at all?

@8jvm+1k9R71be Talent at SF is like coming down to your last few picks in grade school kickball.
Anyone with talent ain’t biting their lip collecting 40k a year. State Farm sponsors them with money that could be in your pocket. Merry Christmas x-x @8jvm+1k9R71be
We've never lacked talent. We've been unable to keep talent. We've been unable to allow talent to shine. We do not reward talent. But there is TONS of talent here at SF.
Most of us learned early on to fly under the radar, and make occasional mistakes so we dont look too good, less we get a forced reassignment, or additional work. The ones who dont do this are the ones who leave. They should probably change this somehow.
You didn’t upset me lol. If anything you’re the upset one. Making fun of people worth more than you’ll every be in 10 lifetimes.
I dunno I saw a hottie in the hall the other day. I'd say she had talent. Gotta tap that quick cuz she'll quit once realizes this job blows. Hey blows thats funny!
SF has lacked talent for the past 10 to 15 years. It's just got worse over time.
looks like i upset our resident troll.
Loser go get a real skill that isn’t clocking programs or pushing paper, you office monkey.
The difference between you and the people who don’t want to work for Elon is, they made more by the time they were 25-30, than you’ll make before you retire. No need for them to work 50-60 hour weeks.
@2wha. Hobby? Yup! To collect the money you work for. Keep up the good work.
Yup! SF lacks talent. Proven on this site.
" I won't work. Elon is proving that"
We know you wont work. Instead you will go on social media sites and rant nonsense. Please stop. Us adults really do not wish to clean up after your verbal diarrhrea.
No I just want a place to come vent, discuss issues, and have adult conversations without having every.single.thread...loaded with your id--tic posts about china and politics and insults slung at employees frustrated.
your nothing more than an agent provocateur that ruins the discussion...EVERY DISCUSSION.
This isnt reddit/4chan/twitter. Go there and spout your BS. Leave this place for actual employees to have a decent discussion already. Find a new hobby gramps.
Children ranting about cancel culture while they are seeking to cancel basic human rights are so amusing. Also children, private companies can do what they wish with their assets. They do not have to publish lies, hate, or insurrection.
@1ury. Confirms his/her opinion on banning and cancel culture and doing away with freedom of speech. I won't work. Elon is proving that.
@1ezl is not even an employee. Old retired dude that loves to sp-t out political nonsense and references to the military as well. Agree with IP ban he turns every thread to trash.
Dude all of your posts on this form read exactly the same. You are not doing anyone a service here posting what you do, and its very obvious which posts here are yours (heavy use of words like misfits/miscreants, hard insults on people posting here, something about politics and china for no reason....every post the same.
I am not sure if you are a real person with a vendetta here or you just work for HR trying to make this site unbearable for actual employees venting.
Either way, This website needs to put an IP ban on you.
Misfits and miserable? Really! Another fine example of how angry, hostile, name calling, cancel culture, woke so on State Farm has become. More reason their diversity and inclusion is a hoax. Everyone was put on this earth by Almighty God regardless of their opinion. What do you want to do next? Shut down family? Take away faith? Take away freedom of speech? If so, go to China! You're doing a good job of it.
LOL-only on this site could you find someone d-mb enough to think SF is failing. Not our customers, not our competitors, not the regulators and not the majority of our employees. Only here the land of misfits and miserables…..
SF is exactly the same as our education system. FAILING.
So maybe reduce the pay by 40% and hire people in Monroe and Marshall is the answer.
Because putting the crux of all operations in hub cities backfired. They have to pay market wages compared to all the other tech companies, fortune 100 companies etc in those same hub cities, compared to being an above average employer in the previous regional operation centers. It’s public knowledge that they haven’t been able to staff adequately from the get go , even prior to pandemic.

Why? Because you have people that can read it out a a book, tell you what to do BUT can't do it because they believe they are too good to do the work. It's like a person in a shop who has never turned a wrench who says: Why don't you? 😏
The entire insurance industry is staring down "lack of talent" as Boomers and the oldest GenX retire.
I don't think most companies realize that it's a problem of their own making, as development and training has gone towards the bare minimum in the shortest amount of time and "learn as you go". With that sort of mindset, you aren't thinking about your needs 10 years from now, just wherever the most immediate need is. It's easy to get siloed, it's hard to get out of certain departments, there's no time to do development at work. The roles that need talent need specific skills ASAP, so they don't take on promising people and train/develop them. They'd rather shuffle the same dozen managers and analysts around.
Even shorter answer: It's not lack of talent; it's an unwillingness to take the time to develop your people.
I think this was a calculated attempt to reduce employees with the pension in operations. The issue is the brain drain you get with litigation and other high skilled areas. New handlers making the job minimum aren’t wanting so much responsibility and claim inventories for what they are paid. Sooner or later pay will have to go up, their 40k is just average.
