This place is insane! Every Monday... I can't sleep the night before and just dread this place. State Farm has absolutely no clue what it is doing. There is always a systems problem, always some update waiting to be downloaded messing up some application. Over the last 13 years the people they are hiring are just absolute trash, bottom of the barrel burger flippers. 2040 and DEI outcasts. The agent's are completely useless and cause so many issues you can barely do you job due to their meddling. Training is awful, traffic and cost of living is horrendous in the hubs and we get paid the same as fully remote workers but have thousands of dollars in additional expense. Now it's all about emotions and feelings and surveys asking you about things they never have any intention of changing. You need to better manage your health to adapt to all the stress they are going to cause and never offer anything to make the work environment better.
State Farm is like a bad dream you never wake up from and the madness never stops. Just constant organized chaos and it's hard to believe this company is even in business. I still can't believe they destroyed this once great company. This place continues to be a soul su-king sh-t hole. They are basically openly hostile to anyone that tells them their baby is ugly and keep doubling down on a completely failed business model. I wish they would offer some form of voluntary severance. Just stop the suffering. Pathetic really, JF and his minions are joke for an era and legacy that need to be removed like a cancerous growth and they just continue to stain and destroy everything they touch. Mo--ns, just absolute mo--ns!

@OP 13 years later and you're still here complaining? At this point, it's your fault that you're miserable. You could have left at any point or tried to switch roles, move into leadership to make it better! You chose to sit and stew. That really su-ks for you, but it is actually pretty comical.
The Mainframe peeps are almost all gone ... most of the programers are from india... and they are terrible, watching them would be a Master Class on how NOT to Program....the Support Center is now fully offshored and most of the Leadership came from the business side and could not find their oversized backside with both hands but I digress.... whoever has a pension better watch out ..... LOL they are coming for it because they are so broke.... Michael LipSore finished what Mr Eddddddddd started.
Clearly leadership skills are not nurtured identified notice nor rewarded. Very untalented group.
Get a new job genius. You aren't a slave, you can quit whenever you want. Or do you just love complaining and being a loser?
You again? Turn the page
OP-why do you stay?
If you think things are bad now I n systems just wait another 1 to 2 years. It's going to get worse before it gets better.
Time to find something else and quit or take a sabattical so you have time to find something else, buddy. Believe me, there's truth in your post and I'm there with you (except I'm fully remote), but take a deep breath and know you deserve better. We all do and it's not worth stressing over anymore.
What do you expect? That's how they roll!
