Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

If you never negotiated your salary when interviewing for a new job….you are the fool

Coming from somebody who’s never gotten what they think they’re worth.go polish your participation trophy collection scooter.

Truth? You get what you are worth? Silver spoon mentality!

Universal truth alert: you are paid EXACTLY what you are worth! If you feel you deserve more go get it,either here or elsewhere scooter, but please, spare us the whining.

Yeah, I just had a friend start in express. They are wishing they had negotiated a little bit higher than just to match their prior job (not in insurance), but they were able to negotiate.

@2zml

You don’t know what you are talking about. I have a friend who is start in claims express. She was able to negotiate her pay twice with the same HR rep. They are in fact negotiating pay for new hires….especially if they have experience.

There is absolutely no truth to this post. The company just experienced a year where they incurred a loss. The most expensive cost to the company is the workforce. So then why would the company turn around and pay new people more, rather than less, if it doesn’t align with their goal, which is profit over people? They wouldn’t. Use your head.

They are already rewarding good workers with pay bumps not tied to reviews. If you haven’t gotten one I guess you know where you stand…..

Company has a major issue retaining talent and keeping people who carry the weight of all their negotiated pay new hires.

State Farm really needs to end its war on competence. Reward the good workers without forcing them to fight for it every step of the way.

Bought and paid for by whom? More crapaganda from the mentally disturbed.

Everyone at top level and exec levels amd board needed to go a long time ago. Tools to the system. And bought and paid for. Consumers beware

@1abl-you wouldn’t know truth if it bit you. You spread lies everyday like the disease you are….

Then, leadership from TM on up wonders why they cant be trusted. Lying and stealing from anyone at anytime should be admonished at all cost. As you go up the food chain it gets even worse. I would attest to this based not only on my internal experiences but my family as well.

I know a few CS in Injury that got salary adjustments when bringing up issues about pay. They were all high performers, but did end up leaving the company for nice raises with other companies soon after.

@tub. TRUTH AND FACT!

This has been going on for the last 2 years because they can’t find people to take the jobs.Why worry about the people in the seats, they won’t quit.The company does not care anymore about retaining talent in claims.It’s not a concern for leadership at any level. 16,000 new employees in 2022 should be something to be ashamed of but MT pats himself on the back over it.SF was always an elite company that offered great benefits, great pay and an amazing culture that people begged to come work for.SF had one of the best reputations for development of its employees.Times have changed, its barely the level of flipping burgers in a fast food joint.SF is no longer a career, it’s barely a job.Until the board recognizes that MT is toxic for the company and it’s brand it will continue in the downward spiral.Next year it will be 30 Billion in losses.
State farm is now the sweat shop of Insurance companies.

@mnd-your mom wants you to clean up your room in the basement and you need to rub her feet later.

It's who you know and who you blow! The SF way!

Newsflash. Life isn’t fair. Sometimes you have to ask for what you want. You also have to understand the answer might be “no”.

That's pretty standard across all big companies in the US, and has been for decades: New hires making more money than people who’ve been with the company for years.
