Been quiet since the announcement to add jobs, add two new holidays and as we know,,,, not done yet! For the first time in a long time it actually feels like things are getting better.

@1dg ET will gladly come into office, like everyone else.
Things are great. As long as they don’t make ET come into the office.
@me ha ha so funny....it's laughable
@me I am NOT feeling "better" because I know it's another ploy to distract us...then watch your back!!! Something will happen. Just wait!!
@b8 Don't forget about the snakes!! Where's there's rats there's snakes!! That pond is the perfect habitat. I've seen pictures of snakes inside heavily trafficked areas so they aren't hiding!! Kind of symbolic don't you think? Just saying...
@w2 the result of diversity with zero inclusion. SH*T they promote WNBA BS!
Perhaps SF's biggest error is the hub concept. SF used to be in middle sized towns where it would offer the best pay and benefits and could be very selective in hiring. Now, being located in the metro hubs, SF is just another player....nothing special.
The hiring process has changed dramatically now with HR recruiting at hbcus and other places. The message is quite clear....white guys need not apply.
And SF wonders why the turnover is so high.
Get a load of corporate PR team posting below!
This week has been better. I do feel the pendulum swinging the other way. This job is far from easy and there will be hard times ahead but right now, I feel pretty good. There are small changes, yes. But what really helps is when those around you are also working hard.
@gt Man does this hit hard......
Such a realistic take and it reads like comedy. HR karens are in full control and we cant have any icky men leading, which is why we have such a weak CEO, karen approved male.
Hey she checks the box, creates utter devastation, confusion and drama....and provides protection for our Executives to keep stealing the company blind! When the DEI hires messes it up so bad, they just reassign them to another area. That's why most of us are going on our 13th SM or CM or VP in the last year.....Seagull leadership, swoop down out of the clouds, sh-t on everyone and fly back away! It is the SF way!!!! Come on 3000 new hires....performance support is going to be busy!!!! Only the finest.....from the DMV and fast good industry!
State Farm has sold out its brand!
But if you’re an overqualified white guy with a decade in leadership, MBA, CPCU, still no second leader job for you! Oh but looky a 24 year old girl with less than 2 years here’s an LDA!!
Airwrecka is getting her resume ready to apply for State Farm! 2999 and counting.....
This is a legit ploy to make people happy. The company has been doing this for years. The company is going to hire warm bodies. There will be no consistency or hope. I’m actively looking to leave.
3000 new hires! Ohhh boy I can't wait! McDonalds, Burger King, Dollar General and Jack In The Box better start retention bonuses because we are gunning for their "best talent". Our training...so top notch!!! The weed smell in the parking garage will be overwhelming and I can hear the smoke detectors chirping and Dodge Hellcats and Altimas roaring! This place is a complete trash dump and adding 3000 more reta-ds is only going to make it worse!!!!
Theyve said this a few times over the last decade. Claims was going to hire like 10k a few years ago and didnt, and then before that had big hiring plans, nothing came of it.
Problem is, sure hire 3000 people but you wont be able to find 3000 qualified people at the hubs to hire, thats always been their issue, theyve burned through most the viable labor pool at all the hubs, amazon has the same issues with delivery, theyd love to hire more but few are interested due to earned bad reputation, and then those who are hired quit quickly, due to earned bad reputation.
What im getting at here is, they need to first fix claims and well their customer facing roles into desirable roles where people wont choose to leave. Otherwise youll hire 3000 in 2026, and in 2027 there will be 1500 left and by 2028 100 left. Thats why they NEED to hire...they cant keep people around.
So this is the usual gaslighting we care about quality and employee while actually doing nothing. Theyll hire the same exact amount as they were going to anyway, which is everyone qualified if any are left, only to watch most leave within a year or two.
Consider making customer facing roles less of a frustrating hellscape where you rag on everyone over pointless issues until they leave. Then try to hire people. You wont though and in a few years theyll say the same thing with the same results.
Careful.......they will never care about you. Look at what they have taken in the past 50 years while they throw you crumbs.
Realizing that they need to be nicer as people with choice will not willingly come into corporate south. ET not slated to come back in until 2028 which allows them to kick the can a bit. They are beginning to realize that nobody is going to come back in
Let me help you read between the lines! They are about to bring everyone back into the office and know there is going to have huge turnover. Plus they still think they can con underwriting people into take horrible claims jobs. Going to be the typical State Farm complete joke! SF gives you nothing with out adding 10 additional problems! Everyone knows that, still the same total sh-t bags. You are right...not done yet!
@an Seriously. Having expectations for specialists to work all their new claims within a 24 hour sevice level while they go ahead and assign you 5, 6, 7, up to any uncapped unlimited number of new claims every day. It's never staffed right for distributing the work and for meeting their self-imposed speed and quality expectations. Nobody can truly care because there's always a speed vs quality trap set for you. Can't do 10 new claims in 7.75 hours a day with perfect quality? Something is wrong with you. Doing claims as fast as possible to avoid management harassment about working your new claims? Tough sh-t because "you missed this, you missed that, didn't do this or that, didn't say this, didn't say that, did something wrong, etc". You have claims that aren't "new" too.
Remember when they hired all of the claims folks 3-4 years ago? then turned around and let most of those go? These things are simply actions of an incompetent leadership team. Adding additional holidays is good, but it's smoke and mirrors to keep people artificially happy. They build a great benefits package, but then can't figure out how to create a healthy workplace.
And good luck to all of us moving back to rat-infested Corp South again. But I'm sure the 2 extra holidays will make up for that.
Adding jobs to replace the attrition. So they cut to the bone, realized they sc--wed up, and backtracked. And you are treating that like a win.
