I experienced harassment and discrimination in their boiler room. I wasn't the only one. A co-worker was REPEATEDLY (going on 4 years now) passed over on promotions SOLELY because of her speech impediment which has NOTHING to do with her job, period. Her job was on the computer, inputing data. I walked in on a conversation between the supervisor and a co-worker commenting on her upcoming interview and she would never get promoted because of a physical disability. I waited 6 months to see IF she would get a promotion and NOPE. People hired off the street over her. She's LOYAL, never late, work product is awesome. It's all because of a physical disability. I complained to State Farm on their hotline, a worker took a report. Guess WHAT? NO PHONE CALL BACK. I told State Farm I would work internally before going to the EEOC. I'm done with State Farm. I filed my two complaints with the EEOC. My friend is so afraid of losing her job because of age discrimination she doesn't even ask for a raise. Gets NO BENEFITS. When Min wage went up 1.50 did State Farm raise HER salary or anyone else in their boiler room? Hell no. Now instead of 1.50 more per hour than MIN WAGE, we make 50 cents. State Farm's employment practices, discrimination and repetitive work injury resulting in FIRING needs to be exposed. I know of 300 people that work in this boiler room. I hope someone other than me has the GUTS to file a complaint with the GOV. I am permanently injured by State Farm employment and my reward was laid off with an inoperable hand and a kick in the butt.

I came on this board hoping to get some advice for my situation. Instead, ridicule. No doubt those ridiculing were some of the same I worked with and did the ribbing in the daily "ridicule"-the-stats meetings. Failings on the whiteboard. If the numbers written LARGELY weren't enough, the public ridicule did the job.
I feel sorry for any of you who ended up in the unit I did. Injured and out. Perhaps some of you calling my experience a "troll" will some of those so "lovingly" laid off. I won't have any sympathy for you.
After they “fix the glitch”, I just hope they let me keep my red stapler.
Some of these posts are concerning. I am concerned about who the poster is and if I am working with them!
300 in the boiler room, lol!
I happen to work in the rowing room on the State Farm galley ship. They keep me chained to a bench and get a lot of blisters, but the pension is good.
Whatever
What a stupid post!!!!! troll
The auto claims op center I worked in until I was terminated over a set up guaranteed failure situation due to the volume and staffing issues was and is a boiler room. A hostile work environment where even front line management was afraid to speak to the section manager often due to his emotional state due to the reduculus stress he was and is under. Sad situation for all. Reminds one of Nazi tactics disenfranchise, bully, harass, target and march away the weak, the different, the vocal, the intelligent, the loyal. The compliant ones remain, but at what expense to self? For how long? Good luck to all.
@SavLqvP - Ummm do you understand that this is not a real boiler room, but a term to describe a sweat shop or Call Center.
Fake News!
Don’t feed this troll.
