I wish people would just leave State Farm en masse. Just get up and leave. Leave those on top to scramble and try to find people who have not already heard about the way they've been mistreating their employees to come and replace us. And than watch them fail miserably.
I know it's never going to happen, but let a man dream.
Could target Founders Day for a sickout since the next board meeting is the week after. Show the board how employees feel.
@SmtbqyP-1swl Troll? Kind of a loose use of that word. Not everyone who says something is a troll. @SmtbqyP-1swl You just showed your behind. I’d like to use another word but I won’t.
Shut up troll... this is not the French transportation union.
Everyone should just go into work and protest by not doing anything for a few days. They can’t get you for not being there or not taking vacation. Something creative needs to happen here. They are being reckless and all of the good people are or have left.
I'm hoarding vacation time. I plan to get as much pay out as possible when I'm shown the door.
What if all the employees took the same week off, or at least 2-3 days. That would send a message on getting upper management to listen. Being laid off is looming over all their heads, causing undue stress, which is causing illnesses and even worse scenarios. It would be successful if the majority participated.
If employees are unhappy then work on your resume and start looking . The reason State Farm has a pension is to get people tied to the company and they pay employees well and in fact overpay. If you have too much debt and mortgage then you are stuck and now houses aren’t selling in Bloomington. Be smart and go where jobs are at .
Based on what I’ve witnessed over the past 34 years, the best employees leave and the remaining stay
They're going to feel a lot of pain in the next year. They're losing a lot of experience in jobs with this reorg. You've got teams with members that have years and even decades of experience being moved. They won't get it until it impacts the ledger.
They're feeling the ledger right now with lost policies partly because of the nightmare they've made of Claims..and they're doubling down on it
Can confirm - 3/2 Proximity rep (3/3 is next to impossible in our area) left last fall. I know of others with 3's that left before or after me. It was a good run for 20+ years and I out worked any of the newbies. I could see the handwriting on the wall that people like me were no longer valued and so I left. I can confirm that there is life after the Farm.
This is already happening. No, people aren't storming out in gigantic numbers all at once, but yes, the best and the brightest are leaving in droves, leaving State Farm with people who are tethered to the company, either because they're too vested to leave, tied to a location, or lack fundamental skills to compete elsewhere.
Yeah, I realize some people just don't want to leave the company despite fitting none of those categories, but the mass exodus of the best and brightest is real.
You go first! I’m sure we will all line up behind you.
