I can only imagine it’s to tell us the transition plan has been approved. Anyone ever hear of a transition plan getting shut down??

I’m the OP and I’ve been with State Farm for 15+ years and I have also opted out. Every manager I have talked to, have said they’ve never heard of transition plan that got turned down, so this would be a first, granted this group of Jackwagons running the show have no clue to what they’re doing so it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine them screwing this up as well.
I have a theory that they will announce that the plan was not approved. I predict they will tell us it was presented to the Board and the Board told them it is obvious they don't know what in the h___ they are doing.
As a Proximity rep, I've already opted out after 25 yrs with the company so they may change course just to screw with me. Seems they have fun doing that.
I heard Tipsturd accidentally laid himself off but forgot to tell himself so we fixed the glitch. We contacted payroll and stopped paying him. You mean he was told he was laid off. Whoa, now hold on there professor, we just fixed the glitch the rest of it takes care of itself. See statistics show its best to have layoffs on a Friday to avoid an incident. It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. I notice you've been missing a lot of work recently...well I wouldn't say I've been missing it.
I feel like they will tell us the plan has been approved, possibly a quicker timeline on the new job announcements. I believe the only way they could make significant changes to the plan is it would have to be rejected first and then everyone would start over at square 1 with a new plan, that would be the complete dumpster fire scenario
Trust me.. in ET.. We had a all mgt call, then all mgt had to pull their teams into a another meeting for an hour to regurgitate the content that was provide to management under the guise that maybe we could solicit questions before the big show on Weds. All they did was speak to the same talking points that we heard before, and could not "comment" on any meaningful information that would actually benefit anyone other then the vivify sensors.
I don't care as I've opted out. Over twenty years with the Company, over twenty years in my role. I don't need this anymore. I have been told my multiple people from varying geographic areas of the country that my very transferable skill sets are worth more outside than in.
"You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't, Mr. (Tipsord). In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider! And... [turning to his aide] And that goes for you, too! "
" I'm shakin' the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm gonna see the world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Coliseum."
If it's really just to tell us that the plan is approved... couldn't that just be announced via an email?? Why would it need to be another "everyone stop what you're doing & here this all at the same time" urgent call? Not to mention the separate pre-calls with management. I'm thinking there may be a significant change to the proposed plan possibly. Otherwise, why make it another call? I haven't heard of other segments having VPO calls to announce plan approvals. Thought?
