Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Why did SF not just offer early retirement package to employees 55 and older? Or at least start there?

I know a few cases where people were planning on retiring this year but held out for a severance, and then got jobs. Now they're just going to retire. Those jobs could have went to some others who weren't planning on leaving anyway.

Of course anyone 55 or older would take the offer...who wouldn't?

Also supposedly they are going to have some retraining going on in claims....going to learn what is a good quality contact and what isn't...lol I can tell you now this "retraining" is going to be a complete waste of time.

What the Farm needs to do is get US worker bees to care about doing our job...retraining isn't what is going to get us to care.

So many mistakes are being made in claims. the mistakes that are being made is that we just don't care anymore about giving Remarkable Customer Service....we just don't care.

Make us care about giving Remarkable Customer Service.

Nice to see that the number of and type of policies that are being cancelled continues to rise and rise and SF still thinks it is a dang technology company??? Ha ha! Haven’t seen any technology that the farm is selling and turning a profit! Let alone any policies that are turning a profit! No wonder SF has to cut costs and people!!

At least in ET, it isn't about reducing total numbers, but numbers in certain roles. If they offered it to everyone, we'd really be in trouble especially in some areas. You know, because we don't train people anymore since apparently people are plug and play. Most of the people on my team just got reassigned to something they have no experience in or even know what the technology is. I already know that I'm going to have to train a half dozen people. This is going to be a stressful year, especially if they think real work is going to be done

That would have been the easy way. They want those remaining to-be indoctrinated into their culture of punishment and learn they get their time off only when the company says so, etc. Ask somene who still works at Staples. They hate it. Thats what FA did there.

Because Tipsord ran the numbers and figured his way was cheaper. Hopefully he'll lose a couple age discrimination lawsuits to see the error of his ways.
