Has anyone spoken to an attorney about the employment laws in their areas and whether or not ad is violating local employment laws? They post job requirements, then give the jobs to younger reps who do not have the experience and training of more tenured people. Bit dies seem if they can't buy out the old folks, they will make their lives a living he'll until they drop dead or quit...

Do not spend your hard earned money on hiring a lawyer to fight SF for the awful way they have mistreated their VERY loyal employees. I was told he who has the most money wins. SF has more money than its entire employment population put together. It's sad, awful, ruthless, and downright heartbreaking to watch the company willfully push their employees to the piont of death. But guess what? They don't give a s$!t.
Go to the news media.
Was told by three labor/employment law attorneys I had a strong case but they would not take case because it was too risky against State Farm and costly for them on contingency if they lost. They said there may be other firms that would handle. I may seek additional attorney review. It is the principle of letting them get away with their behavior that I object to. But, I am moving on with my life and find it very upsetting every time I have to read through the paperwork and my notes of what was done to me. I encourage filing with EEOC for current employees to seek remedial action by EEOC for hostile work environment and discriminations. I encourage filing with EEOC for prior employees who were terminated or forced out. I am sure SF watches every post and would not be surprised to hear they have people assigned to place posts to manipulate this sight.
Attorney should be hired. Their treatment of employees terrible. I repeat. Terrible. I’ve only been here four years and it’s the worst company I ever worked for. (And yes Atlanta employees in Bloomington have worked in other major cities. Just cause you choose to live with traffic shouldn’t mean the rest of us suffer. Do your job.) They should be sued. All nepotism.
I know some SF VPs that keep tabs on this site, so I'm sure.
In know a lawsuit seems like a solution, but don't forget who you are up against. State Farm actually BOUGHT a Supreme Court judge in Illinois. Even if you have the law on your side... Even if you have Justice on your side... State Farm would rather spend a million dollars on their (((lawyers))) rather than spend a million dollars "helping life go right" for their policy holders and employees
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the recent and pervasive long term use of TWA (temporary work assignments) is not in violation of some law. I used to think that if someone was going to be a TWA they would get paid at that job level too, but I guess that is not the case.
These used to be short term (think 6 months or less), and they make sense from the perspective that everyone gets "to try before they buy". However, over the past few years this is a long term strategy or something that is permeating all levels. I understand TWA for Section Manager and even Team Manager professional level positions. It seemed less odd when it was typically SM level. Long term use of TWA for some para-prof Express Claim Associates to work as prof level Claim Specialists at their regular lower pay (especially when there is no actual promotion opportunity in sight) is just lame at best, and at worst...
