I am sure you have heard "We pay what we owe, no more and no less." Well, remember this as you read through these posts that have a common theme. State Farm does not give you a darn thing. Give in not in their vocabulary. Everything you get, you earned! Don't let them tell you "We gave you...."

@1ads....another manufactured “point”. You speculate the increase in 401k match . Then you further speculate that the first “what if” means the pension is going away. Sheer speculation multiplied on itself. I’m not going waste my time being outraged with State Farm over what you speculate they might do. Good grief, Charlie Brown.
Don't buy into the loss of pension in lui of a higher 401K plan contribution. They tout every year they review benefits to be a competitive employer and I haven't heard anything!
OP's point was not manufactured....all pointing to 401K increase in match without pension.
@1ods-I haven’t seen anything from State Farm that implies they are giving anything away. OP’s “point” was self manufactured.
The alleged changes to benefit packages are pointless. They are still a toxic employer. 401k increase won’t matter to people that wont stay long enough earn it. Increased PTO means nothing to all the people that aren’t allowed to use vacation in their department. This boils down to smoke in mirrors. Make it look like something good to hide all that is bad. Nothing can hide the toxicity that is working for State Farm since MT took over as CEO.
The only change that would have any meaning is for them to staff up enough to allow current employees to actually be able to use the PTO they already earned. They will never do it because nobody wants to work there. They cant even keep the people they hire because it becomes obvious really fast that money is not a sole motivator in ones career.
Too little too late.
If it's a great time to be an employee, why can't they retain their employees and there is a high turnover rate?
Wait until the new benefits package rolls out in 2020. Big changes. Good news for employees. Now is a great time to be an employee.
OP point is how they make it look like they are doing you such a huge favor when in reality they screw the employee! I guess I need to draw a picture.
All true. But not unfair or unexpected. So OP’s point is what?
In your dept, do they pass out candy bars when you correctly answer a question? I usually prefer the snickers, but will also go with the mars or pay day.
