This company is pure garbage. I've never witnessed such a debacle in my life. Everything about it is toxic, the commercials, the service, the agents, the cr-p workforce and leadership. I talked to a customer recently that said the same thing and said it appears we are only interested advertising stupid commercials, putting our name on stadiums, stupid Bateman commercials, and paying Patrick Mahomes more money. She said after 30 years with SF she is moving all of their policies because we have become like every other company and could care less about the customer and its employees. She said that she could tell everyone she spoke to sounded absolutely miserable and hated their jobs. She had heard MT got a $24 million dollar bonus while she is getting a 17% rate hike. I couldn't say a word but she couldn't have been more right! Place is a sh-t hole!

@10g I don't and will not answer those questions. Nice try!
Which county was it that offered to buy out a corporations lease? Where at? What city? What county? Why are they wanting to buy out a lease as SF is just a tenant? Explain?
@f9 Counties do offer to buy out leases and property. Look it up Dip sh*t!
@nn Poindexter has a point!
@g5 - Another bitter Poindexter.
@f9 wrong.
Like a good neighbor State Farm is not there! It's now the neighbor "hood". SF is the .....Ghetto, the Carnival Cruise, the Nissan Altima, the Cadillac Escalade, the Colt 45, the KFC, the Spirt Airlines, Waffle House at 2:30 am, the Disney remake, the grape soda, and moon pie of the business world. Leave that place as soon as you can!
MAX DIAZ BABY!
Idi-t, counties do not offer to buy out leases. They collect property taxes issue permits etc.... and that is it! They don't buy real estate! Go back to Express! State Farm doesn't even own the buildings any more and haven't for years. They sold them to invest groups that leased them back to SF for 15 years. Plus buildings in Dallas, Phoenix and Atlanta have been sub-leased out to other companies that are not SF. Mo--n....keeping trolling....
2023- Richardson’s CityLine office tower complex, a 2.2 million-square-foot, mixed-use property off U.S. 75, was sold last week by lead investor Mirae Asset Global Investments and partnering investor Transwestern Investment Group.
@e4 Liars, damn liars and statistics! OK wise guy. Tell me why would a county offer State Farm 50 million to buy out their lease and State Farm would counteroffer 80 million then let county walk away with no deal and continue to pay 80 million on a lease. I think the reasoning is obvious. Bring them back in the office to coordinate with others to provide the alleged fantastic numbers you mention. Common sense would dictate that to be in line with the 2040 staffing model. Not only that we could get rid of the six digit managers sitting at home being keyboard warriors doing nothing and YES they are out there. If SF is going to be competitive we must reduce overpaid and underproducing workers who have no face to face personal contact with the customers. We must stop the entitlement. AI will eliminate a lot. It's always best to get ahead of the curve.
The numbers show that our WFH employees have better production/metrics then our in-office employees and do not have as many unscheduled absences and/or performance management for dependability and reliability. During our Exec briefing State Farm acknowledged that working from home was saving State Farm about 30 million dollars. Every single study that has been done says that WFH employees are more productive. The Execs never say it is about productivity, they use the... we need"collaboration, culture, team building" BS. It's really about if people show they are self-sufficient then we do not need as many of them, the Execs! They are creating fake self worth! You know that again you are just the same troll on every post or probably even worse a useless SF Agent! Go back to sleep!
@dv Ignore what makes sense? Another one defending a paycheck for laziness.
Same troll again. Ignore
WFH is a joke....They need to be able to monitor the phone calls so they can listen to the BS management, and the employees say to the customer. The lies, condescending and arrogant statements should be addressed. Yep! It is definitely long overdue to make all up and down the food chain accountable. That is the only way a toxic environment will be resolved. They are not a team if they cannot work together.
WFH troll tries it on every post. Just ignore them.
@ax Voluntary layoffs? Wouldn't they make their quota by ordering people back to the office if they have empty buildings paying lease money for? They aren't saving money by WFH. Send em back to office and cut labor costs. Reduce premium and go back to focusing on the customer instead of pajama keyboard warriors. Just saying....be ready.
Wouldnt it be wise to send them back to office so they would quit and not need to layoff? Just saying...
@aj Wouldn’t cover the postage in a single round of ID card mailings. It’s a lot of money, but it’s certainly not why rates are increasing.
@OP I’ll take “made up conversations that never happened” for $1000, Alex.
It's soul su-king for the employees. P&C claims is a total sh-t show. The many changes they are implementing are overwhelming and make the work take three times as long to complete. The new phone system is sh-t. And they micromanage employees and threaten them daily, you will comply or else. No wonder customers aren't happy. Employees are miserable. If they offered open voluntary exits to all they'd have very few employees stay if any. Probably just some woke managers.
40% of the claims workforce, works from home. So Proximity folks and estimators are necessary but most have no need to be in the field. It presents an enormous problem for SF because they pay everyone the same regardless of if they are in a hub or WFH. Most research shows that WFH employees save anywhere from $7-10K a year versus people that have to commute into the office even 5 days a week. State Farm treats people like pure sh-t and if they tried to make people move to the hub it would not be successful. They know that only about 10-15% of the people will move and the rest just take the severance or quit. There is no way I would move to Dallas, Phoenix, Bloomington or Atlanta for SF. The places are now all sh-t holes that are too crowded and cost of living has gone through the roof with no increase in pay. Plus the place is an absolute horror show and everyone knows it. Most of my peers, including me are all looking for another job. It will take awhile and I don't even care if I take a huge cut it pay. It will be worth it to leave this sh-t hole. These Execs can rot in h-ll.
Oh MT got $22 @ $24 million dollar bonuses on top of the almost $8 million in compensation. If you were to see what he earned over his 10 years plus PS, RY, MS and other lackeys, it was well over $200-$300 million over 10 years. Don't forget the buying "bad business" and he did lose $8 billion and $27 billion -$35 billion, to fabricate growth to create these fake bonuses. Spread that $35 billion across 60,000 employees and see what that does. That's around $583,333 an employee! Let that sink it!
SF will learn business is NOT metrics, tasks, and production. SF is about internal and external customers. They have lost that focus. FYI WFH people. I have met with a county commissioner and SF lease is up in another 8 to 10 years and SF has refused offers to buy their lease. In short, those that WFH need to start thinking about coming back into a leased facility. 2026. They can put you back in the office just as fast as they took you out of the office. Be ready!
I'm certainly not defending MT's bonus (he wasn't worth a penny that he got) but if you take his bonus and give every policy holder a refund, it would be less than a dollar.
I wish they would offer severance to anyone who wanted it. It would be awesome to see them have to shut the doors as a huge portion of their employees would bolt out the door! Surprise SF is not on the national news more. This whole industry and corporate America is digging a deep hole that they can't get out of. Place is just soul ki-ling!
