Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Probably young tippy promoted yet again.

TOMORROW IS TWO WEEKS. Haven't heard anything.

All customer facing roles will be back in the office full time by end of 2026. Once U/W is done it will open up a lot of space plus currently two weeks a month no one is in the buildings. We do have the space. That is not going to last! Prepare!

ET is returning if to the office one day a week. Announcement coming first quarter of 2026. In line with other non customer facing roles

I hope the big announcement in an exit offer.

Section Manager just gave us a heads up that we are going to be in the office at least 50% of the time starting in 2026.... Joy!

Enterprise Technology will be in the office "more", but haven't heard how prescriptive the requirements will be.

OP thanks for the heads up on the earth shattering announcement that was coming our way. No more bonus for completing insurance designations? How will we go on? You donut.

@1c4 we just got it. No more bonus money for completing an industry education certification. LOL.

Still waiting for the big announcement

I love all these b-m “salesmen” and “insurance professionals” taking the side of the company in these posts. Brother, you sell auto insurance, which is legally required if someone wants to drive a car, and home insurance, which every homeowner will need, and yet you guys still have atrocious loss ratios and struggle to run your businesses. You sell the easiest things to sell and still manage to do it badly enough that you’re stuck working for this company.

One week down. One more until the big bs announcement. Whatever could it be?

@vk an exec said something and you believed them?

You must be new here lmao

@wh You had them youre responsible!

We won’t return to office. I won’t pay for daycare. I like watching my kids while getting paid. You can pay for daycare off you want me back. Thousands of others feel the same way.

ET will never return to office full time. Exec told us that

I cant wait to see the old dog bites return to the office. It will be nice to see what I pay for actually work for a living and bring some discipline back into their life. It will aalso be nice to see the leaders putn a days work as well. State Farm, like the federal government, has been milking it for too long and that includes AGENCY as well!

@pj not to mention the 30 floors of nearly vacant floor space on the south side of Bloomington that they tried and failed to sell.

RTO is 100% coming.

@sm you must not have worked pre-covid in a SF building. Shave, shower and shined shoes were an anomaly even then. The problem started well before covid when we went to hiring in the 3 hubs. Walk around a hub and count up the number of employees sporting the latest homeless-chic look.

Funny! I rode my bicycle by leased facility they are continuing to pay lease money to the other day. Contractors were working on the facility installing new lights in the parking lot whle going in and out of the building. Interesting. Get ready to get your A z z out of bed earlier, shine your shoes, get dressed, shave and shower. Go to work just like the rest of the people in this country! Laziness is no longer compensatory.

Great! Lay em off! Prices need to drop.

There is truth to what the OP said. So leadership received an email today which was about the timeline of layoffs (they're calling it "involuntary exit"). Everyone will find out mid December if the dept you work in is in group 1 or group 2. If you weren't concerned before, you should definitely be concerned now.

SF is paying 364,000.00 per month on a leased facility that remains empty. SF refusedon't an offer to buy out the lease at 50,000 less per month. Does that tell you something? How do they justify paying that much money for an empty building to their policyholders? That is lost income. Not investment capital. Net loss. It makes sense to bring them back into the office while taking the loses for those who dont come back.

Plenty of empty offices they are still paying to lease. Hummmm!

@km can't be RTO if there is no office.

RTW mandates! Going to be funny!

@OP oh there will be announcements, but it won't be anything earth breaking. Maybe the 2nd round of early retirement offers effective in April, big deal. The only major changes that'll happen are claims, underwriting and those type of areas. The low pay, low knowledge roles.

@d0 i will rto for 4x pay, i'd rather work at faang then

@d0

That is not what’s coming out shortly!

Then why are you still visiting this web-site?

No one gives a sh-t anymore.

Oh boy. Another “ big announcement coming” post. After thirty years of false alarms. Wake me up if anything actually happens.

ET is safe. No return to office. No room. Pension is safe. No worries for those who have it.

What else is new. Auto adjusters still don't know jack sh*t about a vehicle. They're luck if they know how to put gas in it.

Something must be happening. Everyone from CEO to ET leadership is on a call right now

Hope y'all are ready for RTO is all I'm sayin. Especially if you're assigned to Bloomington.

Not really......
Numerous areas have been basically shut down and people reassigned against their will or terminated
U/W is doing severance packages and reassigning people to claims
Tuition Aid was cut in half
No more anniversary payments
Outsourcing to HCL and Everise and a few other places
Agency leadership is going through transition plans and agent's renewal commissions are being cut
Health care cost went up including premiums and deductibles doubled
more to come........

Every quarter comes to a close with this same nothingburger post.

@OP I will believe this when I see it... In other news, EIP is at 101%!

So glad they run this by you before they share it with the company.
