Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

@dz “ We have evil people running the show. ”
Jon Farney goes to Eastview Christian Church and that lends credibility of how evil he is! That church fosters pedophiles and members are favored at State Farm. This organization is led by criminals and degenerates!

agree with below poster, last survey let them know people didnt want to RTO, so they are doing RTO, perhaps people werent upset enough with that, so they are going to realign a lot of underwriting and some support departments into claims. they purposely keep claims as, well, he-l on earth, so turnover is sky high.

Plan is simple, irritate/frustrate/make unhappy so you leave, then they dont have to pay severance and avoid headlines about layoffs.

So they are going to be funneling people in desirable roles into claims with the intention youll leave sooner than later due to how awful they try to make claims departments.

In 6 months, all the departments that lost people to claims will need to hire again, and the process repeats. This keeps everyone in the comfy "under 2 years" mark and keeps labor cheap. If they can they will replace you with offshore workers, if not theyll hire off the street and then in a few years reassign you to claims. Its a process ive seen play out over and over and over again.

Quality and customer are no concern outside of gaslighting you it is. They have lost sight of what we do and who we are as a company, and only seek metrics and short term "make line go up" which is why we continue to decline as company, which is never spoken about and i guess of no concern to our executives.

The only thing that will save this company is to kick out the entire board of directors, they set this ship right for an iceberg, put someone in control that's too weak to steer the ship (twice) and have just accepted impact and sinking ship.

This won't be layoff in the traditional sense, it will be realign/restructure/RTO for company needs orne forced out maybe some early retirement for people. But SF doesn't need layoffs when they can just pull the right levers and force people to leave. That last giant survey we did a few months back was just them finding out how far they can turn the dial each time to achieve the desired effect.

most people already know whats happening if they are going to be impacted. They are "over capacity" in some roles, mostly underwriting service and production. those people get to choose the payout (leave) or reassignment to a claims hellscape. In a few weeks theyll need more people in those roles and will have BPO (offshore workers) fill in.

Its just a plan to get rid of people, but they want to save face and being mean, so you go to whatever claims department is the designated meat grinder of turnover.

Any updates??

They just want the workforce to be as miserable as possible. They are willing to pay money to make everyone mad via more RTO, vs saving money and cutting the overpriced office space. Then they are going to force you into departments designed to have high turnover in claims, they want that turnover, and will send you there by force if they have to. They want upset workers leaving so they can justify hiring overseas. Remember our product is a minimally viable product not a quality product.

We have evil people running the show. Claims has been a horror show for at least a decade, so dont even assume that its not intentional.

@dj meetings start at 1pm. Some departments had theirs yesterday and they definitely mentioned voluntary leaves.

Updates?

ET department meeting th next day.
Buckle up. Likely just icp icp india India icp icp taco bell story less people less people RTO

Who cares, I am already leaving. They are hiring the new CS in at 10k more than I what I am making. Truth. Got another job. See ya loser SF

Layoffs baby

@a6 if they thought claims had a problem with retention and training they would have fixed it by now. They obviously do not see a problem with it.

DO NOT GOT TO CLAIMS!!! It is a complete and total sh-t hole! It's worse than you can imagine and the horror stories do not do it justice. It is a life, soul ki-ling, evil pit from h-ll that will destroy you very sense of being and mental/physical health.
Maybe do the training and work the first 60-90 days but after that bolt!

@OP VP led meetings about voluntary release, requirements, etc

Reassignments into claims. A lot of underwriting service and para-prof roles will have the option to move, wait to be forced, or take the payout. Some TMs will have to go through this. Im not sure if any maybe a few in underwriting, mostly auto and production roles, i think fire UW is safe for now.

Wonder what all this costs the company, to keep losing so many claim handlers, having to rehire, train, then force people from other roles into it....like fix claims already....or at least start trying finally...

What section is this? I haven't seen anything in mine yet.

Nothing good. We hope it’s good but we know is not.

It wont be good. Last time they did meetings like this, it was due to people crying after the meeting, and it was about shutting the LOCs and people having to choose their job or moving. Sounds like they are prepping everything to have a day with minimal work being done, again, people crying at work kind of stuff.

Sounds like very bad news, with major life changing impact on the workers.
