Five years of micromanaging, angry clients, and being treated like a kid. I finally hit the point where I said no more. Scariest move of my life but now I sleep through the night.

@br You can take the 75% option (for a reduced pension payment) and your spouse would still get 75% of the pension payment if you die first.
@br this nepotism based and promotion based on opening the mouth is a massive problem in statefarm. Some really misuse it by gaslighting and forcing others to show them how to do things and capable mid-level engineers burnout. They even take advantage of offshore talent that actually have experience and even they burnout and move on with bad experiences.
No wonder tech here has a bad reputation, people just talk and steal credit for promotions. Usually a manager catches this behavior earlier and PIPs them but these are internally promoted hire that even managers don't want to get blamed for hiring poor talent. We just wasted away all the budget on this and now everyone gets equally affected by layoffs.
I’m taking voluntary, already plan without pension plus when you die basically pension worthless for my family. Place has become to toxic. Too many people promoted for nepotism wrong skill sets. Recipe for disaster promoting because of who your parents were.
@b9 about average salary in et when I was sent to HCl.
I was also abused by incapable claims specialists promoted to ET taking credit for my work. Nowadays i just milk it for the pension and focus on my side business. Why should I contribute for someone else's promotion?
@b1 $70k pension? That means you’re making mid 100s then right?
Never. I have a $70,000 pension waiting for me in five years. Thanks policy holders. Those rate increases will cover my travel abroad
