That should be SF's new motto, I've been here 25 years and I have not seen one single thing in the last decade that has made anything better for the employee or the customer. How the h-ll is that even possible? How incompetent and crooked do you have to be to literally f-ck up everything. Claims, Underwriting, Estimates, TL, Fire Co. etc.... Ohh wait I found something that has probably gotten better, Agency compensation and the $22 & $24 million dollar bonuses for the the Execs. Every role out is awful, the tech su-ks, people they are hiring get worse, training is awful, pay/benefits are not getting better and appears they are going to be taking that away too. I amazed everyday I come into this place that we can even keep the lights on, I have a feeling once they have completely gutted all the talent it will start spiraling down faster. Never forget the last ditch effort will be to take SF to a stock company. The Execs will cash out with stock options then and leave it for the investors to hack through!

And it gets worse everyday. Constant emails changing and adding to our handling. Threatening emails of do this or else. Impossible to meet metrics. Extreme micromanagement from phone calls to work. Constant changes from some id--t that doesn't even know the job or what the changes affect. Most SM have no clue about the area they are in charge of and above them know even less than that but are calling the shots. No wonder we are failing as a company. Micromanaging TM, CS, and CA. TM's are checked out and sick of the sh-t show. Lowering the hamer screaming do more do more. It's quite comical really. The employees did not create this mess. They are trying to run off employees and pay no severence. And it's working. Good luck to them when they lose too many employees.
@bb its constructive discharge. Class action and media involvement is merited.
SF has about a $140 billion dollar cash pile, a brand and infrascuture..... working there is worthless, the leadership is worthless, the environment is horrible. But you know that, you are just a troll. And yes they could give themselves stock options, the board would have to vote to demutualize the company. The share holders could elect a new board but that would probably not happen for a while and yes they could give themselves stock options if the board voted on it. Get a clue!
@b0 First, it’s not easy to demutualuze. But IF they wanted to, and IF everything you people say is true…….the company is worthless, which would show up in all the SEC filings for IPO, and it would blow up in their faces.
“They” also can’t give themselves stock options until there’s stock….st which point “they” would no longer have the ability to keep themselves on, much less issue themselves stock options.
Get a clue.
The budget, losing are #1 spot in Auto, releasing externals, pushing to get off TP2 regardless of quality or risks…. they have created a dumpster fire 🔥
Yes, the Execs have basically threatened everyone from CM down with their jobs unless CM, SM, and TMs lower the bo-m on employees. They call it the accountability cycle. It's basically just a way to get rid of people and reduce expenses and hide it behind some new slogan. Tell us we can compete based on how good our service is. LOL! Complete joke! Price is the only thing that matters and since we can't do that, they use propaganda and slight of hand to hide what they are doing/get their bonuses. For those of us that have been here for awhile they do this when we have huge losses and they have to recover. They pivot to "its all about quality and service"...in 2-3 years it will be price, price price again, f-ck service! These people are scam artists!
Everyday is a sh-t show. Changes are constant making it hard to keep up with everything. Additional workload distributed inventory from someone that quit and had no clue how to do their job. Constant management meetings and changes rolling out. Moving people to different departments with very little notice, even if they have no experience for the new position or desire for it. One stand out to me is the fact that the management has no respect for the employees with defamatory remarks and accusations of wrong doing. Every email we get for new direction has a threatening tone or condentation.
I think you might be on to something. When I saw the last survey, it feels like they are trimming away so much fat they could be getting ready to put it up for sale. It fixes a lot of problems and can make a lot of Executives really rich, really quick if they give themselves stock options. It would take some time for shareholders to open the hood and see what's been going on and fire all of them, but it would be an easy out. They could use the money to buy someone else, issue stock/bonds to raise capital. Makes sense because the direction they are heading that may be their only option. It's going to keep getting worse, hold on!
The results of the 2040 workforce.....just sayin!
I can agree that they people they hire su-ks. They promoted a claims agent to ET that know absolutely nothing and the managements solution was to use an experienced engineer 2 to show them everything. What makes you think i'm going to do that for free without even ans additional compensation?
The clown literally destroyed the team by gaslighting people to help him finish tasks. I will agree that the clowns are good at talking to save themselves and this is a common trait in statefarm.
I am a retiree of SF. I was always taught that when you do a job always leave it better for the next guy who has to fix it. SF, I am sorry to say, is an utter and complete failure in this regard. What was once the greatest company who cared for its employees is now a complete failure and it is all because of leadership. They have willfully and wantonly made the employees their last concern but cutting benefits. The benefits were the only thing that kept the company respectful for both the employee and the customer. Today leadership has cut the benefits and kept pay the same which in operations is the minimum to keep an apartment on the bad side of town. This attracts substandard employees. They continue to fuel the six and 7 digit employees without taking into consideration it is the worker bees who keep the promise. The six and seven digit employees are not as tough as their talk. They are wannabe tough guys and it isn't until the worker bees challenge them, they will continue to su-k the honey and the life right out of you. I ran into one of them the other day and gave him/her a piece of my mind. You should have seen their face. I also told an agent who cried knowing very well what I have said is the truth for the benefit of all not just a few. My conversations were factual and not confrontational. Thery knew I was right and agreed.
