They need to downsize on management. Cut down on the damn management and save money. I was there for 29 years before getting laid off in 2023. I was in Marketing and there was like 4 levels of management, why? You know I do not miss the corporate world at all. The micro-management, none of it. Yea, it went to cr-p after Ed Rust left.
Why doesn't everyone quit and just let the house of cards collapse?!
@q3 Yeah timing is everything, SF has been run into the ground after Rust. SF commercials are like watching a DEI play out, stupid and huge waste of $. Time to shutter some leased spaces in Georgia and Arizona, leave Dallas and HQ.. Good luck on 9/15, make it work for you, not them!
Already pressed the retirement button but still around, wondering if I can get a payout as well. I certainly would have waited if I knew this was coming
@mm Snapsheet's trash. They give a diffucult low estimate and then tell claims that anything else needs to be approved by you. No ETM and staff estimatics anywhere to be found, shops harrasing you saying Snapsheet su-ks, not going to talk to them anymore, Agents and their staff saying there's issues (all the time). Snapsheet when you call goes to a voicemail that cuts you off at 20 seconds. But you have su-k a SF customer's di-k if you answer a call from them in claims.
Idk how long y'all worked there but I left in July 2024. I was a total loss specialist and the team leads told their teams that express and auto ilr would be downsized. Ai was mentioned as a reason. If you don't believe this is related to AI you are dead wrong. Right in their website State Farm has a section boasting about their side venture investing in AI. They are snap sheets biggest investor. Snapsheet admittedly creates technology to simplify the claims process. I actually left State Farm when I got offered a job on a "brand new" total loss team at Snapsheet. The CEO got on camera during training and confessed their goal was to automate 50% of total loss claims. The even released a total loss package in recent months. I didn't last long at Snap Sheet. It was HORRIBLE. That's a whole other story. I used to call out SF and their evils ways on the regular. So many ppl literally got sick by being micromanaged. As a parent you couldnt change your schedule by 30 mins so you can get your kid from school and take them to extracurriculars but if you had any type of anxiety and you could get your doc to write you out for 3 months then come back to 0 inventory Or you could call out every Monday bc you had a migraine. It was insane. Then if you could actually manage 3 claims a day you couldn't work yours bc you had to do someone else's work too. I refused to follow that rule or even read the daily directional. You hired me to handle claims and manage my inventory. Trust me to do that. I have been handling claims for almost a decade. I don't need daily direction. Every day I thank god I got out of there when I did. It was a huge risk but it worked out.
@bk Wow! Well my daughter was blindsided by this yesterday and because of maternity leave during last year she doesn't qualify for sh*t. So maybe you don't know what is going on with all employees but as AI is taking over so many jobs maybe you will also see the frustration someday... but that is what the internet is for now- people to judge EVERYONE FOR EVERYTHING
@bk you can have it all, you’re the heir to this glimmering pile of sh-t
The amount of people on here who act like they have insider info is ridiculous. This was kept under wraps and anyone who actually knew anything prior to today isn’t risking their jobs to blab to anyone here on this site.
With how many of you who hate working at State Farm and talk about nothing other than how bad it is to work there, why are you STILL here bi--hing instead of celebrating today’s news? Take the voluntary option if it’s extended to you and leave already. There are plenty of people who want the job you bi--h and moan about - no one is forcing you to be here so either you’re too lazy or too incompetent to do something other than complain and sh-t all over everyone else.
Dangling another carrot. I call bullsh-t.
You'd think it would be offerd in every area to get rid of wfh employees.
This is just the first leg of the 3 year plan. When they get rid of people it will open up more seats in the hub cities to bring people back in at least 50% of the time. RTW baby!
This is what you should expect in 2026 also:
Benefits/medical will be cut and you will get less PTO
No more STD and Legacy PTO will be bought out. Sabaticals
No more tuition aid, no more insurance education
Big payscale changes and they will differentiate between departments
If they do not get enough people to leave or get too many people to select the Voluntary Severance it will move to other areas. This is the new plan forward as stated
ILR/Express going away and will be merged into other areas/Complex
Outsouring for most areas
Pension will be frozen and everyone will move to the current 401k plan match
U/W most of you are done! Sorry, you won't be able to survive in claims
Changes are coming for agency too - time they eat sh-t too like everyone else.
Reduction in employees will result in reduction in Exec leaders, CM, SM
The carnage and destruction will continue! You can expect something big each quarter for the next year! It is alllll your fault you useless employees!
@af so.... pensions went away for new employees over 4 years ago
@af what about AI taking out ILR and Express? They are part of claims and several thousand employees (cheap labor ones too) that can be promoted to the minimum salary of a Claim Specialist, and they are all in hubs already. Claims will be impacted 100%.
It will not impact claims just mostly underwriting and other areas that they are going to outsource. Claims just abuses it people, creates a he-l hole environment , and tries to force people out or ruin their health so bad they either die or stroke out....have a mental breakdown. Welcome to life as the #2 auto insurer! They have their excuse now...this is just the start. Wait until you see the compensation changes coming in 4th quarter, no more pension, benefits changing/more expensive, return to office and again this all is just the start of the collapse. Growth isn't going well! Going to be fun to watch all the carnage.
Maybe they can replace the inner city Jake with an example of someone that actually buys car insurance? The old Jake was more believed my most
It is a HR/policy update that got sent enterprise wide and is very poorly communicated (big surprise, not!) I did hear something about September but it impacted leadership thiat time, but never heard an official date.
I told you all a couple months ago that there was something big coming. I have inside information and don't just spout rumors. All departments will be impacted to some degree. Biggest hits will be ET and infoSec. Both those depts are led by buffoons who dont know how to lead anything. CISO totally inept and unqualified.
Is Information Security included?
@a3 only leadership knew about Sep 15 date
Heard not affecting claims sadly
I don’t get an email, but others in my group did. Does that mean I’m safe?
I got one looks like my entire impacted sad days
Where does it say Sept 15th date?
Yeah that email is so vague and I’m stressing out
