So our TM told us today to expect a survey in the next couple of days about our interest in moving to Proximity. Said they're hiring over 600 CS jobs and over 80 Team Manager jobs in field locations all over the US. They said it was staffing neutral and if they do not get enough people they will hire from the outside. That means probably some buyout opportunities coming that way for Fire company. There will not be a lot of takers for the Proximity jobs! They will have to shed at least 300-400 Claims specialist and 40-50 Team Managers to keep it staffing neutral. With the new SFPSP program coming in and more AI, most in Fire company are done. Better get your self ready!

@pr ironically they sound like they’re probably actually the best ones, fool
@p8 - Poindexter, Becky and Skippy aren't worth a damn either.
Yes SF hired a 2040 McBurger Workforce in Dallas, Phoenix and Atlanta, that don't even know how to change the battery in their smoke detectors or put air in their tires much less argue with a contractor about, roofs, drywall, structural damages, or water mitigation. Quantrell , Cinnamon and Laquifah are not the answer! SF you get what you pay for!
Seems like something about HO Fire hasn’t been working well because almost all of the complaints people have about SF on Twitter have to do with their HO claims. They probably have to pivot a little.
Dang.. 46 total openings for Proximity TM’s. Y’all office folks are toast…
Actually it will be in most situations if not all situations. AI is now even more accurate examining medical scans/MRIs than human doctors. Even according to critics, AI will surpass human intelligence by 2027. When it is integrated with Quantum computing it will be thousands of times smarter than any human. Robotics and AI will be able to do anything we can and will do it better.
They will understand eventually no machine will ever replace humanity.
@h4 spot on!
@gm I was a proximity adjuster. I saw the push with the new PSP program. I know about the AI integration. If the higher ups cared they would stop telling adjusters to use these things despite how bad they are. Instead we were told that if we did not use them we would be reprimanded. The only thing that will guarantee job security is the turnover. If you are willing to eat sh-t every day and be miserable, you can keep your job. But the turnover should let you know how many people are willing to do that. Most proximity adjusters I talked to did not like the job.
@bq in 10 years over half of the current non cat prox adjustors will be retired. And the PSP program has been around for 10 years and works ...meh...at best. Not enough contractors in most markets and the contractors have a difficult time keeping up with the work.
Be careful what you ask for! Especially with politicians!
Glad I don't carry SF on my house.
Also funny to see some of my teammates talked about posting....I'm dying laughing. Most can't write an estimate now and hardly make it out of bed to come to work. They think they are going climb a roof or handle a total house fire claim. Most are so stupid and lazy they are on the verge of getting fired. Always having to get peer assist with their inventories. They are probably going to move the in-office problems to the field! State Farm still doesn't understand you can't hire a 2040 Burger King workforce and have any kind of quality customer service.
You weren’t kidding. They posted 15 Proximity TM openings today…
For those who think proximity will provide more job security, remember that they have been investing in AI and this new SFPSP program. You will need fewer adjusters if contractors are writing scopes that you just need to review and approve. They are also feeding your file notes, scopes, and documentation to have programs learn repair scopes. Xactimate is piloting programs that write repair estimates from photos alone. They are sending people to the field but do I would not expect them to need all these adjusters in 5-10 years.
