Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Anyone remember this!

Looks like they were pretty spot on, just delayed due to COVID.

Giving you a heads up
Sept 1-most Prof/Tech and Para's will start re-entering the building. Leadership will have been transitioning into the buildings starting July 12. Now leaders can meet in person to discuss the following!

November - TMs will start meeting with employees to discuss the new Future State Operating models- Fire re-org, HRU, Stewardship, Prox....Team Lead structure U/W, Auto/FIre, a lot less TM's-only in the specialized areas, no ratings for employees, like TMs are today, with just a percentage/EIP. Levels of leadership will start getting cut and there will be more targeted transitions for tenured TMs, SMs, and CMs. Most CMs and SMs jobs are gone. AFS and Sales Leaders jobs are basically going away too. Korn Ferry will be utilized to determine who stays and go! Estimatics is done and so are most of Prox-outsourced to third party vendors-transition plans will be offered or more reassignments.
January 1, 2022- Pension buy-out offers are coming and employees will get heads up. Take it, trust me! There will be some decent incentives, bridging, time service etc...will be your last chance. Will be tied to staying around a certain period of time depending on local/Hub/LOC/job function/level. Agents will start all selling Gainsco ins too!

What's left-over-2nd Quarter 2022 LOC will find out their final faiths-depend on how quickly they can be replaced in hub cities/need. Also job class changes coming for U/W and Claims across all levels. No more $90K Auto/Fire Underwriters or Claim Reps in Prop-Complex and/or TM's for $130K a year to clear task, review a letter or review a file! TL will handle for $50-$60! CCC consolidation etc....

3rd Quarter 2022- 100 years now and changes to agency contract. More bots to automate away a lot of easy claims functions and U/W is going to start getting a lot more automation-ST to ST transfers, all added cars, all new business, automation of RAS/non-renewals and sunsetting the error based processing system. Target number of 40,000 employees by end of 2022, down from our current 57,500 approx. today! 25% reduction overall, target has been around 10% a year give or take a few percentages/turnover.

Pucker up ladies, gents, transitioning....!!!! It's amazing what things are left unprotected on SharePoints sites if you know where to look! You haven't seen sh-t yet!

@ck economy is headed down. Highest grocery prices, diseases highest in 33 years, no one can afford a home or car, inflation increasing, tariffs representing the greatest tax increase on Americans in history. Unemployment increasing and labor,participation dropping like a rock. Guess insurance is heading up?

It wasn't Covid that delayed this it was The Great Resignation. Focus had to switch to employee retention.

This is a total fantasy by the OP. There would be 2 maybe 3 people with this knowledge a peon on this site is not one of them.

This is long, long, long overdue at SF. I'm glad to see both agency and operations being reorganized. I am proud of the ones to have made it to the finish line. The others there is plenty of opportunity elsewhere. It's time one of the biggest household costs gets addressed. Too many overpaid VP's, CM's, SM's, and TM's that are way overpaid do nothings.

I've been saying this is the exact same move they tried back then. Now that the person settled at the top is nestled in the board seat rather than the hot seat he can comfortably move it forward. The part no one is talking about is AI and the 80% automation by a certain date...Surprised there are no whistle-blowers when they are actually testing the system in claims. One less job opportunity for your children. All the doors that have closed now will NOT reopen.
