Talented people are quitting left and right, pay isn’t even close to what it should be, and somehow we’re all supposed to do more with less. Even the tiniest tasks take forever, and the stress is constant. Clients are annoyed, everyone’s on edge, and some days it feels like we’re just trying to survive the chaos rather than actually get anything done.

@g9 Yes it was…. Started in the 90’s, this used to be a great place to work. Offices worked their own claims, helped each other, celebrated birthdays, had lunch and learns monthly, we were the best trained in the industry. It was not unusual for someone to get a call from another insurance co with a job offer during work hours. We need to get away from hiring to work in a hub. It is ki-ling SF.
It has become a complete joke. Everyday brings a new change and the employees are laughing their as--s off at the stupid management. Not one single change has made anything better or easier for the customer. It's only making employees jump through more hoops and accomplishing less work which in turn means less customer satisfaction. It's fu--ing hilariously.
You are living the MT's legacy! Remember crying MT? He kept saying we must prove this business model works. The company is full of black females with MBAs that believe their own hype, educate id--ts, beta males/process engineers and every form of preferred pronoun leader you can image. It just a microcosm of our nation and it is absolutely no secret why SF will not survive and has turned into a he-l hole. Look at any place where these types of people congregate in large numbers, LA, Baltimore, Dallas, Chicago, Portland, and New York, etc... they have turned once great places into complete and total sh-t holes and try to blame everyone else for the results of the policies and culture they lament.
What many people who sign up for SF don't do is check into the percentage of people who finish SF as a career and what percentage live over 3 years after retiring. Believe me....the numbers are very low. SF is no longer a career job. Never was really for most.
@az indeed ..filling out templates, clicking boxes, accessing your work a certain way... is now more important than the quality of the work or the service to the customer.
This post is spot on. IT'S EXHAUSTING. never seen such chaos.
American worker productivity and pay went up at the same rate until about 1972. Since then worker productivity is up 252% while worker pay is up 115%. So corporations have gotten more than twice the production for less than half the pay. They now call workers lazy for not wanting to keep this trend going. I just saw where Ford, Toyota and Mazda are charging people monthly subscriptions to access features like connecting your phone to technology offered on the vehicles they sell. The average new car is now over $50,000! Crazy! The greed, arrogance, and just complete disregard for the America worker is almost at the criminal level. SF is doing the same thing and as CS stated we now sell a product no one can afford. Companies used to believe in a reasonable profit but acknowledged their bigger responsibility to people and the prosperity of the nation. Unfortunately with $38 trillion dollars of national debt that will reach $50 trillion by 2032, the end is very near for our way of lie. Social Security will be insolvent in 6 years. It's not politics, it just math and we will keep printing money, doubling taxes on everyone and AI will slash more and more jobs. Please get your head out of the sand. In the next 5-7 years most of you will be unemployed and standing in line for maybe some kind of bread or soup ration. It's going to make the Great Depression look like a golden age. You were warned.
Many of us remember the utopia of when Ed Jr. ran the company. You felt like you were working for family. Them Tipsy got in, got his 22 million dollar bonuses ands started cutting. Progressive earned the number one spot. I retired years ago and am glad I did. Feel bad for those who are stuck. Don’t ever touch my pension.
I totally agree, SF is a he-l hole! What I don't understand is all the people I talk to that work at SF, feel the same way and still keep buying State Farm products. Why? Cancel your policies and go somewhere else. Talk with your feet and stop helping fund Exec bonuses and agency commissions. it's not like they are sharing with us. They send out the ohhh you are very lucky that we are going to spend $203 million on raises this year. The only problem is we are a $160 billion company. Our net worth is up almost $6 billion. They are sharing about .10% of SFs worth that with the employees. That is why we are all living paycheck to paycheck. Decent pay would give you options and would not keep you desperate and basically just a modern day slave. Yes other companies are even worse but still makes us the best house in the worst neighborhood. Stop funding the problem.
The future is bleak! We are like peasants waiting for the tractor to come!
Talented or not! No one is able to escape by quitting anymore! The new trend across USA is static team composition! Same or less pay, more work done with the help of AI, until some of us are laid off to replace woth new technology and skills
