Change Fatigue is Real - We just Don’t Care to change
I can’t believe the lolcow that is this executive leadership team. The email on change fatigue is the biggest joke in this company’s history. I think this is all intentional to force people out
Stop fighting each other
I'm tired of seeing coworkers turn on each other. We're all in the same boat. The company doesn't care about any of us, so why are we wasting our energy on each other?

Nothing to see here!!
This isn't "efficiency helping workers." It's using AI to shrink the human side of the business while squeezing the remaining people harder. Classic corporate playbook: Automate repetitive tasks → reduce headcount/support → demand more output from... — read more
Employee Benefits HR
Why does no one in our benefits know anything about our benefits since they closed the Operation Centers? Any time I call with a question they don't know. I want to retire at 55 and they can't tell me if I do if I can start withdrawals from 401 with... — read more

‘Strategy’ and Surveys
I love survey time of the month. It’s hilarious that the company asks us each and every month about how we feel about them. Do they take it seriously? Absolutely not. Do they use it to weed out people who come forward to section and claims... — read more
State Farm Leadership

CHANGE THE RETIREMENT POLICY
Allow employees to retire earlier penalty free. No exit package necessary.
Forced into Total Loss
Any others out there who was forced into Total Loss? Seems like there’s a new wave of people every couple of months. Total Loss is a nightmare. I absolutely hate it. So many people are either quitting or retiring once they hit the floor. So many of... — read more
Leadership distrust
Does anybody here trust this leadership? If the answer is yes, why? What have they done to warrant that trust? I can't think of a single thing.

Are we too toxic?
Been chatting with a recruiter friend who said he avoids former State Farm employees because too many are too toxic. I tried to get more out of him, what does that even mean, but he just shrugged and said that's his experience. What's that all... — read more
I really wish SF would stop hiring people who can't do the work
I would rather just stay understaffed than keep watching new people come in, fail to learn a single thing, and leave after a few months. Every time I end up explaining the exact same things over and over, doing their work and mine, and then starting... — read more
