Time to shut ILR down

It’s beyond time to get rid of ILR. They can’t tell their head from their a-s and actively avoid work without any consequence from management. ILR brings absolutely no value to the organization. I mean come on… you’re a licensed adjuster but reassign... — read more

Interesting. A Company "cares" about emplyees?

I find it interesting that people believe a company "cares about its employees". Even companies that have a good reputation as rated by their employees, would lay-off, fire, implement programs to increase employee productivity, etc, if needed to... — read more

Some Info sec managers are id--ts

Omicron?

Is SF going to update their hybrid policy? Covid #s are rising. I have spoken to several co-workers and all of us are a little uneasy about Omicron. I hope vaccines (no offense to anyone who isn’t, I support freedom of choice) help to only get mildly... — read more 

Leadership courage

The disconnect between employees and managers above SMS is due to the lack of leadership courage which was even removed from the list of treats a manager should possess. Many SMs where pushed into early retirement because they were showing leadership... — read more 

The Law Department and COVID

The law department is being the most aggressive when it comes to returning to the office. And now people are leaving work with COVID in big numbers and apparently they are WAY behind on telling people they were exposed. What a weird way to care... — read more

Belittling someone else's work

When someone else does the work, it can always be done faster and better, right? I give up because I absolutely do not want to keep explaining anymore that things take time and it is impossible to do it faster if you want to do it well. Next week... — read more

Does anyone care about the future of this company?

Everyone pretends to be great managers and leaders while SF is just sinking more and more. It is impossible not to see that the path that SF is taking is wrong, however, everyone is silent about it, getting paid for a job that no one is doing. It... — read more 

Keep quiet

Keep quiet and don’t ruffle feathers - like a good neighbor! That should be our motto. Every leader at every level knows bad stuff is happening but nobody has the leadership courage to stop it. Leaders know ILR folks are just being abused daily. No... — read more

Taking a day off

Define overwork?

What I’ve noticed is that 'overwork' of people who constantly complain involves maybe 50% of the work of employees who don’t complain. I would rather say that the problem is low morale and lack of motivation, which makes any job more difficult and... — read more

Can someone explain to me why SF is not on the Stock exchange? I know for a damn fact if it was, these shenanigans wouldn't be happening!! Is there a good reason why it's not publicly traded?

How bad does it have to get before the DOI gets involved?

If SF was an NCAA program they’d be investigated for Lack of Institutional Control. Claim handling is incompetent to the point where DOI needs to look. 3 out of 4 claims require re-work. Good is now the claim where we only correct misinformation... — read more

Seriously, now is the time to leave

I was a 20+ year high performer at the farm. I loved most of my career. However, the last three years or so we’re just stupid. I could see that it was never going to improve; in fact, things were more than likely going to go downhill. My last straw... — read more

Can’t wait!

Can’t wait to quit. Every minute I have free out of my day is spent looking for another job. SF is a dead end road if you are in claims.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my State Farm co-workers. We all know the company is jaded. But I wish everyone a safe family filled much needed time off.

ET and Information Security Talent Exodus

Do ET or Security leadership have concerns about the talent exodus in their departments or not care? The people leaving are skilled experts that the company should retain and more talented than their “leaders” as a bonus.

Cheap workforce can't fix it

I’m not saying that there aren’t great talented individuals among the cheaper employees, however, generally speaking, the problem is that SF's priority has become a cheap workforce and not a competent one. I guess the leadership thinks that cheap... — read more

Reflecting

What would it take for you to stay working here after the bonus? - I asked myself. More money?… That would be nice but unless the raise is above 10% it will not be worthy. Let’s be honest; that will not happen unless they pull their heads out of the... — read more
