Did not see many people working in the office at the hub. Does HR, IT, and other employees have a hybrid schedule like claims employees? Or are they still able to work from home only?

Who will be giben the keys next. Going to be like GE - overheat the engine and the let the next deal with all if the business and talent issues

Do you honestly think SF will buy out the pension at some point? Or they will just buy out those with less than certain $ a month? I guess for many people the only reason to stay is the pension.

The new CHIP/CLIP systems being implemented in Claims are clunky, cumbersome, and have slowed down my ability to work efficiently. I don't believe it is a matter of adjusting and learning the new systems as some of the problems include; multiple... — read more 

Who else is waiting for the bonus to leave after that?

Discuss!

I enjoyed serving the veterans breakfast when we employed them. The smile on their face for just a thank you. The time we had could never be bought. Then, SF took that moment away from us due to cost while at the same time CEO gets 20 million dollar... — read more 

I've reached my last straw. First line Information Security management is a joke. Many second line "leaders" are equally bad. The majority of these so called "leaders" are not technical, do NOT understand their product team, nor have real Information... — read more 

So ole Tipsy had his quarterly Exec call today with leadership and normal typical BS. Let's sum it up for everyone: If you are in claims be prepared to come back in the office more...don't count on the WFH long term! I can't micro-manage you! (but... — read more 

Inflation rates have been announced and it is 6.2% higher than a year ago. That means if you make $100,00 and do not get a $6,200 raise, you are worse off than a year ago.

What is the % of leaders and % of high performers leaving. It seems to be an exodus. Is there no concern?

I am impressed with State Farm's handling of Aaron Rogers. Well done! Respect a differing opinion is a good neighbor.

Mutual Trust, integrity and quality relationships are three core values that State Farm was built on. Aaron Rodgers does not respect our values. He values himself. He lied about being vaccinated with air quotes saying he’s “immunized”. That truly... — read more 

With a white hot spotlight illuminating Rogers intentional deceit and deception along with purposely not complying with NFL Covid protocol around teammates, media and fans can Rogers remain the most well known SF spokesman?

Really Sh---y of State Farm to essentially put claims on 6 day work weeks during the holiday months. It really puts the cherry on top of a really sucky year. The least they could do is increase our pay to be more competitive with other companies in... — read more

My Lawyer says l have a good case for Title VII violation. What's funny is this is literally in the Law Dept. What a freak show!!!

It’s official. The claims department, as a whole, has failed. As a CS, every phone call I get is about a CA or new CS providing wrong information that is costing the customers money and time. The amount of incompetence is astonishing. The poor... — read more

I don't! It’s a good place only for those who have never worked for any other company so they can’t make a comparison. It's only bearable here for those who don't care about growing their careers. I hope to get another chance by the end of the... — read more 

I work at a competitor and I'm just curious. I know state farm is #1 in market share

Feel free to drop a funny/stupid quote you’ve heard from a SF TM over the years. Have fun… go!

I’ve heard that competitors generally give better pay and a better environment. So people are not exaggerating, the conditions are really better and it is really worth starting from the beginning? Once I made such a mistake when I moved here... — read more 

Thoughts on when the next layoffs round will take place?

A small monthly fee for representation, better benefits, and and most of all a better work environment is a small price to pay. It’s time.

Did anyone notice the deafening silence of SF plan to keep employees safe in the so called hybrid return to office? A website with rules is not even adequate. Just pretend it isn’t happening and maybe employees won’t notice when they get Covid and... — read more 

I was hired in the 80's, at a time when it was tough to find a job. If you landed a job with a company like SF you grabbed on with both hands. I had every intention to make SF a career, and most of us felt that way back then. The job was never... — read more 

If you are in a LOC… no way you will get promoted. If you are in a TWA or LDA you are only taking advantage of. They will use you until the day they decide they don’t need you.

I want to leave Claims and transfer into a completely department like ASR. Can anyone share insight on what it’s like there? Are they as stressed and squeezed as we are? This is not the company I used to enjoy working for.
