Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

How much did those shiny new HUBS cost again? When we could’ve WFH the entire time. It wasn’t that long ago that old Tipsy pulled everyone back in the office. Save money, save money then low it all. It’s the SF way.

You mean a ceo who who takes more credit than he deserves and pats himself on the back at every turn ? The self-anointed “problem solver”? Most of the employees are shielded from knowing about the everyday hiccups that are ongoing , some little frustrations, some major issues. No one has the intestinal fortitude to tell the emperor he has no clothes.

State Farm is a cautious company that follows other companies. Sometimes it takes a bit of force to get the big dog off the porch. However, not everything the company does is wrong.
Sure State Farm could act better. The company could have leadership that understands that State Farm is about trying to do the right thing for all customers. The company could treat claims as claims and not widgets. The company can be more tolerant towards transgender and gender fluid people by providing gender neutral restrooms in all areas of the business. The company could focus on hiring quality employees instead of hiring people solely based on superficial characteristics. The company could also apply its internal policies equally to all its employees.
I am not sure about all areas within State Farm, but I do know that Allstate is laying off people as a result of COVID-19. While State Farm has forced competent and quality employees out of work in the past, I think State Farm’s handling of the COVID - 19 pandemic is better than most large companies because the company is not currently laying off people and seems to be trying to retain its employees.
TLDR: I think State Farm is doing a decent job of taking care of its employees throughout this pandemic compared to other large companies.

To help mitigate potential lawsuits

Crossed a line? Typical bullsh*t! It's ok for them to disrupt life forcing people to leave their family, move to areas that have questionable labor laws, be involved in RICO lawsuit, and so on. Any you say crossed the line to anonymous opinions? Maybe you run your operation under the chinese communist party. Not here! This is America! Let people speak.

The President called-said you need to get to work. Nothing to worry about. He has this under control.

Sounds great for all the people who work in offices....as proximity and deployed reps are still traveling, working in the field and putting themselves in harm's way with NO PPE!!!

SF is playing the nice guy when everyone is negative.

Dont TRUST them - they will s— you dry and hit your from the backside when this is over.

When any company violates it's own mission and vision statement to the demise of its employees, darn right they can cross the line. They have that right to cross the line. Dont be a wise guy and take their rights away from them. Just ask those people in history who tried to cross the line and take our rights. Didn't turn out to well. More tough guys behind a computer that have never done a days work in their life.

yeah they hid the fact someone in our complex was sick for a week, made thousands be exposed to that person for a week then send everyone home at the end of said week , then a week later confirmed that person was indeed tested positive, since all are at home they dont care and can wash their hands off their responsibility

NeFX.....someone always has to inject race...it never fails

OP. You forget the hurt they placed on a lot of people and it will take a lot of time to heal that hurt. The hurt is like a spouse that cheats and divorce. People have feelings albeit let them vent since it is part of the healing process. Remember it will take time and serious good faith efforts to embrace promises to make things better.

Be grateful for jobs. They Do devalue and dehumanize folks and then automate it all with bad screwed up data and hand it to foreign countries and share it with third parties to manage and use to market and label new and existing customers. Sick world. The snowflakes in management that get big bonuses will be happy. Their partnerships and systems are not all as honorable as they let on. But real work is not what those folks do. Keep up the hard work and be above that rhetoric. Be grateful for jobs. Many don’t have.

1isn+14fPNeFX- nice try my guy, I have served in the military. I have served all around the world in terrible places. I have real world perspective, you know worked other places outside of State Farm. The Illinois Operations Center is trash, compare it to any other building that State Farm has. I get it bro, your family got you a good paying job...

Finally someone gets it. Someone realizes the tremendous sacrifices that I and my Executive underlings make for you. When I get your name rest assured you will be in line for a promotion and raise. Bravo, we need more like you at State Farm.

As for the rest of you people when will you appreciate the food I put on your tables, the roofs I place over your heads, and the health care I provide when you and your disease-ridden families get sick?

When you go into a site called "The Layoff", it generally isn't going to be a happy place. There are a lot of valid reasons for people to have a lesser opinion of the farm than you. You may not want to call it that, but there have been one or two layoffs the past few years. And a constant turnover in all facilities the past few years.
You should create a site, call it Happy State Farmers, and pat each other on the backs continually about what a great job the you, PR, HR and the supreme leaders are doing.

Corporate Stooges! You have sold your souls for $$$. Shame on you. I know u r just doing doing your job protecting ur master like a good lap dog but understand. We on the frontline have not sold out. One of the best outcomes of all the changes is rhe realization that this is not a family. We mean nothing to you which means the company means nothing to us. You wanted it you got it no loyalty. Now we need to teach you and it wont be "sit or bwg". We the factory workers are the company not you. UNION NOW! UNION NOW! UNION NOW!

If you think the Illinois OC Center is “ghetto” you are at best a spoiled brat and at worst a racist. You obviously have never served in the military, worked in a manufacturing plant, done social work in an urban community, worked in a hospital. Your attitude would be pitiful if if it wasn’t so insulting to millions of hard working Americans.

“Gleaming office building “... bro have you even been to the Illinois Operations Center ? That place is as ghetto as it gets. I can tell you aren’t in a production type of environment with any type of claim inventory, that support job you have sure must be super nice to have. I thought all you kool-aid drinkers left the company, but I get it, your job at corporate is a nice gig.

Well said!
