Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

State Farm will be the next Sears!

It is really sad to see the fall of what once was a great company. I use to be proud to work here and now, well it’s embarrassing.

I’m tired of being asked by family “why are rates always going up?”. Followed by why are you all spending so much money on commercials with athletes, reimagining the jingle, this thing called gamerhood and worst of all on agents that are pointless.

It’s hard to explain and defend, finally I just said go to Progressive we are f’d up. I see my own SF agent living large he has a new sports car, bought and runs a tennis club, became part owner of a brewery, has a lake house. With all that it’s no surprise he has no idea who we are or what needs we may have as his customer.

Executives leadership, such a joke! They are so busy st-----g each other’s egos they probably don’t even realize the ship is sinking.. They are all untrustworthy, egotistical, backstabbing passive aggressive individuals that think their sh-t doesn’t stink. It the public could see their IMs and emails, disgusting.

It’s time to resign. They think they are so good people shouldn’t even think about leaving. I wish for a huge staged walkout to teach them a lesson!

Sh1t , appropriate name by the way, it’s not policies it premium written. Who really cares if we are #2,3 or 4 in policy total? It’s premium volume that pays the bills. How much does progressive write in fire premium compared to SFs $31plus billion? I bet your SO is out ba----g college kids just like the famous Mr. Wormer you like to quote. What else ya got?

Rebadge everyone to HCL….. hahaha
Shouldn’t take much to see how much of a train wreck that place is. Might even be worse than SF. Oh wait, it sounds like it might be a tie.

@pp you must be one of the fu--ing clueless agents then. Progressive is eating our lunch; those 7 million policies they gained are more policies than SF practically wrote and out of all those millions we wrote we only grew a hair over 500K. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

Yea, probably not the next Sears. There is no Amazon coming along to eat our lunch. We have a frikking license to print money right now, rates have gone up 20% year after year after year. I’m an agent, no one calls to complain and if the do shop the soon find SF is still cheaper than most. I would retire but damn, the money is unbelievable.

If you are an undisclosed driver with Progressive think HS child they will deny the claim and cancel your policy.

ET is the ongoing weight around SF’s neck. Agree, leadership has been weak, but everyone below them has minimum talent.

Too many employees and not enough agents. If we reduce staff by 10000 employees we can reduce rates. Too be competitive we need to cut back to the bare minimum.

Nice try. But your family are not asking you these hypothetical questions. Because they are not disgruntled, useless employees so they don’t parrot that line of talk.

Let me help you understand. Underwriting is being automated. They are either going to outsource ILR/Express or AI will take most of it. 70%+ of employees in Auto or Fire have been here 2 years or less and have absolutely no clue what they are doing and frankly are a collections of fast food workers and amazon warehouse employees who do not have the bandwidth to do the job! The only people that keep SF afloat are the remaining tenured employees! Look at all the reassignments they just did, it was all the tenured employees to bail Exec out from this disaster. If and when Execs freeze the pension, all the tenured folks are bolting within 12 months, no reason to stay anymore. When this happens the titanic will sink like it hit 5 icebergs! It's coming but they have no clue and no plan for the disaster it will be!

@b8 Sees progressive rapidly grow. Progressive is hiring remote adjusters. Commenter promptly calls for ending remote work because remote workers are ki-ling the company. If you're in leadership here then this explains a lot.

There’s time to fix this mess. Starts with freezing the pension. Then full return to the office. No more hiding at home. Let remote workers go. Outsource engineering and utilize AI. We are falling behind in technology.
