I just got reassigned to be a Fire Claim Rep along with several of my peers from other areas. I have never handled Fire Claims before and was recently on a conference call and looked at all the people they moved. I noticed we were all very tenured reps with A, B,C, D, G + alias. I heard they did the same things with the Team Managers. Obvious they are trying to run off the tenured employees that have lots of PTO and are still eligible for a pension. 100% age discrimination and just super sh-tty they treat long term employees like this because this department is a disaster and everyone is trying to get out. Instead of the doing the right thing and just giving us severance to leave, they are doing the staged force out. I hope all the Execs doing this rot in h-ll! I'm looking for another job ASAP!

Back during the 2018 transition, I had a discussion with a Claims Section Manager I was close to. Among the other details of the transition, if you were 55+, you had the option of "early retirement". His opinion was this was purely age discrimination but there was nothing anyone could do about it.
There are still A and B employees? Yikes!!!
@km
For the chefs kiss...definitely soil yourself as you fade in and out of consciousness after the injury. Your attorney will thank you later. Always move in silence.
Work is a dangerous place. Wet floors, loose tiles, holes in parking lots, the list is endless. Workman's comp pays until full age of SS kicks in. Numerous YT channels on SSDI, workman's comp and SS in regards to what and when can be drawn also when they can be drawn together. SF thinks these games are funny show them some other fun games to play. Don't be a combative employee be a toxic one. They should appreciate similar behaviors.
The worst thing about SF is that it is a mutual company and there really is nobody to hold the Executives accountable for their actions. A Mutual Company works when the Executives are in it for the mutual benefit of the policyholders and employees. When you get incompetent and immoral leaders in place (MT, JF, CS, KC) like we have now, they can abuse the system. They fleece the policyholders and employees out of every penny they can to enrich themselves. Shareholders are not much better but they usually demand a level of competence that we do not have. They pay severance to get people to leave instead of the games, usually are more open about what is coming and doing layoffs. They make changes when stuff does not work. Shareholders would fire all these incompetent goons and get away from the useless agency model. We have been hiding for a long time behind the SF Mutual Company and MK getting called in front of a congressional panel recently actually scared the sh-t of some Execs because they saw the possibility of getting found out. It will catch them....they are all crooks!
One of the absolute worst employees that came to ET was a tenured employee who was a minority. I got borderline harassed by this inexperienced individual with apparently 17 years of experience. The worst part was all the gaslighting and blaming everyone else except herself and not even working independently to some capacity as an experienced software engineer. I left the team and since then it has been like Hawaii with a lot of relief and mental clarity. I should sue this person for ruining my career and my promotion opportunity but managers are also trash in not conducting interviews properly or even putting me on a panel while hiring someone to work on an effort that i primarily lead in.
Definitely don't just quit, better take advantage of the FMLA and the STD while you still have that benefit. They are getting super bold these days and make no bones about trying to run people off that do not drink the Kool Aid.
Don't quit. Go thru training and then out on the floor. Then go on med leave. Come back do a half a-s job. Go back out on medical leave. Repeat. You can get another couple of years out of them. Ask around and learn to play the game. Also look into filing a law suit against SF. Don't let them run you off. Don't let them win.
Please please file a law suit. To the person that already is ask your attorney about a possible class action against SF for thebtreatment of employees. Please share anything you find out.
Go see an attorney. I was forced out recently on bogus issues and went immediately to an attorney. we are working on a lawsuit right now which will soon make it to state farm. my attorney said they are seeing more and more of this from sf and sf will have a reckoning soon.
I'm in the same boat and they moved me from SIU. I was told you have to move or you are effectively resigning from your job. I got 3 days notice on the job change and have worked here over 30 years. Agreed, they are just hoping we quit so they do not have to pay us severance or contribute any more to the pension. I'm going to get through training then go out of FMLA or STD and find another job. This is the 3rd time they have done something like this to me. I'm over SF and these people are just purely evil and eat up with d-mbarsss. Go to h-ll SF!
