I've been a Team Manager in claims with State Farm for over 30 years. I'm retiring this year after I get my MIP. Honestly feel sooooo sorry for everyone that has to stay. There have always been periods of ups and downs at SF. These last 10 years and especially this year have been an absolute nightmare. When I got promoted to TM in 1997, my boss told me to be sure to leave SF better than I found it. I tried my best but failed. The people running State Farm are absolute parasites, make no mistakes about it. To all employees, leave this place before it drains your soul, and damages your mental and physical health beyond repair. This place is just not worth it. Not saying the grass is greener on the other side but at least see if it is. The Executive leadership you have is exploiting you for only their gain, have destroyed any ounce of decency left at State Farm and are just pure clueless sc-m bags. All they want is conformity, not your opinion. All the Peakon, Voice and View, Skip Level Meetings cr-p are all just the same smoke and mirrors that the politicians use to steal you blind. It's not your TMs fault, but there are TMs that are bad and make it even worse as they drink the Kool Aid. There are still a few decent TMs/SMs that try to do the right thing but if they get caught doing it they get punished. State Farm is a sinking ship, that they crashed, and now the Captain and other officers are stepping over the elderly, women and children to save themselves and kicking people off the life boats. I get you need to pay the bills, but find a way out sooner than later. This get's a lot worse and does every day. I almost feel dirty everyday I have to work at this place, and you know deep down what this company is doing is just wrong at every level. Get out, just get out, Sorry, hope that helps some of you decide.

I wonder how many disgruntled employees will deliberately sc--w up their work, set out long calendars, pay stuff they shouldn't, or just quit working, before their exit. Going to be a mess for those left.
State Farm is king of the Slido Questions....pre-screen everything and control the narrative/lies at all costs. When companies like SF do collapse, it's usually pretty dramatic. I keep waiting from Progressive to purchase Geico or Allstate and then that will be all she wrote. I would not be surprised to see us demutualize at some point when the fall gets real bad and they cash out, leave everyone else floundering. I don't put anything past these total sh-t bags!
Movie Margin Call = State Farm.
Don't sweat state farm. There will be a whistleblower or a mole that will expose their reality. If they paid as much as they did for RICO just imagine what they are doing and haven't been caught yet. Thank God no more free socialist government money. Just wait a time with patience. None of them are so good they won't get caught.
Remember this: The day you stop doing other people's work is te day they will make life miserable for you and ride you out the door. That is how the bas tards work. That is the way they get more out of you than expected and give you an expected level rating. Another way mgmt scra rews workers. Theyre unethical.
The quicker this place falls to #2 and #3 the better off everyone will be. SF just needs to accept its faith for what it is. Maybe then some sanity will return with this place. They need to shut down these hub locations ASAP and start hiring in normal parts and cities of the country again. The 2040 workforce is not a plan for success. When you basically exclude 70% of the population in your hiring practices you have over rotated. The people you are hiring do not share the same morals, ethics and values you need to run half way successful company. Pupply mill business model does not work.
Tiny Tippy is funny. 5 foot 2 you know he’s got insecurity issues ands he will take it out on you
Agree.....Hard to look at Little "just the tip" Tipsord up there preaching anything to anyone. He should just quit out of our embarrassment. His dad is basically a criminal!
Uggh. Painful to listen to lil tip. Papa was not a nice man but at least hadborinal thoughts. It is like watching a robot regurgitate lines that were planted in his brain. Could not be more obvious that a deal was made to keep tracking him upwards.
Fu-k State Farm
And it just went up another $13.4 billion from this time last year. LOL! Criminals!
@ak they are 150 billion worthless piles of sh*t!
Yes it is all smoke and mirrors at State Farm. Remember this "World Class" BS is a joke. We hire nothing but rejects, even at that ,they are not trained and at the end of the day no insurance company maintains market leadership by people having claims. Every 6 months there is some new "program" or slogan ran out by Executive that is going to save us all. They change direction like the wind blows.... Complete and total disaster. Place is a dumpster fire!
The execs want the policy holders to leave. They want tenured employees gone. They want that $150 billion that is just sitting in reserves all to themselves. State Farm is their little piggy bank and you aren’t getting any.
