Get ready IT. Sounds like a soon to be unveiled master plan. If you thought ICP and jamming into OAB was bad. Thousands of consultants setting up camp in btowm was insane. Leaders running around talking gibberish was crazy. —- can’t even imagine what the next three years are going to be. I was told by my exec. - buckle up buttercup we got a new sheriff in town and we are all along for the ride.
The State Farm culture is gone, and it will never come back. It was lost in 2014 when I quote from a section manager. We are now going to be customer centric. Instead of employees centric, that was the end of State Farm.
The shitbag executives don't give a fu-k about the employees. Fu-k them all.
Dwight Schrute said, “Through concentration, I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will.” “Why would you want to raise your cholesterol?”, asked Jim.
“So that I can lower it”, retorted Dwight.
Likewise, exec needs to destroy the culture so they can improve it.
Ha. If you are talking about Innov G - expect to see more. Rats scurrying away from the fire.
@w0 last time there was a major director exit was when they started leaving because exec asked them to help with the HCL transition plans. Guess round 3 is coming soon
There is a large group of directors leaving ET and innovation. What is driving that? The ones I know are really really good.
nope....that day ended a long, long, long time ago.
State Farm is gone. Long gone. Call center cookie cutter world class sh*t!
@ep That’s odd, my claim load hasn’t been above 18 in fps In the past 9 months.
Agents need to go through what operations has seen.
State Farm growth is tanking. We haven't really grown any new policies since July. It's going to get a lot worse. We are too expensive and can't afford to pay agents commission anymore since they account for about 30% of our expense ratio. People are not buying houses or new cars and putting their groceries on their credit cards. Broke. Plus our brand su-ks! Our current round of Execs are wannabes! They are only interested in profits over people. Nothing else as they despise employees and see you as a burden. Greed, incompetence, and unethical leadership defines this organization now and the culture that MT brought in is just a cancer that is slowly ki-ling the patient. In the next 5-10 years SF will become just a shell of itself and a story of what not to do in business. Place is and will always be a sh-t hole.
@c7 Preach!
SF wil never go back to what once made them great unless they dump the all about me and it's business decision attitude. SF has lost its way by thinking cheap labor can take the place of labor that once believed wholeheartedly in the mission and vision. Claims inventories have skyrocketed to unmanageable levels. Putting fires out and stress levels always peaking making it a very unhealthy environment. The workforce is at the margin not believing in the mission making the wor not worth the effort. Burnout comes faster and faster. Good leaders adapt and change process to avoid burnout. Unfortunately SF leadership focuses on numbers and not process to increase and not decrease burnout.
FOCUS ON THE EMPLOYEE AND THE PRODUCT WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.
Leadership has failed miserably since the 1990s to address this issue. If they continue, their business will eventually tank and they will be left holding the shovel.
Pension boy please find somewhere else to go play!
With the pension being reinstated that will be a great start. Bringing back COLA would do wonders for morale
Culture=Pension?
I don't think its possible because of questionable internal promotion practices in ET and people taking advantage of contractors and talented mid level engineers to finish tasks.
It causes people to not want to put in effort, why should they ? when they're in the bottom pay grade and contribute to changes that actually deliver impact?
So the leadership continues being unskilled and the culture is nepotism instead of innovation.
When you exclude basically 70% of the population in your hiring practices and locate people in Phoenix, Dallas and Atlanta the answer is no. It takes on the characteristics of the dominate culture and people they are being hiring into the company. Nose rings, purple hair, neck tattoos, weed smell, pajama bottoms, 2040 workforce..... SF is a sh-t hole just like the rest of our nation. Future is not bright!
