Working fully remote from home. Probably won't retire till 65 or more. Too much of a gravy train to give up.

I dont get the guy who makes posts and threads like this....like your blowing your cover that you dont actually work for state farm.
Not a single role can get away with not working, not even managers....theres too much software tracking and requirements to prove you did the work.
Legit youll go a day or two without working and your manager will be video calling you.
There was one guy on our claims team that got canned for shorting work, like doing the work but not well or completely and then pushing what he could to others. #1 he was flagged in system for inactive time. #2 other workers complained they had to do his work #3 manager took one look at the reports and he was gone on friday.
Yeah our id--t executives want everyone in office, and yes, theyll keep gaslighting that its best for all, despite the massive company cost and how upset everyone will be. They dont care. Remember the goal is less workers, not be a good insurance company, have less people is the goal.
Awaiting our EF department meeting for the grand unveil of strategy from JP. Lowering my expectations as all I hear is lots of consultant speak and very little new stuff. Amazing how tired the stories if Taco Bell have already become. Hoping it is an announcement of 4 day work weeks and remote but likely a big nothing burger - just rehashed icp 2.0 with less talented execs.
@a7 I agree remote will eventually end but with that a MASSIVE loss of knowledge. They don’t even know what they don’t know in upper levels of claims leadership and are NOT willing to listen to anyone outside their group think tank. It’s a sad state of affairs. They need us in remote….until they don’t.
The same persons been posting this type of thread since COVID. I think its a deranged ex-agent who was probably let go.
Either way, if anyone is here and does work for SF, there is zero chance you go more than one or two days without doing work before someone notices, writes you up, and fires you.
For christ sake they know if your hand is on your mouse or not, and im not kidding. They know everything your doing.
I still cant get over the person who made this thread doesnt know we have metrics which are almost 100% centered around how much work you do and how fast you do it.
Insane to think anyones gotten a gravy train free ride due to WFH...like tell me youve not worked at this company at least 10 years.......because you post like it...always....
if they do try additional in office, theyll just lose a big portion of hub people to other companies offering full time remote roles, im actually prepping this myself. I know they want less employees to have to pay and all, but theyve had staffing issues the last 15 years and are about to get worse.
This guy has been posting like this since 2020. Im not sure if its a bot or not but they pretty much post in the same style across all thread, and accounts for a big portion of replies. Im pretty sure its an engagement bot.
So weird seeing all these comments from various dept. Like it's the entire company. Guess what folks, state farm isn't all claims. ET and IS are much better areas to work in. Even in those dept. We don't have the same rules. While your dept. May be going back in office it doesn't mean everyone else's is. I personally don't care one way or another.
@141 didnt take very long to make them remote. Just reverse engineer.
I doubt that they can get rid of fully remote by September. Keep riding.
Remote is fully phased out by September 2026. Your gravy train is ending.
WFH home ending here in a few days.
they'll find you hun
What exactly do you do that you feel you're on a gravy train? You're not in claims I know that much.
I have another decade of slugging off while we promise an Integrated customer platform.
Enjoy it while you can! State Farm is preparing to eliminate as many non-hub/remote jobs as possible. 2026..... you will mostly be safe but 2027 is a completely different story. The endless supply of the unemployed will start doubling year after year! They will replace everyone every 3-4 years. No one is really safe.
