Farney is full of Blarney

Many of us who have been around for a minute remember how universally Tipsord wasn’t liked. Dude had the bedside manner of Dr House.

But many us held out hope that Farney would take us back to the old State Farm. The one Ed led. Farney is trying to make some legacy of AI and bad faith. With RICO charges pending in Oklahoma, a Congressional DOJ investigation led by Senator Hawley, and the botched California handling - how is our company worth what it is? You can’t get promoted unless you drink the kool-aid and now they expect if you live within 180 miles of the HUBs you can commute. The new hybrid is trash but dang imagine living in Tucson AZ and having to commute to Phoenix

@a4

People downvoted you, but you are spot on, the board of directors is the root of the rot. They chose tipsord and farney, rust was on the board.

For whatever reason, the board didnt want this to be the dominant insurance company based on family values, and wanted to emulate our inferior competitors, so much so now we are indistinguishable from them, and losing ground to them, rapidly.

Not sure their thought process on that, maybe they all hold progressive stock?

CEO is just a puppet of the board of directors. They hire the CEO. Instead of a strong leader theyve chosen an even weaker leader than tipsord was. They just want a yesman.

@a4 the first part of this statement is true, the second part is not.

Ed has told basically anyone who will listen that he did not approve of the way the company moved after he retired.

Tippy turned out to be a huge disappointment. And, that’s a huge understatement!

@OP the revisionist history some of you create for yourselves. Ed Rust Jr handpicked Tipsord. The company went exactly where Ed wanted it to.
