Any others out there who was forced into Total Loss? Seems like there’s a new wave of people every couple of months. Total Loss is a nightmare. I absolutely hate it. So many people are either quitting or retiring once they hit the floor. So many of us are looking for work elsewhere. I guess that was their goal..

Its how the company manages "we want less employees since they are a cost and cost is bad see metric" the second theres downtime in another department theyll force a bunch of people into meat grinder claims roles, roles they purposely keep high turnover in, so youll put your time in, hate it like its designed to, and leave. Then the executives can be happy another cost has been reduced, since thats all you are if you interact with the customer.
Total loss was insane 10 years ago, like 60% of the desks were empty due to turnover, and no one cared. They would freeze people in position which meant no transfers out, which caused tons of talent to leave. When i was there they werent forcing other roles into total loss though.
Sadly i saw the actual work as interesting, but it just wasnt worth the horrificly bad, like wage slave meme tier TMs, and the awful SM, some blonde whos still there creating he-l on earth. Work was hard, you were 100% unsupported, resources were bad, and they would get mad if you asked anyone a question about anything, so people just made errors and moved on whatever....
The amount of money that department loses SF is insane, from release fees for shops, to delays in settlement, to however much it costs to continually hire new people because not a single effort to keep people is done. Paying $5k to a sc-mmy shop to release a $3k car was normal....all because it sat in their yard earning more than youd pay for a 5 star hotel.
The health care and retirement cuts are definitely a game changer but I highly doubt you'll get any sympathy from the general public especially after seeing the percentages off auto and fire policies...on top of that retirement annuity and health care all while insurance cost have skyrocketed...I'm also hearing 30-50% income cuts as they push life insurance and cut @20k agents
