Thread regarding Progressive Insurance layoffs

We are understaffed

I don't know why some people mention layoffs, maybe they know something that I don't. My impression is that we are largely understaffed, but I am not sure that the company is doing anything about it. Related to that is the problem that employees are often expected to do double workloads.

Sales is slow, rates are high, but they’re high everywhere. The restrictions are normal. I think they hired too many when it was covered up in the last 6mo to a year. Many going to be moved to services and other departments.

Actually, in response to the person under me... I am also in sales. PAA to be exact (multi product sales), and while it has been busy or steady for us the ability to sell to meet metrics is tough when carriers we work with are pulling out or have really drastically increased premiums... Many times we are not even competitive with what someone is currently paying on the property side...

I do see our auto rates are usually significantly more competitive though

I think it is the same person spreading the layoff rumors if we're being honest.
