Thread regarding GEICO layoffs

Todd Combs‘ Track Record

Not my post but here is an opinion…

Todd Combs has ruined what was once spectacular.

Here’s his resume at GEICO

Took away profit sharing

  • Eliminated nearly 50% of the associates ~48700 down to ~27000
  • Took away good healthcare to horrible healthcare
  • Eliminated all board members except N Pierce
  • Doubled executive pay for his external hires mostly Capital one plus the far left activist group including the former WH spokesman and Boeing Max mouthpiece
  • Provided an average 1% raise for employees while top executives received an average of 100% plus deferred bonuses
  • Took away all college scholarships for the now less than 27000 employees and their children
  • Eliminated sales bonus and Holiday gathering monies. Removed utensils from all lunch areas.
  • Mandated coaching app / memos and the elimination of the bottom 10% of performers
  • Hides from everyone and only emails about layoffs or lack of transparency while remaining hidden
  • Eliminated the code of conduct and the directive to operate with uncompromising integrity

I worked for Todd - there are so many uninformed takes going around. Geico needed a complete re-org. That’s what he did. It was a retirement home, and can probably continue to cut jobs. Sure it’s ‘sad’ but the environment requires more discipline, esp with PGR.

He’s underperformed the index(s) while at Berkshire by a significant amount. It was by “a few points” up until a few years ago before Snowflake crashed and he had no other winners.

His track record before this was short and lukewarm at best

He's goosed GEICO numbers by cutting ads and ja--ing up rates.

GEICO has lost 30% of subscribers since 2020, but the shortterm #s look fairly good.

Everything about him screams Charlatan, including how he got the job.
