More layoffs tomorrow
I don't think there's even a chance they managed to notify all 2,400 people in a single day. I do believe the brunt of it is over, though. But I won't be able to relax until the end of the week. This is absolutely brutal and heartless, and not to... — read more
Hearing anything about Reduction In Force?
Rumors around news coming out early next week.
Time to unionize
This new RTO policy is the final straw for this dumpster fire of a company.

What is the time frame?
How soon after the acquisition is completed can we expect “restructuring” to occur and layoffs to be announced? Once the transaction is completed it will bring 3500 Metlife employees into the fold. I’m pretty sure there will be redundant positions... — read more

Farmers no longer hiring
This company is no longer hiring. I am thinking lay off coming soon as policies drop. Current management has gotten rid of support staff, froze new hires in CA, taken away fleet cars and shuffling staff to handle caseloads of folks that has left... — read more

Any news of impending pay offs (RIFs)?
Any news of impending pay offs (RIFs)? I know they are restructuring but it is vague.
So glad I left Farmers
Left few months ago, what a relief. Such a horrible place to be in. Thought all these corporate changes they’ve been making will bring something positive, but no, still a mess. Agents lying and cheeting left and right, all while stabbing each other... — read more

Don't trust management!
The whole open door policy is a lie! If you make a mistake and bring up an issue with your manager you can bet that nothing will be solved. Not only that - they will retaliate against you. Suddenly you are the one with behavior problem and it's an... — read more
Sales goals are rediculous
Things have turned from bad to worse at Farmers Insurance really quickly. For a while now we've been seeing monthly goals go up on pretty much monthly bases. We have slow and outdated systems that break down on regular bases, and yet nobody takes... — read more
