IT was being hit rather hard yesterday, not sure about other areas. Does anybody know more about how many were laid off in total? Geico management likes to be secretive about layoffs (I guess they're trying to protect the reputation or something) so... —  read more 

Does anyone know what the servance policy is? I'm in the SD area worried I'll be laid off soon. Want to prepare for what's next. TIA

Hey everyone- in less than a week I have interviews with several of our competitors. Look at the big ones on both the auto and home side, seems to be better pay options out there as well. Stay strong

When I start worrying that I can't afford to lose my job, especially considering the timing of these cuts is very bad right before the holiday season - I remember that it's not worth despairing, but taking control. You should not wait for them to... —  read more

Anyone has a story yet?

I’m in claims and I’m worried. We have a lot of phone availability right now (granted when we become ICS it will probably drop quite a bit) and they are training new CSR folks for ICS right now, like just newly hired folks and then we become ICS... —  read more

What's going on with layoffs? Will there be more during the week?

I am still safe, although I heard that Cybersecurity and Marketing are affected, but I have no information how many people were cut. Any insights? Also, I wonder if there will be more?

Well, cybersecurity is now the current department with people getting laid off. What a fantastic day at GEICO! Update: Layoffs are impacting other departments today too. Marketing has been confirmed. DevOps Core and audit are the suspected... —  read more 

That's just complicating things. Unions are leaches.

They’ve been trying to gaslight us into thinking we want RTO for almost 3 years. It’s not working on anyone.

Will there be more layoffs and closings any time soon?

GEICO has closed all of its 38 California agent offices that sell auto and homeowners policies and other lines and has also ended the practice of selling insurance through telephone agents in the state. Read more at:... —  read more 

Layoffs at GEICO are a fluke. We're doing well and we'll continue to do well. If you're worried, that's entirely on you. If there were cuts, they were needed and I'm betting you it was the low performers who were hit. It has to happen from time to... —  read more 

What are the chances layoffs will hit more groups in addition to IT? I usually don't worry about layoffs all that much but this news combined with layoffs throughout the entire industry and well beyond it is changing that. Maybe I'm overthinking... —  read more

What's going on with layoffs, any chance we'll be seeing more this week? This is the first major layoff I've witnessed since I joined GEICO a year ago so I'm probably stressing more than I should. I can't help it though. One of the reasons why I left... —  read more 

I was one of the ~ 80 associates laid off. As far as know, no associates actually working as actuaries were fired, though some of the "modelers" had also taken exams. It wasn't because of telematics, or at least not in a way that makes sense... —  read more 

Over half of the modeling department was laid off. These are the people who make the rating models and stuff.

Most claims staff are now being forced to work ICS. Have been told this will go on for several months at least. Geico also announced outsourcing some of the roles to international call centers… layoffs here we come…

Things are going down hill in a hurry!

TCR1 going to ICS is basically a slap in the face and a demotion. They are trying to put a positive spin on it but it's a load of cr-p. Never mind that they over work us like pack mules at least the positive was that it's a set schedule M-F 8- 4:30... —  read more 

Until the Covid pandemic one of the cornerstones was it’s Claims Adjustment staff. Nearly every auto claim was inspected in person by a staff adjuster. Geico prided itself on its adjuster staff as being the best in the industry. That’s all going... —  read more 

And if it's been as long as it seems, what's your secret? Curious Allstate guy

We had jobs offered to us with a promised start date. Went through their hellish hiring process and made it through. They pushed back the start date once, then decided “to hell with our promises,” and told us we’re no longer going to be working for... —  read more

Drone technology. That one right there is going to cut claims. Already started. Saw this brewing for quite a while. In fact when they really needed to cut some redundant operating costs ... and I'm just looking at that objectively. This translates... —  read more 

Is it true that we may be doing a reorg in late 2015 and possibly some layoffs after that. I also heard that this may spill into 2016. I need to make some major life decisions and it really makes me very anxious even to think that GEICO may have job... —  read more
