FEAR
Just like our government, SF wants you to live in fear. Remember folks just like the customer, you have liberty and freedom. Do not let any totalitarian take your liberty.
Work From Home Expenses
What’s the word on increased home expense reimbursement? All utilities increasing regardless of your geographic location, along with paying for your own internet. How much longer will SF freeload?
Jake State Farm accepting Gratuitous Payments
The Jake from State Farm commercials always seems to accept gifts and gratuitous payments. Can he really be objective with his claims handling with all these gifts? They are not nominal; steaks value $100. Any thoughts?

WFH
WHF has been in many ways a disaster. Between the Shiite equipment and c-appy software, it is a wonder that anyone actually gets to claims. The worst part of this is that frontline management blames theses issues on the handlers. If I wanted to be a... — read more

Bakersfield California office closing but no work from home mentioned
