How many times is SF going to reorg into one Systems Department? This is the 3rd time from my recollection. Auto, Fire, and others combined decades ago. S&S combined in 90's to form Systems and Corp South was constructed. Now we have ET. Maybe... — read more 

It will be them at some point! State Farm is a Mafia run organization.

There are droves of Boomers who "have always had State Farm" and don't plan or care to switch companies. Well, now they are getting to the age where they are needing less policies due to downsizing or dying off and this will, sooner rather than... — read more 

AND SF SERVICE S---S TOO

Since I am losing my job at SF I no longer have a loyalty for keeping my insurance there. I have 2 vehicles and homeowners. Thoughts on where to go?

I am a long term customer and reading about the changes in Claims makes me wonder how a claim on my home if (I ever have one) would be handled? Can I expect a local SF employee to be the person who works my claim or will I be forced to deal with a... — read more 

What are current terms of severance? I think in past re-orgs it was two weeks for each of the first 10 years of employment, and one week for each year after that, nacing out at 52 weeks. Am I remembering correctly?

they realize the hub concept was a mistake.

I heard today that wave 1 offers are coming in two groups. Offers on Monday, May 7th have until the 11th to accept or resign. Offers on Monday, May 14th have until the 18th to accept or resign. For those in Wave 1, hope you all get some good and/or... — read more 

State Farm is definitely deep state!

some fantastic locations

There is no culture! Robots and time takers! Thats the new atmosphere! when did State Farm become a factory. People dressed unprofessionally, time coocks on the wall, no education requirements. I remember when it was HARD TO GET INTO STATE FARM!!! No... — read more 

Ok, so a number of you have been vocal in your support for change, which you indicate is needed. My question is this: Is the company going far enough in this re-org, or are there additional things you would like to see done to ensure the success of... — read more 

First off, it's never easy to be on transition wondering if you had a job. Sorry Bloomington folks but this has been going on for 10 years plus in the regional offices and claim centers across the U.S.. Where was the outrage, conspiracy and concern... — read more 

Can someone briefly tell me what jobs would fall under the Systems heading. I’m proximity auto and apparently live in a closet.

Every post on here seems to be some kind of conspiracy theory about 50+ workers. Why would that me? Could it be because you don't have any skills? I survived the purge because I've kept my skills relevant. And every day watch a bunch of useless... — read more 

Just wondering what people here think...

Has anyone heard anything about the 130 jobs they posted for about a month ago? Didn't know if anyone has been offered the job or have any information when they will send out offers.

Has anyone in a Proximity position who opted in then rejected an unreasonable job offer received a second offer? My first offer was out of state and I declined. New offer received today is less than 50 miles away. I had no idea they'd make another... — read more 

I would just like to say the Hubs are reality. However if you are preparing to move to a Hub understand it is radically different than even the SF of the last five years. Most of the less tenured, not all but most, treat their role like a job and... — read more 

MT's 2016 compensation was $8.16 million. I did not see his 2017 compensation in the Pantagraph or in any Internet searches. Does anyone have his 2017 compensation? Please keep replies on topic so mods have no reason to delete. Thanks.

Just curious where the folks that have left the company are working now? Did you stay in Insurance, was the pay comparable. Did you leave insurance and where did you go. A lot of decision for a 20+ employee that relocated to a hub for the... — read more 

Which is better considering the taxes on the cash out?

One thing has been bugging me for a while now: who decides who gets laid of and based on which criteria? I'm trying to make sense of the stuff that has been happening at State Farm, but some of the decisions and selections make so little sense to me... — read more 

State Farm is pinching pennies so bad that they now charge $.10 for a cup of water and $.05 for a plastic fork.

Has anyone ever considered a walk out at the Farm? For years we were willing to take meaningless pay raises in exchange for long term security. Now security is gone, and the pay is still not very tied to performance, and is less competitive by the... — read more 

Yes, I am frustrated. But at the top of this page, click on Allstate, or Farmers, or Nationwide or AmFam. They might as well be the State Farm links. I’m an agent, used to work in Claims. All I have to do is walk across the parking lot and talk to... — read more

Anyone heard about this yet?

So when will transition plan be officially approved for IT? Wave 1 announcements in 2 weeks, then the rest of us are waiting for wave 2 in mid-June. And BTW- Yes I am at a hub and do not feel safe.

What depts have qtd today?

I was wondering if it was possible to get severance paid out in several installments instead in one lump sum? Savings on taxes would be significant that way and I am sure every little matters to people who are freshly out of a job. I personally... — read more
