Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

A slap in the face

Why are ET/digital POs and “leads” in systems acting like they need support staff. They are over staffed as it is and it’s clear the planning areas at Farm play along or just exploit and use certain folks while pretending. Must be the “leadership dev” planning and HR show. Told they are too important and “intelligent” or busy at Farm and need direct reports to “mentor”. Mind boggling

This is the real world. Paid way to much for what they actually do. A slap in the face to Managers and Analysts actually worked their b—tts off & those that got let go. Also to those that get paid a heck of a lot less and do c-ap jobs/tasks they don’t want to do & too important to do & then micromanage their “team” on time and tasks. It’s not reality or right and deceptive

It’s exhausting to watch the politics and not real business.

They let many folks go and treat several of the ones left like dummy’s and like high school students having to brown nose to the “coach” or teacher and act “agile”

Areas really need relooked are for staffing levels and roles

Most areas have people that can multi task and do not need “support” people to get the actual work done and know how to do things themselves. A lot of Divas and kings... too many

Exhausting bureaucracy. Why customers and hard working employees with real world experience get ripped...

First of all, the department as of 3 years ago is no longer call Systems. I’m not a PO but work with plenty and all of the ones I work with are very good at what they do. It’s an incredibly hard job from what I can see. Usually there is a single PO, maybe two, covering an entire product....discovery, feasibility, technical research, managing the backlog, grooming, analytics, UX engagement. I’m not sure where you are seeing a lot of slack, I sure don’t. Unless you are actually a secretary that doesn’t like you were asked to do some support work? ET runs pretty lean these days. Far fewer people than what are needed to accomplish all of the priority work.

Z7V.....I don't see anything in my post that would imply that I thought it was the same person.....but I do agree with you, children evidently are a big part of this site.

Why in the heck would you think the same person reposted. Nonsense. I think children troll this site or PR trolls with big egos

A better question might be "Why are you re-posting something over a month old????"
