Thread regarding State Farm Insurance layoffs

Never have I seen the policy loss we have experienced under the new leadership.

MT is trashing a company made strong by its employees, Rust recognized the value of dedicated, highly skilled and motivated employees.

New leadership sees experienced long term employees as a expense and nothing more. They are paying the price now with record high indemnity, out of control loss adjustment expense and claims mistakes costing them hundreds of millions. Never have I seen the policy loss we have experienced under the new leadership.

If we were a stock company MT would be long gone. State Farm has $96 billion, but they are making cuts like they have one foot in the insolvency door. If you are over 50 you are most likely going to get kicked to the curb. Very sad to see all the hard working dedicated career oriented people losing their jobs at the worst time possible. Leadership keeps talking about growing, seriously?

They won't have the claim staff to even service the customers should they ever attract any. Amazing how clueless the senior leaders are to the realities of what is really going on in claims. Have to wonder how long they will tolerate MT's lack of leadership skills.

Exactly what is happening. They want all the long term, once dedicated, highly skilled employees out. Replacing with people that are given very little training that they can pay way less. My upper management is a lying joke. Can’t wait to get out for good.

Sadly, in the medium to long term, this is only the beginning reorgs/downsizing will come again. Folks should read "How the mighty Fall and why some companies never give in" by Jim Collins. It shows that State Farm has gone down the path of many other companies. While you can buy the book on Amazon, you can get cheap copies off of ebay.

How many reorganizations happened under Ed? How many regional offices closed under Ed? Who quit listening to his people got mesmerized by the pablum of McKinsey and Company?

"New leadership sees experienced long term employees as a expense and nothing more."

This is exactly the problem. Our floor leadership told us all we are nothing but overhead to State Farm. A successful company would make the employees feel valued & motivated. Sad to see the current leadership destroy a once great company that has taken 90+ years to build.
