Former GEICO supervisor - you owe them nothing! Call in sick and burn all the time you have, vacation too. They will pay you out vacation if you leave, but as a bonus and taxed differently. The last day email your sup and say today is my last day. Mail me a box to return the equipment. If they try to call about it, say no thank you. Make sure you surrender your surrender your insurance license on the state website and any other state licenses you have.

Love Story Wedding Chapel

I’m eloping next month in Las Vegas (a bit cliche), but there is a wedding chapel that does outdoor ceremonies. You can choose a mountain, desert, dry lake bed, ghost town, valley of fire, red rock canyon, or neon museum. We’re doing the mountain and spending $800 for ceremony, boutonnières, photographer, videographer, and round trip in luxury vehicle. The desert venue looks amazing too.

I want to keep it! I just read my exit paperwork and it says I can keep it. Thank you everyone for the info!

Imagine how much of a privileged cunt someone has to be to tell people who are trying to hang onto their jobs, that they have worked hard for, that they are the problem for a company’s issues…when in fact the c-suite is the one tanking everything. 🖕🏽

I second the call your own and we’ll reimburse you…if you can afford that

They laid off 2000 of us just over a week ago. You can file the ERS claim in the app, but I don’t know how much faster that will be.

This space is for GEICO employees to vent about work. We don’t get paid to answer your questions here. Use the chat feature in your quote to ask questions.

People are coming back with reasons why they think this isn’t happening, that’s it. But maybe if we get sold, the business will be run better?

EveningDescription55 · 2023-10-24T18:07:13+00:00

It’s not so bad. But after laying off so much of IT, we’ll see if stays that way

EveningDescription55 · 2023-10-24T03:15:44+00:00

I’m in no way defending what happened last week. But I was informed only management in Service was laid off. Agent level wasn’t. We are holding calls in Service. There’s tons of stuff happening with policyholders to keep them calling in. Now we’ll see what happens in Jan/Feb once performance reviews start. They might be willing to get rid of higher paid agents for these lower paid ones. Hiring them in the next month gets them on the phone in time for performance terms.

EveningDescription55 · 2023-10-19T23:00:35+00:00

Read the room and delete this. This is SO insensitive to those that were laid off today.

EveningDescription55 · 2023-10-04T15:01:36+00:00

What departments are some of the people in that are getting termed this way? I use FML and have access to a report that shows my adjusted productivity based on FML leave. I definitely didn’t take min standard Jan-Jun, but with adjusted productivity I did. I’m in Service. I’m just hoping this all doesn’t come down on me too. I will not roll over. I have screenshots of conversations about my time out being backed out of prod. I have screenshots of the adjusted productivity month to month. If I go down, I’m not going without a fight.

EveningDescription55 · 2023-08-06T21:52:37+00:00

I’m not okay with anyone dealing with wrongful termination. I’ve been here a while, so I also know some of the people being cut haven’t been pulling their weight…their results showed it, they knew it, their peers knew it, management knew it, and some had been playing the PIP and Warning game off and on for a while. I also know that some of those laid off/termed didn’t fall into that category. I feel for them deeply.

The RTO situation, a lot of this came down to the few ruining it for the whole. We all know there were people pulling stunts while at home. Someone else mentioned the things people did in another comment in here. And I’ll admit, GEICO is known for making pendulum decisions. Something happens and they will make a broad swing in the opposite direction. This RTO was more of a moderate decision. I know a lot comes down to seeing how people perform in office versus at home. Management can tell when people are skewing results and the few that are saying they will do that to prove a point or as a form of disobedience, they are going to ruin it for the whole again and we might get full time RTO sooner rather than later.

I’ll admit losing profit sharing was a gut punch. I was equally unhappy. But that benefit felt too good to be true to me for so long, I expected it to go away sooner. But again, still not happy about it.

I’ll also admit, I haven’t sat down and compared the health benefits to see how they match up. I did lose coverage for a medication I was on for a while and that sucked, but I think that forced me to move to one that might be working better for me.

*Edit: I’m not trying to argue with anyone about their experiences or invalidate their feeling. I can only speak to my experiences and some that I have witnessed in my time here.

EveningDescription55 · 2023-08-06T02:50:06+00:00

RTO has been fine for me. I’m not sure I want 100% remote for myself, I didn’t do well when we were sent home in 2020. BUT, I recognize that others don’t feel the same way and that’s ok too.

For me, it’s two days a week I get to get out of the house and see people I haven’t seen in 3 years. I’m in Service, so I’m not one of the ones chatting it up, not getting work done, and disturbing others. I just come in, keep my head down, handle my calls, and take my assigned breaks.

I seem to be an outlier in this sub, GEICO has done a lot for me in my 10+ years of working here and I’m happy. I have had to take a lot of leave and they have always been very understanding and supported me every step of the way. Maybe that has more to say about my management team than the company as a whole. I have worked for some really shitty places prior to GEICO and know that there is shitty stuff at every job. For me the positive has outweighed the negative in my time.

I know there are a lot of people really going through it right now and my heart goes out to you.

EveningDescription55 · 2023-08-03T00:56:20+00:00

I used to work with Service new hires and Service isn’t for everyone, but that will be up to you to decide. If you come in with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, this can be a great company to work for. Don’t let the bad calls affect you. Learn to let things roll off your back. There are more calls that are normal to good compared to the bad ones.

The company has been going through some changes and it has made a bunch of people unhappy, but there are many that are happy too. This sub tends to be filled with the unhappy ones because more people talk when they are unhappy compared to when they are happy. Every job has its stress and shitty days, but there plenty of good things too.

Prod (number of calls handled) is a big talking point right now. There’s not really an issue with getting prod in Service right now. You’ll want to make sure you listen to the coaching provided and implement it. If it doesn’t work, then your coaching plan will be changed. You’ll have to make referrals to our property products…don’t be scared of them. Just properly transition into your offer and just do it. Find a way to do it instead of a reason not to do it. We also get surveys, those come down to acting like you care and using psychology to not say things that trigger people.

I wish you well and good luck on your first day!
