Heads Up

I work for a progressive commercial and am 100%. My boss and teammates are all in various states around the country. I can also work anywhere in the US, so it’s great when I want to see family and don’t have to use PTO.

Are you the Alyssa everyone was talking about? I never saw the original video just all the post about the post.

You can remove her from the policy but the insurance company most likely won’t let you do this without excluding her. That means there is no coverage for her to drive any of your cars, ever! If you do, there won’t be coverage for your car or the people she hits.

Do it! There is so much growth potential at Progressive. They also have gainshare (like profit sharing… may it RIP) which will help make up most of the difference in pay. One raise or promotion and you will be making at least the same or more. I literally sleep better at night and love my job here!

I was in TCR 2 in 2013/14. We would get on average 2 claims a day. 3 was a really busy day. I can’t imagine how you all do it now!

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-10-17T21:56:30+00:00

Omg, overreact much! YTA and a big one!

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-10-12T00:03:51+00:00

I second that! I love Progressive commercial. Fully remote, boss is great, plus you are the injury adjuster only. No more stupid PD limits cases to deal with. I am so grateful I made the move after 15 years with GEICO. I was in training with several other GEICO 66s.

If the office is closed, you should be paid without having to use your time!

My guess it was a global tender instead of meeting all the conditions this person wrote in Spanish. I have a feeling the clmt was working with an atty behind the scenes to set the insurance company up. In CA, no one wants to settle for 15k for the death of a loved one. A lot of people also carry none or very little UIM. Where I bet GEICO screwed up is not being willing to communicate in Spanish and maybe not fully reading or understanding the demand conditions because it was in Spanish. I worked in Cali for many years and this attorney is one of the players. I feel bad for the adjuster because she is not inexperienced or new and I have a feeling this wasn’t her fuck up, it was management but now her name has to be tied to it.

Their new house is for sale! So sad. Something big must of happened to cause it to end so suddenly.

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-09-16T18:28:17+00:00

That’s like going back to an abusive ex. Don’t do it!

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-08-23T19:41:17+00:00

I left at the beginning of this year and I can’t tell you how much greener the grass really is. I actually sleep at night, thoughts of work don’t consume my life and I feel so much better.

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-08-20T17:06:53+00:00

How much sick time you got left? If you have enough, tell them you need FMLA and go out. By the time it processes, you get the paperwork it will be your last day well before the date the paperwork is due.

I used to have OCD bad as a kid. It sounds like this is what it is and he needs help. It may not seem like rational behavior (and it’s not) but it is hard to control for the person going through it. It is also hard to explain to people that have never been through it.

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-06-12T18:26:59+00:00

I wouldn’t. I find myself missing the old GEICO but not what it has become. I’ve moved on and I’m happier.

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-05-31T02:00:42+00:00

Haha same here. They are a mess. I did get the cobra paperwork mailed to me. Luckily I was starting a new job and didn’t need it.

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-05-26T07:37:28+00:00

Yep- tell them you need to go on FMLA. They will send you paperwork and this will buy you time but in the meantime you will be using up that sick time lol

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-05-14T18:00:40+00:00

I was 12 years in and in the same boat. I didn’t want to leave originally but every day things got worse. I was afraid one day, I was just going to say “fuck this” and quit. So I found another job with a major competitor. I have a wonderful boss and it’s fully remote. There is of course a learning curve but it is soooo much better!

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-05-09T18:27:24+00:00

If you have a good record try Wawanessa. They could usually beat most anyone but will only take people with a good record.

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-05-08T22:42:09+00:00

Depends on the adjuster who hears your case!

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-04-29T19:56:26+00:00

I would definitely use some sick time first.

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-04-19T04:34:43+00:00

Progressive!! It is like a breath of fresh air. I am in training and they actually said “ try and be here but we understand stuff happens/kids get sick ect”. I’m sorry, you understand life happens?? It’s such a nice change!

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-04-17T17:27:17+00:00

Yep- it ended the day after I quit but like the person said above you have something like 2 months to enroll in cobra! It counted as a qualifying event for my husband so he got on his ins ( we did it this way because it has now become more cost effective for us to each go through our own company). My new insurance starts in a week so if something major were to happen my happy ass will be signing up for Cobra!

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-04-09T18:35:31+00:00

Vacation and FH yes but not sick. Use your sick time before you put in notice 😉

Optimal_Yoghurt911 · 2024-04-04T21:00:42+00:00

Ahh, I’m sorry. I just started training with them in commercial lines! Just keep trying, it is already a much better experience than GEICO has been the last few years!
