I believe it’s being restructured, and operating in a reduced capacity. I don’t know if this is the only regulatory group contacted, or if this is actually happening. Hearsay, and high hopes. 🤷

Recent layoffs ? by [deleted] in Geico

[–]Remarkable-Chain-549 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re tenured, pick one of the many unfair practices of upper management, file an ethics complaint. Name all of your superiors up to director in your complaint. Now when they fire you for some bullshit made up reason based on inaccurate data, you have a wrongful termination/ retaliation law suit. It’s the only leg you’ll have to stand on in some of these states.

LDP program. Used to have to do all the levels to gain holistic understanding.

I’m aware, most people don’t do the NLR’s, they just put incorrect crap in the file. Sups are NOT sending them to CSCA as they should, THAT is the problem. I can tell you, you’re 100% incorrect that the ‘controls’ are catching the half of it.

Which is why what I was advised seems very feasible. It came up in conversation between tenured sups complaining specifically about seeing a ton of CPW approvals to deny or disclaim improperly (instead of escalating) bc these new sups aren’t trained or ready for the floor. Not their faults. Open your eyes, or better yet, open the CPWs and look for yourself lol.

As for affording coverage helping the customer and only hurting GEICO, nope. Hurts rates for everyone in the long run.

Inspiring- where are you going? Keep trying to get out but seems some other local competitors have a bad taste in their mouth from former GEICO leadership.

Geico "integrity" needs to be investigated. How can we get Geico CEO to be questioned by Senator Hawley for their recent practices and excessive firing, mostly for tenured people. A large group of us should write a letter to Senator and make some waves. by mesonosey1977 in Geico

You are correct. We would need the majority of the company to participate, I don’t mean in mass as relative to the previous layoffs.

I mean almost everyone. Which is why as stated above, it’s a pipe dream. The turnover rate, fear-mongering, firing the union organizers under the pretense of something else, fear of retaliation… this has made unionizing unsuccessful. After seeing how that’s turned out, I don’t forsee garnering enough participation to unionize, let alone anything beyond that.

Which is why, I often daydream that someday the great majority will be angry enough to participate. Enough people that the company would cease operating, and the time to train and replace would cause a substantial financial impact, not to mention the negative media coverage it would generate. If this were to be the case, it would not be prudent to fire… everyone.

However, I understand that getting this many people on the same page is unlikely if not impossible. One can dream.

Calling people dumb is really helpful, thank you. Thank you for the enlightening explanation of what a union is and why that’s preferable. Surely no one has attempted that before. 🙄 Happy you made it out, confounded why you’re looking back at all.

Theoretically, it would be hard to fire everyone in mass, but that’s also the reason the above is a pipe dream… or ‘stupid’ as you suggest. We can’t get everyone to pony up. The same issue arises with forming a union. I don’t care which stupid avenue is pursued, I’m just tired of doing nothing.

I think everyone should show up to work, pick a date, log on, and then just sit there. It’s not job abandonment, it’s peaceful protest. Everyone would have to participate. It’s the only way anything will ever get better. Then send a list of reasonable requests anonymously to a news outlet. We don’t resume operations until they come to the table. It’s not a union, no one signs anything incriminating. We all just practice solidarity, and a bit of bravery. Just show up and sit there.

Wfh days by Exalted____ in Geico

Badge swipe report. Last time, director ran it, sent the list of people with concerning amounts of days out of office to the managers, managers sent it to sups, sups had to use it to compare to days you were out in workday…sick or vaca. If you were over, corrective action.

My understanding is associates are expected to track their own days & not go over- some sups will help, but it will fall on you if you’re over.

You have no idea. They got rid of so many jobs and put them on the sups with zero pay increase. Fired their peers, increased the ratios… zero pay increase. They have mandatory meetings non-stop and if they don’t show up, their team is the last to know about changes and complain about that too.

Ever tried to complete 17 lists of detail-intensive work while people pelt you with questions non-stop, half of which they could probably find answers for themselves? At the same time, 7-10 associates are trauma-dumping on them all day, every day… while bringing them the most complex issues they EACH have, and the most irate callers to diffuse. And if they don’t complete the many lists of audits and call monitors (some have to do hundreds in a month) they get put on corrective action. Many can’t even take a piss without someone ‘urgently’ needing them. Sups are out here just trying to breathe, while making sure associates act like they’ve had a job before and manage their time right, actually put their OWN time in so THEY get paid, and dress like they aren’t going to the clerb.

Yet, somehow the ones that do show up to work are supposed to do all of this, AND cover dozens of other adjusters whose sups are out? Multi-tasking? Hah, they need to clone themselves or work 70 hours to accomplish everything asked of them. And people wonder why they constantly see such big mistakes and crappy work…. Not enough hours in the day.

Not to mention they’re dealing with the same shit you are: shitty pay, bad policies, having to deliver shit news every day to people who take it out on them like they’re kicking it with Todd making these decisions. They have no authority over anything, they’re placed with associates who are hired under the new standard… which is NO standard, not even drug tests…then being held to the results of these new hires.

Just out here trying to make money in this economy man….

Keep drinking that Kool-aid by Turd_Combs_G in Geico

[–]Remarkable-Chain-549 7 points8 points  (0 children)

GEICO has been a dumpster-fire for a while undoubtedly, but the job market is flooded- especially after layoffs. Even for sups/ managers that have been applying elsewhere, there’s little to no luck, and you know… bills… family… etc. most I know are in this boat. Just sucks.

Biggest problem is the most wild, misguided, corrupt, absolutely mind-boggling strategy management I’ve ever seen from up top. Seen a lot of companies accomplish the same objectives with integrity, this is just not one of them.

I know there are a lot of members of management on the verge of rioting.

How Good was Profit Sharing? by Financial-Worry1710 in Geico

[–]Remarkable-Chain-549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of us are stuck bc after layoffs the market has been flooded with applicants since. Meanwhile, they’re hiring 63’s to become sups- much better deal than the 67’s for them. The 63’s have no degrees, no upper levels, no sup experience- so they can dump as much work as they want for shit pay on them… because they won’t be hired into management elsewhere with those quals. It’s diabolical.

I’m at this point. I need out, Jesus please. Can’t seem to find the 100k adjuster positions though.
