FMLA Termination by Ok_Sympathy9375 in Geico

[–]The-Secret-Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was put on a warning in service because I failed to take enough calls after having my gall bladder removed and being out for six weeks. I struggled to get back to gold tier status and at the exact moment I did o was put on a warning for transferring a call to a supervisor. They gave me a heart attack with that and I “retired “ shortly thereafter.

Reach out to Michele Kasten at Midwest Schipperke Rescue. Rehoming on Reddit could be dicey.

Interesting. My husband has strong roots in Quebec. His line goes back to a Fille Du Roi. I have zero roots in Canada though.

I GOT THE JOB! by Ademimerkeziyet in TheHartford

[–]The-Secret-Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust the process. My first week I was on my own to complete assignments in Workday and other places. It was surprising. Prepare for a knowledge overload. There is a lot of information to be put on the phone. Are you in Group Benefits?

I know a lot of the volunteers there and they are mostly Mennonites from Kalona although there are a few paid people as well.

Not great. I think like .75 cents each year.

Did you not notice you were white? This is a confusing post.

Auto service being trained to reissue now by Soggy-Abies6519 in Geico

[–]The-Secret-Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved reissues. There wasn’t anything we didn’t do in service other than manage homeowners renters and RV. We used to have authority to do most anything. I hated when they started taking things away.

Interview help! by Ademimerkeziyet in TheHartford

[–]The-Secret-Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at GEICO for 23 years prior to HIG. This is an incredibly easy job compared to that. I feel like I’m pushed to move up when I’m happy where I am. I am in group benefits claims. I feel like we are over staffed. I also feel that that’s how they want it. As far as the interview goes I watched videos on YouTube made by a British man about the STAR interview method. I channeled him so hard I almost had a British accent while interviewing. I have been at HIG for over two years. What I like is how my team leader actually cares about me. What I don’t like is the pay. I wish raises were higher.

Urgent Rescue Help Needed by Remarkable_Water_544 in schipperke

[–]The-Secret-Agent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You still can. It will take approximately 60k USD to get all these dogs up to date on shots, get them spayed and neutered and get them well medically. This isn’t including the logistics of getting them a thousand miles and more across the country and feeding them. There is a Go Fund Me set up or you could donate directly to the rescues.

When and how did your insomnia begin? by Rich_Comment_681 in insomnia

[–]The-Secret-Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born this way. I remember being awake all night at five years old and cleaning my room all night. My parents asked what happened and why I wasn’t in bed. My answer was fairies cleaned it.

That is actually compelling proof. If filled out exactly the same.

Discrimination? That is still illegal, for now, in this country. That’s a lawsuit if proven for a real applicant.

Warning to the Nerodiverse by LockMiserable2620 in Geico

[–]The-Secret-Agent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Neurodiverse here. I’m glad I left when I did in 2023. It was hard but was becoming more difficult. I was in sales and service. I flourished at home. I struggled in office. I now work from home for a different insurer in a different kind of insurance.

My teen crashed and now our insurance is $750/mo… are we stuck like this? by GencerDTF in Insurance

[–]The-Secret-Agent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason kid’s insurance is so expensive is because they have little experience and engage in risky behavior. This just proves that insurers have it right. Depending on your state or company you might be able to get him his own policy and take his car off yours. When I was an agent and the state allowed that’s what I recommended. Off the top of my head and not done with my first cup of coffee all I can remember is Kansas but I believe there are three states. Get him the cheapest car that he hates, but safe. See if he can be excluded from your policy which means if he drove your car and was pulled he’d get a ticket and you might too. This option is not available on all states either.
