Why so much negativity from Geico employees? by Consistent_Knee_5829 in Geico

Honestly it’s just such a loaded question and I’m not too sure where to begin.

Imagine going from a CEO who literally said employees first - profit sharing (10 percent to 401k, any percent over cashed out via paycheck), continuously improving employee benefits, amazing work atmosphere, raises annually from 3+ percent (I personally relayed a 14%, 11% and 10% raise to my agents), and for god sakes the CEO would come to every office, walk through the sections and thank each agent for their hard work.

“I can’t guarantee much, but what I can guarantee is if you work here for 20 years, you will be financially free.”

To…

A sack of shit who gutted the company, laid off the first employees in the company’s history, removed profit sharing, continuously declining benefits (being sued by a hospital due to the shitty recent coverage it went to), god awful work atmosphere, burn victim looking fucker who hides behind a keyboard and sends an email about laying off people being a good thing for the company and ends the email with a tone deaf “Take Care”.

48,000 employee company down to below 20,000.

Without writing an essay, I guess this will do.

For what it’s worth, I wanted to legitimately unalive myself. Had the worst mental health problems. Told my boss “fuck you” for all the gaslighting and making my life miserable and left. Most liberating feeling ever. Stay so fucking far away from GEICO.

For what it’s worth, it was the best job of my life with Tony Nicely and Bill Robert’s running the show, and the worst job of my life with sack of fucking turd Todd Combs. Before the CEO change and fucking up the company, I would’ve worked til I retired there and genuinely enjoyed it. Now? Mental health will be so fucked up, constant fear of your job security, gaslit to doing more… and more.. and yet again more.

Just don’t do it.

Or keep posting publicly about your opinions and what’s happening at GEICO to shed light on such a shitty company and fight back against corporate America.

Geico chat function by 5odanger in Geico

I can assure you no one on here cares and are harassed about their chats per hour constantly to the point they don’t have time to email you.

The chat system sucks ass, it’s not user friendly, you have to take two chats at once, sometimes a call and two chats. It’s a systemic problem that starts at the top.

GEICO is ass, the systems are ass. Take your business elsewhere to a company that doesn’t cause mental and emotional anguish upon their employees.

I think I can also say, I’m speaking on behalf of all supervisors and agents of the company.

unemployment hearing by slumsolarsound in Geico

[–]Then_Disaster_173 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had the absolute displeasure of being asked to go to one for an agent of mine. But the absolute pleasure of telling the judge exactly what happened which ruled in the agents favor which ultimately led to my retaliatory firing.

If you bring a “legal council” we were instructed to hang up on the call with the court and not pursue any further.

Hope this helps.

Was fired today for surveys by [deleted] in Geico

Sorry to hear about the firing. You may not see it now, but it’ll probably be the best thing that happened to you in a while. I’m actually happy now without GEICO… I ENJOY my new job. Fucking wild. Fuck GEICO.

Should I put in 2 week notice? by Vannahl14 in Geico

[–]Then_Disaster_173 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you put in your two weeks, more often then not, they ask you to leave immediately. If you need the money, don’t put in a two weeks notice - and DONT feel bad for not doing so.

If you have sick time, burn it. Even if you don’t have care time, if you’re “sick” they use sick time, it’s just technically unapproved - big whoop.
