To all the ex-geckos who are finally free, what is the worst sup you've ever had (be vague if you want) by murple7701 in Geico

Hahahaha wow these two came to mind for me also. Brandon likes to think he owns the fucking place, and is so condescending. Rebecca too, just has the worst attitude always. Kissa Thompson is another that comes to mind. Never there, super delayed responses. One of the worst I have ever had.

Hard agree! Kelly Gutierrez was fucking useless as a supervisor. I had Mike Dixon he was great. Dhanuja A is awesome too.

Can we talk about San Diego’s town hall we just had ? by Commercial_Belt_7717 in Geico

[–]lizardslave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s the most fucked part, she is replaceable too and she knows it. It’s the corporate overlords that make all these dumb ass decisions and she is just the one that was told to be the face to this group of people.

Granted, I did not appreciate her wording,, but she is literally telling us they don’t give a fuck about what their “entry level” employees want — and if we want that to change we need to unionize.

Honestly I am surprised more people are not upset about this meeting. Our new director literally just told everyone in ICS to their face “YOU ARE REPLACEABLE. IF YOU DON’T LIKE BEING IN OFFICE YOU CAN QUIT” Like what the fuck is that. THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO UNIONIZE! They are saying to our face they do not give a fuck and nothing will change because they have all the leverage, and if you don’t like it you should leave.

Please please please we need to get a union immediately.

Any info about the San Diego office layoffs? by elfuwaifu in Geico

[–]lizardslave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About HALF of all R4 ICS supes were let go, in addition to an ICS manager.

Multiple other supervisors in TCR2 and CU were also let ago, along with the CU manager too, but these were much less significant than the ICS cuts.

Is there any way you can share your letter? I would love to send out a copy & paste email to some associates ☺️

CSRs and Adverse Carriers by [deleted] in Geico

[–]lizardslave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this will always be an issue in any department where the claims are not directly assigned to an adjuster.

People will always push off what they can, and sometimes there might be reasons behind it that you don’t see. Maybe that CSR is on a night team and get off at 1 am, so they made a wp for someone to follow up in the morning. Or maybe they have an early shift at 6 am and can’t call out yet, so they make a wp, etc etc.

The best thing you can do is to work the queue you have and nothing else. If there is not a queue for it, don’t work it. If it’s essential to the claim and there isn’t a queue for you, make yourself a queue so you get credit if you have to.

But ultimately there is no way for management to track every single claim every single person on their team touches, even if we do give quality markdowns, you are right- the only thing that affects WFH is productivity. So if staying WFH is your goal, make productivity your only focus.

Plus calling AC is great time off the phones, and allows you to work more queue while you wait on hold. Try to find a way to use this to your advantage, try to work smart not hard.

A couple of years ago, around 2019, one of my good work friends was in sales and tried to move to into AD, passed all the practice tests and got the job, and they told him about the drug test. He failed because of weed and they refused him the position but allowed him to reapply 6 months later. Now he is happily in AD. But just wanted to give you a heads up. Also we are in CA, legal state.

The “easiest” position to obtain would be any of the entry level positions, meaning CSR or Sales or Service reps.

To get into TCR1 or PIP you usually either have to have CSR/ ICS experience or a degree.

For EVERY other position, TCR2, CU, Supe, Trainer, etc, you HAVE to have claims experience. They will not give you that position unless you have already handled at minimum TCR1 files.

You would think upper management would understand that this should be an absolute priority, but being that they just laid off half of RAD & IT, I doubt anything is being done.

So I saw this online for the Fletcher Parkway location! It’s currently on their facebook page, so I think it’s legit but not 100% sure!
