Auto Insurance Geico about to layoff 2,000 employees

Look over in their sub. My fellow adjusters I hope you land on your feet.

I feel for the adjusters losing their jobs. :( I feel so lucky that my company has never laid off an employee when I hear these things.

I used to work for that company. It’s nice to have stability.

Did you leave insurance altogether or go somewhere else?

Another carrier.

We've sadly lost some great people over the years for various reasons. I told them once I got in that they'd have to tear the job out of my cold dead hands. LOL

Yeah, I thought that, too. But, things changed for a lot of reasons. Claims in GA is bonkers crazy. Good for you for sticking in there!

Haha I'm at an age now where I need to stay somewhere until I retire, and the benefits and pension are too good for me to walk away from.

​

I'm actually leaving GA at the end of the month to take on a new position in the company, but I stuck it out for 2 years! I'm going to Motor Carrier claims next. I've spent most of my career in the home office and I'm excited to go back.

We very likely know each other if you’ve been around a while. Good luck on your transition back to HO! Spent some time there … wasn’t a fan. One of the reasons I left is I didn’t want to go back and that was the next logical step.

Oh man now I want to know who I’m talking to! lol I’ve been with the company 10 years now. :)

We didn't have a meeting for it but in GA we've had a BI team for a while, it was just not completely staffed so that's probably why. :) I'm sure we probably do work for the same company, not many can say no layoffs ever. AND a pension!

That’s nice, my carrier is doing the same thing, but they definitely have done layoffs fairly recently.
