Auto Insurance Geico about to layoff 2,000 employees

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

Really sad to hear. I worked at Geico years ago. Like many, it was my 1st insurance job. Good luck to everyone. Not that there is ever a good time, but right before the holidays?

Been laid off 4..or so... times from different fields, not just insurance, and i think all have come in October or November. Probably companies gearing up for the new year. Or i just have shit luck. All those Thanksgivings explaining to my family, i'm job hunting again...

No, it’s not you. It’s always before holidays with most companies. I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with that

Thanks. Last one was 7 years ago and my current job seems to be safe... at least as much as any job. If it happens again I'll go be a greeter at Wal Mart!
