I work at a major insurance carrier.
I am terrified of losing my job. Talk of realignment. Offers of voluntary departures.

There have been lay offs, senseless write ups, threats of write ups. I don't feel like I can trust the company at all. Im looking to jump ship!

Is anyone, in claims scurrying around applying for roles outside of the industry?

I got a tip from a friend who works in a different department, who was told to expect an economic disturbance within the company in 2026.

I'm a broker at a large firm. Insurance is so incestuous . Everybody moves everywhere so I'm sure you can get a job really easily at another carrier . Everyone is always looking . I think the only issue right now would be a lot of companies freeze hiring until after the New Year because of the holidays . If they do fire you you'll get unemployment . But I don't think you'll have trouble finding another job

It's been tough getting on with other carriers! I even applied for remote part-time evening/ overnight customer service jobs so I can stash extra money away......No luck there lol. BUT! I understand it's a numbers game and I'll keep applying.

How is the pay?

Insurance is in the toilet now. I have worked 30 years in the health insurance side and have been laid off due to mergers and/or plan shuttering 5x. No one wants to look for a new job, but start getting your resume together,

I read below and found it is SF. Right now, there is something going on w/SF. One of my friends is a TM in a diff dept. She told me if you aren't well liked, or "the perfect employee" many TM's are being told to FIND reasons to get rid of people. Even for simple things like an unapproved absence and such (even if it was for a Dr Appt or family emergency). SF is no longer the company it used to be. I recently had a TM that was trying to get me and another girl fired. I went to the EEOC and an attorney with what I had and was told they would be glad to take the case once I was "harmed." Who wants to go through that though. "Harmed" means fired or missed out on a position in this case. I love what it used to stand for years ago, but what it stands for now... can't be spoken politely.

like

It seems that way to me. I remember hearing years ago to never to work for SF, because of LOW pay and micromanagement. But, I wanted a career change and gave it a shot.

But, I really think it's unfortunate to treat employees this way. I believe most people would rather hear a straightforward message like, "We can't afford to keep everyone," instead of being manipulated.

Offshore and nearshore companies are going to continue to creep in. There is no department within insurance safe from this. If any team is offshore in the org they are already looking at ways to do it for every team. They cost 40% of the cost and will put 20 more hours in a week. Trust me I was recently offshored.

Is this accelerating across the industry?

Everybody’s been saying there’s gonna be economic disturbance for the last two years. Insurance is full of economic disturbances. Every year we don’t have a lot of hurricanes were that much more assured that next year we’re gonna have a whole lot of hurricanes.

The entire claims department of that place is unreasonable. I was let go a few months ago for my claim inventory being so high, and not allowed to get rid of claims because of certain criteria. 9+ years of success and hard work at that place just to be eliminated after asking for guidance multiple times and telling my TM I was considering taking STD (let go the next day).

That's upsetting! I really hope you find an employer and manager that appreciates you..., But that TM should be ashamed!!!!!!! Things like this catch up to people like that all the time....

What company?

I too work there and it is very stressful in Express. The unrealistic metrics on handling calls is too much. No matter how hard I work to professionally serve a customer, the bottom line to them is to do it in a short amount of time. I am not a lazy worker & I don’t cut corners for a number. I treat customers the way I want to be treated when I call a company.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
