Insurance employees reportedly threaten to quit after CEO backtracks on remote-work policy: 'I sold my house and moved closer to my grandkids'
Workers at insurance giant Farmers Group are reportedly threatening to quit or unionize after the company's new CEO backtracked on its remote work policy.
Employees expressed their frustrations with the decision by flooding a Farmers Group internal social media platform with over 2,000 comments,. Workers who commented on the platform said they were considering leaving their jobs or forming a union, with one saying they were hired with the promise that remote work would be allowed moving forward, the Journal reported.
"I sold my house and moved closer to my grandkids," another worker's comment read, according the Journal."So sad that I made a huge financial decision based on a lie."in January, announced last month that most employees would be required to work in office three days a week, the Journal reported. Farmers Group spokesperson Carly Kraft told Insider over email that the company will shift to this hybrid work policy in September. She added that these employees have three months' notice to"adjust and make arrangements." The hybrid policy change will impact roughly 60% of the company's employees, Kraft wrote.
The policy change is"a blended approach we believe will allow us to continue offering the flexibility that we all value while reaping the benefits of the office environment," the statement continued."Our intent is to foster greater collaboration, creativity and innovation while also providing better opportunities for learning, training, mentoring, career development and organic interaction.
