Who hates being a claims adjuster?
4
I'm on PTO for over a week. My job has many different programs. Boss says don't list me as your OOO contact. Big Boss told me two days ago to never ask for help. So I ran my OOO plan by Boss, listing about five different people who can help with specific programs while I'm out. They agreed, off I go. Big boss gets my out of office notice and loses their mind because it's "unprofessional to list more than one contact." All of these contacts know the work, very efficient. What do you think?
My schedule states that I work from 8am to 5pm with an hour lunch each day and when the clock strikes 5, I like to leave. So, how can I tactfully tell my manager that I'm not willing to stay late and basically work for free since I'm salaried, and it's his own fault for failing to hire enough staff?
As I'm staring at my student loan statement, I can't help but think the time and money I spent on college wasn't worth it. I swear I can't think of a single thing from school that I use today. Did anyone's college experience benefit them? Or were we all scammed by the idea that we had to go to college?
I have seen way too many viral videos of people who got caught doing or saying something stupid that ended up causing them to lose their jobs and making it impossible for them to find a new one. I've scrubbed my social media of any mention of my employer to try to protect myself, just in case. Anything else I can do to protect my identity or at least hide the company I'm working for if people were to come looking for some reason?

I hated it! It wasn’t good for my mental health at all. We went to WFH when I first started the role and I felt like my safe space was being invaded by people who didn’t understand their policies or that just wanted to be mean because they didn’t get their way. Got out of it as fast as I could.
Ha. I thought I was the only one who felt this way. When my prior employer went hybrid, people couldn't understand why I refused to do it. I didn't want that negativity and stress in my personal space. They pretty much had to force me to be hybrid when they ran out of space.
I dislike it so much. I’m overwhelmed and overstimulated every single day.
Being a claims adjuster used to be something people made a career out of. Now, the carriers have all needlessly over complicated everything. the workload is unreasonable. the expectations are unrealistic. No one makes a career out of it anymore. new hires bail out withing 1-2 years.( a lot of them less than a year). the industry is in for a rude wakeup call when the last of the old time career adjusters have moved on/retired
This couldn’t be more spot on.
I just resigned from my adjuster position. I’m usually thick skinned but man it was ruthless. Not so much the job itself just the unreasonable expectations and work stacked on top of work. I lasted 5 months.
I also resigned here recently. Work stacked as well after people quit or were laid off.
Ahh I used to when I was handling 40+ property claims. Now that I handle larger exposure less volume I don’t mind it
Yes I’m in CAT so it’s not bad to me
I’m not in claims, but I’m pretty sure there was a post on here a while ago where everyone was commiserating on how horrible claims is in general lol
It’s too much. I never hated a job this much.
Dang y’all, I like being an adjuster versus being in sales or customer service lol
I feel you heavy on the customer service but one thing I think differentiates my role (simple auto) with the customer service dept, is my level of customer service is, they need me more then I need to people please. Having the control of making more outbound then taking inbounds, I’m calling them, and they NEED me, I stay on the outbound HEAVY it just feels diff for me then when they’re calling me and I have to answer at their demand versus them answering on my demand.. idk just a mindset that’s helped me remain in control of enjoying my job lol
IThe bad days are terrible and the good days are amazing.
Wait- you have good days?!?
I hate it and can’t wait to get out of it. I’m so over it.
