He showed that it was possible to get strong business results and to respect the employee as well.... It is possible to do both...even with a publicly traded company.... Tom and Glen have one focus.......driving their own performance... — read more 

our mco was told that our fate should be known next week

How come we have not heard anything from our CEO in weeks?

Jerry was once asked his biggest concern as CEO of Allstate. His reply was that he feels the pressure of his decisions because they affect the livelihoods of tens of thousands of hard working employees. He said it keeps him up at night... Allstate... — read more 

I have never seen anything like this. If this is the dysfunction of this company I want no part of it and I am looking for a new insurance company and auto club. This is beyond layoffs...There is something seriously broken and if employees and... — read more 

Looking forward to more transparency from Tom, Glen & Eric. But let’s remember how those scumbags define that.... So pretty much we will not get an update as stated by Eric on his last town hall.

Hands down, the most abusive company I have ever worked for. They allowed nepotism in the worst way. Rumors of people sleeping with management. People talked trash about people. They let the folks who cared disappear on the background by not giving... — read more 

Doubt that it is a coincidence ....think about it if earnings are being released they will either be good or bad.... if they are bad laying off thousands will probably not placate the market but it if they are good Allstate will look like s**t ... — read more 

Is because this is the FIRST chance to openly speak about the dysfunction employees have and are enduring at Allstate. YOUR Inspire Surveys, that filter right back to your manager, only placed a target on your back if any suggestions were made or... — read more 

Has anyone met Glenn Shapiro? He seems like a down to earth guy from what I have heard about him.

It’s hard to work hard knowing you could be let go of and nothing you do will change that. How are you guys staying focused and motivated to work?

This lay-off process is being handled very very poorly. No one knows anything and deadlines are not being met.

Mr Shapiro visited my office during his initial road show when he took over... We had a q&a and an employee asked him what strikes him about Allstate.... He said that there are too many employees doing the same thing.... I knew right there that we... — read more 

Where is the mainstream media coverage of the Allstate layoffs, agent abuse, and other questionable business activities? Why is Allstate getting a free pass from the investigative journalism channels? I wouldn’t advise relying on Crains as the best... — read more 

unless we are talking about the dollars that enter the pockets of Wilson, Shapiro et al....

I was an employee at liberty mutual that was a part of shapiros purge. You are a mirror image of what occurred at LM. Shapiro left a demoralized employee group that still struggles to believe anything that management says... The moment that he was... — read more 

Let’s face it. We are only as good as the leader. Take a good look at the leader... CEO Tom Wilson. He was drunk as fûck in the June town hall and more than likely was not suppose to announce the RIFs & lay offs yet. Why would he care, he’s sitting... — read more 

In looking at the top 5 officers total compensation on a yearly basis, you see consistency. When you look at Tom Wilson's total compensation, you see something totally different. Look at the pay, the avg employee pay, and CEO Ratios. These are from... — read more 

Anyone’s regional leader advised you must schedule future pto days due to the end of heat approaching? And only want people to have 5 days left remaining.

Like many of you I just want to know where I stand. Do I have a job or don’t I? Like many of you I’m stressed, scared, a little angry and just want to know my fate. Good or bad, I just want to know. But I do appreciate how this RIF is being... — read more 

I am old enough to remember when one of Allstate’s goals was to be “an employer of choice” for folks coming out of college. It appears that we have evolved to a point where there appears to be an anger at thegeneral employee from those who currently... — read more 

Instead of smiling on the camera have some concern and please start telling employees if they are going to be laid off so they can start looking for jobs. The spouses of the employees think this is a horrendous way you were handling the situation

Someone should notify Kool and the Gang and Pink Floyd their music is being used by Allstate. How can they afford to pay the royalties? Our expenses are WAY TO HIGH in the market GS said over and over.

Was interesting the Town Hall lead with that this time. Confirms what I thought : HR and who knows what other home office blowhards follow the posts on this board. I’m surprised I haven’t seen a “What does a Lay-off.com Lurker do?” position article... — read more 

Honestly, where the he!! is Wilson. He's been missing since the June 11th meeting to most of us commoners. Is he on the freaking lam or something? Did they freeze him like Walt Disney? It's incredible he hasn't shown his toupee during all this... — read more 

Jim stated in the meeting that we will have 60 days to leave the company after we find out if we are considered redundant, and that if we leave before those 60 days are up we won’t get our severance package. If a company offers you a job, they... — read more 

Making everyone wait to see who is in the “thousands” bucket is terrible. I can already see the morale plummeting. A lot of talent is going to leave out of fear because they just keep dragging this out slowly. These are not the Allstate values they... — read more 

Just when you think you’ve settled into a corporate company that isn’t “just like all the others.” I suppose that no one should be surprised that this is happening, regardless of what you thought of Allstate prior to Transformative Growth being... — read more
