Even in normal, non-COVID, times this plan of telling us in June that our jobs were in jeopardy but waiting until October to finalize it is nothing short of sadistic. Most companies would not be so slow and transparent. It almost seems like we are... — read more
Push yourself always
Used to work for a competitor and I was laid off close to my 15 year mark. I liked working there, it was a great place. It was also however like a warm blanket for a long nap. Do not ever get complacent at work. You may think you are super well... — read more

I will do the bare minimum of work until I know for sure. They can keep me working until their designated time but I will be taking it easy af.
Oh my goodness
I can’t take anymore months of this. How do we continue like this?! This is just wrong wrong wrong.
Leadership definitely reads this forum
Ha! Let me answer a question that I happened to see in the forum I mean was emailed to me. And also let me see how I can spin this around. How can we spend 4 billion on nat gen when we are trying to cut expenses.
No Recordings
They are monitoring this forum. There were a number of posts about recording meetings and now they started the meeting telling us no recordings allowed.
The audacity to play “celebration” right before the meeting
This is just becoming ridiculous people.
Celebrate?
Poor choice of opening songs
Just tell us
Seriously, just tell us if we have 60 days from today or 60 days from September etc... You said we in claims will know by the end of this month-stick by what you say. You drill it in us to hold ourselves accountable to customers when setting... — read more

I'm still trying to figure out why Wilson/Upper Management decided to announce the layoffs on that June 11th call. What was the benefits to them for doing so? Did they think it was going to go smoother & happen faster? Did they think people would... — read more
They are targeting short tenure employees
They are actually moving many to other less desirable positions at a reduction in pay up to 10% to avoid severance payouts as much as possible. They are quite open in the position that if they are going to pay people anything that they are going to... — read more

I’m not one to take a handout or more than I need. I have a family, bills to pay, and need to work. I haven’t been with the company that long, and I’m fearful that if I get laid off, that 60 days will go fast without having a new job lined up. The... — read more
Town hall Video/Notes
We have all made jokes about the obviously, but what does everyone think the real reason the 6/11 town hall notes/video were not made available is?
Puzzles
Was anyone else on that town hall when TW talked about loving puzzles and being part of a book club, to try to sound relatable......LOL
Has anyone thought of this?
Allstate is going from 14 regional zones to 4. Arizona, Chicago, Dallas, and North Carolina. How are the other 10 offices going to be impacted? How would Allstate allow you to reside in another state outside of your zone? I have done some research... — read more
