What was the general view of him as a President at Esurance and what exactly is him role at Allstate ?

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks."

Can confirm that each area and team lead knows the impact to their team or teams. They already know how many need to go in each and how it will impact each of the countries that Allstate has a presence in. They have been told that all info must... — read more

I don't know. Why can't they just announce who is going and who is staying. Maybe I'll apply to Geico... I just don't understand their justification by saying they're doing layoffs then not announcing who is going? It's terrible.

If you were laid of by Allstate and you got a chance to re-apply a month or two or even a year later either for your old job or something else, would you do it? Would you willingly return to this place? For me personally, the only way I would... — read more
