How would you spend your 60 day notice?
Aside from taking earned PTO what would your normal "work day" look like if you your given your 60 day notice?
Hearing no guarantee of severance?
Hearing that severance is not a guarantee as Allstate may be using the "60 day notice" in place of standard severance. Severance likely only offered for higher pay bands and tenure levels if at all. Not good if what is going around about this pans... — read more
Any word on Auto technical?

Allstate Employee Slow Death
Allstate employees started being affected negatively when Jerry Choate retired in the 90s. He was a homegrown product of the company and really valued its employees. He was replaced by Ed Liddy in 1999 and that’s when the suffering began as he was... — read more
No News, Good News
Any other time this would be true. Not if you're an Allstate employee.
Horrendous leadership
If this senior leadership team is the “best of the best” that Allstate has to offer, Allstate is in serious trouble. This has been the perfect example of what NOT to do during a time of anxiety and stress to your customer facing employee base. Poorly... — read more
60 Day Notice
What departments have received their day notice so far? Please confirm the region in which you are located.
Allstate Management
It seems like the Cleveland Browns front office is running this company. It has been an ongoing debacle for a few years and the last month encapsulates it. Prove me wrong.
Hints
I knew something was wrong when *Tom recently wore a pink sweater. He was hinting “pink slips” coming. He’s old fashioned like that. *He/Glenn also stopped letting us have cake on our office monthly birthday celebrations. *Last year when he... — read more

Help answer me this? “Transparency moment”
What jobs are eliminated, or has the take the assessment? I’m not looking for opinions, I’m looking for facts. Only thing I know is my job is still under review.
Unrepped
Do you think urepped major would be affected the same as moderate or LDU? There usually much lower in head count than the other teams.
Pathetic
If you had any faith in leadership before this played out, it should be gone now.. Scheduling meetings just to cancel them.. Can’t decide how they want this to play out... Now there is talk that the assessments may be on a legal hold. Who is... — read more

Why are people quitting?
Two coworkers quit this week. Not laid off, walked out on their own. Why would anybody do that? If you want to leave, chances are you won't have to wait for too long before being laid off - and then you leave with at least some money in your pocket!... — read more

Stock vs. policies
If you have not already done so, dump your Allstate policies... Keep your Allstate stock...It will be fun to give a NO Proxy vote when Wilson and the members of the board come up for election.....
Webcams
Did any other offices get a notice that Allstate would be issuing webcams to their employees while working from home? Seems pointless if they're making cuts.
Layoff Decisions
Who do you thinks is making the call to cut certain employees? CSL's or RCL's?

Next shoe to drop
Drip, drip Every day brings a new shoe to drop In this continuing saga.... What will we wake up to tomorrow??
High Anxiety -
Will be happy to get the news about LDU and UNREPD in Florida. We need a break from the uncertainty. With COVID 19, civil unrest and the election campaign, this is almost too much to bare.
Consumer reports expose on pricing model
Rather than apply the new rates all at once, Allstate asked the Maryland Insurance Administration for permission to run each policy through an advanced algorithm containing dozens of variables that would adjust it in the general direction of the... — read more

Test refusal
How awesome would it be if no one took the test ?????
Tom Wilson
Tom Wilson should be ashamed of himself. The “Allstate way”. Yes the Allstate way is treating your employees like c-ap and laying off 8% of the workforce. Tom Wilson s—s!
