Does anyone think upper mgmt and executives are reading and/or writing some of these comments?
Where is the recording of Tom Wilson's townhall conference call??
Has anyone else noticed that the recording of Tom's townhall where he announced that "thousands" will be laid off has not been released? This is also the same townhall where he kept saying "black people". And using the phrase is offensive to some... — read more
Hiring
So how can they be hiring for LDU Adjusters if they are laying off. Hiring for LDU in Charlotte. Hired new LDU Adjusters after the pandemic. This makes no sense. Confused??
Hiring
So they are hiring for LDU in Charlotte. How can they be hiring if they are going to layoff LDU Adjusters. They were hiring for LDU after the pandemic. Why would you hire and then layoff? Makes no sense!!
This is a VERY important (and timely) article about share buybacks
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/stock-buybacks-gouged-workers-the-measure-stopping-them-comes-too-late/2020/03/27/d6170752-6fcb-11ea-b148-e4ce3fbd85b5_story.html What's wild is the headline itself: "The Stimulus halts a corporate trick... — read more
Layoffs explained for those on the Kool-aid
Th people saying these layoffs make sense after the Trump corporate tax breaks Allstate received and the stock buybacks are company boot licking sheep. Everyone who is a loyal, hard working active Allstate employee should be angry at how this was... — read more
Auto Appraisal
Does anyone have any info on the amount of RIFs that will take place in the auto appraisal dept,, DOCs & field appraisal teams???
Allstate, 2020’s Enron
What they are doing right now (lay-offs in conjunction with buybacks) is one of the most egregious examples of corporate greed this country has seen since the likes of Enron and WorldCom. The executives know it, too. Which is why they don't... — read more
Every employee on Monday (6/29) should do this
Nothing from my post two weeks ago has changed (please refer to it below). The executives will talk til they are blue in the face (pun intended) about the "reasons" why layoffs are necessary: They have been surpassed by Progressive and Geico; they... — read more
Future of LDU Claims
Does anyone know what the plan for LDU claims is?
Assessment
So I was told if you get a assessment, you on the chopping block. If you don't, you are safe. They are getting rid of the MCO's. Getting rid of processors. My manager says this is what she is being told. The RCLs know already who is going. They... — read more
Layoffs
Does anyone know when the first round of layoffs is actually going to happen?
Opposite of transparency
Stop saying we are being transparent at every meeting! You already know who is being cut and why (Greed). A tiny pay cut from top execs and Allstate would meet their goals. This is the worst possible and most unethical time to make job cuts. Just... — read more
More cuts, same amount of work= even worse workload on those who make it THIS ROUND
The people that make this round of cuts will be doing more work with less staff. The workload was already insane due to previous cuts. It’s an unhealthy place to work with people putting in 60 plus hours a week for ok pay. Tom Wilson and other top... — read more
Where is the work going to go?
When the dust settles and the company has been down sized, is not the same amount of work going to be there with less people to do it? Just wondering if there is a plan here other than just saving money.
Career building nonsense
Good job Allstate!!! Announce mass layoffs, I mean transformative growth, then offer career building seminar and limit it to 1000 employees knowing many more would be interested in a company of 30,000+!!! Way to go!!! We are in good hands, full of... — read more
Get out while you can
Get out while you can, I’ve never worked anywhere that truly hates their employees as much as Allstate does. Layoffs, the ridiculous “week without pay”, declining benefits, toxic fear based culture. I’ve never seen such learned helplessness and... — read more
I'm losing all work-related motivation
All these layoffs happening all the time and the threat of being cut constantly hanging over my head have k–led any motivation I had left to do my job properly. And why would I bother to give it my all? If I'm not laid off in this round, chances are... — read more
Boycott Allstate
Good ol’ boys CEO/COO millionaires club making billions in profit annually still plan to cut jobs during a global recession and global pandemic while people worldwide are dying and struggling. Unconscionable.
Any RIF's new to report?
Any updates out there?
Exploiting cheap labor in India
Allstate has turned to paying low wages with no benefits in India, laying off more expensive employees in other countries. You’re not in good hand with rich multi-millionaires running the show, exploiting cheap foreign labor. They claim they care... — read more
Absolutely poor leadership starting at the top

Premiums continue to rise for all customers
Agents took a 1% Decrease in Renewal Commissions saving Allstate about 500M per year. 3700 Employees @ 100K per year average = 370M per year Yet, Premiums continue to rise for all customers. ALL Stock will continue to respond well in the... — read more
Pandemic/Covid19 excuse. Shame on Allstate
Allstate has become a greedy company only caring about profit/stocks-shareholders. Our top CEO’s make millions in annual salary, with employee salaries and staff shrinking leaving employees drowning. Allstate has been exploiting/taking advantage of... — read more
What about NY PIP claims?
This is so stressful and depressing. I haven’t heard anything about anything about NY, specifically PIP And BI (Bodily Injury) claims. Has anyone heard anything?
What is happening with casualty adjusters and UM adjusters
I am am unrep UM/UIM adjuster. I've been with the company a few years and have always had good PDS reviews both in LDU and now in UM. I've consistently hit every metric and on my team I usually lead in closures each month. My CSL told me that usually... — read more
You are NOT in good hands

4 Zones??
How do you think these 4 hubs will work?
Morale at an all time low
Knowing that you will Possibly be laid off doesn’t help morale. How much do your metrics even matter at this point? If they don’t lay you off now they will soon enough. For those in the layoff you get to participate in skill assessments. Assessing... — read more
Is Allstate Roadside Services (ARS) being dissolved?
It's been a loser since we bought it from GE!
Timeline of Layoffs??
Does anyone have further information about when the layoffs will begin? I have a sinking feeling it's going to start this week. And anyone know which areas will be affected first?
Anyone in legal have any inside info?
Any idea how hard legal will be hit? Any word on combining offices? Does anyone have any idea about how they will be deciding who is leaving- will rating, seniority, etc. be a factor?
No one is safe
My department was hit with a huge staff reduction a year ago and we were overwhelmed with work. I thought we would be safe as we were at a minimal staffing level and could barely keep up with the workload, often falling behind. A few months ago, they... — read more
Inspire Survey - Will it be used for deciding layoffs?
Does anyone know if the Inspire Survey we just took will be taken into consideration when laying people off? Our manager is horrible and as far as I know, received horrible marks/ratings. I do hope upper mgmt looks at these results and takes them... — read more
Doesn't surprise me at all!
Getting rid of employees is nothing new to Allstate. They got rid of over 6500 agents in 2000 and let them choose to be independent contractors for Allstate or hit the road. Higher commissions were offered and many agents had too much invested to... — read more
