Too many things are wrong
I've been a field adjuster with Allstate for some time now. HR did their geographical mapping in all areas to determine who they will involuntary terminate their positions. It looked like Ray Charles picked these adjusters. I was one of them. Does... — read more
Anyone receive severance payment yet?
I'm in the So Cal area and speaking with others that were also laid off it looks like no payments have been made yet at least in this market.
Anyone know about unemployment??
Can a person draw unemployment after being laid off while waiting on a severance package? I have a feeling that Allstate will drag their feet getting the severance payment out. Just wondering if anyone knows... Thanks in advance.
This could have been handled much better
I can't speak for everyone, and I can't blame Allstate for wanting to stay up on technology even if that means letting some go. But this had to be in the making. Why hire someone, have them relocate knowing full well they are going to be laying them... — read more
For those who say Allstate didn't have layoffs
Of course they try to keep it as quiet as possible. It's only announced if they are legally required to or a reporter gets wind of it. Get you head out of the sand... — read more

Layoffs are happening, Allstate is just keeping them on the low

So, is this still supposed to be an announcement date?
QuickFoto Claim is not working
Express employee here. Qfc is a complete disaster. We will be losing so many customers. I take calls from just as many older customers who don't use technology, as younger folks who do. So to the customers who have been with us for 20+ years we are... — read more

July 18th announcement? ??
So whomever posted about this "announcement " on the 18th why have you not responded to the inquiries about what it's for?
Continuous Improvement
So, who else had their meeting? What do you think will come from it? I see a lot of accountability, and a lot of rude awakenings!
This has to change
How do you let our voice be heard? Our insureds will suffer, claimants as all can attest are always dirt to Allstate....how can QFC continue? Every shop I know hates, already hates Allstate by reputation = now it's obvious they are screwing out... — read more

What to expect?
With how they laid off people in a very secretive manner on June 14, I really doubt the July 18 announcement will be for layoffs. Remember, "impacted" (laid off) employees were emailed an invite the DAY BEFORE to join a conference call that was... — read more
Allstate will lose market share they are trying to cut costs
I wish management would read this board, but that's to much to ask they don't even ask workers for input. Home office puts things in place and does not realize the negative effect it has on the company. I've meant a lot of people at Allstate that... — read more
