Think they will for once be transparent in a town hall and talk about the layoffs?
Big news in claims town hall
Hold on tight
So it has to be obvious to everyone by now!
Following the destruction resulting from Hurricane Ian, and Eric Brandt's firm, decisive, and dare I say loving leadership in the crisis... ...clearly Eric is THE leader for the future of Allstate!
ALL back above $130!!
Bet Tom and Glenn are happy about that
DSM messaging
Was anyone else on the call where the DSM said we are sending staff to FL to ‘make it seem as if we care?’ Unbelievable. Prime example of how detached some of the higher ups are. Sad
How will Allstate do???

Does AT&T's Lump-Sum Drop Apply to Allstate?
I saw that AT&T sent a memo to their employees warning them that they will lose up to 30% on their lump-sums due to rising interest rates. Will Allstate employees experience a similar drop in lump-sum... — read more
Has anyone heard the timeframe when layoffs/vendors will happen
I know some depts like ASIC and RMBC were told layoffs/vendors could happen last month but they never game a timetable. I think they did that to have people quit
CCC TAKES NEW BUSINESS QUOTE AND BINDS IT - LEAVES EA EGENT IN DUST
An EA has a customer with allstate homeowners paper. Over the weekend his customer called to uy a home policy. If forwrd to CCC and they bound the quote that the producer at the office created. The bound policy has the subproducer code on it. Now... — read more
TEST VS RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE
You use a test to select. Then those who test and are selected leave, because they really didn’t do the job before and now they don’t want to because it IS demanding and they can’t. It is never “just” a test. You have to look at the individual... — read more
PTO granted for Black Friday & Christmas!!!
I’ve only been at my new job 6 months & I was approved for Black Friday & Christmas PTO! Just saying - what good is PTO if you are denied when you want to use it? The grass IS greener at other insurers!
End of 3rd quater…
…do you think we will get an update soon on RIFs since the 3rd quarter ends this week?
Hurricane time
The response to this event should be pure comedy to watch. If you are in claims and looking to make a move, nows your chance to go somewhere and make a ton of money. If you stay you can rest assure that you will be disgustingly overworked even more... — read more
Anyone lost key contacts within allstate and everything got worse?
I worked with a man in security, risk area, who left about a month ago and now has bigger and better pay. I don’t blame him, he left before he got a job. From what I seen he became distant over the space of a few months. What I’m not a fan of is... — read more
Wouldn't it stink to get RIFed next week vs. this week and miss the better lump sum pension payouts that change after 11/30?
Is it a bridge too far to think that could be part of the plan?
They don't have a clue who the best employees are
Allstate doesn't care enough to know who the best employees are, who does the most work, who has the best skillset, and so on. That's why there's no point in even trying to make an extra effort here. Why there are still those who strive to be... — read more
It is greener on the other side!
I left Allstate over a year ago. I’m more present in my conversation with family, and much happier at my new place of employment! I also got a huge raise thinking I would have to take a pay cut, which was wrong! I feel bad for the ones left at... — read more
Pension Lump Sum Lower than my Co-worker
My pension lump sum is NOT as high as my coworker ? Does anyone know why? My co worker told me his numbers after 20 years and mine with be 50% LOWER after 20 years. I came from Geico in 2014? What am I missing.
Allstate Executives
The men and women who make up the executive team really do care about middle class workers!!
Leave Allstate or leave insurance?
I'm looking for a new job and mostly apply for jobs in this industry, but I'm wondering if maybe it's best to leave the industry. Unfortunately, I don't have enough transferable skills to apply for a job that I would really like to get in another... — read more
No balance
If I used to have some kind of work/life balance before, now I don't have it at all. Overloaded with work, I feel like I'm constantly working and I'm totally exhausted. I desperately need to find something new soon. Does anyone here actually... — read more
Worried? It IS better at other carriers
I left Allstate 6 months ago. I was worried about layoffs even though I worked 7 days a week. At my new job I am not micromanaged anywhere near to the extent I was at Allstate. When I review a demand, it is not picked apart line by line by someone... — read more
BROUGHT UP QUESTION OF RETURN TO OFFICE TO LEADERS TODAY
Had our monthly department town hall about returning to office requirements today. We are not of any one location but we all at one point were in an office before the pandemic. We were told that while they do not know of any firm dates or... — read more
Weekly Eric Brandt fluffing post
Describe how Eric Brandt's leadership and personal example has inspired you to become a better person.
Pension Interest Rates
How many experienced folks will Big Blue lose over these pension interest rates? Many long-time employees will take a huge hit if they stay passed November. Get ready for a mass exodus.
Why are many disappointed when they finally get promoted?
The thing is that Allstate looks for 2 thing, people to either get promoted to get more money and stay or for people to take that small raise each year and not leave. The ones that don't like what is going on leave, and that is why I gave my... — read more
Why Do We Even Still Have Agents?
instead of layoffs in the claims operations, where the only actual work gets done, why didn't allstate just lay off every single agent? they have no purpose. nothing they do can't be done by the general number and a website where people can pick and... — read more
Few still see a future at Allstate
Everybody knows this is true for us older employees who've been here long enough to see the company go from a decent to a terrible place to work, but this is now true even for new hires. Just ask anybody who joined in the last few years what their... — read more

Co-worker had heart attack from work stress today
Ambulance took him from home to hospital. His wife said he has been having a really tough time mentally with stress from his work and has been very depressed the last few months. She fully contributed this to Allstate and what it has done to him. I... — read more
If Inflation is 10% and my raise was 3% and is my REAL SALARY now 7% less that it was a year ago?
Should I complain and do I stand any chance of righting this wrong.
Another Town Hall
Another meeting with no mention of layoffs. I’m just going to have to go and stop waiting for it to happen. I wish I was old enough to retire.
A way for Allstate to retain the remaining talented employees
Certainly there are many more, but one of the ways for this company to keep some good employees who are still here and thus slow down its decline - is not to make more pushes for return to the office. It is not the first time that I hear from... — read more
Can anyone confirm what severence will be if laid off
I have seen on this site at least 5 years tenure but have seen two weeks for every year and also 1 week for every two years. Which is accurate or have you heard something different?
Geico is unionizing
Read it and weap.i just want to know what's stopping you guys still there?
Anyone know when CCC unlicensed getting their notice?
They already moved the CCC person's helping in claims back to CCC and separated teams by licensed and unlicensed. We know unlicensed CCC is being outsourced almost completely but any known timeframe?
You must be on the move all the time
There are many complaints from those who are stuck here expecting a promotion that never came. I would never risk losing so much time stuck on one job. The most important thing is to know when to quit. Why don't people learn from the experience of... — read more
What kind of horrible company tries to scare its workforce to quit?
That is all these announcements are. Further demoralizing and creating a hostile and fear filled environment to try and stress and depress their workforce into quitting so a few rich shareholders and overpaid officers can run off with a little more... — read more
