At this point, I’m ready to quit without a backup plan. I don’t understand the need for a company to spy on their employees. I’m sure their controlling energy could be used in a better way?
ANI throwing money at celebs
What a kick in the knackers for the hundreds of people over the last 2 years that ANI let go. Social media today full of pics of their big event. Hiring a conference center, catering, games, Virtual Reality stations, music not to mention the costs... — read more
How they can get so many things wrong is beyond me
If management had to spend even a single week working under the same strict rules they’re pushing on us, they’d see how unrealistic and counterproductive they are. It’s easy to make policies from an office far away, but when you’re the one dealing... — read more

Winning! Another great quarter for TW and team.
Big stock move (+5.6%) following "better than expected" earnings per share. The profit improvement plan executed flawlessly with disciplined auto rate increases and underwriting. The chief claim officer no doubt plays a critical role in any... — read more
ANI - Waiting for Redundancy
5 years ago, ANI headcount was approx 2500. Currently its approx 1700. Is everyone waiting for a Payoff or is it just me? Good people with good performance history being let go ; reskilling courses being put on but then the jobs they are reskilling... — read more
My hear me out moment!
If they’re taking away our work, and giving it to a vendor, and not giving us a choice but to go to um/uim, what happens if I say no? I wasn’t hired for that.
Buzzword status
I wish I'd reviewed this site before accepting. The folks I keep in touch with retired, quick quit, or "disappeared" one day from the system. The big acronyms/buzzwords were CI, TG, ASC, and OBD. Are they still going or have they been replaced... — read more

One of the top reasons EA offices are going away.
Back in 2010 -2015 many agents signed up as EA owners. There were some offices with three or four LSP agents and a customer service agent and a receptionist. At the time if you picked an area where there werent alot of offices you could open one. At... — read more

Senior VP of Claims
What happened?
The ultimate indictment of our culture
The most engaged employees are usually the ones who leave first. They still care enough to walk away. Which leaves us with people who don't care and it shows. I'm not attacking anybody, I'm one of them. I give my minimum because I don't care to give... — read more
What to expect in Q3 and Q4
Anyone knows if large cuts may be in works
The corporate talent strategy at Allstate resembles a perverse game of musical chairs
Every quarter, they squeeze in fresh-faced hires at entry-level salaries while quietly ushering out experienced people who've become "too expensive." The irony is they spend thousands recruiting each new hire, then wonder why productivity drops as... — read more

Regarding those Impacted by Security Related Outages Today
Consider this your termination letter from the Z-Man
E5 subscription/ contract
What a racquet by Microsoft. Waste of millions, will never make sense. E5 is way too expensive for what it offers… 100s of features are redundan or underused. Infosec tools are complex : require expert setup, slow to setup, hard to use... Licensing... — read more
Zulfi and his Okta contract
Word in tech sales circles is that big Z signed a $4-10m contract without knowing if Allstate can use Okta. Surprise surprise, we can’t use it. Talk about transformative growth!
Advice
Allstate is a good company. It is NOT the same it was before. And certainly not be for me it went public. I worked there then and was let go in 2020. So, I know! I had a good job and was happy, mostly. If you are not happy. GO. Stop talking about... — read more
Listen up kids

Death Spiral From Too Many New Leaders Due to Forced Retirement
For all their flaws, I don't think I appreciated nearly enough how valuable it was to have sr. and executive leaders who were close enough to retirement to actually stand up for what is right or even just to stand up for a coherent strategy longer... — read more
STAR questions for casualty
How would I go about receiving interview prep for an internal position I applied for in the represented segment? I dont mean shadow someone or have my manager practice with me (I've tried it's not useful to prepare for the interview). I'd like to... — read more
Severance is nothing but a trap
They present the severance package like some generous gift, but let's be real, it's just hush money. The paperwork is designed to make you forfeit any legal claims in exchange for a few weeks' pay. Of course most people sign. When you're suddenly... — read more
I think attrition has reached a new time high
Leadership acts like turnover is normal, but it’s all the good people leaving. The ones left are either checked out or drowning. But sure, let’s pretend it's nothing but “natural attrition.”
New CVS People
On a bright note, the new CVS VP people that come into the circus actually seem like pretty nice and genuine people. When will the lions eat them?
