I still have nightmares from working there.
3/22 meeting?
What went on? New layoffs?
Would be a shame if...
Someone has been in contact with an organization like Project Veritas for the last couple years and has been sending them every thing DEI, TG, and layoff related and a big expose is in the works... If only...
What is your opinion on the Alleghany purchase?
How does this impact the industry? Warren Buffett is buying Alleghany in a deal valued at almost $12 billion. What are your thoughts?
Turnover is high for a good reason
If anybody wonders why turnover is so high, here are just a few reason off the top of my head: Management chooses favorites, screws over everybody else There is little to no room for advancement Hours are bad and work/life balance is... — read more
Who else is tired of The term “Transactional Growth”?
Such a lame excuse of a plan that is failing market share.
I wonder how Glenn treat the employees that work for his animal charity
Would be interesting to know..
Long play
Allstate is forecasting continued inflation and long term struggles for the average American. This is the reason for the current positioning. People will be looking for the lowest cost option during the recession vs paying more for quality service... — read more
It's a big mess when someone leaves
In fact, this place was always disorganized, but given the large turnover, it's now become very noticeable. I am always worried when one of my colleagues announces that he or she is leaving, because after that there is chaos over who will take over... — read more
Offices start reopening March 21st
Per email from HR. Starting with Merchandise Mart in Chicago on 3/21. We were told this morning Hudson re-opens sometime in May. Does anyone really believe their numbers that about half of all employees want to return to the office? Said department... — read more

New bonus program
How desperate of a move is it to try to entice employees with customer retention/growth? Oh yeah now I will try harder to retain customers with the limited time I already have…. We averaged 1.5% last year and you can bet your a-s it’ll be lower this... — read more
Why isn’t Brandt doing more to help front line workers
A lot of people say he cares about front line workers, but what is he really even doing to help them?
Leadership is too busy with themselves
Sometimes it seems to me that leadership is so busy with themselves that they forget to lead. Everyone here is more interested in the future of Allstate than they are. What are some results or improvements in this company that they have... — read more
Capitalism strikes again
Allstate is being ran the same way America has been ran for hundreds of years. By exploiting cheap labor to maximize gains. And just like the other times, the 1% laughs at us all while you blame the brown people for stealing your job. And just like... — read more
Is there an end to it?
I am aware that we cannot influence leadership decisions but I still cannot be completely indifferent to what is happening here, at least as long as I am still here. How much longer will Allstate continue to hire overseas? Is there an end to this... — read more

Voluntary separation opportunities were provided to selected bonus level leaders in 2021. Any credible insight on whether they take another shot at thinning the herd to reduce expenses or make room for coveted external talent in 2022?
Offshore jobs
Why are we using India when they oppose is in the UN regarding Russian invasion? Allstate, get on the right side of PR, why support India?
Will Cheryl make the next announcement…
Will they leave Cheryl to make the announcement this time while the rest of the roaches hide in the back out of camera range?? I remember the look on her face reading from her legal approved script that went through 20 revisions….she looked like she... — read more
Sad
This company let me go at a time that was critical in my career, professionally, personally and financially. All these new and existing employees do not think this can happen to them. I didn’t either. I was successful my entire career with... — read more
Biggest challenges Allstate faces nowadays
One of the biggest challenges Allstate faces nowadays is how to find employees who are cheap, work efficiently with quality and are ready to invest themselves in this company. That is a fact. Any thoughts on what are the other big challenges?
Q1 claims meeting?
What was said at the claims Q1 meeting today (3/10)?
Do you have “cut rate coverage”
It is so ironic that Allstate now longs to be the “cut rate coverage” that their ads warned consumers about for years…… The only thing that I fear is ever being hit by someone insured by this monstrosity and have to give up my first born to received... — read more
Moving jobs overseas
Moving jobs overseas may have some positive effects on the company in the short term. I can't even imagine how big those savings are. However, in the long run, I think this strategy will result in a major disaster. I'm pretty sure of that. However... — read more
Any rumors on any offices closing or reopening
Has anyone heard anything?
Tom and Glenn do care.
They care about shareholder profit first, but ultimately they do care about the employees and their ability to take care of their of their families. They aren’t that cold hearted
Will jobs come back to the USA?
With the global conflict in full swing and with India’s support not aligned with the USA, will Tom and Glen bring the jobs back to the homeland ?
Legal Council ?
Any news on Legal? seeing a lot of faces coming and going lately .
Massively disorganized
I don't understand how we're not losing more money considering how disorganized Allstate is. All the management is doing is attempting to maintain the status quo by making sure employees work against each other instead of with each other and ignoring... — read more
Don’t get burnt
Don’t get burnt because it’s not worth it. It is better to save energy and nerves for another company. I feel really bad when I see my colleagues who are completely burned, but still work somehow. I am almost certain that more than 70% of Allstate... — read more
Return to office
Now that covid 19 is winding down and president Biden has said he wants workers to return to office, does anyone think we will go back? Any rumors or any office locations?
This company is a joke
An absolute joke. I don't understand how you can honestly tell your employees that by reinventing the wheel they should be rates as Expected. Do you want to set the precedence for your company to become stagnant/complacent, then keep doing what you... — read more
Hudson gutted. Still giving away funiture.
Went to the Hudson center for their curbside office furniture giveaway. Desk chairs, filing cabinets, desks, partitions, cafeteria chairs and tables all lined up on the sidewalk and being loaded in your vehicle all you want. Took home quite a haul. ... — read more
"All Hands on Deck" meeting on 3/22/2022
Uh oh. This is how it ALL started in April 2020. With this same type of meeting denying any layoffs on the table and then 60 days later announcing layoffs would happen. They are about a month earlier this go around.
The pressure is growing
It's getting worse here day by day. Is it possible that the management is not aware of the pressure on employees and that because of that pressure we are losing people who are not easy to replace? They don’t even seem to be aware that... — read more

I just hope it doesn't get any worse
Of course I’m not happy here, but since I still can’t get anything better, my only hope is that it won’t get worse here. I hope not. Otherwise, I would accept any other job and I would not be picky at all.
No Severance For Claims...because we are not getting laid off
They will be repurposing us into a CCC or ATSC frontline role. Our group was told this Friday as we are being move to CCC. Way short staffed there and not moving those areas to India. Not hiring new hires but replacing with tenured talent. That is... — read more
