Would it be illegal?

This may be a d-mb question but would it be illegal to lay off people without giving them severance pay? I haven't been here long, but I'm terrified of the thought that they would cut someone who has worked here for 15 or more years without a... — read more

Screwed on PDS this year

Have been better than expected for the last 5 years and suddenly "expected" with so many opportunity areas. And I actually did more this year with our department reorganization than any other year. Taking on so many more things with all the... — read more 

No severance for 2022

Based on Esurance folks that have no place in NatGen it would appear that severance will not be offered to any layoffs in 2022. Told to find a job within company or leave.

Constantly needing improvement

Does anyone else have a problem that no matter how much you work and no matter how well you work, the manager always makes remarks that you need improvement? In my case, I think it's personal animosity that I'll probably resign very soon. I no... — read more

Two weeks paid if giving notice?

At my last job at another insurance company I gave 2 weeks notice. They said good luck but you have to leave now, and paid me for 2 weeks. Does Allstate do that?

Thank you Progressive

I worked for Allstate for nearly 35 years. Was proud of the work that we did up until about 2017 when Allstate started to really nickel and dime particularly claimants.. A car hit us a few days ago and I prayed that I did not need to deal with... — read more

How different was this company when you applied here?

I was pleasantly surprised when a new person came to the place of colleague who left. I’m pretty sure that person is an exception, because I don’t believe anyone talented and capable wants to come to Allstate anymore. This was a much different... — read more

Esurance Screwed Again

Jobs that can't be outsourced

Chances are that Allstate's strategy is to outsource all the positions it can be outsourced. That's my opinion. I hope to get out of here before my job is outsourced as well. I wonder if there are any positions that this company cannot outsource... — read more 

I left 8 months ago, anything improved?

Left last June, better pay to work for an industry vendor. Hate to see the negativity on this board, sounds like the trend has not reversed. I was nervous to leave. Still work 50-60 hours a week but it’s a much better quality of life. Lower cost but... — read more

Next wave of outsourcing

I'm wondering what is next to be outsourced, any thoughts or inside info on that? In particular, wondering if liability determination, BI evaluations/negotiations, or any other adjuster roles are on the way out.

Reality vs Rumor

The strategy Allstate has been pursuing is actually very similar to the one that was used back in the McKinsey docs but another angle. They know that people are more likely to walk away the more frustrated they become. What is more frustrating than... — read more

Are you hoping to get a raise?

I don't hope any hopes but also I no longer care. Everyone is talking about raise, and even though I've worked myself to exhaustion, I don't think about it at all. I just hope I get a new offer.
