I plan on giving my notice soon… how does one go about transferring their 401k? Do I contact HR or go through the company the 401k is through? I think it’s fidelity.

Let's be honest, the only thing that I can say is good about Allstate right now are the benefits we're getting. Which, of course, makes me worry that they'll find a way to mess with them sometime soon. What are the chances of that happening and us... — read more 

Anyone register for it?

What is needed here is a union. Look at how well they have worked out for Ford, GM, and government workers for the last 50 plus years. Before all the union haters jump in, this board is about preventing Sudan layoffs/bs performance firing and a... — read more 

It seems to me that there is no chance that those at the top will accept that it is their fault for the situation at Allstate, and not the employees who, in their opinion, never do enough. Personally, I think Allstate has great employees given the... — read more 

The coworkers who you thought were friends - aren’t. For those you interact with and consider your friends while you’re at work, I bet that once you leave the company - it’s out of sight, out of mind. For example, I haven’t heard from any of my... — read more 

I know I am, and I tell anyone who asks to not get insurance through them.

Does anyone here know what Terrance will reveal to the EA's today? Supposedly big (and probably bad) news for EAs

When was the last major round?

Allstate is really doomed. I do not understand their logic according to which this way of managing a company is sustainable in the long run. No, I don’t intend to do work for several people anymore. Rarely is anyone with any talent really... — read more 

I think this company is most undermined by the arrogance of those at the top who think there are still a lot of those who won’t mind their talent being devalued here. I too have a hard time accepting that this company is not like it used to be, but... — read more 

Single point of contact to occur next month. Encompass/Nat Gen/AIA. Probably be the timing of more layoffs too???

And it feels so good! Very vindicating! Come at me, I do not give a sh*t.

We were told on April 9 in a very informal email that we had 90 days to our return company car and to fill out a Word document checklist to complete the return. Since April 9 none of our Auto team has heard anything more regarding company car return... — read more 

I hope everyone in our Chicago offices are okay. We are still co-workers no matter how bad things are and need to look out for each other. https://weather.com/news/news/2021-06-21-tornado-suburban-chicago-woodridge

Was anyone able to make sense out of that? They “will be launching a department wide skills and interests mapping exercise. Each employee will take a comprehensive survey of legal and broad-based skills and interests. They will capture your current... — read more 

I currently have triple the amount of files right now than I normally do going into a Monday. I'm actually starting to work on them now at 1am. Between having a holiday off (how dare us!), more than 40 adjusters lost to the CCC starting today, and... — read more 

I don't know a single manager, not to mention anybody from the ELT, who has tried to boost morale in the past several years. I mean genuinely tried, not just spewing out the usual platitudes. No attempts were made to reduce the number of people... — read more 

I am one of the 40 adjusters moving to the CCC starting Monday as a part of the CCC's new Claims Engagement Team. No more adjysting, no more making excuses with pi---d off shops of this company. No more 12+ hour days just to keep my job, no more... — read more 

Straight down. “Talent assessments” i.e., Wr already decided who were going to lay off but are using this stupid assessment to make it look legit. Run lawyers, run!

I could see the writing on the wall in 2020. I left after 22 years with my pension, 401(k). No worries. I had a job within two weeks. Right now is the best time to look for a new job. It is always easiest to look for a job while you have a job. I am... — read more 

Job requirements at Allstate: We're looking for someone with the wisdom of a 50-year old, the experience of a 40-year old, the drive of a 30-year old, and the pay scale of a 20-year old. Stolen from here:... — read more 

Do you constantly feel like they are going to get rid of you? Most Allstate employees constantly feel like they are about to get axed. How healthy is that for employees? How much does it benefit Allstate itself? The situation here has never been... — read more 

OK, they know how to give bad excuses for those cuts. Do you remember any good moves lately? I don't. They make the most of the fact that some of us have a hard time getting a new job. However, if they continue like this, I am afraid that very... — read more 

There will be meetings starting in the next two weeks to address talent assessments and RIF to follow. I don’t care who is going to call BS. For the rest of us with a non delusional mind, do with this info what you like.

Someone mentioned the app in one of the posts and I would love to know why that app is so bad? Is it possible they couldn’t have made it better? I don't get whether it is made to bring in customers or to drive away customers? /s.

There is no clear career path for me at Allstate and I am very aware of that. It’s high time to consider a new approach because I’m stuck here in a job with no possibility of progression and I’m just wasting my time. I would love to stay in this... — read more 

Allstate did a great job 👏 ruining the morale and motivation of the associates left behind after their RIF tactics of 2020. Now with pandemic waning, people are leaving ASAP for other jobs, disability, or retirement. With a ton of customer service... — read more 

People are quick to complain but slow when it comes to improving themselves and creating better opportunities for the future. Allstate is not a good place to work, we all already know that. There's not much we can do to change that. But what you can... — read more 

Since Encompass employees make more than Nat Gen ones, does that mean most if not all Encompass employees will be let go during the next RIF? Nat Gen is doing so much hiring and I'm sure at lower salaries which is what Allstate wants. Why is... — read more 

Will they hold a townhall meeting again to announce the assessments?

It just means that Allstate learns nothing from its mistakes, that leadership goes from mistake to mistake, and that there is no hope for this company. I totally agree when someone said that it wouldn’t be a surprise if Allstate ended up as Sears... — read more

Per a meeting today, these assessments will be given in August.

I read posts saying Allstate is doing the right thing because today’s customers ONLY care about a “low price.” Customers only care about price to a point…and that point comes at the first claim moment of truth… You can be sure that they are not... — read more
