I've been here for 25 years. When I just started I was satisfied with most things regarding work and I enjoyed my job. Over the years that changed gradually, and now I'm at the point where I hate my job and everything about it. I have no intention of... — read more
Encompass bye bye?
Seems like as Encompass rolls into National General the Encompass employees will disappear with it. Anyone know more about that? Even though Allstate purchased National General, seems like they are running the show and to heck with Encompass... — read more
How much does a lower manager have an impact on who gets laid off?
Ours is claiming he has none and that the orders come from higher tiers. I don’t really believe him.
EVP Elizabeth Brady literally sold toilets (Kohler) and she's taking Allstate down the toilet
Another C suite oddity is head of HR Carrie Blair joined ALL in 2019. Looks like she was fired from Sun LIfe and it took her 1+ years to find anything. They just needed a body before they started massive layoffs and firings.
ZERO training!
I have never experienced a company that expects the training of newly hired and/or transferred employees to be done by already overworked employees. Unbelievable. And when you need help, you’re told to consult the online database because they... — read more
Wilson Shapiro Brandt health insurance
People complaining about Allstate health insurance should know that these guys have the exact same coverage as regular employees. There health insurance situation is no different and costs the same.
Understaffed, hiring + layoffs
Why do you think that if your department is understaffed or if Allstate is hiring, there will be no layoffs? People seem to forget very quickly that everything is possible at Allstate, that layoffs don’t make any sense and that this company... — read more
And so the show begins for the SCO...
Just got the email that Gerard will be speaking as to the assessments we took, sounds lovely.
Wilson and Shapiro health insurance
When people complain about high health insurance prices, remember that Wilson and Shapiro have the exact same plans that regular employees do, so they are in the same boat.
Customers only care about price until……
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 sticking around for poor claim service or low ball claim payments when they have a claim regardless of price…... — read more
Mid July will be ground zero all around
That's the talk going around. Multiple areas. Multiple departments. Multiple levels from grunts on up. All I have.
Is it just me or all the allstate commercials weird
State farm has the best commercials
A Corp dinosaur facing extinction
Ive been reading the typical pro-company id--t responses to issues raised, and I see you the home office damage control id--ts follow like lemmings. "What does A 'Reputation Management Cyber Controller Subject Matter Expert do" (who is grade 2 and... — read more
Why couldn’t they provide better health insurance?
If you're going to complain about a benefit that has gotten worse over time, the health insurance is the worst I've ever had. I can't believe they couldn't work out a better plan given the size of the company. Exactly! Is there anyone who can... — read more
Another one bites the dust
Two more senior level attorneys are "no longer with the firm". I am the paralegal for one of them and am nervous.
Tom Wilson-Sears?
How was Wilson’s reputation as a Sears executive? As the CFO of Allstate? I assume they must have been good, considering he got the CEO job??
Am I living under a rock?
After reading all the posts regarding the “many” layoffs that have taken place, I feel as if I have been completely sheltered from any news from within the company. Personally, I don’t know of a single resource that has been laid off. How can... — read more
Home Office Complex Demo?
Went to a neighborhood ( Huntley, Il. ) barbecue this weekend and the conversation turned to Allstate demolishing the Home Office complex on 294 in Northbrook, then selling the prime location for development. Not a shock to hear all things considered... — read more
I had such satisfaction giving my notice yesterday!
The response was so worth leaving them high and dry. I am so excited to do nothing for two weeks except watch them squirm and scramble for a replacement.
Suffering fools
This company won’t lay the real workers off too quick. Stop wishing. They will lay off the hard working adjusters when they are darn good and ready to. India will get well from the pandemic and then it will be a mass US exodus to fulfill Glenn’s... — read more
Have you noticed???
Have you noticed that none of the current Allstate commercials mention a thing about customer service??? Not a word about the quality of service…. Corporate and marketing knows that Allstate sucks in how it services customers….will now ONLY mention... — read more
Are you ready???
Layoff announcements coming within weeks…significant across all pay grades and departments… Once completed, the majority of Allstate operations will be overseas…. Significant layoffs of American based employees will continue through 2023…
Completely calm...
Rumors of layoffs no longer bother me at all. Moreover, I would like to get laid off as soon as possible. How many people do you know for whom the layoff was a great service because they hesitated for a long time and were unsure to leave on their... — read more
3 attorneys at my SCO laid of today

Major layoffs are on the horizon
People at every level have been let go this week and it will continue. Who is looking for a new job?
Multiple higher level retirements announced
The rats are leaving the ship!!
Why are there so many rumors about severance plan change?
I don’t understand, do people like to spread panic or do these rumors really have some real foothold? I don't believe that the severance plan will change, but nothing would surprise me more than this company. Maybe someone misinterpreted the... — read more
CAT Pay Panic
Looks like things are blowing up. They are looking for all sorts of Reps( Auto,LDU, Casualty) to work nights and weekends for CAT Pay. Maybe Tom and Glenn can handle some claims this weekend. Nice mess they created.
2021 Allstate layoff rumors
Has anyone heard anything?
SCO is tanking as we speak
It is incredible what is happened at Staff Counsel office. Attorneys are being displaced with no notice. I survived the first round at my office but they said it is company wide and will continue. I obviously need to look elsewhere now and had no... — read more
Reported New Severance Structure
Per HR contacts the new severance structure was approved in February and will be updated in HR resources by end of June before this year's large layoff rounds. The small number already impacted this year were under the prior structure. The new... — read more
Not sure how much more I can take
With all the layoffs and the work piling up I'm starting to feel like I'm drowning. I'm being pulled in so many directions that sometimes I just want to drop it all walk out and that is something I really can't afford to do right now. But if it... — read more
What would you do differently?
I regret that I didn’t leave this company a few years ago, when I had a chance to move to a great company that turned out to have much more respect for employees than Allstate. It's not Allstate's fault, it's my bad decision. I couldn't even... — read more
How many people did not accept the VTO offer?
Some are already talking about possible dismissals in August, and even those who did not receive the VTO offer are at risk as well. I have no doubt about the latter. I wonder if anyone has any idea or knows more about how many people did not accept... — read more
Stop posting bad things about TW, GS, and EB
Think about how their kids would feel if they saw some of this stuff
How expensive are TW and GS’s homes
How many millions of dollars?
Remote jobs are your friend
There are a lot of unhappy people at Allstate currently who could and should be benefiting from the multitude of available remote jobs right now. There are so many options available that were not there before the pandemic, so if you were looking to... — read more
