Don't believe the home office shills telling you to stay because the job market is bad. Took me 1 day to find and apply to jobs with better pay and better benefits. Took 3 weeks to go through the interviews I start a new job in a week. The office... — read more
Allstate Sales Agent
How’s the Allstate sales agent and market sales associates positions going? I understand they rolled those out quite a while ago.
Between the fear of cuts and working to exhaustion
Do you people even get enough time to rest? My work life balance no longer exists. I have always despised those whose entire identity comes down to their job, but here I have become such a person by force of circumstances because I no longer have... — read more
Tom and Glenn over Memorial day
What do you think these two Chicago guys are spending their dirty money on over the 3 day weekend?
6 months later
I left voluntarily. Allstate was nothing but a horrible experience for me and I don’t miss it one bit. Since being gone better things have happened for me. My health has improved; I found a new job that I enjoy. I don’t dread going into work anymore... — read more
When are you going back to the office.
For those of you returning to the office on either a hybrid or full time basis, when do you start going back? Also, what about those of you who had your old office closed, but don’t want to be full time WAH?
Highlights of today's claims leadership meeting
Meeting highlights: Need to do better on timeliness of adjusting claims and be careful in overpaying out claims. Scolding us basically on taking too long and paying too much. Claims hurt recent earnings numbers. Still a lot to do in terms of... — read more
Nancy Abraham let go?
Why was the marketing VP from Esurance Abraham let go? Seems she was more talented than some of the Allstate marketing people. She was the one behind the Dennis Quid advertising.
Wilson, Parsons, Brandt, and Shapiro more respect?
What could these executives do at this point to make you respect them even a little bit?
Be sure to complete the Transformative Growth Pulse Survey in your email today.
Failure to do so by the June 4th close date will almost certainly result in a one way ticket to the layoff list. They are testing your engagement.
It's all about respect
I don't expect the company to care for me, but I do expect to be respected. Which I'm currently not. The way Allstate has been treating us, it's obvious that it has nothing but disdain for every single one of us (the ELT excluded.) Just think of all... — read more
Big Claims Leadership Meeting at 10am
I really hate these sudden large scale leadership meetings with such little notice. Went through too many of them last year and the news is never good.
I have never adapted to this culture
I was trying to fit in because it’s very hard to work in a company where you can’t fit into its corporate culture. Sometimes I even think that even those who look very happy here are just a little more skillful at acting than me because acting is the... — read more
Carl Icahn could be a plus
He is known to be an ultra successful investor so with him having a huge stake, that could mean good news for employees and customers.
Carl Icahn news 1% share of Allstate stock
I haven't seen anyone comment on the recent news of "activist investor" (vulture) Carl Icahn announcing he had taken a 1% position in Allstate (that's north of $400 million). This is great news if you hold a sizeable amount of Allstate stock... — read more
How did Julie Parsons get her job??
Considering how bad morale and HR are here, how the he-l did Parsons get her position?
Allstate stock at $135 as of today
This is what Glen and Tom are really getting paid for. Not for taking care of customer or employees.
Tommy, Uncle Glenn, and the BOYZ
We care deeply about each and every one of you. We recently had a record quarter and year for profits! Our bonuses were fat. Thank you workers for being flexible and taking on increased workload and layoffs. You have been great slaves um I mean... — read more
SCO layoffs to occur end of August
Word from my coworker in management is that layoffs for SCO are to occur then. Need to brush up the resume after 6 years :(
Claims getting lit up
First 60 claims processors laid off last week. 40 auto adjusters moving to CCC as a claims help desk for CCC, India being assigned auto/prop files as of this week, and now strong rumblings of large impacts to FNOL coming sometime in June. Buckle... — read more
Technology Layoffs?
Given the large presence of technology staff in India and Northern Ireland, will there be upcoming layoffs in North America?
Please explain
For all you big brains that keep preaching that everyone is getting payed off in claims. How do figure out re-insurance is going to work considering they require staff to handle a large percentage of claims. That’s physical inspections so don’t try... — read more
After you have given notice...
The remaining few days that you still worked in the company - did you do bare minimum, almost nothing, or did you still do the best you could because you didn't want to leave a bad impression in the end?
Jon Adkisson from Esurance
Adkisson would have been a way better executive than Brandt to move from Esurance to Allstate. Plus he was the Esurance CEO Anyone else think it’s weird he wasn’t picked?
Can’t they hire professionals?
No one is interested in working here anymore? I had no doubt that one day this would happen, that no one with any talent would want to work here anymore.
Commercial Specialty Stability
Does anyone have any insight as to how stable commercial specialty is? AKA Uber / Lyft? Or does anyone have any insight regarding those adjuster roles in general as I was thinking about switching to that side
Tom Wilson really got a raise....REALLY??
With all the layoffs, how the he-l did Wilson get a fu----g raise in total compensation from $16 million to $18 million..... Unbelievable.
Update on auto adjusters moving to CCC
A few of us were just told that the 30-40 auto adjusters being moved to CCC third week of June are to be a part if the new "Customer Claims Engagement" group that CCC is building. We will be handling routed calls and chats from CCC service that are... — read more
Who is NOT leaving?
Outside of people who are a couple of years away from retirement, who is planning to stay here indefinitely? How many of you are looking at this as a long-term job? I know most of the new employees are usually looking to leave within a year of... — read more

Without Glenn Shapiro Allstate is 1000 times better
I really believe that if you take Glenn Shapiro's failed plans, failed processes, and flawed and disastrous vision out of Allstate you have a vastly better company. The vast majority of low morale, toxic attitudes, and feelings of hopelessness in... — read more
If you're on the fence about quitting
I saw this mentioned somewhere and it helped me, so I figured I'd share. If you can't decide if you want to quit or not, remove layoffs as a factor from your consideration. Think about your job minus the layoffs and see if you would be happy here if... — read more
Tom Wilson Puzzles
Does anyone else remember that town hall when TW mentioned that him and his wife are part of a book club and love puzzles?
Glenn Shapiro animal shelters
Does the fact that he gives hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to help animals change your opinion of him at all? Or the fact that he would likely give money to someone who was struggling?
A note to all
I resigned from my position as a senior property adjuster right after Allstate shut down ERL and raised the threshold to 4 claims a day. I realized pretty quick that Allstate did not value my loyalty or work ethic. I have accepted a position with... — read more
Claim layoffs
Property claims desperately need independent adjusters. Our work load is through the roof, not to mention the HUNDREDS of employees quitting and us taking on their load. Why don’t they take the auto adjusters and put them here instead of the ccc???... — read more
Glenn Shapiro
I was really excited when Shapiro joined Allstate in 2016 or so. I understood what he did to Liberty Mutual, but in his early talks around home office, he spoke about learning from past mistakes and being more thoughtful in his decisions. I am keen... — read more
If you can, stay away from Allstate
In case somebody is here because they're vetting Allstate to see if they should apply: don't. If you're smart and know what you're doing any place will be better than this. Here, you will only be seen as a threat and no amount of good and hard work... — read more
