If we were laid off prior and come back to the company in another role do we get severance again if laid off again. Or is it a one time thing per employee? I was able to save up and not use all the severance other than the prorated portion that I am... — read more
What area is facing layoffs next?
I know legal is undergoing layoffs starting in August but who is next?
I don't want to get burned twice
When I joined Allstate I thought I was making the right move for my career. That turned out not to be true much quicker than I could have ever imagined. Now, I've found another position but I'm too scared to accept. I'm worried I might end up in a... — read more
Transformative Greed
First let me welcome the company internal auditors, security and whatever hired to do damage control since this site started trending on social media. Oh IM a crazy conspiracy theorist. Okay. Transformative Growth is a nothing but cutting costs... — read more
Allstate is a disappointment to everyone
My question is for those who are new to this company: how quickly were you disappointed to have accepted the job here? Despite my advice to try somewhere else, my friend’s son accepted a job at Allstate, regretted it in two months, and is already... — read more
I don't want to do someone else's job
I had already taken on a lot of work after my colleague left. Now another colleague has left Allstate and there are good chances that I will have to take over his job as well. I absolutely don't want that. I mean, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t... — read more
Layoffs 2021 look to be underway
My thoughts and positive vibes to everyone and all areas that are or to be impacted. Everyone will end up better in the long run and it will all be ok.
Desensitized to layoffs
I think there have been so many cuts here recently, small and large, that we've become desensitized to it. I remember when every mention of layoffs caused outrage among everybody. Now, most people glance over it and move on. Unless it affects us... — read more
Claims Cuts Underway
50+ in processing and over 20 in SIU got their walking papers on Thursday. Other claims areas to be impacted over time through August as the expected transition of claims to India starts to take hold and becomes reality.
Some claims processors got 60 day notices
Two folks I know got their 60 day notices today. Same severance package as usual. Not certain how many impacted today for sure but there were over 20 people in their meeting. The two I know were tenured more than 5 years.
Toxic auto environment
I work in Auto and have never been so stressed in my life. Everyone is on edge and ready to push work off onto others and point fingers. Can’t say I’ll be doing the “right” thing much longer. Doing the right thing only results in coaching about... — read more
Skills that make you less replaceable?
Some argue that you are less likely to be cut if you have more skills. I don't really believe it, because I know of people who had very specialized skills, but Allstate got rid of them very easily. Anyway, I'm interested in what are the specialized... — read more
Lead attorneys at SCO do nothing
Genuinely curious if yours actually do anything? They are laying off good attorneys and keeping these Leads who do literally nothing all day.
GS’s next role?
What insured company do you guys think he will ruin next?
Can't Promote if you live in CA
Has anyone else been told they can't promote to a higher position/band or apply for another position if they live in CA?
Eric Brandt salary
Disclosures show Brandt has total compensation of around $1.1 million a year. This really isn’t super high when you think about it....more like highly paid doctor or lawyer level. People should quite acting like he is making all this money or a... — read more
Who is in the SCO is looking for a new job?
Doomsday appears to be rearing its head.
What is Allstate doing to prevent layoffs?
Serious companies have a plan, but is Allstate doing anything at all to prevent possible cuts? They don't seem to be doing anything about it.
Did Allstate really need Nat Gen?
I don't think so, and it's better that the purchase didn't happen. I have a bad feeling that the end of that story will be very sad, with a lot of losses and a lot of layoffs.
Who decided not to take the VTO they were offered?
Now, what are you going to do with imminent layoffs (which we told you were coming)?
NAPAA vs Allstate Lawsuit

Juneteenth
We get this off this year (Friday before is the business day before holiday in 2021) or was it a one time thing in 2020?
Allstate is poorly run
I swear, this has to be the worst company I have ever worked for. The incompetence on all levels of management is astounding. All the changes made in the past several years make no sense. It makes you wonder if the ELT has any idea what they're... — read more
SCO (Legal)
Others have posted that there will be layoffs in legal - I have not heard this. I think there will be some positions which become “redundant “, but Legal saves the company TONS of money & most legal departments are quite busy - so why would they lay... — read more
Update on morning meeting.
I have been busy since our 11am meeting this morning that I referenced in the thread below. There were no layoffs to announce however 45 of us auto adjusters are being repurposed and moved to roles in the CCC and will report to the CCC as of Monday... — read more
Returning laptop
Been gone for 5 months now, and still no word on returning my monitor and laptop. When do they usually reach out? Could they just be so unorganized that they don’t know what equipment I have??
Not trying to repair the damage?
Does it seem to you that this company is not doing anything to repair the damage caused by poorly made moves? It's sometimes fascinating to me that Allstate isn't doing much about it. Even if they try sometimes, it obviously doesn't work out the... — read more
Running on auto pilot
Anyone else on autopilot mode? I used to wake up dreading the workday and after a while I lost all motivation to work. Now I only work the bare minimum. There is no longer any hope that Allstate can motivate employees to be more engaged. As for me... — read more
Tom Wilson deserves his salary
Let’s be honest, $16 million a year to Tom is fair because of how much responsibility he has, and how much hard work he has to do.
First quarter 2021 - Continuous Improvement Update Call
Welp, they CLEARLY said that they will be laying people off across the board in Legal to "meet company needs". What a joke that call was. Listening to them read from a script. Glad I have been job searching.
Just got appointment for meeting
Today at 11. Looks like about 50 of us in it. Titled "Department Update". We are in auto adj. Anyone else get and any ideas of what this is?
Nat Gen/ Encompass
If you were apart of the Nat Gen/ Encompass Town hall meeting last week- if you read between all of the vagueness that was given- you can tell there will be major changes coming that way. Even though we are very short handed- many will be let go... — read more
Has there ever been a greater discord between sales and service?
This is a perfect example of what this company has sowed. Absolute discord between sales arms and service arms. Finger pointing at every department yet no one taking any accountability for their own short comings. A great company, has everyone... — read more
Whose work should be a priority?
Whenever someone leaves, their job is transferred to the rest of us. That way I now do work for several people. It becomes unclear which job should be a priority, whether I should continue to be the most dedicated to my job or whether the priority... — read more
Purposeful
This company is doing everything as sneaky as possible to make adjusters quit. Tremendous file load, processes, and short staffing. Obviously, they want all to leave so they can ramp up India adjusters. What a mess
Food for thought
This is for those who have remained loyal to the company. I’m going to tell you what someone told me a long time ago before he was laid off. If the company doesn’t care then why should you? Let that sink in for a minute. Misplaced loyalty won’t... — read more
Would you accept a job at one of our main competitors?
I'm at the point where Allstate has soured me on the entire industry. I have an option to switch to one of our competitors but I'm thinking of passing and waiting until I can find something completely different. Also, how different can they be... — read more
TW & Glen .. pretend you care about people until you get what you want
