Topics regarding layoffs at Allstate Corp.

What does it mean to you?

I had a colleague tell me to “take ownership” of my career a few weeks ago. I’ve had that on my mind since. I’m curious to see what that may mean to others. Does it mean get out before you’re kicked out? Does it mean to always be looking for your... — read more 

Run

Allstate laid off half the claims department and sent even more jobs to India. Everyone’s workload was doubled and customer service took a nose dive. Customers did not like this so they began switching to other carriers in droves. Remaining employees... — read more 

Those who recently quit

If you're still reading this, I have a question. When you gave your two weeks notice, did your manager expect you to stay on for two more weeks or were you asked to leave immediately? It's not that important if I stay on for those two weeks, but if... — read more 

ALLSTATE COMMERCIAL

Can anyone substantiate the rumor that Allstate Commercial is for sale? Not that it's a big deal, commercial has never produced any significant numbers to the company's bottom line. With their antiquated underwriting and zero appetite, TW could... — read more 

Separate important things from non important ones

Allstate was a very stressful environment for me until I started to separate a little more carefully the silly things that happen every day from the really important things that concern my job and future career. I’ve noticed that this is a problem... — read more 

Content of Assessment

Does anybody know the questions for the timed portion of the assessment? Any clues or even the name of the test would be helpful.

Retention

Fingers crossed that a significant decrease in retention will be reported during the earnings call....

Nobody deserves to be treated like this

We work so hard every day, breaking our backs to get everything done in time despite being severely overworked and for what? So that the company can use us up, step all over us, and then dismiss us like we never existed. This is a truly shameful way... — read more 

Covid-19 India

Has covid–19 greatly impacted the "Transformative Growth" plans in India? India has the 2nd highest number of Covid cases in the world (with the US being the 1st). I can't see how they are mass growing the staff there to take on all the jobs they are... — read more

TW and GS insurance

Do you guys really think these two have Allstate handle all their insurance needs?

Whom did they offer VSO to?

Which band E employees (and above) are offered voluntary separation? What logic did they follow? Does anyone have more detailed insights? I believe that most of those to whom it is offered will accept it. Unfortunately, I was not offered VSO... — read more 

“As the Allstate turns”

I have to wonder if the endless drama created by the “leaders” of this corporation is driven by their incompetence or their intentional abuse of their employee base... Endless..daily drama that takes the focus off high lying customers that they... — read more 

Make sure you know what you’re doing

A coworker left three months ago for a new company and he couldn’t wait to say goodbye to this place so he didn’t even give two weeks’ notice. Well, now he realized that the new place is just as bad as here only now he’s also the newest addition... — read more 

Stay the course

Don’t give them the satisfaction of quitting right now. They want to get rid of as many of us as they can while paying as little as possible. Don’t think that benefit cuts and overall increase in bullying by managers is not planned. They’re trying to... — read more 

People who come back

I know two people who came back to Allstate after they got laid off and after that talked all the worst about this company. Is the job market so bad that people agree to come back here or does Allstate give some much better terms than they had... — read more 

Exaggerating mistakes, downplaying merit

I really can't stand this company anymore. My supervisor is always there to minimize and devalue all employee merits. It would somehow be bearable if he was not inclined to exaggerate all the mistakes at the same time or what he thinks is wrong... — read more 

Acceptance and Embrace Change

Acceptance of the reality that Allstate is not the same company as it was 5-30 years ago must be understood. It is a very cut and dry company that favors the shareholders and upper management. Customers and rank and file employees are considered to... — read more

The management knows it can do whatever it wants

I keep hoping the management will finally see some consequences for their st—d decisions with so many people gone through layoffs and attrition and not enough people left to do the actual work. But despite below market compensation, barely any... — read more 

Allstate Financial

kiss the life company goodbye. Underwriters will be gone soon as the fold that sinking ship. 4 billion dollars lost

Stock price

Its 122.06 at the moment. You work for a publicly traded company, and that is all that matters. You have your 401k money in Allstate? Guess what...you are making money. You got stock options...oops I forgot most on this site barely make 15 an... — read more 

I hope Allstate fails

Even if that means I'd be out of a job when it does. At least I'd know the leadership would finally see some consequences for what they did to this place. It's hard to imagine (although sadly not impossible) that anybody would put them in charge of... — read more 

Embellishing the truth

I believe there are many people who have found much better jobs after Allstate, but I have noticed that most of them embellish the truth and exaggerate things. I know a person who boasted that she got a great job, that her life is now much better... — read more 

Inspire Survey

Get pumped! Not many questions about senior executives and officers on it. Do they do that to prevent criticism?

The only good thing left

The only good thing left about Allstate are its people. There are still fantastic people working here, people who could turn this place around if they were given the opportunity. Sadly, with the current management that values "yes men" over merit and... — read more 

Proxy

It’s that time of year to do your part and vote Tom Wilson and his corporate raiders the exit door when you fill out your proxy card. Spread the word to remove this POS and the rest of the board from destroying Allstate any further. Spread the word — read more 

Uptick in short term disability

Has anyone noticed an uptick in employees out on STD? It seem like more and more employees are out for months at a time for mental health breaks? I have not been with the company that long to really have a baseline.

Brand value

How much does Allstate lose on its brand value due to outsourcing?

What do emotionally invested people expect?

It's funny to me that there are still people here who are emotionally invested in Allstate and think this company will someday recognize that. These are the ones who unfortunately will not learn from the mistakes of others. They think that others are... — read more 

Disappointment every time

Even Tawn Hall meetings have become miserable in this company. I wish I had missed this one and many of the previous ones. It just confirms once again that this is one ridiculous company with a lot of people who are not competent to be in the... — read more 

Town Hall

So. No questions about layoffs? Boy. Talk about a bunch of propaganda. Wonder if the question askers were held hostage? I think I noticed them blinking in Morse code.
