Today I had two peers who had their company cars taken without notice or warning. Both picked up on hooks like they were being repo'd. Both persons couldn't remember if they had any personal items still in the vehicles. They just snuck in and swiped... — read more
Headed to path of destruction
This transformation plan has been very destructive across the board. They hired the wrong leadership to further sink market share even further. Why can’t the investors see through the BS.
Emergency time ?
I am seeing people talk about “emergency time “. What the heck is that? I’ve never heard of it, or been told this is some new benefit ? Some transparency ! Is this a benefit for all of us hourly employees or just for management? My kids have... — read more
Scared that I will not get severance
That’s the only reason I’m still here and I know I’m not the only one. However, I am more and more afraid that I will not even get it. I just hope that the rumor that they might run out of severance in the next round of layoffs was devised by someone... — read more
Staying on good terms?
I gave 2 weeks notice and only a few more days separate me from getting rid of this ridiculous company. It’s certainly the longest two weeks ever, I have a feeling the day lasts 48 hours. I decided not to leave immediately, though I must say I don't... — read more
Lots of PTO - but nickle and dimed
Have you ever noticed how we are fortunate with extensive pto, until you are a minute late on a break or getting in and then 15 minutes are docked? Lots of pto is fortunate until it is docked and monitored in such a draconian manner. I never... — read more

Claims has been a mess for a while. India can't be much worse.
Long before the pandemic and layoffs claims from top to bottom has been in a nose dive in terms of service quality, process, accuracy, and execution. This started at least 5 years ago. Claims employees like to blame their current sh– show on layoffs... — read more
What's the process when you quit?
I know there are lots of folks who quit who still read this board occasionally - any chance you can share what the exit process was like? Is the two weeks notice mandatory? I've heard that some people are told to leave as soon as they turn in their... — read more
Claims interviews being done by India leaders
Wow. The claims positions posted out there that are not based in India (which is most of them) are having leaders in India doing most of the interviews. If this doesn't prove the repeatedly stated move of most claims functions to India I don't know... — read more
Medical coverage
How many of us are basically held hostage here by medical coverage? It s—s but I can't just leave and risk losing health insurance in the middle of a pandemic. That is literally the only thing that's keeping me from walking out each day. If I had a... — read more

Predictions?
Outbound queue Auto techs
Any idea what's going on? I've heard so much misinformation about being classified as a home-based worker, company car status, if field will exist again, how the portal "drip" works, etc. Does anyone have any clear insight from leadership?
Look at Allstate on SeekingAlpha
Current and potential shareholders think Allstate is doing a fantastic job, and the stock keeps on rising. Workers are considered replaceable commodities, the cheaper the better, and that means that if you want a job long term in a lot of areas... — read more

How many hours would you lose?
I never looked at it that way before, but now that I've been working from home for a year I can't not see it. If I have to go back to the office, I'll lose nearly two hours of my life in commute. Two hours I've used in the past year to finally get a... — read more

How many rounds of layoffs and bad moves have you survived?
I can’t even remember how many layoffs I survived here anymore. And not just layoffs but all sorts of awful moves. Every time I survive a layoff, I start looking for a new job but I end up staying until the next round of layoffs. Maybe it’s... — read more
Go back to the office and get shocked by how many of us are left....
I wonder how many people will be leaving by the summer and how many are currently looking for work? There aren’t many job opportunities now and Allstate benefits from that situation, but I think that soon there will be more and more offers for better... — read more
Dinner with Tom or Glenn
If you could sit down at a restaurant in Chicago and give TW OR GS some honest advise about Allstate, what would it be?
I wish I could leave
Under 40 years old but have 15 years in claims here. I've been well-salaried over the years and because of it can no longer get out. Im willing to take a pay cut for freedom and happiness but I'd be reducing my salary by 25% on the conservative side... — read more
Did Allstate get in trouble by the Dept of Insurance?
Does anyone know anything about this car seat remediation (corrective action) project? Apparently, Allstate is just issuing money on something like 20,000 claims that were audited and found that the CA car seat compliance was not asked. Now... — read more
One of our biggest issues right now
We have had so much turnover over the past 5 years that we were sc-aping the bottom of the barrel even before the layoffs. Now we are forced to fill the seats in mass due to being so short staffed. Combine the "bottom of the barrel" that makes up... — read more
All of Hudson claims is toast in June/July
Just heard from reliables. It means my job too.
Does Wilson deserve 60% approval?
Wilson's approval is currently 60% on Glassdoor. That means that the majority of employees think he's doing a bang up job. That came as a surprise. I know so few people who are satisfied at Allstate right now that I have no idea how his approval can... — read more
Fear of additional responsibilities

No other insurance company did what Allstate did?
I don’t see it as some kind of competition, but I am really embarrassed when I talk to friends from other insurance companies, because they all treated their employees much better during the pandemic. I know we have no influence there and that it is... — read more

Choosing work from home may come back to bite you
The way we were told to present the work from home versus hybrid choice to our teams was to imply that chosing hybrid would show a greater commitment and effort in your job. In short they are going to hold chosing work from home against you almost... — read more
Has Allstate made the company contribution to 401k this year?
Haven't noticed anything, but maybe I missed it? Thought it was supposed to be by end of 1st quarter.
Work from home..until the layoffs come
I am saddened that some are looking forward to working from home, given that layoffs are almost certain and they will be worse than 2020. I do not intend to spread panic, I'm just making an observation that people quickly forget that this is an... — read more
