Transformative shrinkage
Allstate is shedding customers at quite a clip.... In response, I am sure that they will increase unobtainable goals and crack the whip as opposed to looking at Wilson/Shapiro decision making that gutted the claims department and destroyed any... — read more
Allstate Life Company Selling? Hmmmm
This is really no suprise. To all those impacted think about how this business was actually run..... Rates of Life products where some of the higher ones compared to competitors and you actually have to move Autos to sell life. Auto rates are out... — read more
Calling Ask Hr
Literally can't get anyone on the phone at AskHr to inquire about my last paycheck, or to get a copy of the last paystub. What is the best way to go about this? I emailed a week ago and haven't heard anything back via email yet either. Pretty... — read more
Words are deceiving
Sell and share your data and exploit and score ya. Leaders get big win. It’s never about customers. It’s about data integrations and buying snd selling leads and slamming you with “special” offers and pricing and tracking you if you are a Top Tier... — read more

India
Tom Wilson's plan is to cut expenses as much as possible. I can see all the jobs being moved to India especially now that many departments are on chat. In india, the average Allstate salary is $5,000 - $6,000 converted to us dollars a year which is... — read more
I have been tasked to train India on property claims
Pray for me. This is NOT going to be fun. 😠😠😠
India (na) Shapiro and the Corporation of Doom
Glenny Boy won't be happy until he has the entire company in India.
Difficulty looking for a job
I worry a lot. Once I’m done with work, I can’t stop thinking about what tomorrow will be like. My private life is beginning to suffer. I can’t stop complaining to my wife or my friends... and everyone is getting tired of all that complaining, myself... — read more
Networking is the key
For those who want to leave but are unsure how, you have to start networking while you still have a job. You need to get in touch right now with people who could be helpful to you down the line just so they have you on your radar. I'm guaranteeing... — read more
Outsource and hire cheap
The modern Allstate model is to outsource where you can, and hire the cheapest possible talent in Northbrook and regional offices to do the day to day operational work. Recognizing that there will be high burnout and turnover. Meanwhile Allstate will... — read more
Glad to see Glen loves dogs
Too bad he hates the American worker....
A new low!
Just received 4 Ghrn Total losses and must handle, We were told we need to handle after hours or on the weekend, we could apply for event pay.
Just so sad
Sad !
Agenda 30 - Transformative Growth
Are we part of a bigger plan? Something doesn't seem right? 3800 layoffs = Organized Chaos This all seems to be well planned and executed. i.e. Event 201 Does anyone else see any parallels?
Something Allstate did not count on.
I truly feel that Allstate felt that those who survived their bloodbath would be thankful and invigorated to stay..willing to put up with 2X, 3x, 4x the prior work load and job expectations........ They thought wrong.. Employees are voting on the... — read more
The voice of the customer
Allstate used to advertise the quality of claim service in all advertising.At one time it was “top tier.” It was a source of pride. It is not coincidence that none of the new commercials mention “claim service.” The current state of Allstate claim... — read more
Allstate can no longer afford to be a safe harbor employer
Supply and demand for human beings to do the work of Allstate in a mega competitive insurance industry is what it is. Allstate needs to do things better, faster, cheaper. The shareholders demand it. The policyholders demand it too. If Allstate can be... — read more
Looks like Home Depot is hiring
Buy an IA company, sell the prop life company and then announce relationship with home warranty coverage with Home Depot? Where you guys been the last two days on this one?
New normal?
More work for the same money is by design and is now expected of you and is your new norm. You have been devalued by design. And as tired as you are of working long hours they don’t care and this is again expected of you and this friend is your **new... — read more
The fact is, there is dead weight at Allstate
The only problem is they're never the ones who get the boot once it's time for layoffs. Imagine how great this place could be if for once they decided not to cut people based on how much they make but based on how much they contribute to the company?... — read more
Pricing

The firings are still taking place?
Didn't we have a round of mass firings in June? I thought they were done with that but now I see there are still firings going on. Is what I've been reading a solitary case or are they still systematically reducing numbers using firings for even the... — read more
They keep piling more on us
For those that survived the layoffs we are the biggest losers. We work mandatory Saturday rotations and deal with screaming customers, agents and shops wondering why cars haven’t been inspected in over 2-3 weeks . Then also, Rentals aren’t not... — read more
Sacrificed a lot for Allstate
As an exempt employee I love my coworkers and sacrificed a lot for Allstate, often working overtime for free to fix problems. But that stops now. My work effort drops 50% and I don't GAF anymore. They keep telling us "they need to cut costs" but on... — read more
I just switched and saved!
Goodbye, overpriced Allstate. I just switched to Progressive and saved over $300 every 6 months on my automobile insurance! One car, one driver, clean driving record, clean loss record, multi-policy discount, and 30+ year customer. I saved almost... — read more
Force out!!
I was surprised to get a letter from Allstate benefits saying they were paying my pension, since I was laid off. He said they may or may not charge all the taxes bc of the forced layoff. Will they charge the penalty for being under the retirement... — read more
Got fired today
Got fired today for “performance” after not meeting the unreasonable UN requirements. Life goes on..
This is the deal
Seems like Allstate is getting rid of any area/division that is not profitable enough. I predict they'll only want to be an auto and home insurance company. Glen and Tom and all of the other a-holes are just waiting to get bought out. Do what's... — read more
Charlotte office
Will Allstate move out of Innovation Park and all work be homebound?
This is Transformative Growth
None of us are valued whether laid off or a current employee. They haven't valued employees for a number of years now. And the fact the positions eliminated are re-posted at lower pay bands shows they don't even value the work itself like they... — read more
We are nothing but numbers
Do you think anybody in the ELT even realizes they have human beings working for them? It seems to me that they see a number on the paper and they don't even try to visualize what or who is behind that number. That there are actual people and their... — read more
What is the best path out of Claims?
As someone who has spent years as an auto claims adjuster, I am just ready to get out. Other that have experience in applying, what do you think is the best path out of claims for someone with a degree? Open to other areas of insurance as... — read more
Recovering from the stress
Before I got laid off from Allstate, I noticed that the company had a very shaky reputation and I became ashamed to reveal to new acquaintances where I work. I used to be proud to have worked here, but at one point I became embarrassed. I got a new... — read more
You know what's the worst?
It's not that I was laid off after more than a decade of exemplary work and it's not that the severance was nowhere near what it should have been to show me that I was valued by the company for my contributions over the years. No, it's the fact that... — read more
To anyone who works in ALR
Remember before you get laid off that you can get up to five occurrences before you face any consequences from Allstate. Eat your currents can be used up to 5 days. Remember to use these before you leave Allstate!!!
Property and Casualty
Do you think more cuts are coming to property and casualty this year? I’m sure there are. This is just speculation. Which departments do you think if so?
