By summertime they’ll surely see the mistakes they’re making . Auto claims is just awful In terms of the work environment . Getting up to 8 inspections From all over the country every day and working 60 hours a week including weekends to keep Up is... — read more
After Jan 25th
In about 2 weeks we'll be seeing a lot more crying on here by the people who chose not to work but get paid anyway on the 25th. Talked into getting fired by people bitter, rightly so, about getting laid off and people who say they'll "strike" but not... — read more
Losing customers rapidly?
Does anyone have more detailed information on how many customers Allstate has lost lately? It seems to me that we are losing them rapidly. A large number would not be at all surprising given the unenviable position employees are in. Dissatisfied and... — read more
Allstate W2
Have you received your W2?
Part 2 of "Transformative Growth: The Great Allstate " is underway
TW's slurfest this morning shows that the next part of Transformative Growth is now well underway. It started with 2020's mass layoffs in which thousands (many more than the BS 3800 number reported) were let go with severance and extended benefits... — read more
TW and GS home offices on Zoom.
Anyone else surprised TW and GS don’t have fancier home offices, considering they make millions a year!?
Tom wilson call
I missed the call because I was working. Could anyone summarize the call?
All Hands Meeting
Well looks like more layoffs this year.
This all hands meeting isn’t anything new
Just the same regurgitated ideas.... and brainwashing us as if we matter and that we are special.
Disqualify for unemployment
Keep getting worst....getting a severance means you are disqualified for unemployment in TX. Can’t apply for unemployment until April 2021 when I got laid off in Nov 2020. Anyone else going through this? I didn’t know that was the guidelines in TX. — read more
Claims is horrible
Claims is horrible, switching the role of everyone in our MCO to all being Claim Owners and handling the entire claim and all coverages, while also doubling the number of claims we get each day. This was all done with a week's notice and NO TRAINING... — read more
All Hands meeting tomorrow?
Just saw it on my calendar tomorrow. So? Surely they are going to go over the "exciting times" we are in after ruining thousands of lives by laying off employees during a pandemic and poor job market and the results of how doubling up work for the... — read more
Allstate using impossible to meet performance goals as a tool to "lay off" without severance.
It is all part of Allstate's "Tranformative Growth". Mass layoffs with severance, throw all the work on those left behind. Demoralize and create a no win condition for meeting performance and gradually term employees "for cause" for not meeting... — read more
W2's
Does anyone know how or when we will get our W2's?
Management
Cut management some slack. As much as we'd like to blame them; they are EMPLOYEES too! They are following orders from the top and are just as nervous about losing their jobs too! Speaking from personal experience.
Returning laptop.
I am about to be termed for performance. How will I go about getting Allstate their laptop back?
Planning exit strategy
I have been at allstate the last 5 years. The first four years were great. The last 10 months have been awful. Inconsistent goals, unreasonable amount of work. Once this vaccine is distributed hopefully by the summer or late fall I am definitely... — read more
Better days ahead
Right now upper management is taking advantage of everyone with an increased workload after massive layoffs. I work in agency support and we also have to learn rmbc in addition so twice the workload. Also have to take 3 chats at the same time while... — read more
Allstate verses Being Unemployed
Can we just agree that as much as being out of work s—s, it’s still better than working for Allstate and being under that constant stress!?? I’d rather rent a room with 5 room mates than I would work at I job I absolutely hate again. — read more
How picky are you in finding a new job?
After literally losing a few years at Allstate and being laid off in a very ugly way, I became very picky when it came to finding a new job. It took me several months to recover from the stress. My friend and former colleague who was laid off at... — read more
If you quit are you paid for your PTO remaining?
Do you receive a check for your remaining PTO if you resign?
STATUS ENCOMPASS EMPLOYEES
As a former Encompass employee, can anyone comment on the status of Encompass relative to the NatGen purchase? Have they announced what is going to happen to the folks in the 4 or 5 Encompass "Talent Centers"?
Look at smaller companies
For those who are planning their exit, don't focus just on the big players. I got a job with a significantly smaller company but it's better in every possible way. Higher pay (slightly, but still,) better benefits, bonuses... People too often look at... — read more
Laid off managers vs front line workers
It seems that among those laid off, managers and directors have gotten other jobs fairly easily, but a lot of front line workers have struggled to find jobs. Anyone else notice this?
What do you expect from the protest?
I can’t wait to see what the results will be (although I’m a little afraid of them). Do you expect that after the “Day of Change” protest, things will change for the better? I’m not over-optimistic, far from it, but I think some things should... — read more
Esurance Claims Employees.
Any thoughts of if current Esurance employees handling Esurance claims will be affected by future layoffs? If so when?
Kronos PTO bank
Is the PTO in Kronos accurate? I can’t seem to find my remaining PTO anywhere.
Transformative growth plan = Sell Allstate
If I didn't know better I would think the purpose of "Transformative Growth" is to prepare the corporation to be sold.
Allstate Day of Change protest planned
The Allstate Employees For Change committee has organized and scheduled a "Day of Change" protest during Monday January 25th 2021. There are hundreds of fellow Allstaters from multiple departments ranging from front line to division leaders already... — read more
More layoffs in a few months
There will be more layoffs with 60 day notices in April. That’s the magic month they will let all claims employees know if they will have to work from home permanently, go half at home, half into a hotel work space, or go back to a germ filled office... — read more
Job market and 50+ employees
Are there any other employees age 50+ who were let go by AS who are finding it extremely difficult to get another job? I don’t know if it’s because the job market is so saturated due to the pandemic or if it’s because of age, but I've had no luck so... — read more
It seems
a disproportionate number of native western folks were terminated in the recent harrying of layoffs. Or maybe it’s just me. These are strange times after all and strange times sure can be stressful. We should focus on the positive though: at least... — read more
To the public considering Allstate
Do not believe the “good hands” hype. Unless you want to be unable to speak to a live body, want to do your own claim work or want to have your claim underpaid, stay far away from Allstate. This is NOT the Allstate of old. This is now a company ... — read more
What can we expect?
With NatGen integration, can we be looking at possible RIFs? It’s a well-known fact that restructurings ALWAYS occur with positions being made redundant and blah blah blah. And if there are RIFs I wonder if we will be given enough time to prepare for... — read more
Auto claims inspects is a mess
Working Long hours and frustrated customers and shops is the norm now. They assign us massive amounts of inspections to be done looking at photos or trying to convince shops to use virtual assist and push quality on us. Why’d they lay off so many... — read more
Does Eric Brandt realize how bad things have gotten in claims?
As a former Esurance employee I am disappointed how much Eric has thrown us to the wolfs. At Esurance he always was down to earth and really cared about workers and customers, not money beyond all else.
Curious
Anyone in upper Allstate realize their mistake yet? Claims is a sht show.
Mods
Please quit removing posts without an explanation...
Does it appear your PTO has been reduced for 2021?
Asking for a friend
Promo announcements
Noticing slew of promotion announcements last 48 hours. Disheartening. half my team was let go and here is someone getting a promo out of it and a pay raise. Not only my area. Seeing announcements across all areas.
