As much as I wanted to stay with this company, the stress is getting to be too much to deal with. I haven’t even been told I’m laid off, but I can’t stand waiting either. The only concern I have is that I’d need health insurance immediately with... — read more 

Does anyone know what is going on with LDU? In Arizona they are taking everlasting more states claims with no answers as to why. For example, Texas and Kansas claims.. and everyone is being told that come November, you won’t know if you will even... — read more 

I figured I would post this here because we’ve been told not to tell agents since they have not been told yet.

Will Allstate keep the broker dealer going? Are they requiring new agents to get their Series 6? Are they keeping all the life insurance requirements for the agents and whatever sales leaders are left?

I’m up can’t sleep. This is not healthy. I need out ASAP! I’m financially worried. I’m a single mother with a small child. I have no strength to give this company anymore of my energy. I’m trying to stay positive. All I can do is pray. I’ve started... — read more 

My manager is being eliminated and she is acting funky about telling us when we will transition and our new managers name. A hint was mentioned today but didn’t elaborate. I really don’t like the manager anyway. We find out changes through other... — read more 

Many posts have talked about different offices closing with more coming. Doubt many of us will still be working with the same people. Thoughts as we are still in this........

I was happy that my job was straight eliminated. No assessment to give me false hope – just a kick in the pants to jumpstart the next chapter of my professional life. And even if this sounds a bit arrogant, I won't be applying to any jobs at... — read more 

Tom Wilson needs to go. He is responsible for running this ship straight into the ground.

Several cuts announced for North America today, Ireland and India cuts coming tonight/tomorrow. Big meeting at 9am Chicago time to discuss what the changes mean to the company. Sad day. Good luck to all those affected by these cuts.

Facts are slim but Arity announced first-wave layoffs today. 10-20% based upon rough estimate.

Those field adjusters left behind will have to come the work of the Tlsa that’s right you will hold that assignment keep updating the file send the mitigation letters send task to yourself clear your tasks etc so on top of your overwhelming workload... — read more 

Haven’t heard much from you all since Assessments and letters been sent out. Hope all is well with everyone and keep your head up. God bless you all.

This layoff process is getting old. Everyone is weak and drained!

So, LDU, only hand full of employees in our office. Interesting, how my numbers are better than 1/2 of who they kept. Sounds a little fishy. Also, how the hell are you still giving me new claims and say, I'm still an employee. You really think... — read more 

I work in HO. There were major cuts across all departments. There were even cuts in Marketing, where the company is supposedly “investing resources” to drive TG. Many on my team were working 10-12 hour days before the cuts to try to keep up with... — read more 

Ask me anything

Has anyone who received their package noticed the list of people with no names, just titles and ages who were let go? It was like 146 pages of employees who were given notices.

I wish the American workforce was smarter and learned to look after themselves and their families. A company’s actions internally are a bullhorn if you are smart enough to pay attention! In Allstate’s case, the day they announced the change in... — read more 

I’ve watched a ton of jobs go either overseas (where labor is cheap) or they are replaced by technology and AI. Nothing enrages a customer more than the inability to reach someone by phone that fluently speaks their language. Their other locations... — read more 

Do anyone know if they are going to make any layoff in property department?

As a retired Allstate Claim employee, it deeply saddens me to see what the company has become and how you are now being treated. The benefits were very good for our “generation”, the work was fun, and we cared about the customer and the company. With... — read more 

My date is Nov 20th. Look luck everyone.

Anyone else stressed about the direction in which LDU is going? They laid off some of the most tenured top performing adjusters and the rest are quitting but we keep getting more and more work. We were told CO & WA claims would be temporary but it’s... — read more 

With the 2500 agents they are hiring through 2021, 500 are planned to be in place by years end. These agents will sell Allstate P&C products with the renewals being rolled into Allstate. Unless you are allowing your agents to work from home, set... — read more 

The package is in an esign document. You can’t see what they are offering until you sign the waiver. How’s that for transparency?

I don’t want to wait until late October to know our date.

Been wondering what's the next thing Allstate could throw our way this year... With the coronavirus as an excuse, I could see them instituting a temporary salary reduction that could easily turn into something permanent. Not sure what else is left to... — read more 

Sure hope this business plan works for all the damage they have done.

Wilson told the news outlet that the shift toward less driving has meant that fewer employees are needed as fewer accidents are occurring. “This is a big first step, but this is not the end of our need to continue to reduce costs,” Wilson said... — read more 

ABC Nightly News tonight. "Allstate lays off 7% of it's workforce"

I dread each day, worrying for what comes next... I just want to enjoy my job again.

And now they take away the only retirement benefit left. The emails went out today from HR. If you started before 2003 and are not retirement eligible before 12/31/2020 you don't get the retiree medical discount. What a sh–ty thing to do.

I can understand why people with kids are so upset about being laid off, but what I can’t understand is why people who are single with no kids are so scared. If your single with no kids, you can work retail, deliver pizzas, drive for Uber, exc... — read more 

Seeing the info about Irving makes me think they can’t be too far off from making the announcement for Ohio. Just get on with it.

The biggest mistake one can make, and most have, is to assume this economic crisis will be mild or temporary. You'll want to assume that it is, since that path requires you to make no hard decisions or changes to your life. For most, the downturn... — read more
