All Claims Call at 11 CT. Anyone else freaking out?
All Claims
Anyone know what the big all claims meeting today is about? Notice was just sent.
Fingers crossed
Fingers crossed this is the week when it happens. Not because I want to be laid off but because I want to move on, one way or another. I just had another c-appy weekend because I couldn't get my mind off work and I'm getting really tired of it. So... — read more
Retirement check up.
Did everyone get retirement “check-up” papers in the mail? I don’t ever remember getting these before. Is it something they do every year? Or is it a sign!? Lol!
Keep applying for jobs if you got canned from Allstate
I got a nasty call on Friday stating due to my assessment Allstate decided not to keep me. Two hours later, I got an acceptance letter from a company I've been interviewing with for weeks. I applied to 100 plus jobs and went on so many interviews... — read more

Did anyone else watch the two new commercials and feel that they were absolutely awful? Is this the campaign that is supposed to compete with Geicos ads. I tried to watch them with an open mind but I thought it was the worst Allstate ads I have... — read more
Recruiting
Just heard that LSP recruiters are being cut down as well. Where do you see recruiting going from here on out with agent staffing?
Why should we care?
Why should we care about Allstate when all the company cares about are profits and executive bonuses instead of their employees? I remember a time when Allstate treated us with respect and encouraged us to strengthen co-worker relationships with... — read more
Director and above
Isn’t it amazing that everyone titled director or above In claims found a safe place to land?? Their jobs were all safe unless they chose to retire... I guess it pays to be someone who is not a “grunt.”
People are leaving (and nobody cares)
The economy has never been worse and yet so many people are opting to leave Allstate right now. That should tell you all you need to know about the state of the company. Of course, the people leaving are some of our best but does the management care?... — read more
I have a solution...
In 2017, Tom Wilson’s salary alone was listed as 17.1 million dollars. So, give me his job and a salary of $500,000. Right there, I just saved Allstate 16.6 million dollars. I’ll use that money to retain as much staff as that allows. As a bonus, I’ll... — read more

Anyone else notice the massive amount of property jobs out there? (Not just at Allstate). Is it horrible being a property adjuster?
So we’re halfway through the month.
When the heck are they going to drop the bomb on us and just let us out of our misery???
Allstate dropped the ball
I have been with Allstate over 4 years and up until recently it has always been an excellent place to work. I understand that Allstate wants to be #1 in insurance but they have completely mishandled the layoffs. I respect they are being honest with... — read more
Bleak outlook
I’ve been with the company since January, completed training in Feb and went remote in March. I feel like I didn’t really get a chance to acclimate to the processes before we were required to WFH. Ever since layoffs were announced I’ve just felt so... — read more

Applying for too many internals triggering alerts
I and others have gotten "alerts" basically stating that we are applying for too many internal jobs at once and that this is placing us in spam lists with Allstate recruiters and flagging our applications. Supposedly there is an unwritten rule that... — read more

Not looking forward to the weekend
I used to be ecstatic when Friday rolled around. The moment I was off the clock my mood would improve drastically. I miss that feeling. Now, it's all the same. Worry during workdays, worry during weekends. By the time Monday is back, my batteries... — read more
Didn’t T.W. Say no more Vendors in one of his calls ?
We now have EXL that is doing a “Test” on our subro files and Kronos doing our timekeeping for anyone that is left. Is it just me or is this the definition of Transformative Growth? More Transparency coming your way.
Fine line between love & hate
There are moments that I used to love this company but not anymore. I understand that this company is bloated and it is difficult to keep up with other major insurance companies but to lay off employees who needed this job at the worst possible... — read more
Where are these jobs people keep mentioning?
I've been searching for the last three months and what I'm seeing is anything but good. Could be my age, could be the pandemic, but the only offers I've so far received come with a ridiculously low pay. Nothing that can even remotely tempt me to... — read more

New timekeeping system.
A new babysitting service? Another way to micromanage? It will probably keep us chained to our desks. Have to account for every second now! Please just lay me off and be done with it! I do t want to work for a company like this!
Would you recommend Allstate to anybody as a place to work?
I used to do it, but now I warn people away.
Jut an FYI
I know a lot of people are worried about what's to come, but take it from somebody who has already been laid off - there are many companies out there doing much more interesting work that offer better pay, benefits, and most importantly work... — read more

Allstate layoffs are both the literal and symbolic microcosms of the systematic erosion of this country.
This is not a political issue, per se. Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians....no one has clean hands in this situation. This is not partisan. This is not division. This country used to be a place where one's basic needs could be... — read more
