Topics regarding layoffs at Allstate Corp.

Exciting times at my desk!

Thank you Allstate for threatening me with a layoff. I have gone through a bit of a transformative growth myself. This will last 6 to 8 weeks but once I know where I stand I will assess if I got to make to my former self or keep this new version. .. — read more

Please Sever Me

I am tired of low pay, metrics being crammed down my throat, and layoff games. Im ready to have a job that I care about and at least halfway cares about me. I’d be happy to walk away with some extra pay and find something different? Anyone else... — read more 

ESURANCE AND GENERAL ADJUSTERS

What are you being told by higher ups and how are things changing for your organization? As you can see, it is complete chaos here at Allstate. I think it would be helpful if we kept each other in the loop.

Serious Question- Rate reduction

The transformative process is centered around the goal of lowering the cost of insurance to grow and better retain customers. Once the rates are reduced, will the current Allstate customers policies be automatically re-priced? If not why? If so... — read more 

Disassociation

I'm now too embarrassed to tell people i work for allstate now. a few years ago we received folding lawn chairs with the allstate logo. i loved that thing. but i absolutely will not use it anywhere anyone can see. ditto my shirts. it's going to... — read more

The Future

Imagine if you will, an Allstate organization where the Good Hands are severed and there is no “Fast, Fair, and Easy” for our customers. Customers used to be able to get through to an agent or someone who cared, now they are forced to log-In... — read more

Reality

This company has decided to oversimplify understanding “absolute” talent. And those selected can feel good about themselves “because the company said so”. Is ANYONE surprised the SAME people? 65% performance and then other Corp factors? And... — read more

Too bad

It’s too bad we require money to be free and are tied to ridiculous circimstances like this one. There’s been no effort to communicate with employees, and now the morale is toxic. Bravo Allstate. I’ve been working really hard......... Cram it... — read more

Allstate You Win

I am waiving the white flag. You have broken me. The stress and pain is not worth it. I held on as long as I could. Even if I am retained I cannot remain with this morally broken cesspool of a company. I am no longer willing to hold on for the... — read more

Time to be an Entrepreneur

We need to acknowledge that as long as we rent our knowledge and time to this big corporations we are really wasting valuable time. Here is a crazy suggestion, instead of using our severance pay to pay bills while looking for a job start working on... — read more 

Whoever Remains

We have learned a valuable lesson. Get in touch with your local chapter of the insurance adjuster association and get going on a Claim adjuster Union. Problem is, it all starts out well but then when it comes to cuts that must be made, they do it a... — read more

Talk of WARN Act

I’d say Allstate is in compliance here. Why do I keep seeing this thrown around on this forum like it offers legal option? The WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act requires businesses who employ over 100 workers to either give... — read more 

Will they ever stop micromanaging?

Employees are micromanaged to death in Allstate. I don’t know what drives that behaviour. Maybe it is a need for survival, or managers are are just showing their desire for power more than ever. Read this post on another thread ( @1enn+16sFmeNr )... — read more 

Assessment Takeaways

No way this assessment can count aside an excuse to justify a layoff. When numerous questions ask if I’m an angry person, get frustrated easy, anger easily OR feel flirting / over compliment to get my way on one side and on the other side ask either... — read more 

Good Morning Home Office Shills

Eric Brandt-leadership

I just want to give a shoutout to Eric Brandt for being as transparent as possible during these times, and really caring about him employees and others during this time. It is a tough situation for everyone.

Has anyone heard if the Administrative Assistants (secretary) and Team Leaders had to take the assessment? All we have heard were CSL’s, processors And us adjusters!

One Big Happy Allstate Family

Until claims dropped off and payroll became a liability. I've told my kids for years. You're a member of the family as long as there is work to do. Once the work stops, you're an employee.

Those laid off post assessment

Those that are cut post assessment: I wonder if it’ll be another scripted call advising of it in mass or will we be told individually.

Severance

Severance Package are they offering?

Technology

hold times for technical support are crazy!!! Surely they cant be getting rid of any more tech people and need to be bringing more in??
