I’m starting to wonder if a regular workweek exists here anymore. Why is everyone doing extra time and acting like that’s just part of the job now?
Package negotiation
Is it worth trying to negotiate a better leaving package at ANI?
Agency just missed minimum goal in May...
are we done? This makes 7 months in the rolling 12. Coworkers are all concerned. Is there a grace period? Probation? Warning?
Return to ANI??
Just curious if anyone has returned after being made redundant? Would you?
Allstates job titling
Why is it that in this company when people are called architects they're nothing more than admin assistants or when they're called engineers they're nothing more than non-technical analysts and why is it that these architects are performing... — read more
Here we go again!
Another round of Allstate Asks where Zulfi tells us that they want to know what we think, but then they complain (and target you) if we don't give them the answers that they want.
Fast forward to January 1, 2027...
What does the agency footprint look like? Fewer agents? Far less support staff? AI self serve?
Seven years was seven too many
Seven years of clients screaming at me over things I didn't control. Seven years of managers watching my screen. I walked out three weeks ago and I'm still exhausted.
ANI Redundancies - May 2026
Watch this space.
More PA and some ATSC let go today
The ATSC area impacted does a lot of the ASC fixes. Smart move!
"Walkout" in Claims today?
Some rumors/rumblings that there was a "walk out/log out" in protest in parts of Claims today. Any word on what that was about and the extent of?
A dozen Layoffs in U.S. done today
I know someone who lost their job in P.A. today who said a dozen of their colleagues did too, including U.S. based managers.
Today is the day!
Sudden Friday afternoon meeting for my entire department! The day of reckoning has come! The end times are at hand!
Get Out of This Company ASAP!
They are about to do some really terrible and undesirable things regarding department structure and redistribution of work.
It's 3/24/2026 and ASC is still total cr-p.
That is all....
Future of LSPs and agency service personnel???
What does the future look like for the thousands and thousands of agency staff who have made Allstate their career? With the numerous changes coming to the EA in 2027, is an agent expected to just lock the doors should a customer walk up or refuse... — read more
eSurance
Retired old man here. Question= 5 years ( or so) after the integration of esurance into Allstate, can we all agree that their talent pool was like the “kiddie pool” at a local swim club? No depth, no substance and all “look at me” show, with zero... — read more
April 9 Town Hall to address the 2027 agent changes?
Has this been confirmed?
Anyone else have a managing engineer who does neither managing nor engineering?
We got a new ME about 18 months ago. Since then, I've spoken to him like once. Meetings are cancelled or he just never shows up. There are no 1 on 1's. My year end scores might as well be a lottery as my ME has no idea what I am up to. We're being... — read more
What was the severance package like in the last round?
I'm mostly curious about the medical coverage.
Why the heck does ASC still have problems almost 2 years later
Ok, what is going on? It still pulls in suspended DL licenses on random people that have verified active licenses, changes coverages randomly at binding, price randomly changes when quote is opened the next day and other glitches. Support continues... — read more
Employee Appreciation
Employee appreciation gift- a $15 credit to grub hub. BUT you have to spend $50 to use it. Cheap a-s Allstate can't even give employees a plain $15 gift card. Some of us don’t even have acess to grubhub in our areas. Hate on me all you want but... — read more
What happened at Northbrook today? Someone was shot in the head
News isn’t reporting much. What happened? Was anyone there today that knows?
I9 verification ?
Whats the inside word on I9 verification some U.S. employees are being pushed through? 7 days to prove citizenship or be fired? Is this an attempt to fire without severance?
Are all the US and NI workers being quiet fired?
Is the company effectively “quiet firing” its U.S. and Northern Ireland employees so they can just put more engineers and customer serivce people in India? Top performers are receiving only 1.5–3% merit increases, denied PTO, benefits appear to be... — read more
Merit
What’s the average merit increase now a days at Allstate?
2027 Plan for Agents
When will details be shared?
Future with National General?
What is the plan? Is NatGen integrating into Allstate programs? Are we going to be expected to learn theirs? What is their leadership like? It seems like a lot are being shoe horned into leadership levels at Allstate which is not great considering... — read more
OBD Model Dead
The misguided leadership of OBD model is dead. No more time wasted on this terd
How long can we go?
Our agency continues to struggle to meet goals, including the minimum autos. How many months are we allowed to miss?
When are cuts continuing?
This month? In March?
Nothing left to give
I gave this job years of my life and kept pushing even when it was draining me. They took everything they could and never slowed down. Now there’s nothing left in the tank, and I’m done trying to refill it. Package or not, I’m walking away.
We've lost our Allstate
Used to be great place to work...could get away with so much skiving. Then if they wanted rid of you would bench you followed by Payoff...or just a payoff. But there's another way to get you to go....give you lower performance rating than deserve... — read more
This was a decent company to work for
Company wants to be more efficient so they hire more managers, lay off seasoned/experienced engineers, introduce the "product model" which is great for software developers but slows the rest of the tech teams down/delivers slower results to our... — read more
No such thing as Loyalty or Security
Remember folks, there is no such thing as loyalty in Corporate America for its customers, workers, or even its brand: just the shareholders. Our salaries are only based on how hard it is to replace us and with AI and increased offshoring we are... — read more
Trimming the fat at the top
Allstate keeps talking about efficiency, but the biggest inefficiency is the never-ending redundant management. Getting rid of some of those layers would help by cutting costs and reducing the bureaucratic nonsense we deal with daily. It's a win... — read more
2027 Agency Framework
This is mentioned a few times... does anyone know anything about it?
So no more Agency Mergers?
Only outside buyers allowed? Are they trying to ki-l the book value even more?
Pay
I’m sure we are all excited about the pending 3.6% raise for those at the top. Company talks about our high profits and then nothing.
Question For Tech People
Anyone working in tech - is there any area that is not completely and utterly dysfunctional? Seemingly everywhere I look, we are lead by absolute muppets?
