I was an employee at liberty mutual that was a part of shapiros purge. You are a mirror image of what occurred at LM. Shapiro left a demoralized employee group that still struggles to believe anything that management says... The moment that he was... — read more
The sad truth.
Let’s face it. We are only as good as the leader. Take a good look at the leader... CEO Tom Wilson. He was drunk as fûck in the June town hall and more than likely was not suppose to announce the RIFs & lay offs yet. Why would he care, he’s sitting... — read more
The Allstate CEO Bottom line
In looking at the top 5 officers total compensation on a yearly basis, you see consistency. When you look at Tom Wilson's total compensation, you see something totally different. Look at the pay, the avg employee pay, and CEO Ratios. These are from... — read more
Pto
Anyone’s regional leader advised you must schedule future pto days due to the end of heat approaching? And only want people to have 5 days left remaining.
I’ve appreciated how it’s been handled
Like many of you I just want to know where I stand. Do I have a job or don’t I? Like many of you I’m stressed, scared, a little angry and just want to know my fate. Good or bad, I just want to know. But I do appreciate how this RIF is being... — read more
Some observations
I am old enough to remember when one of Allstate’s goals was to be “an employer of choice” for folks coming out of college. It appears that we have evolved to a point where there appears to be an anger at thegeneral employee from those who currently... — read more
Please tell us and get this over already
Instead of smiling on the camera have some concern and please start telling employees if they are going to be laid off so they can start looking for jobs. The spouses of the employees think this is a horrendous way you were handling the situation
ASCAP
Someone should notify Kool and the Gang and Pink Floyd their music is being used by Allstate. How can they afford to pay the royalties? Our expenses are WAY TO HIGH in the market GS said over and over.
Confidentiality notice
Was interesting the Town Hall lead with that this time. Confirms what I thought : HR and who knows what other home office blowhards follow the posts on this board. I’m surprised I haven’t seen a “What does a Lay-off.com Lurker do?” position article... — read more
APB FOR MR. WILSON
Honestly, where the he!! is Wilson. He's been missing since the June 11th meeting to most of us commoners. Is he on the freaking lam or something? Did they freeze him like Walt Disney? It's incredible he hasn't shown his toupee during all this... — read more
JIM JUST CONFIRMED ALLSTATE IS HOLDING US HOSTAGE
Jim stated in the meeting that we will have 60 days to leave the company after we find out if we are considered redundant, and that if we leave before those 60 days are up we won’t get our severance package. If a company offers you a job, they... — read more
Way to k--l the morale
Making everyone wait to see who is in the “thousands” bucket is terrible. I can already see the morale plummeting. A lot of talent is going to leave out of fear because they just keep dragging this out slowly. These are not the Allstate values they... — read more
Just like the others...
Just when you think you’ve settled into a corporate company that isn’t “just like all the others.” I suppose that no one should be surprised that this is happening, regardless of what you thought of Allstate prior to Transformative Growth being... — read more
I find this sad...and it did not need to happen this way.
I am a long term employee. I have had a good career and always bled “Allstate blue.” I was proud to work for this corporation and was proud of the work that we did. Never in my nightmares would I have anticipated a time when we would have a senior... — read more

Today's Town Hall Did More Harm Than Good
From the Kool and the Gang "Celebrate" song leading us in, GS instantly in a mocking tone telling us there would not be any real information or announcements regarding layoffs as soon as it started (the only real transparency of the whole thing)... — read more
Glacial pace
Even in normal, non-COVID, times this plan of telling us in June that our jobs were in jeopardy but waiting until October to finalize it is nothing short of sadistic. Most companies would not be so slow and transparent. It almost seems like we are... — read more
Push yourself always
Used to work for a competitor and I was laid off close to my 15 year mark. I liked working there, it was a great place. It was also however like a warm blanket for a long nap. Do not ever get complacent at work. You may think you are super well... — read more
Be kind....
Always be kind and respect others! I realize this is a naive question for an anonymous forum, but couldn't we all be a bit more kind and respectful on this forum? I've been reading through the posts today to understand what's happening, and... — read more
Simple math
So you tell us it’s simple our insurance premiums are to high so must lay people off to reduce that ........ hmmmmmmmmmmm I’m thinking confuses says you all need to take a freakin pay cut . How is it our ceo makes more than twice as much as State... — read more
Wow
Gs response to one question was heck no , we’re going to do this the Allstate way ...... um hey hoss that’s what we’re afraid of you stooge !
LDU IS NOT REDUNDANT!
Anyone in LDU anywhere, any state with Allstate, got an assessment? No one I know has. You need all of LDU! My manager states this isn't a redundant role and she thinks we will be safe.
I’m officially over it
I will do the bare minimum of work until I know for sure. They can keep me working until their designated time but I will be taking it easy af.
Oh my goodness
I can’t take anymore months of this. How do we continue like this?! This is just wrong wrong wrong.
Leadership definitely reads this forum
Ha! Let me answer a question that I happened to see in the forum I mean was emailed to me. And also let me see how I can spin this around. How can we spend 4 billion on nat gen when we are trying to cut expenses.
No Recordings
They are monitoring this forum. There were a number of posts about recording meetings and now they started the meeting telling us no recordings allowed.
The audacity to play “celebration” right before the meeting
This is just becoming ridiculous people.
Celebrate?
Poor choice of opening songs
Just tell us
Seriously, just tell us if we have 60 days from today or 60 days from September etc... You said we in claims will know by the end of this month-stick by what you say. You drill it in us to hold ourselves accountable to customers when setting... — read more
7/28 Townhall-Transparent
How transparent do with think Glenn is going to be on this town hall today? Even a little bit transparent?
Tomorrow's Town Hall Not Layoff Related
Hearing information this evening that tomorrow's town hall with GS will not address the current layoff situation. It is more regarding Allstate's response to COVID and the state of the industry and Allstate as a whole in regards to the pandemic.. ... — read more
Agency status
There are over 1000 agencies for sale, considering a sale or considering TPP while this clown show continues. Very sad state of affairs across the country and many state zero confidence in Upper management.
Performance
is performance going to be a big indicator of who stays and goes?
