So whomever posted about this "announcement " on the 18th why have you not responded to the inquiries about what it's for?

So, who else had their meeting? What do you think will come from it? I see a lot of accountability, and a lot of rude awakenings!

How do you let our voice be heard? Our insureds will suffer, claimants as all can attest are always dirt to Allstate....how can QFC continue? Every shop I know hates, already hates Allstate by reputation = now it's obvious they are screwing out... — read more 

Performance doesnt matter the officers of company all have stock options that increase when they announce layoffs in press. Its clear how bad morale is i mean they had to have a 1 day training course to ORDER us to be happy and made "leadership" the... — read more 

With how they laid off people in a very secretive manner on June 14, I really doubt the July 18 announcement will be for layoffs. Remember, "impacted" (laid off) employees were emailed an invite the DAY BEFORE to join a conference call that was... — read more 

I wish management would read this board, but that's to much to ask they don't even ask workers for input. Home office puts things in place and does not realize the negative effect it has on the company. I've meant a lot of people at Allstate that... — read more 

Is (supposedly) a corporate value. I've learned more about managements plans here than on any Corp emails. Sad, but not surprised. As 20 year employee company has lost market share and respect since de mutualization and is run by execs who have stock... — read more

I cant tell where most of you all are from or which offices you worked at, but one of the happiest days of my life was the day I left Allstate. We were always just numbers to them. Yes they did 'recognition' but you had to be a favorite and a kiss... — read more 

LAyoff over 1200 staff while we earned them record profits, unheard of ratios and everything filling the honchos corporate jets, stadiums, cruises, all the millions they spend on outside fluff and crap for head honchos pisses me off!

The last couple years working as a field tech, crazy things began to happen to me. I was constantly reprimanded to not completing heavy hits in drive in under 20 min. Also, I had regional staff get on my case for not handling customers that were 2... — read more 

Does anyone know exactly how many were let go in total?? Waiting for the s**t to hit the fan in Bridgewater.

The company is going downhill fast. Morale is awful. Management has no clue. Despite what you think you see customers do not like quick foto claim. Cusotmers pay a company like Allstate money because they were told for years that you get Cadillac... — read more

Hey Glenn: take a lesson from Sir Richard Branson. When asked about making customers first, he says: "No, I put my employee's first, because when we take care of them, they take care of the customer with no problem". Gee, must be working over at... — read more 

I retired after 30 years, not only because I saw what was coming with Quick Foto, but because I was tired of being treated like crap by Allstate. The expectations to perform were unreasonable. Allstate customers should refuse to take their own photos... — read more

The Quick Foto option is just Allstate's way of paying the customer less then the repairs cost and after depositing the money directly in the consumers account hoping they spend it and not fix there car. There is no ethical interest for the customer... — read more

My auto office has a number of employees who would have gladly taken the severance package and retired. Many jobs nationwide could have been saved. Many families not impacted. Would this have been too much to asks?

From @NSFYtCu-1pcd, it is so disheartening to see how they did this. Unfortunately this layoff that just occurred was done in a very impersonal and abrupt manner which is why I think so many people are upset. It wasn't based on performance, there was... — read more

What is extremely disappointing about how this was executed was that performance was apparently not a factor. I am not sure what message is being sent to the current employees? There was always a belief that if you were a high performer, that even if... — read more 

Were any casualty folks let go or just auto folks? I feel like I'm working for another company. So very sad. I'm so sorry for all of those that lost their jobs. Sends a terrible message to those left behind.

At least we're not doing auto claims. Sounds like major lay offs country wide the last few days. I hope they don't come up with a way to do QFC for residential claims.

Info from a coworker that is relocating to North Carolina is that QFC is looking at ways to take over total loss as well. They want to see if it's feasible to send out vendors tow yards and take photos and adjusters can run the valuation based off of... — read more
