If I used to have some kind of work/life balance before, now I don't have it at all. Overloaded with work, I feel like I'm constantly working and I'm totally exhausted. I desperately need to find something new soon. Does anyone here actually... — read more
Worried? It IS better at other carriers
I left Allstate 6 months ago. I was worried about layoffs even though I worked 7 days a week. At my new job I am not micromanaged anywhere near to the extent I was at Allstate. When I review a demand, it is not picked apart line by line by someone... — read more
BROUGHT UP QUESTION OF RETURN TO OFFICE TO LEADERS TODAY
Had our monthly department town hall about returning to office requirements today. We are not of any one location but we all at one point were in an office before the pandemic. We were told that while they do not know of any firm dates or... — read more
Weekly Eric Brandt fluffing post
Describe how Eric Brandt's leadership and personal example has inspired you to become a better person.
Pension Interest Rates
How many experienced folks will Big Blue lose over these pension interest rates? Many long-time employees will take a huge hit if they stay passed November. Get ready for a mass exodus.
Why are many disappointed when they finally get promoted?
The thing is that Allstate looks for 2 thing, people to either get promoted to get more money and stay or for people to take that small raise each year and not leave. The ones that don't like what is going on leave, and that is why I gave my... — read more
Why Do We Even Still Have Agents?
instead of layoffs in the claims operations, where the only actual work gets done, why didn't allstate just lay off every single agent? they have no purpose. nothing they do can't be done by the general number and a website where people can pick and... — read more
Few still see a future at Allstate
Everybody knows this is true for us older employees who've been here long enough to see the company go from a decent to a terrible place to work, but this is now true even for new hires. Just ask anybody who joined in the last few years what their... — read more
Notified we are going back to office by 2nd quarter 2023
We were told today that all employees and roles enterprise wide who were in office when pandemic started will be returning by 2nd quarter 2023 (after holidays and winter) to the office where offices are still leased or owned by Allstate. Some that... — read more
Co-worker had heart attack from work stress today
Ambulance took him from home to hospital. His wife said he has been having a really tough time mentally with stress from his work and has been very depressed the last few months. She fully contributed this to Allstate and what it has done to him. I... — read more
If Inflation is 10% and my raise was 3% and is my REAL SALARY now 7% less that it was a year ago?
Should I complain and do I stand any chance of righting this wrong.
Another Town Hall
Another meeting with no mention of layoffs. I’m just going to have to go and stop waiting for it to happen. I wish I was old enough to retire.
A way for Allstate to retain the remaining talented employees
Certainly there are many more, but one of the ways for this company to keep some good employees who are still here and thus slow down its decline - is not to make more pushes for return to the office. It is not the first time that I hear from... — read more
Can anyone confirm what severence will be if laid off
I have seen on this site at least 5 years tenure but have seen two weeks for every year and also 1 week for every two years. Which is accurate or have you heard something different?
Geico is unionizing
Read it and weap.i just want to know what's stopping you guys still there?
Anyone know when CCC unlicensed getting their notice?
They already moved the CCC person's helping in claims back to CCC and separated teams by licensed and unlicensed. We know unlicensed CCC is being outsourced almost completely but any known timeframe?
You must be on the move all the time
There are many complaints from those who are stuck here expecting a promotion that never came. I would never risk losing so much time stuck on one job. The most important thing is to know when to quit. Why don't people learn from the experience of... — read more
What kind of horrible company tries to scare its workforce to quit?
That is all these announcements are. Further demoralizing and creating a hostile and fear filled environment to try and stress and depress their workforce into quitting so a few rich shareholders and overpaid officers can run off with a little more... — read more
Where has the professionalism gone?
It's terrible what mediocrities I have to work with here. Is it that there is no more professionalism or is it that nobody cares about being professional anymore?
It might just be the sales department that needs work
I have to speak out about the market sales associate program and why it is failing. First I would bet that 75 % of new hires don't last 6 months. Most fail or leave because they are constantly on probation. Allstate burns through cash recruiting... — read more
Actually, claims is overstaffed
claims counts are down. the issue is adjusters don't want to do any work, as usual. they just want to show up, 9-5 and draw a paycheck. this isn't a 9-5 job though. we're here for the customer. these adjusters don't get it. leaving on time is leaving... — read more
Allstate Lump-Sum Going Down?
I heard the lump-sum is dropping. Is this true?
At one time Brandt said that claims really needs to watch their expenses
Honestly a good point, and shows how much skill and insight he has
Jerome Powell’s rate hikes could speed up layoffs
Something to keep in mind!
What is reducing costs?
Anybody else notice Tom say we need to increase prices and reduce costs? What are the cost reductions they have in mind?
Agent Conference 2022
Do not register and attend this online meeting It will send the message that we need better leadership in 2023
Third party he-l
Third party reps are impossible to manage effectively which is a direct issue for TG. How is this so hard for the corporate gang to understand? They are the face of the company so yes when they show up looking like trash or are rude or are making... — read more
People mostly hate their jobs here
It is quite understandable why many have come to hate their job here, a job they once enjoyed. The problem is, however, that many stay despite having lost all motivation. However, if all those who despise working here left, I wonder who would remain... — read more
So home office wants us back in the office
Tommy "strongly encourages" us to return to available and open offices per today's connections meetings. Some of us saw this coming. They couldn't sell and turn over a lot of the offices during the pandemic so now they want them to be used. We can... — read more
Bold Move in Connections Meeting
Did anyone else notice someone wrote "I miss job security :(" in the Connections meeting? It happened at 10:05 am CST. AVK was bold to just openly say that.
Prediction
I have no inside knowledge but I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Wilson suddenly retired also right before selling us all out to vendors and takes his money
Pointless meeting
What's the point of bringing somebody to a meeting to share his experiences if you're going to ignore him the entire meeting? All that was achieved was wasting my time. I wasn't even allowed to say anything, and I certainly tried. Higher-ups like to... — read more
Glenn Shapiro retired and now Dan Trudan
It's about to get wild
Nat Gen Vs. Allstate Claims
It is very strange to me that we are both “Allstate” products, but handle claims totally different. No roof process in Nat Gen/Encompass- if you have an Nat Gen/Encompass policy- you can get a new roof with 4 hits compared to Allstate 11 hits. ... — read more
What is the reputation of Allstate now?
Within the last decade, I’ve noticed its reputation crashing. Take lawyers, whether defense or plaintiff. I do not ever hear good things said. I hear words like lowball and cheap. Agents are miserable. Employees are miserable. Is anyone pleased? Are... — read more
Anyone listen to the investors call
Anyone ??
This book reminds me of this awful place...
Has anyone read "Flushy: a Tale of Corporate Satire in the Insurance Industry"?? Reminds me a lot of this horrid place.
