Mario's coming for you.... Stay tuned.
Sad Branding
I was a long term employee. I was driving in my car and saw what looked like a closed agency. I am in a MAJOR metropolitan area (got this company their growth results). An old, aged sign in a location was not taken down and in effect looks like our... — read more
Brandt should have gotten Glenn’s job
He would be a perfect fit. He has shown he has the integrity, skills, and would be one of the few people who could get Allstate personal lines back on track
A message for agents
I think it is only fair to let you all know what is coming for agents in terms of the changes in underwriting and agency services. Things will be changing big time for our agents. *Underwriting will be about 90% automated and AI. No more... — read more
This week is my last
I've learned that there are things more important than money - including a normal workload, doing something you enjoy, and a good work environment - so I decided to accept an offer that is 15 percent under my current pay. It's not ideal, but I think... — read more
Has management met with your department to discuss possible layoffs/vendor restructing
I'm in asdu and management told us in the meeting every department will get met with last week individually. I just want to see if that's true or do you work in a department that hasn't had a meeting or heard anything?
Thank you everyone for the heads up
Allstate management preaches transparency and I'll give them a little credit that they gave us a few months advance before layoffs in 2020 and also this year. However, they pretend like they don't know the areas and timeline. The people that post on... — read more
Sept 15?
Casualty Town Hall meeting. Is this the day??
Mario Rizzo
Other thAn a bean counter who is this guy and why should we trust him
Outsourcing is happening
Outsourcing is coming and soon. Stop denying that outsource may be happening to your area. You may be in denial because you don't want to believe it but it is coming. While all detail aren't finalized or communicated at this point, many areas may... — read more
A gallon of milk in India
All you really need to know where your jobs are going is concerned,,is to look at the cost of a gallon of milk in India. It’s not rocket science to understand that the people in India are smart, gracious, and very capable and willing to takeover... — read more
No more fear that I could get into an even worse situation
I was skeptical about the stories that the grass is much greener in other companies. Now I don't have any dilemma anymore. What is the probability that somewhere could be worse than here? Very small, almost non-existent.
Never experienced such bad treatment anywhere else
I have worked in several companies both in this industry and outside of this industry, but nowhere have I experienced such bad treatment as here. Applying to Allstate was my biggest mistake. Did you also get the impression that the superiors... — read more
Today’s CCO All In Huddle
nothing was said about layoffs. They’re filling the roles of people who have left. Just a lot of shifting work and opening up phone lines so everyone can take calls. (That means working holidays I’m sure). And attorney mail. Sounds like so much... — read more
That is not always possible
Everyone here says that it's not worth putting in too much effort and exhausting yourself because Allstate doesn't value it. That I agree with, however, can we all apply that advice here? My opinion is that we cannot. Some may be able to work on... — read more
Mario
As bad as Shapiro was for the employee, expect it to get much worse with Mario…. How bad do the future plans need to be that even the grim reaper known as SHAPIRO could not lay off people and destroy company infrastructure quick enough for Wilson... — read more
Out of touch
How out of touch is leadership at this h@@lhole. They really think during times of job uncertainties that the common employee gives two s@@ts about the type of music, career history or private time pursuits of any senior leader. Narcissistic and self... — read more
Stop working so hard
Working harder or in your own time is not going to save you. Most of those laid off in 2020 were high performers who in the eyes of leadership…..made too much money.. You are just a cog in their money game… Stop working so hard. Let the claims pile... — read more
I want to apologize
I was one of those who didn't believe and openly bashed those who said vendors and layoffs were coming. I did not believe them. After what we were told in our huddle today and how it completely mirrored the posts that have been made for over a month... — read more
I don’t think this site should have mods
And if they do, they should have to justify why a post was removed.
There's nothing wrong with 'quiet quitting'
Everybody is attacking 'quiet quitting' as something slackers do because we've been indoctrinated to believe that if we're not staying extra hours, working on weekends, and overall breaking our backs for the company, we're not doing enough. That's... — read more
36 million ways to save this company
While the process has started to inform Allstaters of the vendors and force reductions that are coming in the next phase of Transformative Growth I can't help but think of one easy and seamless way to instantly save $36 million without it having any... — read more
Disconnected from Reality
Anyone else completely disgusted by this afternoon’s Property-Liabilty Connections meeting with Glenn, Mario & Julie? As leaders across PL are sharing very upsetting news about our future vending plans and the possibility of many losing their jobs... — read more
I wouldn't mind getting clipped and getting severance
Let's face it. Transformative growth has been an epic failure. I understand cutting expenses, but upper management has cut the wrong areas. Service has been at an all time low since I've been here for the customer and the most recent earning was a... — read more
Real irony
For years now, I've been watching Allstate lose large sums of money while trying to save pennies. Isn't that the biggest irony? Someone made a great comment about it in one of the posts below.
CCC meetings today. Going to vendors and a lot of layoffs expected
Timeline unknown. Full company impacts from what we were told.
Allstate Connections with GS
Gonna miss that guy. I hope he shares more dog pics and talk about the Patriots in the meeting today.
Does anyone have a timeline for when layoffs and vendor restructuring will happen
I got out of a meeting and it's all true. In the meeting they said there isn't a timeline, but I'm sure there really is. Has anyone heard anything? Also l, they said every dept will hear this news by the end of the week
Liability/property call
I have heard there’s in a call today under GS department. I’m under a different svp but did they say anything in that call
You were a good Allstate!
To fellow Allstater’s terminated in 2020…These are contemplating times with a president being terminated after long term employees have lost “our” long term jobs with devastating impact on our retirement, after long term service. We have had to... — read more
Tom Wilson to retire
In the next 5 years. Now you Re in the know and it has leaked
If everyone on here claims they are so plugged into upper management and their plans why didn't anyone leak glenn Shapiro retiring?
I'm curious to know. I feel most posts on here are lies
A few points to be made
First, it is not just front line or FLLs that frequent and post on this board. There are some high level folks that participate here and know what is coming. They do not agree with what this company plans to announce within the next week. Second... — read more
Tom Wilson salary
Tom is making 36.4 million every year. Would inflation ever affect him. We struggle to get a raise of 3000 usd a year and if we get it it’s taken away by increase in medical insurance. I have lost complete hope in this management and company. Soon... — read more
Falling behind rivals
It may sound ugly, but I would be happy to receive an offer from direct competitors. Recently, I had a little discussion with my colleagues about how much Allstate lags behind its rivals, so I'm interested in your opinion as well?
Will Glenn be fine money wise?
Let’s say he has to wait until 2/23 to get that 1.1mm Do you think that will impact his lifestyle even 1%
Who’s replacing Glenn?

The misery will continue
Maybe some hope that positive changes will start happening now? Any arguments? I still think that will misery will continue.
