Regarding those Impacted by Security Related Outages Today
Consider this your termination letter from the Z-Man
E5 subscription/ contract
What a racquet by Microsoft. Waste of millions, will never make sense. E5 is way too expensive for what it offers… 100s of features are redundan or underused. Infosec tools are complex : require expert setup, slow to setup, hard to use... Licensing... — read more
Zulfi and his Okta contract
Word in tech sales circles is that big Z signed a $4-10m contract without knowing if Allstate can use Okta. Surprise surprise, we can’t use it. Talk about transformative growth!
Advice
Allstate is a good company. It is NOT the same it was before. And certainly not be for me it went public. I worked there then and was let go in 2020. So, I know! I had a good job and was happy, mostly. If you are not happy. GO. Stop talking about... — read more
Listen up kids
Things change, always have, always will. I been at Allstate 22 years and seen it all. You wanna cry about how things used to be? Fine. But the world ain't going backwards for nobody. Either get with the program or get out. All this whining just makes... — read more

Death Spiral From Too Many New Leaders Due to Forced Retirement
For all their flaws, I don't think I appreciated nearly enough how valuable it was to have sr. and executive leaders who were close enough to retirement to actually stand up for what is right or even just to stand up for a coherent strategy longer... — read more
STAR questions for casualty
How would I go about receiving interview prep for an internal position I applied for in the represented segment? I dont mean shadow someone or have my manager practice with me (I've tried it's not useful to prepare for the interview). I'd like to... — read more
Severance is nothing but a trap
They present the severance package like some generous gift, but let's be real, it's just hush money. The paperwork is designed to make you forfeit any legal claims in exchange for a few weeks' pay. Of course most people sign. When you're suddenly... — read more
I think attrition has reached a new time high
Leadership acts like turnover is normal, but it’s all the good people leaving. The ones left are either checked out or drowning. But sure, let’s pretend it's nothing but “natural attrition.”
New CVS People
On a bright note, the new CVS VP people that come into the circus actually seem like pretty nice and genuine people. When will the lions eat them?
Severance
US package seems to be the normal one, last day 6/5, but on the books til 7/28. Then 2 weeks pay per year of service as severance Does this mean there's no base severance? Basically, if I'm laid off today and I've been here for les then a year, I... — read more
That's a nope from me
Nothing ki-ls morale faster than a manager who brags about working 80-hour weeks like it's a badge of honor. Suddenly, it becomes the expectation for everyone. If my boss can't respect boundaries, I'm not sticking around to find out how much worse it... — read more

So the monthly survey is expecting flawless results and if concerned employees even voice their opinions. Zulfi is going to personally look at and weed out the negativity. May aswell just sack us all now
Rolling layoffs continuing through the end of summer?
That’s what I’ve been hearing. Honestly, I wouldn’t be too upset if I were let go with a decent severance package.
DAT having an All Hands meeting on Wednesday
Tao Chen (who thinks everything should be automated by AI) has called an All Hands meeting for Wednesday. I'm assuming this means yet another reorg but wondering if this also means RIFs. Does anyone have any inside info on this?
Sick of this place

ATSC
Does anyone know why the ATSC leaders where asked to score there analysts out of 20 for?

Impacts in Tech
Our area not directly but heard some ATSC and India areas impacted. Unsure on exact number. Some leaders as well. That should help get these tens of thousands of tickets resolved in a timely manner. SMH.
ASC is the nail in the coffin for EA offices
Please tell me you are in an EA office and are writing tons of auto. The dailies show one or two offices that have 20 auto items. I looked and they are call centers in other states with no storefront. Is that what we’re supposed to do? I can’t get... — read more
