They didn't seem to care at all

From everything said during townhall, I didn’t even understand what Allstate intends to do to keep people from continuing to flee this company?

Remote positions

How safe are remote positions? I was thinking of going fully remote, but I'm worried if that's a smart choice in the long run. I'm thinking that remote jobs can easily be outsourced and since this is Allstate, I doubt they'd care about the quality of... — read more

Arity screwed up

Much like allstate, Arity laid a large swathe of it's staff off last year, and funny thing is, with how quickly people have been jumping ship the last 18 months, they are now severely understaffed and don't know the first thing about hiring tech/data... — read more

Do they know what they are doing?

It seems to me that they didn’t think much at all when they made big cuts, nor after that with hiring and overhiring new people. While some departments are staffed with a lot more hires than needed, others have one person doing a triple workloads... — read more

I propose an employee survey

The one that'll truly matter. Ask every single employee if they have been searching for a new job in the last month, six months, and a year. That's it. That's the only question that needs to be on there. That single question will tell management more... — read more

Leaving for competitor

I’m curious of the protocol for leaving for a competitor. I have heard you’re “walked out” immediately but with the new remote work and Allstate’s deportation for employees I’m curious if you’d be allowed to work your last two weeks. Any insight? — read more

1-week pay withholding in 2020?

Layoffs shouldn't be necessary

I can't understand why layoffs keep happening when attrition is as high as it is. It would make some sense if people were only leaving certain departments and they needed to cull those that are having very few departures, but those don't exist! The... — read more

Changing times

Non claim comment….some in departments are having to STEP UP for the first time in their long prosperous career. They were retained (HR) but no longer have the people to do their job. Oh well. I guess you’ll have to work.

I find the talk of motivation amusing

Whenever I see people complain about not having the motivation to work because of this or that, I find it both funny and entitled. Your motivation to do your job and do it well should be driven by your pay. Nothing more, nothing less. Now if you're... — read more

The difference between departments

Culture is toxic, morale is low, I think that could be said for all Allstate departments. Still, I wonder which department do you think is the most/ least toxic?

Feel ashamed to be a part of this company!
