Word from my coworker in management is that layoffs for SCO are to occur then. Need to brush up the resume after 6 years :(
Claims getting lit up
First 60 claims processors laid off last week. 40 auto adjusters moving to CCC as a claims help desk for CCC, India being assigned auto/prop files as of this week, and now strong rumblings of large impacts to FNOL coming sometime in June. Buckle... — read more
Technology Layoffs?
Given the large presence of technology staff in India and Northern Ireland, will there be upcoming layoffs in North America?
Please explain
For all you big brains that keep preaching that everyone is getting payed off in claims. How do figure out re-insurance is going to work considering they require staff to handle a large percentage of claims. That’s physical inspections so don’t try... — read more
After you have given notice...
The remaining few days that you still worked in the company - did you do bare minimum, almost nothing, or did you still do the best you could because you didn't want to leave a bad impression in the end?
Jon Adkisson from Esurance
Adkisson would have been a way better executive than Brandt to move from Esurance to Allstate. Plus he was the Esurance CEO Anyone else think it’s weird he wasn’t picked?
Can’t they hire professionals?
No one is interested in working here anymore? I had no doubt that one day this would happen, that no one with any talent would want to work here anymore.
Commercial Specialty Stability
Does anyone have any insight as to how stable commercial specialty is? AKA Uber / Lyft? Or does anyone have any insight regarding those adjuster roles in general as I was thinking about switching to that side
Tom Wilson really got a raise....REALLY??
With all the layoffs, how the he-l did Wilson get a fu----g raise in total compensation from $16 million to $18 million..... Unbelievable.
Update on auto adjusters moving to CCC
A few of us were just told that the 30-40 auto adjusters being moved to CCC third week of June are to be a part if the new "Customer Claims Engagement" group that CCC is building. We will be handling routed calls and chats from CCC service that are... — read more
Who is NOT leaving?
Outside of people who are a couple of years away from retirement, who is planning to stay here indefinitely? How many of you are looking at this as a long-term job? I know most of the new employees are usually looking to leave within a year of... — read more
More and more work types to India
This company just keeps going full speed ahead with claim work types moving to India Service is horrible and complaints are through the roof ! You can’t get through to them at all…even when you do reach them on the phone !! They don’t... — read more
Job market is on fire
The job market is literally on fire right now, as many companies are having a hard time finding people. Go on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, exc, and you will see more postings than ever for insurance job, many even work from home. Quite the opposite of a... — read more
Without Glenn Shapiro Allstate is 1000 times better
I really believe that if you take Glenn Shapiro's failed plans, failed processes, and flawed and disastrous vision out of Allstate you have a vastly better company. The vast majority of low morale, toxic attitudes, and feelings of hopelessness in... — read more
If you're on the fence about quitting
I saw this mentioned somewhere and it helped me, so I figured I'd share. If you can't decide if you want to quit or not, remove layoffs as a factor from your consideration. Think about your job minus the layoffs and see if you would be happy here if... — read more
Tom Wilson Puzzles
Does anyone else remember that town hall when TW mentioned that him and his wife are part of a book club and love puzzles?
Glenn Shapiro animal shelters
Does the fact that he gives hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to help animals change your opinion of him at all? Or the fact that he would likely give money to someone who was struggling?
A note to all
I resigned from my position as a senior property adjuster right after Allstate shut down ERL and raised the threshold to 4 claims a day. I realized pretty quick that Allstate did not value my loyalty or work ethic. I have accepted a position with... — read more
Claim layoffs
Property claims desperately need independent adjusters. Our work load is through the roof, not to mention the HUNDREDS of employees quitting and us taking on their load. Why don’t they take the auto adjusters and put them here instead of the ccc???... — read more
Glenn Shapiro
I was really excited when Shapiro joined Allstate in 2016 or so. I understood what he did to Liberty Mutual, but in his early talks around home office, he spoke about learning from past mistakes and being more thoughtful in his decisions. I am keen... — read more
If you can, stay away from Allstate
In case somebody is here because they're vetting Allstate to see if they should apply: don't. If you're smart and know what you're doing any place will be better than this. Here, you will only be seen as a threat and no amount of good and hard work... — read more
Will we be able to get severance again?
If we were laid off prior and come back to the company in another role do we get severance again if laid off again. Or is it a one time thing per employee? I was able to save up and not use all the severance other than the prorated portion that I am... — read more
What area is facing layoffs next?
I know legal is undergoing layoffs starting in August but who is next?
I don't want to get burned twice
When I joined Allstate I thought I was making the right move for my career. That turned out not to be true much quicker than I could have ever imagined. Now, I've found another position but I'm too scared to accept. I'm worried I might end up in a... — read more
Transformative Greed
First let me welcome the company internal auditors, security and whatever hired to do damage control since this site started trending on social media. Oh IM a crazy conspiracy theorist. Okay. Transformative Growth is a nothing but cutting costs... — read more
Allstate is a disappointment to everyone
My question is for those who are new to this company: how quickly were you disappointed to have accepted the job here? Despite my advice to try somewhere else, my friend’s son accepted a job at Allstate, regretted it in two months, and is already... — read more
I don't want to do someone else's job
I had already taken on a lot of work after my colleague left. Now another colleague has left Allstate and there are good chances that I will have to take over his job as well. I absolutely don't want that. I mean, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t... — read more
Layoffs 2021 look to be underway
My thoughts and positive vibes to everyone and all areas that are or to be impacted. Everyone will end up better in the long run and it will all be ok.
Desensitized to layoffs
I think there have been so many cuts here recently, small and large, that we've become desensitized to it. I remember when every mention of layoffs caused outrage among everybody. Now, most people glance over it and move on. Unless it affects us... — read more
Claims Cuts Underway
50+ in processing and over 20 in SIU got their walking papers on Thursday. Other claims areas to be impacted over time through August as the expected transition of claims to India starts to take hold and becomes reality.
Some claims processors got 60 day notices
Two folks I know got their 60 day notices today. Same severance package as usual. Not certain how many impacted today for sure but there were over 20 people in their meeting. The two I know were tenured more than 5 years.
Toxic auto environment
I work in Auto and have never been so stressed in my life. Everyone is on edge and ready to push work off onto others and point fingers. Can’t say I’ll be doing the “right” thing much longer. Doing the right thing only results in coaching about... — read more
Skills that make you less replaceable?
Some argue that you are less likely to be cut if you have more skills. I don't really believe it, because I know of people who had very specialized skills, but Allstate got rid of them very easily. Anyway, I'm interested in what are the specialized... — read more
Lead attorneys at SCO do nothing
Genuinely curious if yours actually do anything? They are laying off good attorneys and keeping these Leads who do literally nothing all day.
GS’s next role?
What insured company do you guys think he will ruin next?
Can't Promote if you live in CA
Has anyone else been told they can't promote to a higher position/band or apply for another position if they live in CA?
Eric Brandt salary
Disclosures show Brandt has total compensation of around $1.1 million a year. This really isn’t super high when you think about it....more like highly paid doctor or lawyer level. People should quite acting like he is making all this money or a... — read more
Who is in the SCO is looking for a new job?
Doomsday appears to be rearing its head.
What is Allstate doing to prevent layoffs?
Serious companies have a plan, but is Allstate doing anything at all to prevent possible cuts? They don't seem to be doing anything about it.
Did Allstate really need Nat Gen?
I don't think so, and it's better that the purchase didn't happen. I have a bad feeling that the end of that story will be very sad, with a lot of losses and a lot of layoffs.
