We get this off this year (Friday before is the business day before holiday in 2021) or was it a one time thing in 2020?

I swear, this has to be the worst company I have ever worked for. The incompetence on all levels of management is astounding. All the changes made in the past several years make no sense. It makes you wonder if the ELT has any idea what they're... — read more 

Others have posted that there will be layoffs in legal - I have not heard this. I think there will be some positions which become “redundant “, but Legal saves the company TONS of money & most legal departments are quite busy - so why would they lay... — read more 

I have been busy since our 11am meeting this morning that I referenced in the thread below. There were no layoffs to announce however 45 of us auto adjusters are being repurposed and moved to roles in the CCC and will report to the CCC as of Monday... — read more 

Been gone for 5 months now, and still no word on returning my monitor and laptop. When do they usually reach out? Could they just be so unorganized that they don’t know what equipment I have??

Does it seem to you that this company is not doing anything to repair the damage caused by poorly made moves? It's sometimes fascinating to me that Allstate isn't doing much about it. Even if they try sometimes, it obviously doesn't work out the... — read more 

Anyone else on autopilot mode? I used to wake up dreading the workday and after a while I lost all motivation to work. Now I only work the bare minimum. There is no longer any hope that Allstate can motivate employees to be more engaged. As for me... — read more 

Let’s be honest, $16 million a year to Tom is fair because of how much responsibility he has, and how much hard work he has to do.

Welp, they CLEARLY said that they will be laying people off across the board in Legal to "meet company needs". What a joke that call was. Listening to them read from a script. Glad I have been job searching.

Today at 11. Looks like about 50 of us in it. Titled "Department Update". We are in auto adj. Anyone else get and any ideas of what this is?

If you were apart of the Nat Gen/ Encompass Town hall meeting last week- if you read between all of the vagueness that was given- you can tell there will be major changes coming that way. Even though we are very short handed- many will be let go... — read more 

This is a perfect example of what this company has sowed. Absolute discord between sales arms and service arms. Finger pointing at every department yet no one taking any accountability for their own short comings. A great company, has everyone... — read more 

Whenever someone leaves, their job is transferred to the rest of us. That way I now do work for several people. It becomes unclear which job should be a priority, whether I should continue to be the most dedicated to my job or whether the priority... — read more 

This company is doing everything as sneaky as possible to make adjusters quit. Tremendous file load, processes, and short staffing. Obviously, they want all to leave so they can ramp up India adjusters. What a mess

This is for those who have remained loyal to the company. I’m going to tell you what someone told me a long time ago before he was laid off. If the company doesn’t care then why should you? Let that sink in for a minute. Misplaced loyalty won’t... — read more 

I'm at the point where Allstate has soured me on the entire industry. I have an option to switch to one of our competitors but I'm thinking of passing and waiting until I can find something completely different. Also, how different can they be... — read more 

If you ask these two fearless leaders what they care about most about the future of this company it isn’t about the frontline workers and their jobs, compensation , futures with the company . Tom and Glen’s primary concerns are their bank accounts ... — read more

This job is horrible and all of you deserve so much better. I pray that everybody is able to find a job somewhere else and leave this horrendous place behind. There are a lot of employers that treat their employees with dignity and respect. I found... — read more 

I am looking to hear about people who have been around long enough to have seen prior VTO's with the company, and what the aftermath was, meaning how many people jumped ship v. stayed and what the work environment was like after? Were there... — read more 

For as long as there are suckers who are willing to join Allstate for miserable pay and no benefits, we will see no changes. No matter how many people quit, for as long as they can find replacements they're not going to attempt to improve working... — read more 

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have dinner with one of these guys as a front line employee and explain to them from a first hand prospective what changes need to be made!? The roadshows were one good thing Eric did at Esurance.

When Allstate decided to offer the VTO, it calculated the positive impact it could have on the company’s business. Here's what experts say about the positive effects WTO can have on a company: VTO can: Attract employees who are exceptionally... — read more 

I know so many of you have never been laid off before. I know you are worried about layoffs and what they might mean for you and your family. So take it from somebody who has been through not one, not two, but three layoffs in his nearly four-decades... — read more 

Allstate has been only targeting hiring young people for the last several years. Problem is, they get experience and then leave. It costs a lot to bring in someone new to train. They were banking on getting cheaper employees in the Southern states... — read more

I wasted nearly five years of my life at this company. Five years under a horrible manager with no management skills, five years of unrealistic goals, and five years of poisonous team dynamics. When it started affecting my health, I realized it was... — read more 

I’m looking for another job, but I should prioritize job hunting a little more. I actively look for a while, and then I stop for a while and it goes like that. Other people's stories about experiences after they went to other companies have always... — read more 

I was upset getting the VTO a few weeks back because I felt it was unwarranted as I do very good work. All it did was push me to immediately look for a new position and I have already gotten an offer with much better pay. I will gladly be accepting... — read more
