Why is Allstate transform plan quiet on the Esurance front? This company was to be dissolved months ago as the biggest failure for Tom Wilson along with the failing life company.

May 6 is the first quarter earnings call... Fingers crossed for a continued downward trend in retention.... May it be dropping like a rock!!

Laid off and offered my job back, for less pay. Has anyone been in the same boat and taken it? I’m worried it’s just a temporary move to get them back afloat and I’ll be axed again. My trust in Allstate is broken. Weighing pros and cons of coming... — read more

Ref: for shares held in the Allstate 401(k) Savings Plan (vote by May 24 11:59PM ET) Just got my notice/ballot in yesterday's mail. Voted against the board recommendations. Normally I just toss and never vote.
