Looks like the CHRO/EVP of HR went on to better things. He has left Allstate and is going to a much bigger company. Check his LinkedIn…….

What are your predictions ???

Huge flops with artificial intelligence and new programs in HR complete failure. Can’t help but wonder if his errors enabled the breach of security and employee information being hacked last year.

Has anyone heard anything ?

Will layoffs be in October for sure? Or rumors are based on the usual way things are done? Are the last ones employed more likely to be first to go, or there are other criteria for layoffs? I’m just worried I’ll be out before I warm up my chair. — read more
