I have been shocked this last year at the incompetence and greed of the top executives at allstate. They don't even try to hide it that their only loyalty is to shareholders and don't care about customers or employees. It seems they enjoy layoffs and... — read more 

Well I finally had enough and resigned after a decade settling property claims. I am so disappointed with how Allstate has decided to treat its loyal employees. The paradigm shift that occurred in December was put into place with a total lack of... — read more 

Thinking about accepting a new role with Allstate, does anyone know if I will have to pay my severance back if so how much?

10am to 3pm.....

Let me preface this by saying I'm no fan of Allstate and this is not one of those "if you hate it here so much just quit" rage-posts. I understand that people are unhappy and why they're unhappy. I'm actually planning my exit and I hope to be out... — read more 

Hopefully they offer severance with the next round. They do about 80% of the time but there have been a few instances of large layoffs, I know of two specifically where they didn’t, where no severance was offered. With my luck this would be one of... — read more 

The best thing that could happen to Allstate is a buy out from a large corporation with a vision on Allstate’s brand and history with a gutting of the executive staff from top to bottom... The best thing for the Allstate worker and customer.. — read more 

The demise of Sears is casting a long shadow on Allstate. At one time the most successful retailer in the world decided to take their eye off the ball of their core retail business intent on becoming the end all financial center for all Americans... — read more 

I am a territory manager with National General. These comments about layoffs are concerning but seem to be mostly affecting claims and customer service. Has there been any word on the marketing department, specifically the field reps? Will they be... — read more 

Working for National General has been wonderful! The company really cares about the employees. It's an environment that fosters growth. I'm worried about what is coming based on these comments. A company that cares about you makes you want to... — read more 

But less stress for $15 and a hefty discount. It’s almost insulting that insurance and retail would make the same, but that’s where we are now.

Yup, 100% serious, I was but a lowly claims rep 10 years ago and they still would have meetings with us going over the insurance market and their plans. They did it. Allstate isn’t going to overtake them, we WILL keep falling further and further. ... — read more 

After a lot of anxiety about what and how I will do if I get laid off, now I really don’t care. And not only that. I think that would be the best possible scenario for me in regards to finding a new job: layoff, severance and then finally some other... — read more 

I have been decades long Allstate agent. With COVID our agency and it's staff have been working remote since May of 2020. That is where my remote focus as agency owner has been on the sales side and we have done quite well. Since that time my well... — read more 

Just received notice that 28 offices are closing in 2021 as part of the transformation growth plan. All workers are being moved to home based workers.

Looks like the days when Allstate used to encourage employees and provide incentives to do better are long gone. We are now stuck with managers who only know how to manage through fear and intimidation. And while this might work short term, employees... — read more 

If you drive for Uber in a big city, you could probably make close to what you were making at Allstate. Especially if you were also willing to do part time at a grocery store/Target, or something similar to that.

Already confirmed, there will be another round of layoffs 2nd or 3rd quarter this year to get rid of redundant positions.

For anyone looking to leave.

At the end of the day, GS is more of a nice guy than people give him credit for. You know what they say, nice guys finish last. He is the type of person who if you went to his church, or he know you personally, he would help you out if you were... — read more 

Gone are the days of taking 3 or 4 chats at a time! As of now it stops. Period! The incompetent nitwits at the top did not fight for keeping people that were laid off when the calls holding showed these people were needed. They just let the idiocy... — read more

In about 2 weeks we'll be seeing a lot more crying on here by the people who chose not to work but get paid anyway on the 25th. Talked into getting fired by people bitter, rightly so, about getting laid off and people who say they'll "strike" but not... — read more 

Does anyone have more detailed information on how many customers Allstate has lost lately? It seems to me that we are losing them rapidly. A large number would not be at all surprising given the unenviable position employees are in. Dissatisfied and... — read more

TW's slurfest this morning shows that the next part of Transformative Growth is now well underway. It started with 2020's mass layoffs in which thousands (many more than the BS 3800 number reported) were let go with severance and extended benefits... — read more 

Anyone else surprised TW and GS don’t have fancier home offices, considering they make millions a year!?

I missed the call because I was working. Could anyone summarize the call?

Well looks like more layoffs this year.

Just the same regurgitated ideas.... and brainwashing us as if we matter and that we are special.

Keep getting worst....getting a severance means you are disqualified for unemployment in TX. Can’t apply for unemployment until April 2021 when I got laid off in Nov 2020. Anyone else going through this? I didn’t know that was the guidelines in TX. — read more

It is all part of Allstate's "Tranformative Growth". Mass layoffs with severance, throw all the work on those left behind. Demoralize and create a no win condition for meeting performance and gradually term employees "for cause" for not meeting... — read more 

Does anyone know how or when we will get our W2's?

Cut management some slack. As much as we'd like to blame them; they are EMPLOYEES too! They are following orders from the top and are just as nervous about losing their jobs too! Speaking from personal experience.

I am about to be termed for performance. How will I go about getting Allstate their laptop back?
