Modern companies function much like cults
To do well you must fit in. To fit in you must give up more of your identity, soul, self-respect, and respect for others. Too often this means sacrificing one’s integrity. Why are American companies forsaking American people? This is not what... — read more
How will you stay focus today knowing you could be laid off tomorrow?
How will you keep your customer service experience promise to the customer as well? Why didn’t they just tell us yesterday? Or told everyone Wednesday without announcing it?

Cowards
You laugh behind a video after announcing the layoffs. You tell us to talk to our direct manager, who knows nothing. You lay us off by video conference after saying the direct manager is going to do it personally. This company is lead by cowards. ... — read more

All Claims
Anyone know what the big all claims meeting today is about? Notice was just sent.

Fingers crossed this is the week when it happens. Not because I want to be laid off but because I want to move on, one way or another. I just had another c-appy weekend because I couldn't get my mind off work and I'm getting really tired of it. So... — read more
Retirement check up.
Did everyone get retirement “check-up” papers in the mail? I don’t ever remember getting these before. Is it something they do every year? Or is it a sign!? Lol!
Keep applying for jobs if you got canned from Allstate
I got a nasty call on Friday stating due to my assessment Allstate decided not to keep me. Two hours later, I got an acceptance letter from a company I've been interviewing with for weeks. I applied to 100 plus jobs and went on so many interviews... — read more
Pat presidents

Director and above
Isn’t it amazing that everyone titled director or above In claims found a safe place to land?? Their jobs were all safe unless they chose to retire... I guess it pays to be someone who is not a “grunt.”
People are leaving (and nobody cares)
The economy has never been worse and yet so many people are opting to leave Allstate right now. That should tell you all you need to know about the state of the company. Of course, the people leaving are some of our best but does the management care?... — read more
I have a solution...
In 2017, Tom Wilson’s salary alone was listed as 17.1 million dollars. So, give me his job and a salary of $500,000. Right there, I just saved Allstate 16.6 million dollars. I’ll use that money to retain as much staff as that allows. As a bonus, I’ll... — read more
