https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/20/opinion/business-roundtable.html Thanks Tom and Allstate.

is it just me or is the assessment really a way for Allstate to make their own "S—ers List". After all if they did the same to their 'valued customers' whats to stop them from doing it to their own employees? They just want to see who is... — read more 

Sad!

Instead of the estimated 3700 to be laid off it is now rumored that as many as 6500 souls could be cut and an additional round of layoffs as an overall part of this RIF in January.

The ridiculous Allstate "metrics" claim overall that we are overstaffed at a .48 rate in claims. Meaning we have what their programs say is almost twice as many people needed to do the daily business of claims. So they are essentially saying that... — read more

I was on the 3pm call(job safe), but honestly I would rather have gotten laid off. I hate the job, the company, the work, everything about it at this point. I feel my blood pretty go up every single time I even think about this place. Being... — read more

It would be a real shame if someone who gets laid off ends up delivering a really bad claims experience to a lot of customers. I mean, those customers might leave the company! It would also be terrible if we let customers know what's going on in... — read more 

We used to pride ourselves on Mayhem’s slogan of “if you’ve got cut rate insurance....”. Now We’ve become cut rate insurance. How can we be the best on the planet if we are in a mad race to to align with our competition? My in-laws has a claim two... — read more 

I literally want to throw up after today. I’m one of the very few not impacted today. However, I am so completely disgusted and grossed out by this company that I’m going to take control and change my own path. Years of bulls**t lies, misogyny... — read more 

Lay-offs in the middle of a global recession and pandemic. YESTERDAY gloating about the billions we made this past quarter. W T F Could you be that clueless or deliberately do this??

No joke, more job postings/opening just went up in Pune India. This is 100% about getting cheaper labor. Not quality, customer satisfaction, doing what’s right, the claims compass, ethics, transparency etc etc etc..., Cut cost on labor which... — read more 

Tell everyone you know on every form of social media to drop Allstate. I can honestly say the competition surely treats their employees better than this greedy group of out of touch Sears rejects. No more kool-aide! These are not “exciting... — read more

Will all of the ATSC be getting outsourced to India? Its frustrating enough with hold times but the Irish by large are good at what they do

Please let me jnow

This area is full of redundancy. It could be outsourced to India like ATSC. I realize it must be a challenge to find new ways to limit and cut compensation of real workers every year. I feel really bad for anyone affected by this, my coworkers all of... — read more

Which departments were affected on this call? Claims/regional/sales/Esurance?

what happened in casualty and LDU? adjusters? processors?

When asked we were told due to COVID there are no plans to allow people into the building to get our belongings and we were pretty much scolded that we did take all our things with us when we had to bug out in the spring. They just said there was no... — read more 

I was in the 2pm call and told I needed to take an assessment. I’ve been bouncing around doing TDY’s and special projects and was advised that wouldn’t be a positive factor in my review. So after the assessment, we are still going against other... — read more 

Aside from a few exceptions we came through that pretty clean. I'm Blessed!

You are in good hands w Allstate my @ss! Let’s give you a fancy name as if you are on a pedestal and sugar coat an announcement comparable to putting lipstick on a pig. Allstate you are your own demise.

does anyone know what is included in the "enhanced severance" package? I really couldnt understand the PDF explaining the 3 different packages.

I totally missed today’s call! I am in property! Tell me everything

I’m hearing that they are not going to be affected and there is no assessment for them . is that true ??

Me-4pm Eastern, processor/Florida, role to remain

A lot of people in Subro have to take the assessment.

Let's organize to fight for better wages! Those staying are going to get double the workload!

If you see someone start or comment in a thread telling you to apply for other jobs now, that is a Home Office shill trying to prevent the company from paying as much severance as possible. Do not fall for it. If you get laid off, stay the 60s days... — read more 

The final call to inform our group we are safe. We have no job reduction or assessment. The call was less then a minute long.

From what I received from the meeting, if you have unexpected or less on your past pds -you're most likely out of here.

Lots of promos in India today......

Why would anyone having to take this assessment do anything but the bare minimum until the RIF has been completed? It'd be like blasting through the last mile of a marathon knowing that the finish line is the edge of a cliff. The employees suffer, as... — read more 

It looks like everyone on the first call has to take the assessment. It will count for 30% of the overall score. 65% comes from our last two PDS grades and 5% from tenure. 3pm call now in progress.
