Just heard ANI started getting calls offering redundancy this morning.
10-12K layoffs is huge? Is this across the U.S,. and India? All departments? Actual reduction in force or move to vendor?
Layoffs are happening now through end of month with details emerging 1 November during quarterly earnings call.
Estimated 10-15k to be released.
US IS LAYING OFF, our technology management told us we will and one was already.. seriously no one is safe
Only heard about India so far. Nothing about ANI or the states for technology
Technology is laying off everywhere. It already started due to REORG.. they let go of underperforming employees already
it's not happening
Glad I left this mess of a company 6 months ago. They don’t care about you. Just get out while you can. I did and haven’t regretted it for one second.
You reputation defender HR (most worthless—sorry for rotten career choice: producers and cost contain support: you’re welcome) posts waste bandwith. But get it: don’t want shareholders to see time been buying with your “Transformative Growth” keyword that has been horrible.
Keep laying off sacrificial lamb each failing quarter, but shareholders are waking up.
PLEASE expedite this farce. or keep giving money to “Transformative Growth.”
IT is laying off. Started Tuesday in India.
Liars probably underperformed workers disgruntled that you get harassed by managers for poor performance
The Matrix is real in this world and a dysfunctional version operates within AS.
Entry level job.
Toil away and brown-nose to get promoted.
Pay level increase also increases the target on your back for layoff or attempts to make you want to leave.
Replace you with next in line and add new entry level warm body.
Your success at AS is also ultimately what succumbs your career.
You guys are liars they expanding
To the blowhard complaining about people making stuff up—have you been around long? Were you there in 2020? This isn’t a company that has its employees interests at heart. They made it painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain. If claims overreacts to a rumor every now and then, that doesn’t speak to the employee being a “blowhard”, it’s speaks to the toxicity and poor culture created and fostered by Allstate Insurance executives and board. Period.
Once again, the claim babies are trying to spread bs. You can go back through this site and see at least 20 similar posts over the past year that are completely false. Go back under your rock blowhard.
Nothing is ever confirmed until it happens. This is the slimiest seediest insurance company of all of them combined. If we have learned anything from the 2020 fiasco, we have learned not to ever trust them again. They are not committed to the good of their employees, you cannot trust anything they say, and they don’t care about you. That is the simple truth. It’s just a job, not a career. Get over the idea that they want to see you excel and make more money here. They would replace every last one of us with the cheapest labor out there if they could. That is their long term goal. And to stay out of employee vs company litigation.
A good rule of thumb is if your area and role is non-exempt that it will be moved to vendors or India within the next year. That is the message we keep getting from above. We do not have this list of position by position impacts that folks seem to think is floating around. This company sees pretty much all non-exempt roles as being something that offshore or lower cost vendors can do.
Anyone know what the other areas are?
I'm sure Claims processors is a role that is looking to be vendored. Like processors in many other areas have already been or are in the process of being vendored.
What about Claims processors?
Pretty much all of express and non-exempt Claims positions will be vendored off resulting in eliminations there. Some this year and some next year in phases.
Some auto adj will also be vendored but most adj roles will remain with some hiring. However I would expect adjusters to be even more dug in with work as the company is wanting more for their wage dollar so the adjusters while most will be retained will feel it more. How cuts impact adjusters themselves will be dependent on the area of the country too. There are some areas where the company feels the adjuster numbers can be cut down particularly in the Northeast and North Central areas of the country. That is the strategy we were presented anyways. Of course a lot subject to change.
Moral of the story: Non-exempt Claims will be highly impacted while exempt and adjusters less impacted.
Claims is doing targeted hiring for field adjusters to eliminate vendor overuse which has been ki-ling loss costs in cat and auto. So, less vendor work on MCO claims. The reductions are going to come from outsourcing Express to vendors which is full steam ahead. So yes, claims is hiring and reducing. As far as timeline, I think we're writing the plan as we are executing it. Not sure there is a real vision as to how we pull off TG just a vision that we are able to pull off TG.
Claims is hiring not laying off
