I’m guessing Tommy still has his cushy office on Lake Street overlooking the river though. He’s just glad he doesn’t have to pay his chauffeur to drive him to Northbrook anymore.

Tommy Toupee loves remote work. If Johnny can do the job from his home in Bumf*ck Nebraska then it can be done for 1/5th of the salary in some little one room apartment in Pune or Manila.

Allstate might be a follower, but if this is true, theyll be a leader on remote work, and might do well attracting a lot of workers from competition who are moving in the opposite direction....myself included...

Allstate is a follower, not a leader. If other companies return to the office, so will Allstate. They can’t think of anything inventive or interesting to bring this ship upright. We will be going back to the office soon as a last ditch effort to try to get to profitability. As usual, too late Allstate. You better just continue to outsource and lay off every employee over 50. The time has come to really clean house and start over if you want to grow this withering vine.

@lhw+1pg2q3G7- your comments are very shortsighted. The execs gutted the talent in the company and the training of new hires is horrid. Even with the many multi million dollar savings on cutting overhead and property expenses, i.E. commercial leases, the company is still faltering. It's not the work from home element that is the cause of this disfunction and failure, it's the decision making at the exec level. If anyone needs oversight it's to incompetents running the show. Back to the office aint going to fix this sinking hull. In fact, just the opposite would happen. Sorry bud.. sad but true.

........and Corn Pop was a bad Dude!

If I am CEO, all staff is back in office by end of q 1 24. Way too much idle time with key business results sub par for an extended time. Staff is not performing and need daily oversight. Sad, but true.

Would be a more compelling argument coming from the CEO of a profitable company, though.

I'm all for remote work, but maybe Tom should shut his pie hole instead of sharing his opinions on how to run a company (unless it's "into the ground")
