Agents going to be force into new compensation contract higher first year half renewals.
Most of the larger ones selling agency. Going to a ripple effect.
I can confirm the virtual water blurb is true. I am doing the job right now, and my region rolled out earlier in 2019. 5 regions rolled so far. Northeast and North Central back in 12/2018. Southeast, Texas, and Midwest rolled around April of 2019. There are 9 other regions/MCO's (Florida, Southern, Southwest, Northwest, New York, Cali, West Central, New Jersey, and Capital) that WILL rollout in 2020 if they can fix the issues that developed during the other rollouts. The entire country was supposed to roll out in 2019, but, and there is a big surprise here, the powers-that-be didn't think anything could go wrong with their systems or vendor participation. This didn't cause any job losses, but there will be job changes that you will be volunteered into. So get ready you other 9 regions, cause it is coming.
"Does anyone actually have concrete confirmation of all this?"
I would be willing to bet most of what we see on this site lacks a concrete foundation, especially threads like this one which are geared more toward speculation. It seems most posters come here intending to vent their frustrations with the odd concrete fact peppered here or there.

Processing has plan to outsource to India I work in HO and crazy what non skilled people are paid who hired in with high school degree to do copy work. Lots complaints from staff on how processors act entitled and do little as possible and untrained so we will offload by year end. Hubs yes will be slow but huge closures as part of Total Transformation strategic plan of Glenn. All three Allstate brands merged into one company.
pnh........no jobs or offices will be going to New Mexico. Never. Just like California. That’s the problem with sites like this. People just make c-ap up.
The remaining regions/MCOs across the country will roll out Property Virtual Water, similar to Virtual Wind/Hail. So far 5 regions have rolled out in 2019, expect the other 9 to start sometime in 2020. This will cause a lot of upset folks, and job changes. If you are a Large Loss or Moderate OA, be prepared to move to VA (not all, some). Our MCO chose based on seniority. Possible some internal moves to VA as well, depends on each region's staffing. This change to virtual water did not result in any job losses in our MCO; however, this will depend on each MCO's staffing. There will likely be folks who are upset by the job change, that they quit. Viva La Virtual.
Some jobs will be eliminated through AI and machine learning while many others will be outsourced to India. Remaining jobs will be consolidated in the various hubs the company's established in states like AZ, NM, TX, and NC. Expect many offices to close down. Be ready to move if you want to keep
working for the company.
“Crowdsourcing”, office closings, layoffs, fewer jobs, more lost benefits
