TW's slurfest this morning shows that the next part of Transformative Growth is now well underway.
It started with 2020's mass layoffs in which thousands (many more than the BS 3800 number reported) were let go with severance and extended benefits were paid out. Assessments had no influence on those selected as higher paid and long tenured employees were already targeted and the assessments were a legal smokescreen to avoid age and other discrimination litigation.
Now is the "overwork and demoralize" portion of Transformative Growth. This will impact areas in which a gradual transition to overseas and India is planned such as claims and tech. This portion purposely sets employees up to fail. These areas are given all the extra work from the prior layoffs and required performance metrics and goals applied accordingly. It is known that most employees will never be able to meet these new metrics even to keep their job. Therefor they can gradually eliminate these employees based on performance over time without having to pony up severance and letting them battle their state specific unemployment for such a release (some states consider performance releases behavioral issues and consider this term for cause meaning the same as a behavioral term and denial of unemployment, other states will pay unemployment for performance dismissals).
Unlike 2020's layoffs these performance dismissals can be done over a wider time within even the same teams and departments and in line with how the work is gradually being transitioned to India. As India goes live with the work U.S. employees will be slowly lopped off under the guise of unacceptable performance and no severance.
As roles transition overseas further in the coming months then another RIF will take place with the remaining hard working people in the departments let go much like 2020 and severance paid out to those people. In short the company will let the weakest employees go without severance destinying them to Wal-Mart and McDonald careers while later providing severance relief to higher quality employees who will continue their careers eventually in a professional role elsewhere or back into the Allstate fold (This will be very few of you).
Areas most likely impacted are claims, tech, customer service, underwriting, and billing/accounting, and unlicensed customer service.
Phase 3 of Transformative Growth set for starting in 2022 is the start of the eventual elimination of the exclusive agency channel which will impact agency facing sales and service roles in the new zones and all agency support areas as a whole.
This is known information that you will not hear until implemented.
