I am confused. What was supposed to go down today.
My guess is nobody noticed. Probably because the people who actually did this don't do anything anyway and the others claiming they'd do it weren't even employees.
You should have waited until Feb 7th, after the super bowl
They'll be more impact the Monday after the super bowl
This is childish. You will now have twice as much work tomorrow and hurting your peers who will not be participating. Agree there will never ever be a union, time to move on.
Today is also Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, National Irish Coffee Day and Opposite Day if you want to participate in these events. And all day long with no time restrictions!
This won't fix anything cause there will still be the loyal big blue employees or the hundreds/thousands who won't risk losing their job. The best way to do this is to all call in sick, I don't know why this wasn't the plan from the get go. Much easier and more effective. Good luck to all though, I'll be checking in on this site throughout the day.
I WOULD ADVISE EVERYONE TO USE A VPN WHEN COMING ON HERE JUST IN CASE
Let them know that you’re made as hell and you’re not going to take it anymore. Power to the people!
The world doesn't change because people stay quiet, the world changes because people take action. Good luck to all, and God speed.
Is this the time where you guys have a hardware issue on your laptop and then you load up your Virtual Assist app and make a VA call to overload the system?
However this may end, I wish you folks luck.
Scared huh? @D72x. You know why? Your gut is telling you something, listen.

@1hfq+192lD72x, I don't wish anyone ill, but I'm 💯 with you on your comments. I've been on here trying to warn these guys. Including pointing out some of these people are no longer employees egging them to do things to lose their jobs.
The layoffs were handled horribly and I know the work load can get crazy, yet more than adequate time was given, months in fact, severance, extended insurance. Things 95% you wouldn't get anywhere.
My advice, you hate your job? Make it your second job to prepare and look for other opportunities while you're still working. Otherwise you're collecting a pay check and they will fire you.
I am actually laughing out loud as I read these “14 office aware!” “Union now!” “it’s a sweatshop!”... grow up.
You work for a Fortune 500 company, the vast majority are at or above the national median income level, have a 401k, a pension, life insurance, health insurance and went from your temperature controlled office space to your homes during the pandemic. To say Allstate is a sweat shop shows your ignorance, not Allstate leadership’s.
Unions are an antiquated concept from a time before OSHA and minimum wage in a factory setting where there was a real danger of injury in the workplace. Sorry, there aren’t enough paper cuts in the world to get a labor organization behind you. You are never going to unionize an insurance company, period.
I’m not home office or HR, I’m just an adult who lives in the 21st century—many of you need to grow up and stop wallowing in self-pity. You want to know how hard this pandemic has hit people? Ask a restaurant owner who may actually lose everything. Shut the f— up and go to work.
Or don’t... and no one anywhere in the organization in any department at any level will feel remorse when you’re fired for insubordination. You just save someone else’s job who may have gotten laid off in the next round.
Is that Central time or Eastern?
Just want to ensure we are all shown the door at exactly the same time.
What is best way of doing this? Doing it at the exact time may be to obvious.
Keep your employees happy and treat them fairly and they’ll treat your customers good. This company is now a sweat shop .
Should have done this on MLK day least we might have gotten a holiday out of it 🙄
Those of us that are no longer with the company will be watching this with popcorn in hand!
All 14 Offices are aware! Let’s do this!!
During the 5 hours of protest, please send out the web address for the Union organizing. The protest is a cry for help. A cry to keep our jobs in the USA and get better working conditions, pay and benefits. We have been demoralized long enough. They don’t care about employees. All good jobs are at risk of going overseas in the next 2 years anyway. We need to organize ....that’s real transformative growth for all the beaten down employees at Allstate. These folks at the top of the food chain need a wake up call. The protest won’t do it. A Union campaign will. It’s the only way employees can make changes. All the years of engagement surveys and what did that do for us? Nothing. All it did was give Tom more “data”. He lives by data and he thinks the “data” shows we won’t organize. He bets everything on data and analytics. We need a Union uprising! There’s more support for it then they realize. Okay naysayers, come on and dispel this! Looking forward to a new and improved Allstate, thanks to getting a Union for better benefits, pay and treatment !
I feel for you folks but this is why you are on the low end of the Allstate food chain. You folks that buy into this are id–ts. No organization....just going off half c—ed because of a web site to gain the slightest bit of credibility. Look at how many have even bothered to view your posts on this topic. Less than 5% of the employee population.
This will have no impact other than starting a new round of the hunger games.
This should be a bloodbath.
Good luck chumps.
