@p0 in what dept
@p0 Another re-org just hit too!
The life & retirement portion will be laying off a significant portion in September. Thankfully it's not a surprise and those impacted know it's coming.
From what I’ve heard, NGIC accounts for more than half of the new business for the organization now. Was surprised to say the least.
I know Allstate hates EAs but don’t they have to pay the IAs even more to write the business?
@qy And NGIC is a dumpster fire.
I would assume cuts will be coming. The whole NGIC portion of the company is merging into the Allstate World. Much duplication and adjusters get very little claims within the organization. Expect massive cuts.
Has anyone heard of Service roles being affected by layoffs in the next round?
I was told by my leader to start looking for a new job or applying internally after the latest reorg that hit.
To be fair, I have stopped actively working this year as I assumed I was getting laid off sooner than later
There will be more layoffs but those impacted pretty much know its coming is what im told. However in 2026....
What to expect: Somewhere about August or or so, when the stench of the failure of the latest 'transformation' reaches the board room and there's nothing to show for all the money they've pi---d away on OBD; and it can't be filtered by middle management or spun anymore, they'll have a 'manager's meeting' in Chicago. Usually happens in August or September, somewhere in there.
The middle managers will all move to protect their fiefdoms, appealing to their sugar daddies and mommas to cover them. Spin will be offered. Excuses will be too. The usual suspects who prevent the company from ever actually changing will duck and cover.
If I had to lay odds, I'd bet that it'll be the DPMs who take the fall for it this year. They were set up to failure, with a team and work structure that didn't allow them to deliver anything and the ones who dared to push were frozen out of discovery sessions and handed pre determined dates for new things. On top of that, they got project and program management (No more PMO), team performance and coaching (no more Scrum Masters), and every other 'reimagined' function we've sh-t canned in previous rounds of layoffs. Not to mention the asinine layers of red tape put over them to try and do anything.
And the announcement will come at some point in September or October (ish) that that time has once again come to 'flatten the organization' so it's 'poised for growth.' It'll be a 'difficult time for everyone' but be assured that Allstate is a leader in the digital and customer service space and will continue to dominate the market (in fourth place).
The magic question is whether or not Zulfi and Kamal will get shown the door or promoted. Stay tuned!
Not many impacts onshore but offshore will continue to be gutted. ANI and Allstate India will continue to see reductions.
Are you new here OP?
The whole economy is slowing down, look at Illinois here

Now, every company or industry is different but overall it's frothy.
