Thread regarding Allstate Corp. layoffs

Whats going on really

Ive lurked years here, admit in interest full disclosure. Also rep defenders im on a VPN so dont waste “person-hours”.

As someone pointed out c-suite will look to purchase blocks of business to illustrate PIF and really mislead (id say cook—but its all legal) shareholders and the books.

If i were to intiate a startup (way too old) id propose a Due Dilligence company that takes a large stat sample of FRONT LINE EMPLOYEES re an investment.

Theres a lot of mocking about how “workers” are id--ts: guess what: WE drive results and id like to think lot of us accept our lot; still work our best, and truly want to be fidiciary for enployer as well as provide best service to our customers.

Pile on im sure syntax error or my logic is whac k whatever.

I will say to fellow true work colleagues (not the HR shills, not random trolls, not reputation mgr firm posters hired after 2020 debacle): I relate and think can sort thru BS posted here to see genuine concerns from hard working people who do care.

Allstate is in spinning drain and worst part is shareholders are oblivious. I AM grateful for my employment and that is a contractual relationship, and continue to work 7 days week to provide best service. TG seems be a fancy moniker w NO growth plan and thats even after a radical slash of physical plant overhead.

Again: I am grateful for my employment but i see NO clear plan and our quarterlies are bunch of ambiguous nonsense.

Ok: Pile on

Fully agreed. It was posted on another thread that the 'plan' seems to be whatever boxes managers can get checked to make sure they aren't in the next round of layoffs. They aren't listening to the people closest to the work.

We've spent this entire year on this latest reorganization and I still don't see any clear idea of what people are supposed to be doing. It feels like management is fiddling while Rome burns and when they start feeling the heat, the answer will be to get rid of a bunch more people. That has traditionally been the answer.

I've always realized that I work for a multinational company with no soul at all. And that their 'loyalty' to me as an employee is about about a millimeter deep on the best day. I see a lot of potential here but it's hard to invest emotion time and again, then watch people be handed their walking papers and the overall approach and mindset about delivery remain unchanged. Or given a shiny new name (like Transformative Growth, ASC, and now outcome based delivery) with the same old mindset.

I like to think of my job at Allstate is to make Mr. Wilson happy. I see myself giving him claims closings like a wife brings her husband his paper, pipe and slippers after a long day. He’s counting on us so what do we want? Closings!!! When do we want them? Now!!! I love my job and I love seeing Mr. Wilson happy with me. I hold him in the same regard as the greatest president who ever lived, Donald Trump. Both excellent businessmen!!

I use to care. Really really care. But out of my 16 years at Allstate the last three have totally ruined my ability to care at all about the company, my colleagues, and sadly the customers. I see no betterment or even the saving of this company. I have too much respect for myself to not give 100% when on the clock. But still, I don't care anymore. I am just here for a paycheck and soon probably a severance.
