Thread regarding Allstate Corp. layoffs

Emails are flowing

Several emails from AVP level down are flowing - with some dates and confirmed locations(Irving, Charlotte & Phoenix "area". Nothing shocking or unexpected. Of the 3 I read, they all basically use the same language - in at least one paragraph, they use the same exact langue, indicating coming from higher up in CTS/IS/ATSV with HR

Enjoy your day

So, you get to decide which jobs are “fluff”, or valueless ? You are an inbred (one role, one office, no external perspective whatsoever) peon, that is so short sighted and narrow minded, you barely warrant a response. You’re an embarrassment to this company. Leave. Now.

I have no contempt for my colleagues you id--t I see how hard they are working my contempt is for leadership who clearly are out of touch which company. Why the surveys to measure our morale all the time. Don't speak for who I view as valuable you're not me and as for you not being an HO employee or in mgt sure if you so say it's anonymous board. I do do my job: insurance to remind you--why Allstate has lost market share is no surprise to me.

Viewing jobs on intranet? Do you see the corporate homepage or do you ignore it every week it features "what does a _ do?" And it's usually yes some assinine job that has nothing to do with insurance.

This company needs an enema and not from producers or cost containment but all rest of fluff we support -- clearly this poster is in one of those jobs. Be GLAD I do my job I pay for yours.

I’ve never encountered anyone with such contempt and hatred for fellow employees that have different roles than this poster. If you don’t do what this bitter guy does (meaning, you are in some support role),he views you as worthless. Maybe he should spend less time on the intranet viewing these jos, and more time doing his job.

If you haven’t already been laid off, DO YOUR JOB.

p.s., for the tenth time, I’m not a Home Office employee, or a leader.

I lurk but is this the CEO of CFO of our company. Yes, we all get business decisions are made economies of scale etc but ahole we have families that come first, and our loyalty is rewarded with a "business decision." Which makes logical sense but if you self righteous a-- were on other end you grasp idea of 1) being a loyal hard worker for your company for many years and 2) wanting to know as much as possible thru employee grapevine because corporate one doesn't not allow for advance notice understandably. Because we are not all rich a--holes like you sound like you are. Or work in home office and completely out of touch with field (i.e. Producers and claims) who PAY for all your bs garbage environment, Lgbtdq whatever, community, and other fluff garbage jobs I read about each week on intranet "what's an aquifer analyst do?" roflmao. We all know you don't put money in health care which is while other issue : pure greed no other issue hsa self-insurance is bs excuse for company greed.

All this panic why Allstate has lost market share? Selling insurance is 10th thing on your list of priorities.

Do you home office employees have glass stomachs? So you can see where you are going?

Why come here to make company strategy announcements sound like rumor and surreptitious corporate end runs ? It’s a strategy. Get over it.

Don’t worry some manager whose job is to be “transparent” trolls this board because they can’t get info from own chain command and will say you are all whack.

Btw reporter for Chicago media reach out to me we will talk. Allstate is a public company.

"Is it possible to work out a severance package if your role isn’t one selected to move?"

Not sure I fully understand, if they aren't moving your job then why would severance come into play. If they are eliminating your job then that means your are basically being laid off - at some point - if you can't find another job internally. Which would suggest you'd get severance.

Not happening. Why would they pay you to leave, only to have to replace you, including the cost of recruitment and training ?

This is more on IS/IT side of the house for "claims" and other groups.
