A big round of layoffs last week! A lot of good people who were loyal career employees were axed with zero empathy from leadership. With the abysmal combined ratio this company is running, you can expect more devastation to come! IMO this company is... — read more 

A bunch of AVP, VP, and SVP were fired over the last two days. It seemed like the layoffs spanned across all of the corporate functions. I would estimate the numbers in the dozens of people which is a lot for the executive ranks.

More VPs, AVPs, Dir, Mgrs. than employees. The focus is only on making the stockholders happy. Forced return to the office, poor benefits, and cuts to PTO are driving new and longtime employees away. No need for layoffs when 20 to 40 old and new... — read more

Post comments in this thread. Good luck all.

I'm so sorry to all who were impacted by this. The manner in which it was done is appalling. I can tell you that Flo is hiring, and that kind of garbage doesn't happen here. Best of luck to you all.

I got a pre recorded video instead of a phone call Please tell me somebody is trolling and this is not how layoffs are done. I can't imagine a more insulting way to get rid of loyal, long-term employees than to not even bother to talk to them. A... — read more 

Seems like it doesn’t end. How many this time around?

I can't stop thinking about what's going to happen tomorrow.

They called everyone into a teams meeting and played a pre recorded message saying if you are on the meeting your position was terminated. We get paid until the end of the month. I was there for 3 years and only get tell weeks Severance pay. Was... — read more 

I am not sure who all was let go, but it was over multiple departments. No one was given any notice. I am just in disbelief after all these years. Good luck to everyone

4 years of service and through all their manager juggling to get a recorded teams meeting. Don't have details of severance or PTO payout since awaiting email from HR.

I hope I'm wrong but it seems to be coming. Weird meeting invite with hidden list of who else will be there

They sent an email with a recording letting us know there was a “reduction in force” aka lay off! I’ve been with the company 4+ years - no write ups or warning. My metrics and numbers all at meets and somehow I was let go. They did the mass layoff in... — read more 

My best to those that got layed off. Hoping to get out soon myself. What happened today with layoffs? Any idea on their rational, how it went down? How many effected?

Kemper layed me off today, no warning at all just a 10 minute live stream video. They even hired extra security to escort employees out. Thanks Kemper for firing 2 pregnant women at your Cerritos office.

Last minute meeting separating the groups. One was informed of the layoff, and one was let go. Not much information given.

Hearing rumors round 2 of layoffs coming today.

This company did nothing to help employees exit in a dignified and appropriate way. Exactly the opposite. Kemper's reputation was already bad and what will it be after these cuts? I personally think that the public perception of the company will be... — read more 

Cutting some of the most talented and loyal remaining people, apart from being demoralizing for those of us who have survived for now, is a great loss for this company. Will it ever be able to attract such talents again? I doubt it.

It's terrible to hear that you all were laid off like that! Let's get together and come up with a plan. AAA has tons of career opportunities available auto adjusters, field adjusters, SIU, plus many more. I encourage you to take a look at our career... — read more 

I feel terrible for the people let go. Agree some was likely performance based and probably needed to be let go, but some good people in the mix that didn’t deserve it. Sorry this happened the way it did.

In May, there was a town hall meeting where DS came with a bunch of higher ups and they all left in a limo! They made people come into the office on a Friday just because DS has a vacation home in FL and was going to be staying there for that weekend... — read more 

I'm disgusted considering that they laid off a star employee, a person from whom everyone could learn a lot and with whom it was a pleasure to work. I'll be honest and say that I deserved that layoff more than he did, because I stopped making... — read more 

I don't mean to be callous but considering the mess Unitrin has turned into, all who were laid off should consider themselves lucky. You get a chance to start over in a better company with better leadership that knows how to treat valuable employees... — read more 

Yes, was a horrible thing for those impacted. However, this was 3% of the company employees affected. Kemper has purchased multiple companies and retained all of the employees. This needed to happen much earlier. Not saying the methodology was right... — read more 

Sorry to hear that you guys got laid off like that. It’s horrible. National General has 100s of open positions doe to the recent merger. Over 250 open FNOl, auto claims reps, auto field appraisers. Ect.

First of all, I feel sorry for everyone who is affected, I hope that everyone will get better jobs soon. I'm now wondering how this will all work further because my team has lost great people who did the most work. It will be a shortstaffed... — read more

Kemper’s core value specifically encourages employees to Act Like An Owner. Speaking up and asking for assistance to help find a solution for problems is not what they meant by Act Like an Owner, apparently.
