Not sure how big or who exactly impacted but could be a few hundred gone?? Just a rumour but heard from 2 different people. Same pattern as last year.

The person they brought in for this wellbeing presentation, is one of the most chilling presenter I have encountered and not in a good way. There was no emotion, blank stare, no genuine feeling about anything. Everything seemed practiced and... — read more

I was informed off record by a manager within Allstate that "big changes" were right around the corner in Underwriting. Basically a large amount of layoffs will be occurring in Underwriting. Anyone else caught wind of this and if so are there any... — read more 

When did Allstate start using a company called Pilot by Robert E Uhler License 4028069 to handle personal auto policy liability claims? I didn’t know we contracted out our LdU claims.

I’ve heard he is a talented claims executive who makes sure workers are taken care of.

Is it normal to be terminated with just supervisor and manager/boss on the call? No HR.?

ANI here and just noticed roughly three months' pension contributions paid in at once. I've been here for years so my notice period would be three months. No meeting with HR yet, but I won't be surprised if it pops up in the next few days. Not... — read more 

I'm wondering if Allstate offers anything more than severance when laying people off. Job counseling, retraining, anything? Or is that too much to expect?

What happened in Claims a few weeks ago? Heard there may have been some senior officers departing? Performance, or is this an exercise in flattening the leadership structure and cutting costs?

In this week's blog post we dive into the Around The Table's look at Optimism with Brendan Mooney, the CEO of Kainos https://underthetable2026.blogspot.com/2026/07/episode-5-optimism.html

I’m starting to wonder if a regular workweek exists here anymore. Why is everyone doing extra time and acting like that’s just part of the job now?

Is it worth trying to negotiate a better leaving package at ANI?

Another round of Allstate Asks where Zulfi tells us that they want to know what we think, but then they complain (and target you) if we don't give them the answers that they want.

What does the agency footprint look like? Fewer agents? Far less support staff? AI self serve?
