Positions of need offered in place of severance
This morning we were told that around 2000 positions of need opportunities in phone service in different departments are to be offered at reduced pay to those RIF instead of severance settlements. Accept or quit on your own meaning no unemployment.
Allstate Claim Directors and higher see zero impacts
Director level bands up are NOT impacted in the claim RIF. All are protected. Remember that when you hear impact communication.
APLT Business Office
Does anyone know how the APLT Business Office will be affected with the layoffs? The jobs in that area are frivolous and are not-essential.
Never had to sign anything regarding suing?
I see a lot of people talking about having to sign something saying they wouldn't sue Allstate as a condition of employment. When was this given out and in what way? I don't remember seeing this at all.
Can anyone tell me where the 4 zone offices are/will be

Layoffs and Lab Rats
Does anyone else find it disturbing that with everything the company is doing to employees with this poorly managed reduction, that now they’re also looking for lab rats to volunteer in 3 locations to test a return to work during COVID? How should... — read more

How would you spend your 60 day notice?
Aside from taking earned PTO what would your normal "work day" look like if you your given your 60 day notice?
Hearing no guarantee of severance?
Hearing that severance is not a guarantee as Allstate may be using the "60 day notice" in place of standard severance. Severance likely only offered for higher pay bands and tenure levels if at all. Not good if what is going around about this pans... — read more
Any word on Auto technical?
There are thousands of abandoned calls in VA Each week and we’re still in COVID status. About 100 employees moved to from auto to property in the last 2 months. Unless the west coast is slower then we are in the east I don’t see how down sizing makes... — read more
If you want to be laid off should you give your manager hints, or just shut up?
First off, apologies to those who are anxious and want to keep your jobs. This is not meant to be insensitive, but is for those who do want to leave with a severance. So, as the title suggests, do you skirt around the issue with your manager and... — read more
Allstate Employee Slow Death
Allstate employees started being affected negatively when Jerry Choate retired in the 90s. He was a homegrown product of the company and really valued its employees. He was replaced by Ed Liddy in 1999 and that’s when the suffering began as he was... — read more
No News, Good News
Any other time this would be true. Not if you're an Allstate employee.
Horrendous leadership
If this senior leadership team is the “best of the best” that Allstate has to offer, Allstate is in serious trouble. This has been the perfect example of what NOT to do during a time of anxiety and stress to your customer facing employee base. Poorly... — read more
60 Day Notice
What departments have received their day notice so far? Please confirm the region in which you are located.
Allstate Management
It seems like the Cleveland Browns front office is running this company. It has been an ongoing debacle for a few years and the last month encapsulates it. Prove me wrong.
Hints
I knew something was wrong when *Tom recently wore a pink sweater. He was hinting “pink slips” coming. He’s old fashioned like that. *He/Glenn also stopped letting us have cake on our office monthly birthday celebrations. *Last year when he... — read more
So if assessments are off can we get on with it?!
No need to go through that charade any longer, so can we save that 4-6 weeks and let people get on with their lives?
$4 billion National General acquisition
Today, Allstate acquired National General Holdings Co for the price of $4 billion in cash. This wasn't money borrowed against the stock holdings, but capital the company had in reserve. This is slightly less than the entire company net earnings last... — read more
Help answer me this? “Transparency moment”
What jobs are eliminated, or has the take the assessment? I’m not looking for opinions, I’m looking for facts. Only thing I know is my job is still under review.
Unrepped
Do you think urepped major would be affected the same as moderate or LDU? There usually much lower in head count than the other teams.
Pathetic
If you had any faith in leadership before this played out, it should be gone now.. Scheduling meetings just to cancel them.. Can’t decide how they want this to play out... Now there is talk that the assessments may be on a legal hold. Who is... — read more

Why are people quitting?
Two coworkers quit this week. Not laid off, walked out on their own. Why would anybody do that? If you want to leave, chances are you won't have to wait for too long before being laid off - and then you leave with at least some money in your pocket!... — read more
Expect large number of assessment announcements Friday (today)
Claims, Home Office, Marketing, Tech on the docket.....
FSL
Do we really need these worthless managers? They gutted agents via ABO now it’s about time they clean house.
Stock vs. policies
If you have not already done so, dump your Allstate policies... Keep your Allstate stock...It will be fun to give a NO Proxy vote when Wilson and the members of the board come up for election.....
Webcams
Did any other offices get a notice that Allstate would be issuing webcams to their employees while working from home? Seems pointless if they're making cuts.
Layoff Decisions
Who do you thinks is making the call to cut certain employees? CSL's or RCL's?
Slash and burn
By acquiring competitors Allstate is actually hurting more workers. They would love a monopoly and streamline all insurance into one massive company with Glen and Tom mindset. With encompass, Esurance, whatever is going on now ETC...how many once... — read more

Drip, drip Every day brings a new shoe to drop In this continuing saga.... What will we wake up to tomorrow??
High Anxiety -
Will be happy to get the news about LDU and UNREPD in Florida. We need a break from the uncertainty. With COVID 19, civil unrest and the election campaign, this is almost too much to bare.
