The future CEO of Allstate..the architect of so many experienced and loyal employees losing their jobs and benefits………is going to be out of a job…… Thank you karma…..
Shapiro
I did not have Shapiro leaving at this point on my bingo card. This is NO voluntary retirement. He was likely told “quit or retire.” Transformative growth has been a failure. The offshore move has not occurred as planned forcing Allstate to pay... — read more
Shapiro given the easy way out
With this news of Shapiro out will the others left up there be able to save what is left of this company? Will they right the wrongs or keep this company spiraling to its end?
Can we now play "Celebrate Good Times"?
Bye Glenn!! Good Riddance! You piece of company ki----g trash!!
No need for layoffs
I see some debates here between those who think that layoffs are around the corner and those who think it's just fake rumors..... Why the need for layoffs when they can overload employees to such an extent that they leave on their own? My... — read more
Shapiro Suddenly retires
This ship is on fire now
Vendor employees sitting in on huddles
Yesterday and today so far and they openly said who they were without even trying to hide it. I am in CCC. Heard they are in CCC sales huddles too.
You want retention?
Yet you pay your front line less than anyone. You overwork them. And, worst of all, you have run off the majority of our talent. USAA has gobbled up so many claims reps and will continue to do so. Starting pay for experienced OAs at USAA is more... — read more
Ignore the fear tactics
As technology changes with automation I am 100% sure one day all of our current positions will be eliminated. However, we can always switch roles as new positions are created or leave the company. It makes no sense to worry every year whether we will... — read more
Can't get used to the lack of transparency
Everything here is always behind smoke and mirrors. Things always happen in the shadows. I hate this lack of transparency, but what else to expect from this company.. Rumors about cuts are circulating widely. Does anyone have info on which... — read more
Layoffs are coming
Like a thief in the night, you will not know when or where it will happen. The bog boys are good at keeping it all under wraps until their big unveil. Follow the bread crumbs : the more work that is offloaded from your desk to give you some much... — read more
Two years later, I'm still holding on to some anger
I was cut two years ago. I've moved on since and managed to find a better job but after two years I still can't let go of all of my anger. I keep remembering how often I worked late, on weekends, and holidays, how many times I went above and beyond... — read more
Any new info....
Has anyone heard anything new on what areas will be laid off and when? I have seen over the next 6-12 months on here but anything more specific than that...?
RUN!
If you support shared economy get out now! A member of Wilson’s team recently announced Allstate completely lost the Uber and Lyft accounts. Get out while you can. RUN!!!!
The only way complaints will create change
I don't think that any complaints can change this place for the better, unless each person individually acts on their complaints by submitting his/her resignation. Agree? Anyone who hopes that one day it will be better here is living in an... — read more
Unfortunately being an overachiever is a wrong path to take at this company
And just to be clear this is not a thread in which I claim we should do only the bare minimum. However, doing more than it is required from you at first is definitely not the right way to go. If you perform better that the rest of your team just gets... — read more
Allstate Special Topic Investor Call – Allstate’s Investments Strategy
Any idea what is this going to be ???
Work ethic is your worst enemy here
It'll get you noticed, but not in a good way. Managers will see you as somebody they can keep piling more work onto because they know it'll get done and you won't complain. The less trouble you give them, the more screwed you are. It shouldn't be... — read more
How many managers are redundant?
How many managers would need to be cut to make Allstate function better? Any estimates?
Allstate getting rid of paper billing august 15
If I was Tom Wilson just make it so customers have a choice if they want to receive a bill in the mail. Let me guess with this new change of course they are still going to charge a installment fee smh. This company is ran by people who do not have... — read more
Over 1500 EA for sale
Just heard from a senior leader that over 1500 plus agencies are for sale or cashing out by years end. Talk about transform growth this is it. Morale is at its lowest point
What do managers do all day????
Honestly, what do they actually do? My manager is in meetings all day everyday. Yet, nothing ever comes from it? What can they possibly be talking about 8 hours a day? My manager never has time to meet with me because she's always in a meeting? I got... — read more
Are you more worried or eagerly waiting?
Before, I was asking if anyone had heard any rumors about layoffs because I was worried about losing my job, but now, I'm asking when the layoffs will happen because I'm looking forward to getting my package and leaving Allstate.
Only when you leave this place do you realize what a mess this is
I knew this place was a mess even while I was still here. However, only now, after I left and saw how it could be better, only now do I regret not looking for a way out much earlier. The problem is that after Allstate it's hard to get used to a... — read more
You can tell
You can tell that Allstate is buying its own stock again…
Allstate should be bought by another insurer
That's the only way I can think of that we could maybe end up with good leadership. Otherwise, we're stuck with the clown show we have right now for good.
Good leadership has disappeared
All good manager , sr managers , Directors have disappeared from Allstate. What ever we have now are insecure that they daily talk about RIF.. If you don't get this done you will get riffed.. I told them I am not doing the work so that I become part... — read more
SO MANY CLAIMS REPS HAVE LEFT!
I am SHOCKED by the number of adjusters who have left Allstate. No announcements are made. Need to call a colleague on another team? First - check to see if they still work here! It seems since I started 4.5 years ago, more than half are gone, the... — read more
No mass layoffs this year
I have no insider knowledge, but people saying layoffs would happen in July and now we are working towards mid August
Brandt will become CEO of another insurance company
Possibly something like Gainsco or The Hardford. Bet on it.
When redeeming qualities do Wilson and Shapiro have
It seems like some people here like them as executives
Transformative Growth
I hate TGP. Did anything positive come out of it? I don't think so.
Great Point Made. No One Cares!
I saw in a thread below regarding terrible morale that most Allstate employees just don't care anymore. I find this to be very true. Even in town halls and meetings with directors and division managers you can tell and it is obvious. Some division... — read more
Customer service
The VPs want us to take care of our customers but they provide third world equipment and budgets to do so. You want to let a body shop do the job of a licensed adjuster then call an adjuster to be told something totally different per policy?!?! You... — read more
Allstate Commission Structure
Can someone explain the new commission structure I'm a producer at an agency My agent offered 17% on new business and I still keep the 3.5 % on renewals. I have been comparing to the independent agencies which pay 15% on the front and 15% on the... — read more
Instead of solving issues, Allstate multiplies them
Allstate is not the same company it was a few years ago. It's getting worse every year. The workplace is increasingly toxic, the burden on employees is increasing, dissatisfaction is also increasing. Problems here just keep piling up. On the... — read more
Billion $$ Loss
Allstate posted a 1.1 Billion dollar loss in Q2 of 2022 vs 1.7 Billion dollar profit in Q2 2021. Large rate increases, more restrictive eligibility requirement and substantially reduced advertising all under way. Does not bode well for near term... — read more
