Does the fact that he gives hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to help animals change your opinion of him at all? Or the fact that he would likely give money to someone who was struggling?

I resigned from my position as a senior property adjuster right after Allstate shut down ERL and raised the threshold to 4 claims a day. I realized pretty quick that Allstate did not value my loyalty or work ethic. I have accepted a position with... — read more 

Property claims desperately need independent adjusters. Our work load is through the roof, not to mention the HUNDREDS of employees quitting and us taking on their load. Why don’t they take the auto adjusters and put them here instead of the ccc???... — read more 

I was really excited when Shapiro joined Allstate in 2016 or so. I understood what he did to Liberty Mutual, but in his early talks around home office, he spoke about learning from past mistakes and being more thoughtful in his decisions. I am keen... — read more 

In case somebody is here because they're vetting Allstate to see if they should apply: don't. If you're smart and know what you're doing any place will be better than this. Here, you will only be seen as a threat and no amount of good and hard work... — read more 

If we were laid off prior and come back to the company in another role do we get severance again if laid off again. Or is it a one time thing per employee? I was able to save up and not use all the severance other than the prorated portion that I am... — read more 

I know legal is undergoing layoffs starting in August but who is next?

When I joined Allstate I thought I was making the right move for my career. That turned out not to be true much quicker than I could have ever imagined. Now, I've found another position but I'm too scared to accept. I'm worried I might end up in a... — read more 

First let me welcome the company internal auditors, security and whatever hired to do damage control since this site started trending on social media. Oh IM a crazy conspiracy theorist. Okay. Transformative Growth is a nothing but cutting costs... — read more 

My question is for those who are new to this company: how quickly were you disappointed to have accepted the job here? Despite my advice to try somewhere else, my friend’s son accepted a job at Allstate, regretted it in two months, and is already... — read more 

I had already taken on a lot of work after my colleague left. Now another colleague has left Allstate and there are good chances that I will have to take over his job as well. I absolutely don't want that. I mean, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t... — read more 

My thoughts and positive vibes to everyone and all areas that are or to be impacted. Everyone will end up better in the long run and it will all be ok.

I think there have been so many cuts here recently, small and large, that we've become desensitized to it. I remember when every mention of layoffs caused outrage among everybody. Now, most people glance over it and move on. Unless it affects us... — read more 

50+ in processing and over 20 in SIU got their walking papers on Thursday. Other claims areas to be impacted over time through August as the expected transition of claims to India starts to take hold and becomes reality.

Two folks I know got their 60 day notices today. Same severance package as usual. Not certain how many impacted today for sure but there were over 20 people in their meeting. The two I know were tenured more than 5 years.

I work in Auto and have never been so stressed in my life. Everyone is on edge and ready to push work off onto others and point fingers. Can’t say I’ll be doing the “right” thing much longer. Doing the right thing only results in coaching about... — read more 

Some argue that you are less likely to be cut if you have more skills. I don't really believe it, because I know of people who had very specialized skills, but Allstate got rid of them very easily. Anyway, I'm interested in what are the specialized... — read more 

Genuinely curious if yours actually do anything? They are laying off good attorneys and keeping these Leads who do literally nothing all day.

What insured company do you guys think he will ruin next?

Has anyone else been told they can't promote to a higher position/band or apply for another position if they live in CA?

Disclosures show Brandt has total compensation of around $1.1 million a year. This really isn’t super high when you think about it....more like highly paid doctor or lawyer level. People should quite acting like he is making all this money or a... — read more 

Doomsday appears to be rearing its head.

Serious companies have a plan, but is Allstate doing anything at all to prevent possible cuts? They don't seem to be doing anything about it.

I don't think so, and it's better that the purchase didn't happen. I have a bad feeling that the end of that story will be very sad, with a lot of losses and a lot of layoffs.

Now, what are you going to do with imminent layoffs (which we told you were coming)?

CHICAGO, Illinois - On Tuesday the National Association of Professional Allstate Agents, Inc. (“NAPAA”) and several former Allstate agents filed a lawsuit against Allstate Insurance Company in the United States District Court for the Northern... — read more 

We get this off this year (Friday before is the business day before holiday in 2021) or was it a one time thing in 2020?

I swear, this has to be the worst company I have ever worked for. The incompetence on all levels of management is astounding. All the changes made in the past several years make no sense. It makes you wonder if the ELT has any idea what they're... — read more

Been gone for 5 months now, and still no word on returning my monitor and laptop. When do they usually reach out? Could they just be so unorganized that they don’t know what equipment I have??

Does it seem to you that this company is not doing anything to repair the damage caused by poorly made moves? It's sometimes fascinating to me that Allstate isn't doing much about it. Even if they try sometimes, it obviously doesn't work out the... — read more 

Anyone else on autopilot mode? I used to wake up dreading the workday and after a while I lost all motivation to work. Now I only work the bare minimum. There is no longer any hope that Allstate can motivate employees to be more engaged. As for me... — read more 

Let’s be honest, $16 million a year to Tom is fair because of how much responsibility he has, and how much hard work he has to do.

Welp, they CLEARLY said that they will be laying people off across the board in Legal to "meet company needs". What a joke that call was. Listening to them read from a script. Glad I have been job searching.

Today at 11. Looks like about 50 of us in it. Titled "Department Update". We are in auto adj. Anyone else get and any ideas of what this is?

If you were apart of the Nat Gen/ Encompass Town hall meeting last week- if you read between all of the vagueness that was given- you can tell there will be major changes coming that way. Even though we are very short handed- many will be let go... — read more

This company is doing everything as sneaky as possible to make adjusters quit. Tremendous file load, processes, and short staffing. Obviously, they want all to leave so they can ramp up India adjusters. What a mess
