I'm a hard worker. I never before complained about the amount of work we're required to do but enough is enough. The goals are becoming so unattainable that I'm working so long each day I'm constantly forced to outsource the care of my kids so I can... — read more
Pune closed due to COVID
We were told in our area's floor huddle today that the Pune center has been shut down for 30 days with a re–evaluation then. It shut down Tuesday. About half of the employees have the capacity to work from home. They don't have quite the same... — read more
This is the mentality people need to start adopting
It'll keep you looking forward in your career, rather than selling for cr-p https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/opinion/google-job-harassment.html
The job market is really bad
How disappointed were you looking for a new job? I didn't think it would be this bad. I have a feeling that the market situation is not improving at all. Each new interview is an additional disappointment. Sometimes I get to an interview but that’s... — read more
Wilson about to let Shapiro go
The India covid surge has shut down Pune call centers which are on the outskirts of Mumbai. Reliable sources tell me TW had a staff meeting major meltdown when Pune started shutting down, no contingency planning and short staffed in U.S. due to a... — read more
What is going on with the SCO?
Are there layoffs happening in legal? I am an claim rep working with attorneys and something is going on.
What does it mean to you?
I had a colleague tell me to “take ownership” of my career a few weeks ago. I’ve had that on my mind since. I’m curious to see what that may mean to others. Does it mean get out before you’re kicked out? Does it mean to always be looking for your... — read more
Run
Allstate laid off half the claims department and sent even more jobs to India. Everyone’s workload was doubled and customer service took a nose dive. Customers did not like this so they began switching to other carriers in droves. Remaining employees... — read more
Those who recently quit
If you're still reading this, I have a question. When you gave your two weeks notice, did your manager expect you to stay on for two more weeks or were you asked to leave immediately? It's not that important if I stay on for those two weeks, but if... — read more
ALLSTATE COMMERCIAL
Can anyone substantiate the rumor that Allstate Commercial is for sale? Not that it's a big deal, commercial has never produced any significant numbers to the company's bottom line. With their antiquated underwriting and zero appetite, TW could... — read more
Separate important things from non important ones
Allstate was a very stressful environment for me until I started to separate a little more carefully the silly things that happen every day from the really important things that concern my job and future career. I’ve noticed that this is a problem... — read more
Content of Assessment
Does anybody know the questions for the timed portion of the assessment? Any clues or even the name of the test would be helpful.
Layoffs are on the horizon across the board
Get out when you can and do not look back.
Can someone explain what all the talk of retention numbers/ layoffs/terminations is about and where its coming from?
I am a newer–ish employee and really confused
Retention
Fingers crossed that a significant decrease in retention will be reported during the earnings call....
Nobody deserves to be treated like this
We work so hard every day, breaking our backs to get everything done in time despite being severely overworked and for what? So that the company can use us up, step all over us, and then dismiss us like we never existed. This is a truly shameful way... — read more
Covid-19 India
Has covid–19 greatly impacted the "Transformative Growth" plans in India? India has the 2nd highest number of Covid cases in the world (with the US being the 1st). I can't see how they are mass growing the staff there to take on all the jobs they are... — read more
TW and GS insurance
Do you guys really think these two have Allstate handle all their insurance needs?
Whom did they offer VSO to?
Which band E employees (and above) are offered voluntary separation? What logic did they follow? Does anyone have more detailed insights? I believe that most of those to whom it is offered will accept it. Unfortunately, I was not offered VSO... — read more
No Casualty layoffs planned for 2021
Per today's meeting. Take that as you will.
Poll of who is taking the Voluntary Termination for Bonus level and up
Curious who is taking this and why or why not.
“As the Allstate turns”
I have to wonder if the endless drama created by the “leaders” of this corporation is driven by their incompetence or their intentional abuse of their employee base... Endless..daily drama that takes the focus off high lying customers that they... — read more
Make sure you know what you’re doing
A coworker left three months ago for a new company and he couldn’t wait to say goodbye to this place so he didn’t even give two weeks’ notice. Well, now he realized that the new place is just as bad as here only now he’s also the newest addition... — read more
Great job Allstate claims!
Too many Allstate Clients to count that are being treated in this manner! Amazing that TW can’t exactly put his finger on the slip in... — read more
Stay the course
Don’t give them the satisfaction of quitting right now. They want to get rid of as many of us as they can while paying as little as possible. Don’t think that benefit cuts and overall increase in bullying by managers is not planned. They’re trying to... — read more
People who come back
I know two people who came back to Allstate after they got laid off and after that talked all the worst about this company. Is the job market so bad that people agree to come back here or does Allstate give some much better terms than they had... — read more
Exaggerating mistakes, downplaying merit
I really can't stand this company anymore. My supervisor is always there to minimize and devalue all employee merits. It would somehow be bearable if he was not inclined to exaggerate all the mistakes at the same time or what he thinks is wrong... — read more
Most current Allstate applicants are former laid off employees.
I assist 4 different areas with new hire applications, interviews, and education. The vast majority of the hundreds of applications I sift through a week are former voluntary resignations where they are rehirable and employees laid off last year from... — read more
Voluntary separation agreements
The voluntary termination offers have been extended to band e employees and above LAST WEEK. Layoffs WILL HAPPEN.
Acceptance and Embrace Change
Acceptance of the reality that Allstate is not the same company as it was 5-30 years ago must be understood. It is a very cut and dry company that favors the shareholders and upper management. Customers and rank and file employees are considered to... — read more
The management knows it can do whatever it wants
I keep hoping the management will finally see some consequences for their st—d decisions with so many people gone through layoffs and attrition and not enough people left to do the actual work. But despite below market compensation, barely any... — read more

The mindset of the average Allstate lifer... And we wonder why jobs are headed to India
Stock price
Its 122.06 at the moment. You work for a publicly traded company, and that is all that matters. You have your 401k money in Allstate? Guess what...you are making money. You got stock options...oops I forgot most on this site barely make 15 an... — read more
I hope Allstate fails
Even if that means I'd be out of a job when it does. At least I'd know the leadership would finally see some consequences for what they did to this place. It's hard to imagine (although sadly not impossible) that anybody would put them in charge of... — read more
Embellishing the truth
I believe there are many people who have found much better jobs after Allstate, but I have noticed that most of them embellish the truth and exaggerate things. I know a person who boasted that she got a great job, that her life is now much better... — read more
Inspire Survey
Get pumped! Not many questions about senior executives and officers on it. Do they do that to prevent criticism?
The only good thing left
The only good thing left about Allstate are its people. There are still fantastic people working here, people who could turn this place around if they were given the opportunity. Sadly, with the current management that values "yes men" over merit and... — read more
