A question for people who keep telling everybody to leave

Voluntary Retirement Offer
Does anyone know if a voluntary retirement offer is being considered by Allstate?
Could it be worse?
I really don’t know what else Allstate can do to put their employees in an even more unfavorable position than we are now. Could it get any worse? However, when it comes to aggravating the situation, we should not forget that they are experts in... — read more

Auto techs/queue and your pending

So you feel the workload is not manageable?
The deal is they do not remotely care if your work is managable. It is all part of the grand plan. The powers that be make it so unless you can work 70 hours a week you can never keep up. They hire 6 people in India that combined makes less than you... — read more

We’re NOT in good hands with Allstate

Allstate is overplaying their hand with new direct models
The two new models Glenn and the “gang” are pushing: Captive sales agents, working a–, selling only P&C, with no renewals. The agents are responsible for paying for their own leads, insurance and equipment rental. 2500 by end of 2021are what’s... — read more
