At what point does the DOI say enough is enough? We have cheapened the claim inspection process to a point that having an adjuster license is pointless. Having contractors perform home inspections? Customers are SO frustrated. How do you answer a... — read more

Our Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel has decided to retire. She could had been planning this retirement long before this mess, but the timing makes one wonder. I know I definitely wouldn’t want to be General Counsel of Allstate right now.

Or, do we need a some kind of discussion forum? I can set it up.

Should Agents be worried?
I’m curious if there are any Corporate or Higher up employees that will honestly share if the agents pay will be reduced again in 2021 and/or 2022? If you are an Allstate Agent, what makes you stay here through all this uncertainty?
It's scripted y'all
Welcome to the Grand Illusion of the NEW AIC! They think we are not smart enough to know we are getting snowed. They are trying to be perceived as transparent to employees and be engaged with diversity. Everything thing is scripted and... — read more

Help!
We are being held hostage at Allstate!
The company is trying to bully us
We are being "offered" opportunities for positions that are 2-3 pay bands lower than what we were let go from by senior leaders. Of course they cannot force us into these positions since they are well below the 10% lower pay threshold but they are... — read more

If you are a person of color and are being laid off from Allstate, do you care about Tommy Boy boasting about increasing diversity and equal pay or do you not even care?
