So with a little chuckle TW announced he took the assessment and received his results. That’s awesome. And he was amazed how accurate it was. We were all told the we would not receive the results of our assessments as it’s not a pass/fail. So why... — read more
Wait, why was I hired?
I was just hired for remote direct sales. I don’t understand this at all.
Really?.. Assessment Results
So Major Tom got to know the results of his assessment and it was "so accurate and reflective" and we will never know the specifics of ours...That's really telling
Tom Wilson Assessment
Tom’s version of taking the assessment = person, woman, man, camera, tv. Also, none of these questions are live. And I’m 99% sure this meeting is pre-recorded.
Questions
Does anyone really ever have their pre-submitted questions answered in these town hall meetings? I’m wondering if they just answer their own good sounding questions and pass it off as ours. It always seems like their reading their “answers”.
How do skills transition to new opportunities?
If a BI adjuster was looking for a new position outside of Allstate and is interested in getting out of insurance altogether - what positions would the skills used in Allstate transition to? What job openings could be related but not in insurance?... — read more
Hmmm
was told to expect home deliveries the next 2 days could they be 60 day notices? We shall see. Leadership has 2 days from yesterday to have them all done.
Chandler LDU
Chandler AZ ldu will start get WA with their current CA claims starting Thursday

Is anyone else trying to apply for a different job at Allstate
I did, and DENIED, no phone call or interview, just an email after a week or 2 that I am not wanted (was qualified for the job, same pay band and everything) Anyone else?
New update today 8/25/20
We were told today that Texas (Dallas) LDU adjusters are now going to be claim loaded with Arkansas and Tennessee LDU claims. I'm not in LDU so I didn't get more than that. I don't know if that means Texas LDU is safe? Does that mean AR and TN are... — read more
GHRN use bordering in steering.
Removal of field resources and increase of pro shops in all markets. We are pushing our legal limits and trying to steer customers as our shops are their only choice.
I give up!
I give up! Do we not have a group to speak to. I feel like I have lost all hope. I am terrified of losing my home and my car. I have worked hard to be able to provide for my daughter. I cant keep performing at 100 percent, while I am dying inside. I... — read more
Worse than being unemployed
I was one of the people not laid off, yet, I would have much rather been laid off with how bad it is here verses keeping my job. Anyone else feel this way?
Town Hall
This thread has been quiet for the last few days. Did everyone receive the email for the Town Hall I’m Wednesday? What kind of “new” and “exciting” information do you think we have to look forward to ?
No
I really hate working for a company that I potentially have no future in.
Town Hall 8/26
Here we go!
Is Allstate mostly laying off adjusters?
I worked at Allstate staff counsel office and they made attorneys sit in cubicles. No more offices. It’s the cheap type of cubicles, too. Not the type with high divider walls. Instead of admitting that it was part of cost cutting, they pitched the... — read more
Why didn’t Senior Leadership manage expenses?
For years employees have heard that Allstate operated at a high expense structure but appropriate actions could have been taking. Proper spans of control, no bonus level individuals that didn’t have direct reports, performance manage those not... — read more
Just a thought
How about the ones that get severance ..... all put there money together and also find an investor and create a new ins company all of the talent will be there already as Allstate dosent appreciate us
Exciting times at my desk!
Thank you Allstate for threatening me with a layoff. I have gone through a bit of a transformative growth myself. This will last 6 to 8 weeks but once I know where I stand I will assess if I got to make to my former self or keep this new version. .. — read more
Assessment email
Wow!! Thank you for taking the assessment!!?? REALLY!?? Go F YOURSELF!!
Please Sever Me
I am tired of low pay, metrics being crammed down my throat, and layoff games. Im ready to have a job that I care about and at least halfway cares about me. I’d be happy to walk away with some extra pay and find something different? Anyone else... — read more
ESURANCE AND GENERAL ADJUSTERS
What are you being told by higher ups and how are things changing for your organization? As you can see, it is complete chaos here at Allstate. I think it would be helpful if we kept each other in the loop.
Serious Question- Rate reduction
The transformative process is centered around the goal of lowering the cost of insurance to grow and better retain customers. Once the rates are reduced, will the current Allstate customers policies be automatically re-priced? If not why? If so... — read more
Disassociation
I'm now too embarrassed to tell people i work for allstate now. a few years ago we received folding lawn chairs with the allstate logo. i loved that thing. but i absolutely will not use it anywhere anyone can see. ditto my shirts. it's going to... — read more
National Deployment
I was told that I will be going from a sales band to a traditional employee band, they have no idea what will happen with our bonuses or if they will be paid, has anyone heard anything? I could lose a lot of money, I am already losing a lot of sleep... — read more
The Future
Imagine if you will, an Allstate organization where the Good Hands are severed and there is no “Fast, Fair, and Easy” for our customers. Customers used to be able to get through to an agent or someone who cared, now they are forced to log-In... — read more
Reality
This company has decided to oversimplify understanding “absolute” talent. And those selected can feel good about themselves “because the company said so”. Is ANYONE surprised the SAME people? 65% performance and then other Corp factors? And... — read more
Additional Exciting, Transformative Ideas!

Too bad
It’s too bad we require money to be free and are tied to ridiculous circimstances like this one. There’s been no effort to communicate with employees, and now the morale is toxic. Bravo Allstate. I’ve been working really hard......... Cram it... — read more
Tom Wilson town hall next week?
Anyone know what day and when?
Pump and dump
We're doing the old "pump and dump" to policies as we get to them. Eat it Allstate! Keep the severance! You brought it on yourselves!
There is no upside right now for employees here
There are the people who do not want to be laid off because they need the job..... but what is the upside of all of this?? Staying??? It is clear that the company is going to get more aggressive with metrics and expectations going forward.. so if... — read more
Allstate You Win
I am waiving the white flag. You have broken me. The stress and pain is not worth it. I held on as long as I could. Even if I am retained I cannot remain with this morally broken cesspool of a company. I am no longer willing to hold on for the... — read more
If in need of help.
I wanted to post this as a reminder. If anyone needs help or feels like they are at a breaking point please reach out for help. We are all under tremendous stress/anxiety right now and we all can get though this. If you dont want to call the below... — read more
A NIGHTMARE!!
