Isn't that illegal?

It is illegal but the S-B’s make you sign a waiver in exchange for the severance. Further they play funny numbers and will show anybody falling in that category as retiring. If that is you make sure you get your retirement gift. I was with the company for 39 years and my job was outsourced in 2021. I chose to not apply for another job. This company is not what it once was. They laid us off in a group setting! They su-k.
What claims teams are being canned?
@ab these people have blood on their hands is more like it.
Lots of older white men leaving
It’s not age related. A lot of folks in IT were part of layoffs this week including myself and I’m 38. There are others I know who are younger than me who were also laid off this week. It’s bloodbath no matter the age or tenure or the rating of the associates
@a5 You're NOT in good hands with Allstate
They’re getting rid of everyone…
@a4 by fiance was let go. There are younger people making more than him. He is 55 and a level 2, not a level 1. His manager (60) is being paid till January and retiring, same for onother peer. Seems like an age thing to me!
55 years old, 8 years with Allstate and let go 11/11/26. 2 others on my team close to retiring were also let go. No reason. Performance was not the issue.
My fiance had 8 years of tenure in claims adjusting. Age=55. The two other of the 9 employees on the team: the manager and a peer are suddenly retiring at the end of the year. Yep all over 40.
51 and let go today. BPCII within Direct Sales. 13 years tenure.
It's difficult to describe how disappointing and heartbreaking this experience has been. Allstate talks about leadership, accountability, performance, and people, but when it comes to making decisions that affect people's lives, those values seem to disappear.
Out of five people on my team, I was ranked second in performance on the scorecard, yet I was the only person selected for layoff. Let that sink in.
After dedicating my time, energy, and commitment to this company, delivering results, and helping drive business performance, this is how it ends.
What makes this even more difficult is not just losing a job. It's realizing how little loyalty and consideration a company can show toward the people who helped build its success.
Companies have every right to restructure their business, but there is a human side to every decision. Behind every position eliminated is a person, a family, financial responsibilities, and years of dedication.
Allstate may call this a business decision. For those of us affected, it's a painful reminder that loyalty to a company doesn't necessarily mean the company will show loyalty to you.
It’s not age they are scrubbing, it’s higher wage earners. It just looks like age due to tenure. Thats bad enough, but what’s worse is their consultants have taught them how to camouflage that by also laying off x% of random 30-something’s. Therefore some people are laid off for literally no reason.
I'm only 31 and I was let go. 9 years with the company though if you mean tenured employees
Only if you can prove that’s why you were let go. If anyone seen an OWBA disclosure, please share the percentage over 40 that we let go and the percentage under 40 that were kept
