Thread regarding Allstate Corp. layoffs

What the actual fu-k - Allstate benefits

I’ve been with this company for 5 years now in customer delivery, and I just found out my benefits totally changed without any prior notice. I filled out the virtual paperwork declaring myself as a never-smoker (which is honest) and a lower 401(k) contribution…. And I am getting the smoker penalty and a higher 401(k) contribution. What the he-l??? This isn’t even the first or second time my benefits have been different from my declarations.

Its always taken hours to get ahold of someone to make the fixes, and the fixes don’t always happen the first time I call.

I worked for a handful of companies in my 20’s and a couple of them were Allstate competitors, and NO COMPANY I’ve ever worked for has had this contentious of a relationship with its own employees. Allstate seems to do everything it can legally get away with to sc--w me, and probably other employees over.

Allstate is a buffoonish cartoon villain of a fortune 100 company and I’m so sick of it. No clue why I’ve stayed this long.

Interesting, when I worked there before my layoff in 2019 I had an issue the year before with signing up for my benefits. I did it online, got the "congrats" email and thought I was done. It was one month later that I tried to get a wellness check up with my doc and was told I didn't have insurance. I called HR, who were useless, and spoke with two people who I was told by two managers "would get it straightened out". Wrong! I went through the appeals process, wrote emails to those who were in charge and nothing. Now this is coming after 33 years of having insurance. Someone couldn't just use their noggin and check my history to see I ALWAYS had medical insurance? I was so amazed that no one wouldn't just flip the switch and voila, I'd have medical insurance again. Thank God I was kicked out. I would never set foot back in Allstate ever again!

Are you serious? The smoker status has to be updated EVERY YEAR during open enrollment.
