Actually jobs aren’t just moving to India. Allstate is outsourcing to Mexico, Philippines and India. Other jobs will also be outsourced onshore. We actually will loose a lot of knowledge about our difficult processes.
It's not a racist post. No one has an issue with India. The issue is an America company moving jobs overseas. If a top Indian company was moving jobs to the U.S. then Indians would feel the same way and rightfully so

No one has a crystal ball. There's no way to know for certain what's going to happen.
That said, there's the feeling in the air that a substantial amount of jobs will be moved into India. Even among US-based management, the company's new hires have been predominantly Indian.
This, and the strong shift toward moving operations and responsibilities into the hands of Indian counterparts, signals a push to outsource and reduce the domestic workforce.
The degree of reduction is anyone's best guess, but the push appears to be at almost every business unit. This indicates a broad, company-wide strategy.
My guess is that layoffs will likely begin in July/August, and persist through October/November. I think the target number of layoffs will be in the 30-40% range.
I think the end-state will be more chaos and dysfunction that increases operating costs and further damages market competitiveness. And like all short-sighted initiatives that end in disaster, it will be lauded and sold as a success to employees and stockholders.
This is based on nothing concrete, and it's not a statement of fact. But if this prediction is correct, it's only because it was aligned with what I've come to expect from the company.
Don't assume anything.
I assume rep adjusters are safe since we have to attend trials.
