Thread regarding Allstate Corp. layoffs

Entire department forced into AI

I work for corp and it’s been scary watching this AI hype play out over the last few months . It started with managers mentioning copilot very often now it’s turned into department wide training . In any meeting led by a director or above , they literally will start off by saying something like “i used copilot to write my into today”

The part that worries me is they are literally telling us to use it for emails. Eventually the entire department is just gonna be corresponding to eachother with robotic AI garbage .

Sure i understand the power of AI and it can be used in many ways . But to force it down 100+ employees and make them implement into their work stream just feels so weird . I’ve never had less faith in a company than i do now. I’ve frequented this sub for the 5 years I’ve worked here but i never expected it to actually be this weird

Yeah another pie-in-the-sky idea that will save the shareholders million on paper but in reality will end up costing more in the long run. Management seem to think copilot will replace people - you give it a list of tasks, tell it to do them and a few seconds later they're done and correct and accurate. They don't want to know the reality - like a calculator or a spreadsheet, copilot is just a tool that actually needs a person to be of any use. But its something else to fool the shareholders with for another year so they can keep getting their large salaries and planning their eventual exit strategies.

@a2 Copilot is so bad even the engineers within Microsoft refuse to use it, yet genius senior management at Allstate have spent millions on it.

Total clown show.

@a2 at this point im laughing at them. i look around and team morale is insanely low. they have themselves to blame for that. just a bunch of hypocritical robots.

think about the amount of C-Suite change that has happened in the last few years. its a sh-t show here but nobody is ready to admit it

going all in on microsoft products that will slowly start to splinter reporting sectors across the country. all while doing another migration as they have to force everything into fabric.

Especially copilot… it su-ks compared to Claude. Allstates dependency on Microsoft products is holding it back
