Reportedly this week's layoffs start today with impacts through Friday.
Since this company will likely try to be stealthy with the layoffs and not remotely transparent post areas impacted and potential numbers here as they are found out.

@db I'm on service team, have a meeting in the morning. Yeah, I've been preparing myself ever since I heard from other coworkers who got an invite for a 15 minute meeting.
Service teams are canned! 2 months pay and 2 weeks severance for every year of service. All while Allstate had a profitable 3rd quarter! Fu-k the CEO and the executive team!!!!
@d2 you can find it on the benefits site
@cg I’m on the NGIC side too in claims. Wondering same thing.
Does anyone know how many people are impacted?
@c7 Nobody asked for special treatment, you condescending d*ck. Someone is pregnant. Scared. Unemployed. And your first instinct is to be a complete piece of sh-t. You didn't make a point. You made an a-s of yourself. Shut the fu-k up.
@d0 omg EC here too. Our team just got a new person two weeks ago, makes me think wtf??
@d0 so sorry. EC in casualty east (southern area) and was so effing shocked by this. like wtf?
@cy I tried looking into this today, just in case. I didn’t get laid off (yet), but about half my team has so far. I didn’t see any severance information in the HR portal at all anymore. There used to be a whole section on that in the employee termination section, and it was all edited in September… all gone now
@c1 no. Unless you’re targeted due to pregnancy. I just got laid off today too. It seems very random.
@cw EC here too. More than half my life spent here. I do a good job, lots of training with new folks. I wonder what kind of impression this leaves with a newbie
@ck. An entire "sister team" to ours got let go in 2020. We did similar work but for different areas. They had hundreds of items in their queues. The work kept coming to them daily for a few weeks with none of it being done. Then one day they were all gone. Vanished. Just deleted by someone and not worked. Important things that customers were depending on. Some claims outcomes depended on....just deleted. This company doesn't care about their customers at all. Just meat that the head honchos think will just keep mindlessly paying premiums.
No one should expect anything else aside meaningless layoffs to pad their fat cat pockets. They hate their employees even more that how little they think of their customers.
Severance still the same 8 weeks plus 2 weeks per year?
@bh Laid off today too. 12 years of service. So sorry.
@bk fellow EC from Region 2 here. So sorry. This is such a crazy amount of bullsh*t and out of effing left field. WTF???
@cq he-l no!
@ch I am so sorry but that's what happened to me and I got laid off.
@cq I haven't gotten a meeting request yet but half of my team has and I'm too anxious to do any work. Because what is the point?
So question is anyone going to actually work the last two days?
This company epitomizes corporate greed. I know they aren’t alone but they are truly a toxic example of today’s American corporation. A bunch of insulated twats at the top wearing golden parachutes and laying off workers in favor of cheap overseas labor. For the benefit of who? Not the customer, not the working man, but the shareholders. Wow, so excited shareholders might earn more money (for doing jack sh-t). Fu-k all of them
@OP yep. My whole team got the boot today. Each one of us 15 minutes with a different manager who didn’t even have to courage to turn on their cameras and look at us face to face. Just breezed through a script. No empathy, no compassion, just another meeting. We contacted about reporting manager as it was happening and even they had no idea. Very sad day.
@ck I gave sh-t reviews on Allstate Asks (except for my manager, they’re awesome but in a terrible job) and have got a 1 on my review last year. I still don’t have anything scheduled
@cf I don’t think this is based on individual scores either- not when they laid off entire teams. They are letting go entire service teams with no exceptions. Good, bad or indifferent- people of various levels- all got the same news, the same way at the same time.
Allstate got the worst reviews they have ever had (or so the rumor goes). This might be a house cleaning to start over- at least where some teams are concerned. Our team has TONS of work, some of it still mid flight. Nothing put in place to have anyone pick this work up. They must have a plan, and it might be just bringing in new folks for less money.
No proof of course, but it seems a bit suspicious still. Be interesting to see how they transition the work that still needs to be done.
Folks already getting their 15 minute meetings for tomorrow this evening. Hearing from peers in different areas. These shitbags won't even let you have a reasonable night's sleep.
Just got the meeting invite 7 minutes before clock out time. 15 mins tomorrow w someone to discuss organization.
Does anyone know what else might be impacted on the NGIC side?
@ce The answer is "no, I didn't as I had no reason to." I liked my team, my position, and my boss. This is the usual random cr-p, same thing that happened in 2020 - there's some algorithm or some framework the powers that be use to "score" people - even the score recipients don't know the criteria that was used.
I've given MANY a NEGATIVE review and have gotten a few when I was a manager (way back in the old days) - never had an effect. I've actually been pretty happy these last 10 or so years.
Did everyone here getting layed off give Allstate a bad review on the last “Allstate Asks?” I am starting to wonder if this is retaliation. They post great numbers, but cut out all these people? I gave low scores… is it not as anonymous as they say?
@c3 When they let our whole team go, the script being read kept referring to it as a “transition”, until someone called them out and told them to call it what it was- we were all getting fired. (There was no transition)
@c7 - I suspect it was just honest confusion about the law. Like the other thread about FMLA, people have heard there is some sort of protection but don’t realize it only applies to targeted individual firings rather than mass actions.
Any idea if claims will be impacted? Specifically on the NGIC side.
Curious about property Subrogation and if anyone has heard anything? I’m sorry to those that got the news today.
@b0 what dept??
@c1 You were laid off with countless people who aren't pregnant. Wild that you would think you get some sort of special consideration for your job security for that, good luck though.
That makes sense as I have not done any real work in years and they are suddenly asking me to deliver by end of year
So sorry to all impacted. Looking to see if I get a meeting tomorrow. Underwriting here and I can say the vibes and feelings have been weird the last week or so. Kind of expecting it considering they are letting other areas just make their own underwriting decisions and skirting us altogether.
Heard today they are planning another large round of layoffs in quarter 1 2027. But there are usually at least some in quarter 1 each year.
2 people in my direct time was let go, out of 8 people, 25% gone. And another team also lost 2 people.
They are trying really hard not to frame this as not a layoff, but "reduction of workforce"
@c1 doubtful unless you can prove you were laid of because you were pregnant, which if they are really laying off so many at once would be difficult to prove.
