It makes me sick to see an email breaking down how well Allstate did last quester, but had to lay off so many employees to get there... corporate greed at its finest.
Mental health
What is Allstate offering for people mental health! This is really affecting a lot of workers I know and I can’t see how a company can be so insensitive to only mental health but the issues we are are dealing with concerning the pandemic! Allstate... — read more
Data and metric overload
Does anyone feel that even for non exempt employees, that data/metrics is being way overused to calculate our workload? I feel that front line managers are wondering why we need to track all this and can't just do our work. Plus middle management has... — read more
Have folks received their severance yet?
We are now approaching the later part of the 60 days after final day for the first round of layoffs where Allstate is required by the esigned documetation to have severance paid out. Hearing a lot of people have not received and have heard nothing... — read more
Has anyone affected filed for unemployment?
I haven't really seen any discussion centered around unemployment benefits. Has anyone that was affected by the reduction in force filed for unemployment? Never in my life have I ever had to consider this, but in 22 days, I won't have a choice. Is... — read more
Oh my god, I'm sick
Is it just me reading the tone wrong? https://www.wsj.com/articles/allstate-metlife-report-mixed-results-as-pandemic-continues-11604532088
NEW ALLSTATE
Allstate used to be the company everyone wanted to work for, now it's the company everyone wants to leave.
Claims New Zones and Assignments
New claim zones and assignments are being laid out this week, adding new states and taking away some states to each zone. It Seems our jobs will only became more difficult and open up to future DOI complaints and incorrect information as we are now... — read more
Kronos is going to make a lot of people upset
Kronos is already a headache. You have to sign into the VPN, then sign into talent connection, then go to Kronos to clock in. If the VPN takes a while to connect? Sorry that’ll be 5 minutes of PTO. Lunch goes over a couple minutes over 30? That’ll be... — read more
Nobody will want to join
Allstate is building such a lousy reputation as an employer that it's bound to come back to bite it in the a–. The company has laid off so many people (and it continues to lay off on regular bases) and created such toxic work environment that I'm... — read more
Spying on employees
Does anyone else get the feeling the company spies on them through their company computer and phone while working? I mean, it’s their equipment so they can’t technically do what they want but I’ve had a number of coworkers complain to me that they... — read more
Layoffs
I was part of the layoff and this was the worst freaking timing ever. The amount of stress you have caused to thousands is unforgivable. Timing couldn’t have been worse. We’re still in the middle of a pandemic. Change is inevitable but was delaying... — read more
Signed into my emails tonight to see if there was anything for Kronos.
Nothing on Kronos, but got an email stating that I have a new course in Talent Connection. It’s for new employee training and onboarding. Started and did all this five years ago when I started! What are they not telling me??? I’m shaken and... — read more
Does anyone know
Why or how certain individuals who have been in their local team/unit are being chosen to work for other teams under new CSL’s? Is it high performance and earners?
Why am I not grateful ?
Here I am, still employed, working from home, I should be grateful right? But this company has been so awful with their strategy and corrupt tactics, in a pandemic, treating and communicating so poorly people want to quit ....it’s hard to feel... — read more
"Employees are a resource and financial liability" - Glenn Shapiro
Today's Saturday nugget of inspiration from one of his famous 2020 town halls.
Severance delayed
My final day after my 60 day was mid September. I know it can take up to 60 days from your final day to receive severance. However for sh–ts and giggles I called HR to see if they had a status of my severance payout. The obviously stressed and not... — read more
Mass layoffs after alleged insider trading by Tom Wilson
Allstate indemnifies its executives against lawsuits. How much money is being wasted defending Tom Wilson against all of the insider trading allegations? Take a look at the latest one filed in Federal Court...Mims v Wilson...look at page 10 (of... — read more
How often do they make mistakes like this?
I took 10 days pto before I quit, was still paid for my unused days, and then later after time passed I received a fed ex from HR telling me I owed them back 3 days pto because they made a mistake on my final pay. I now owe close to $ 900 which I... — read more
Talent Lost
Much talent was lost in the layoffs. Home for good and much more tremendous loss of human capital to come. Turning away from the covenant has lead to this. Profit > people = loss of talent
Not bad feelings
Anyone who truly knows talent knows the company is losing talent. It does not mean at ALL that you get the best people (HR). You can manage through the difficult personalities you selected.
Big Brother
What is the name of the position where you get paid to IM me when I stay idle “too long” on VA? Why are you still employed and how are you still employed?
Claim Work Load and Capacity
In the claims town hall today it was mentioned that claim counts are down as a result of the pandemic. As an adjuster, I have to completely disagree. Claims appear to be back to Pre-Covid levels. Is anyone else experiencing an increase in claims... — read more
Northbrook
Are they closing the northbrook offices by 2021? How many depts. Have been loss. From northbrook .
Second look sweep coming for early 2021
We were told in department town hall yesterday that another "second look sweep" of all departments and areas will be done after the dust settles in early 2021. This may result in "hundreds" of additional cuts/layoffs. But more important this is where... — read more
QUITTING
I cannot take ANYMORE of this company. I still have PTO does anyone know if they still give you your PTO in a paycheck? I have about 16 days of PTO left wanna know if I can get paid for it since I earned it or if I quit I just lose it all.
Claims adjusters need a UNION
Reading through the weeks and months of all of these posts really shows how horrible this company is treating its adjusters. Can anyone start organizing or getting some help from their local unions to give the adjusters a real voice? The anxiety... — read more
Posts taken down?
Why do legitimate questions keep getting removed and who is removing them? I asked a new question about the town hall and it was taken down. That is extremely annoying.
Town Hall today
Does anyone have a verified answer on why we are having another town hall this close to the last one?
GHRN T/L COMPLETELY BROKEN
Tired of making excuses for Allstate to the customer on why there is no communication between Allstate Auto and the GHRN SHOP. I'm leaving at end year and glad to separate from this mess.
RMBC part 2 tomorrow
Leaders and other RMBC areas learn fates Thursday.
Northbrook il
Did the accounting department in Northbrook Il. Recieve Layoff notices yet?
Was ASAP cut down?
Have three peers in ASAP that had meetings yesterday. Tried to contact them and none of them responded which is unlike them. Most worried.
D-Day for RMBC
Was just given heads up by team member. We are merging with customer/agency services too.
ASIC was hit Tuesday
A lot of cuts and elimination of areas in ASIC today. Shocked by some of the names and areas eliminated. :(
Department Names
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about ASAP, RMBC and ASIC. Can someone please tell me what these departments are / what they stand for? I genuinely do not know. Thank you
Animosity between departments
It’s not that I haven't noticed it but I’ve also seen here on this thread ( @1hsp+17CdeoDq ) that employees of some Allstate’s departments don’t like each other. I think it's crazy and I’ve always wondered why is that so? Can someone please explain... — read more
Cut offs and Zone assignments
When are the adjusters affected getting cut off on claims? The adjusters staying don't want to be burden with unsettle claims. Affected adjusters will need time to clean up and close financials. Also when will ppl know what zone their going too??
Here we go
At least some people will know their fate at Allstate today. I barely slept at all last night, I can't wait for this to be over. I wish I had the confidence of a few of my coworkers who are convinced they're safe and I'm pretty sure they slept like... — read more
Procrastinating looking for a new job
I hope that layoff will bypass me for at least a few more months or that circumstances will change with the discovery of an effective vaccine, but I am afraid that we, optimists, are usually wrong. Everything indicates that I should look for a new... — read more
