Thread regarding Allstate Corp. layoffs

Reality

This company has decided to oversimplify understanding “absolute” talent. And those selected can feel good about themselves “because the company said so”. Is ANYONE surprised the SAME people? 65% performance and then other Corp factors? And reflect on for some reason the employees consistent response in surveys (Inspire and others) that promotions and ratings are not right, at high percentages. Where are we in all these years evaluating THAT consistent data point. And then you use it for a 65% data point. Give me a break. Own up!!

As long as they can quantify then it must be right. Right? But human input is still 65%. And we know how that goes so....more of the same. No surprise. Predictable. Same. And you will get what you get. Don’t let this define you. This company does not deserve that powder. Done and out!

It sounds like employees think their annual review reflects how they perform in their job? Hardly. It's a popularity contest and says more about immediate management than anything else. In addition they just use it and your "relative market$" to suppress your % increase. Wage suppression is huge at this company. They think they are going to be keeping the best and brightest. The jokes on them, they are keeping the best bootlickers.

The culture has always been they choose the wrong people as "up and coming talent". Yes-people are promoted but real talent, smart, capable people who ask questions are passed over and usually jump ship. Butt kissers are the typical "leader" at Allstate. Lacking in intellect, creativity, and ability they all do whatever they are told. They do get creative if you slam them on the surveys though! I've seen them get creative and fire quite a few truth tellers.
