Fed up! It's time to go.
I left Allstate in 2015. At that time, talk was Allstate would eventually sell all their property in Northbrook. Looks like that came to pass. The big shocker is seeing how quickly Allstate lost ground and went from a premium insurance model (competing with the likes of State Farm) to a low-cost insurance model (Esurance).
Would anyone recommend giving a notice of 2 weeks if another offer comes? Using pto?
It is really not much severance once you factor in forfeited stick/bonus vesting. Depending on how long you can last before getting sh*scanned, (especially if you can vest one more year), then you may end up net ahead (or close) rejecting the vto. Also consider delayed start date to have to go out-of-,pocket for EXPENSIVE health insurance under CIBEA, if no coverage through a spouse .. ALL isn't going to tell you about the vesting forfeiture/no award. Do your homework to know your real exit numbers.
We just got word last week that all Band 2 Processors are being let go by August/September, that is over 3,800.00 thousand employees. Our jobs are being sent to India.
Eyes wide open. In my personal and first-hand experience Tom Wilson is not a decent person. That's vague, and maybe doesn't seem biting enough for some, but at its core it pervades all his actions and thinking. BTW, heard there's an article out from Cains that he made $18M last year.
What states are you that have received offers in? How were you notified?
So now the legal ops time has come....as a band E SCO attorney our front lines are plaintiff attorneys and Judges, protecting insureds and running interference for Claims.....if they think they are going to handle BI cases the way they are currently handling auto and homeowners damage claims .... it is gonna hurt them bad... although I love a good fight, you can't fight with one eye your opponent and the other on your back....cause Allstate doesn't have and can't be trusted. I have fought tooth and nail and saved them a lot of money...unfortunately they decided to save money using me another way, by getting rid of me
Curious as to your thoughts on my assessment on the SCO VTO
Whether by the VTO, layoff or run out through metrics the writing seems on the wall for band E. Haven't picked my fate yet
To the poster from sco, are you taking the offer for sure? If so, why? Curious as to your thoughts on this.
I'm a band E in an SCO.... got my VTO I guess I should feel lucky but still digesting the career change after 15 years
Was it offered to every employee at that level and higher or just some people?
If enough of band e doesn’t take it, then layoffs will occur at every level. Layoffs are going to happen regardless. Just a matter of how many.
Does anyone know if this offer will eventually be extended to other bands?
People have a right to complain about being put in a position to choose severance or potential layoff or risk doing nothing, sorry buddy!
Based on this post, here is your chance to get out an stop bi—g. For those that aren’t bonus level, sorry, but tenure and skills does have a price. As for those who blame the lifers for this situation, that by the way ultimately paved the way for you hipsters to get a job here, get your resume up to date, cause more work is on the way. But I’m sure you folks are smart enough turn things around so no worries.
Yah, if people don’t take that kind of severance they will be laid off after anyhow so it’s better to take it and look for a new job! Bird in the hand!
Band E and above are getting offered voluntary separation packages. This is company wide. They must decide by a date in first couple weeks of May. If they decide to take it, they can work until October and will receive either a 6 month or 12 month pay severance when they leave depending on length of employment. Wonder how many people will take this offer? It is a lot of severance pay to just turn down at that level.
I wish I was getting vto
Started handing out voluntary separation plans as of two days ago. It’s happening.
Technology band E and above received a voluntary termination offer today
Its really frustrating that this forum keeps censoring me about the greed of Allstate leadership outsourcing jobs to India. What are you afraid of? Are in the back pocket of Allstate?
Shapiro and Wilson have/are destroying this company. First, they closed all drive-in's in 2017, followed by a large batch of lay offs (RIF). 2019 - 2020 closed several MCO's. Late 2020, another round of lay-offs, eliminated positions (30%). Total loss department nearly eliminated, turned over the duties of total losses to auto techs (inspectors). Now another round planned for June. Please read Shapiro's resume; he nearly destroyed Liberty Mutual. Wilson is just a cheap bureaucrat. Does not car how hard we work or the stress of the job; only cares about the bottom line of little old lady stockholders who never did a hard days work their entire life. This country and this company are backwards. I tell everyone I know NOT to buy Allstate insurance. I noticed none of the cuts were at the top.........hmmmmmm.......
Any details on the June round?
The next round is scheduled for June
- ...property and legal
Claims are down due to Covid and Covid is gonna continue. They probably won’t backfill Folks who leave or retire. Even plaintiff attorneys feeling it, so fewer injury claims and suits too. My guess is around April when they figure out who can be home, who needs to be in office and July when they hope to be back in office.
The best thing for any US working adult to do right now is to invest in skills development, even if it means using personal time to do it. The labor market is changing. Jobs that exist today won’t exist forever — at Allstate or any other company. The pandemic has accelerated this change. Companies are moving faster than ever to change how they do business. I try to carve at least an hour a week to spend on EdX or LinkedIn Learning. The courses are actually really good. PluralSight too. It’s not for everyone, but it works for me.
If you were on the Town Hall this week you would know that the chances are probably high. The way TW answered the question was very vague and for us who have been here long enough know what that means!
2021 will be goodbye US jobs hello India jobs
Self service will be front and center.
This November 2020 round is just round #1. There will be continuous RIF’s and consolidations to the zones moving forward. Allstate will do everything possible to reduce the $20-$40 an hour adjuster to a $12-$15 an hour adjuster by going offshore with processes and to low cost of living states, especially since they can, given covid and the high unemployment rates. It’s not going to end until the economy recovers enough to where it will be an employee friendly market. Low unemployment rates = better treatment and wages as corporations will have to compete with higher wages to get skilled workers. Right now, it’s an employer friendly market since so many are getting laid off and businesses are closing. They know that and are taking advantage of it. It won’t turn around quickly. 2021 will be a hard year at Allstate.
