Aside from the fact that I don’t think Allstate cares much about people leaving, sometimes it seems to me that leadership has completely lost control of the company.

It’s business, not the Girl Scouts. Congratulations on a long career, but no one owes you anything. Move on and enjoy retirement- if you think they didn’t care about you when you worked there, they don’t care at all once you leave. Life goes on, don’t dwell on the past.
After 49 years and 3 months as an agent, surviving every policy change, underwriting change, commission reductions, IT snafus up the ying-yang, inept field sales liars, corporate philosophy changes, loss of clients and referrals, agency phones taken hostage, claim department personnel gutted, increased expense to run the agency properly -- I just gave up. April fools day I was emancipated from months of sleepless nights trying to meet quotas from a system that moves the goal-posts in the middle of the game, and ever changing policy processing systems that fail almost hourly. I could go on about failure for hours and probably days, but most of you get it.
Ailstate stopped caring about people that work for their stock price, over ten years ago. Unless you govern your responsibilities from the top, you are merely a pawn in the ultimate pursuit of increased stock options and executive lordship. Sad, so sad, that the once great company I knew that my clients revered, has gone the way of "woke."
After all this time, I received not ONE phone call, email, letter, postcard, Goodyear blimp message from ANYONE in TC's management - nor, seriously, did I expect one. I write this to advise anyone who reads this that Ailstate has completely lost sight of who built this company into the once-great company it was. Management, frequently lately, comes and goes with the wind. Employees or 'Independent Agents' who were spun off in 1998 - used to care ... but, if you read this site, they no longer do. The death spiral began a number of years ago ... the funeral has already been paid for by yours and my effort while riding the insurance Titanic. UNPRECEDENTED.
