They sent an email with a recording letting us know there was a “reduction in force” aka lay off! I’ve been with the company 4+ years - no write ups or warning. My metrics and numbers all at meets and somehow I was let go. They did the mass layoff in... —  read more 

My best to those that got layed off. Hoping to get out soon myself. What happened today with layoffs? Any idea on their rational, how it went down? How many effected?

Kemper layed me off today, no warning at all just a 10 minute live stream video. They even hired extra security to escort employees out. Thanks Kemper for firing 2 pregnant women at your Cerritos office.

Last minute meeting separating the groups. One was informed of the layoff, and one was let go. Not much information given.

Hearing rumors round 2 of layoffs coming today.

This company did nothing to help employees exit in a dignified and appropriate way. Exactly the opposite. Kemper's reputation was already bad and what will it be after these cuts? I personally think that the public perception of the company will be... —  read more 

Cutting some of the most talented and loyal remaining people, apart from being demoralizing for those of us who have survived for now, is a great loss for this company. Will it ever be able to attract such talents again? I doubt it.

It's terrible to hear that you all were laid off like that! Let's get together and come up with a plan. AAA has tons of career opportunities available auto adjusters, field adjusters, SIU, plus many more. I encourage you to take a look at our career... —  read more 

I feel terrible for the people let go. Agree some was likely performance based and probably needed to be let go, but some good people in the mix that didn’t deserve it. Sorry this happened the way it did.

In May, there was a town hall meeting where DS came with a bunch of higher ups and they all left in a limo! They made people come into the office on a Friday just because DS has a vacation home in FL and was going to be staying there for that weekend... —  read more 

I'm disgusted considering that they laid off a star employee, a person from whom everyone could learn a lot and with whom it was a pleasure to work. I'll be honest and say that I deserved that layoff more than he did, because I stopped making... —  read more 

I don't mean to be callous but considering the mess Unitrin has turned into, all who were laid off should consider themselves lucky. You get a chance to start over in a better company with better leadership that knows how to treat valuable employees... —  read more 

Yes, was a horrible thing for those impacted. However, this was 3% of the company employees affected. Kemper has purchased multiple companies and retained all of the employees. This needed to happen much earlier. Not saying the methodology was right... —  read more 

Sorry to hear that you guys got laid off like that. It’s horrible. National General has 100s of open positions doe to the recent merger. Over 250 open FNOl, auto claims reps, auto field appraisers. Ect.

First of all, I feel sorry for everyone who is affected, I hope that everyone will get better jobs soon. I'm now wondering how this will all work further because my team has lost great people who did the most work. It will be a shortstaffed... —  read more 

The way these layoffs were managed is a good lesson for those who remain. This place does not appreciate your loyalty, hard work, skills or dedication to your job. We are all just a number here. You should always keep this in mind while updating... —  read more 

Please note, my wife who was an SIU Manager was also laid off after 10 years of service. I work for an outsourced HR firm. After reviewing this case and the number of people laid off without warning, this places Kemper in breach of the WARNS ACT. Go... —  read more 

80 let go, no warning.

Kemper’s core value specifically encourages employees to Act Like An Owner. Speaking up and asking for assistance to help find a solution for problems is not what they meant by Act Like an Owner, apparently.

Jesus Christ, doesn’t anyone do a reference check? Sincerely, The good people at Sprint

Almost 200 let go last week alone! A lot more to come. At least everyone knows now, no more keeping secrets about the layoffs. Same old AAA, another year, more layoffs. Bumped from @TaMRcqu-80asm for info. It would be great if somebody could... —  read more 

First workforce reduction is complete. When will be the next and how many are next?

Auto field staff to be reduced 50% minimum. Half this year and half next at the latest. Primarily in California. Not a rumor. This has already been decided by CSAA. First announcement very soon, but no later than 8/1/18, likely much sooner. Just a... —  read more 

Some other companies here in Chicago are having cuts - this makes us nervous as well. I hope things stabilize soon and that there will be no jobs lost in 2018. Good luck to all!!!
