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
What happened?
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?
Cerritos Ca,
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.
Another Layoff-Not Sure How Many Were Let Go
Last minute meeting separating the groups. One was informed of the layoff, and one was let go. Not much information given.
Round 2 Today?
Hearing rumors round 2 of layoffs coming today.
The reputation was already bad anyway
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
The company will never be able to attract such talents again
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.
Auto Club of Southern California (AAA) is Hiring !!!
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
Horrible
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.
President of Property and Casualty Division
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
They gave up some of the greatest talents
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
You're lucky to be out of this mess
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
It was needed… to an extent
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
National General is hiring
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.
What now?
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
A lesson for those who stay
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
Mass Layoffs by KEMPER in breach of the WARNS ACT
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
Layoffs Arizona office
80 let go, no warning.
Act like an owner. Or not.
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.
Good luck on your dumpster fire hire of a CHRO Ismat Aziz
Jesus Christ, doesn’t anyone do a reference check? Sincerely, The good people at Sprint
Major layoffs at Kemper last week
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

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!!!
