They have been pushing team members in the most recent all hands meetings to take their PTO and time off. I have never heard such a push for this from leaders. I have been with the company over 7 years now, and there’s never been mention of taking... — read more
Role Level
How do you find out what level your position is? I’ve seen posts saying N4 and below are getting laid off I don’t know what “level” my role is. Is there a place in workday to see it?
EA role changes
In what was once a somewhat protected role, we are now being told that the EA roles are now changing to a worldpay model. I’m fairly new to Global Payments and I’m worried about my job now. This place is toxic and creates anxiety for their employees... — read more
Goodbye Heartland?
A lot of whispers say July. Jville-Heartland is one of the targets. Is it all of Jville or select leaders? If you know, just say so people can start preparing.
I have done everything right and still have no offers
I keep my skills fresh, paid for a resume rewrite, network constantly, and still nothing after five months. The interviews I got went well and then they just stopped responding, which somehow hurts worse than a straight rejection. What else can I do? — read more
Vertical markets
If you’re with a vertical market like touchnet, greater giving, zego, mineral tree, heartland, etc How are things going at your respective companies? How are earnings? How is morale? Or is the sales pipeline and sales leadership?
Global/Worldpay Layoffs
We had a crunch meeting today, to tell all staff that all departments including companies they have acquired will be taking lay offs. more than 20 from my dept alone, would be one third.
Layoffs are destroying the culture
Did you notice that after every layoff the environment becomes a bit more toxic? People start keeping to themselves, become less cooperative, and are more likely to take credit for things they didn't do. It's not even that I blame anybody, I can... — read more
Will this week bring more layoffs?
There were some rumors of more cuts at the start of June, what happened with that?
Rebadge Incoming (stealing your severance)
I recently participated in a high-level meeting where it was communicated that Global intends to transition remaining employees to the vendor InfoSys through a “rebadging” process rather than conducting direct layoffs with severance packages. During... — read more
The trade off that's not worth making
I've been thinking a lot about the people I've watched burn out here, the ones who stayed late every night, who answered emails on weekends, who pushed through stress headaches and sleepless nights because they thought it was what they had to do... — read more
Tomorrow’s meeting
global engineering and operations all hands tomorrow Wonder what we can expect to hear
Who is next?
Anyone know who is next to go and a timeline?
To the shareholders
What concerns many operations employees right now is not just restructuring itself, but the growing disconnect between executive strategy and the actual realities customers experience every day. Operations teams are often the people closest to the... — read more
Wellness Day?
GP Used to have a wellness day that would be announced mid-May and we could take it during the last week or so of June. the day wasn't included in the normal pto schedule since it was considered a "bonus" day with RIF incoming, should we expect that... — read more
Too many cuts
There were so many cuts lately that every person on my team now does the work of two people - if we're lucky! Some are doing even more. When will this end? When we start keeling over?
All Hands
This call started off with the highest of BS, and CB does think like an owner and his wallet is bulging because of it. The first 100 days has been a Sh** Show!!
Benefit Changes next year
Hope everyone is ready. VP here from LEGACY (not Heritage) TSYS... benefits will be changing next year. Expect changes with time off packages, 401K match, hybrid work (full RTO), and substantial increase in Healthcare costs. You heard it here first... — read more
Microsoft & Planview
I have been in the company > 5 years working in various Orgs. This migration to O365 and Sharepoint has been a disgrace. Google sheets and Looker dashboards all losing functionality and requiring work. And having to run every tiny piece of work... — read more
Happy RTO day everyone
Was your office busy?
BIGGEST YET
The July action will be the biggest reduction in force to date.
What a waste with all these consulting companies
I spent there less than a year - I quit because I was bored. I observed 50+ people doing almost nothing, mostly consultants or other peers. My manager (SVP level) was unable to control her area and didn't even know what she should expect from people... — read more
Major RIF coming in June?
Sounds like all departments in both companies have been told the last two levels of Orgs will be settled in late May through June. This means mass layoffs at this time. Curious if anyone is being told different, later in the year etc. I know some at... — read more
No vision, no future, no strategy
That's this place in a nutshell.
When is hGP promotion cycle and when do bonuses get distributed?
FIS and WP promotions took place in July (first pay period) and that's when raises go into effect. Is GP traditionally a different time in the year? And does anyone know if we will move to July for the whole company, or whenever GP usually does it?
Do you know what I hate?
We used to have job security. No matter what, I knew I had some stability. I could buy a house or a car because I felt safe. Now my mortgage feels like a noose around my neck since I can't tell anymore if I'll have my job from day to day. It's really... — read more
Summer Friday/Summer Wellness Days at GP?
WorldPay got an extra PTO day each summer and could do Summer Friday's and log off early. Does Global have something similar?
GP recent job offer
Just got a recent job offer from global payments. I will be working with genius but makes me nervous with the acquisition and layoff consolidation.. any recent news in regards to plans? What’s going on
How many heads so far?
Just curious if anyone knows how many people have already been let go this year, and what they're trying to reduce down to. If you take all hGP and hWP combined at the start it was around 27k people, right?
For US employees - WFH means your time is coming
From a meeting today if you are WFM you won't be able to move internally. All new roles are in office. The unsaid part is also if you are WFM expect to be treated differently from now on. Less or No promotions, more scrutinized, first on the... — read more
Too many chiefs
Feels like five managers for every person actually doing anything. Someone told me when I started that one percent of people do ninety nine percent of the work. They were right.
July 1st Reorg
Based in Europe in the Product org. We were told this week that by July 1st they will have the reorg pretty much done and seems like layoffs are coming due to the TAM. What's other orgs hearing and what region are you in?
RETURN TO OFFICE
So why is it that some people feel this does not apply to them. Don't get me wrong. I was wfh the majority of the last 2 years, but I enjoy seeing my coworkers in person. There are entire offices and teams that dont come in even though this was a... — read more
RIF in Tech Org
An all hands invitation was sent out this morning for April 1 GP and WP leaders on it and I hope that they have some information to share instead of an hour of word salad slop.
It's exhausting! RIFs are soon to come in technology!
It's simply hilarious. Goals due, but no direction from leadership. Some orgs haven' been shared yet. No idea what to expect when L3 in technology is and what it means when it is shared in the next week and what that means for everyone under the... — read more
Curious
Is there anyone from Worldpay here that can offer some insight into what kinds of communications they are receiving from their leadership?
Office locations
Does anyone have a list of Americas office location addresses?
Legacy
Ongoing rolling layoffs are being executed without a clear audit of role impact or transition planning. The result is predictable: critical responsibilities are disappearing, remaining teams are absorbing gaps, and service quality is starting to... — read more
Leadership Accountability for Layoffs
Layoffs are not a strategy. They are a symptom of failed leadership. Layoffs impact millions of people annually, with approximately 19.2 million U.S. workers being laid off per year. Too often, are wrapped in fancy words like “realignment,”... — read more
Legit Question
Do we really think the company will lay off all merchant facing jobs and move to the Phillipines? How could we do that and still be an American company and publicly traded? This is alarming to think we could lose our jobs just because cost is... — read more
